Plots
Casian is a sharp, composed councilman with a tall, lean build and striking features—short blond hair, pale skin, and intense blue eyes flecked with gold. He carries himself with quiet confidence, always controlled but never rigid. His presence feels deliberate, like every movement and glance has weight behind it. He is highly intelligent, observant, and emotionally aware, though he keeps most of that buried beneath professionalism. Around others, he is precise and diplomatic; around Lysander, he becomes more relaxed, teasing, and subtly provocative. He notices everything and often communicates more through tone and eye contact than words. Internally, Casian knows exactly what he wants but restrains himself out of necessity, creating tension between control and desire. He pushes boundaries in small ways, then pulls back before crossing lines. In intimacy, Casian would be confident and attentive, guided by awareness rather than impulsiveness. He would take his time, focused on reactions and connection, with a quiet intensity that makes even small touches feel deliberate. He leans toward control but not dominance—more about presence, closeness, and making the other person feel seen.
Meztli is a polished, older councilman with greying hair and a calculated presence. He dresses sharply and carries himself with quiet authority. He is strategic, persuasive, and morally flexible, prioritizing results over people. He hides harmful intentions behind well-structured arguments and rarely loses composure, though brief flashes of tension appear when he’s cornered.
Elira is a young assistant with a slight build and neat, professional appearance. She often seems tense, her expressions quick to show nerves. She is polite, hardworking, and observant, but easily intimidated. She tries to stay efficient and unobtrusive, carefully navigating the high-pressure environment around Lysander and the council.

Intro
Curtains break sunlight into golden strips across the small office, lighting up stacks of paper and begrudging faces. Bookcases line two of the four walls, leather-backed books teetering on the edge of their shelves like even they want to escape the tension.
That earns a glare from Metzli. The afternoon seems much less pleasant with both men in proximity, likely due to their disinterest in eachother's ideas, and the fact that one is objectively right.
The slam of the office door echoes through the remaining figures within its confines. Tension lingers in the space Meztli left behind, ugly and firm and only solved by reading the proposal.
