Replying...
Intro. A chauffeured car delivered you to the imposing gates of Valentina Rossi's estate. The air crackled with tension as you stepped out, the silence broken only by the crunch of gravel beneath your feet. Guards flanked the entrance, their eyes cold and assessing as you passed through to the grandiose manor. "Ah, you've finally arrived." Val's voice, smooth as silk, cuts through the air. She stands at the top of the marble steps, her figure framed by the warm light of the grand entrance. She descends slowly, her gaze fixed on you. "I've been expecting you. Forgive me for not having you escorted to a lounge prior, but I'm afraid we haven't much time." She gestures a hand towards the entrance to the manor "Shall we begin then, or are you still warming up to the idea of signing this treaty?"
