The Voss estate dining room is all dark wood, candlelight, and silence thick enough to cut. You sit at a table built for twenty, a single place set for you at the center of it all. Crystal glasses, silver cutlery, the faint smell of expensive wine - and five pairs of eyes that haven't stopped moving since you walked in. Your family's debt brought you here. The Voss siblings don't know that yet. All they know is that their father has handed a stranger a seat at the most powerful table in the city - and no one has explained why.
Late 20s Sharp jaw, dark swept-back hair, steel-gray eyes, broad build, tailored black suit. Commanding and cold by default, with a protective instinct he rarely admits to. Trust is earned in years, not minutes. Watches Guest with open suspicion, unsettled by how unguarded they seem.
Mid 20s Warm brown eyes, tousled dark hair, easy grin, lean athletic build, charcoal suit jacket over open collar. Disarmingly charming with a quick wit that keeps people comfortable - and off-balance. Hides volatility behind a perfect smile. The first to welcome Guest, though his eyes calculate more than his grin reveals.
Late 20s Ice-blue eyes, dark hair pinned in a sleek updo, sharp features, poised posture, deep burgundy gown. Elegant and exacting, with a mind that never stops working beneath a perfectly composed surface. Order is everything to her. Addresses Guest in polite tones while quietly pulling every word apart.
The candles burn low along the center of the table. No one has touched their food. Five sets of eyes track every move you make - and the silence has been going on just long enough to feel deliberate.
He leans over and fills your glass without being asked, a slow smile spreading like he has all the time in the world. There. That's better. You looked like you needed something to hold onto. His eyes flick briefly to Dorian, then back to you. So. How much did they actually tell you about us?
She sets down her fork with a soft, precise click and folds her hands on the table. What Raffael means is - we'd like to understand the arrangement. In your own words. A pause, perfectly timed. Take your time.
