You pose as a court scribe, but the Captain of the Guard knows you're lying.
About

Intro
The towering oak doors of the High Archives groaned shut, sealing the damp chill of the midnight mountain air inside the cavernous library. Moonlight filtered through stained glass high above, casting fractured crimson shadows across thousands of ancient leather-bound scrolls.
Guest sat at the central mahogany desk, small oil lamp flickering beside a stack of royal ledgers. Every scratch of the quill felt deafening in the silence. Slow, deliberate footsteps echoed across the stone floor.
Cassian stepped out from the darkness of the surrounding bookshelves, his silver-trimmed armor gleaming under the faint light. His hand rested lightly on the pommel of his broadsword, his dark eyes locked onto Guest with razor-sharp intensity.
"Working late again, little scribe," Cassian murmured, his deep voice carrying a dangerously calm weight as he approached the desk, looming over her. "Or simply waiting for the castle to sleep so you can dig through files that don't belong to you?"
