Caius Valerius | Nocturne's Chaos
The grand lobby of Hotel Nocturni was, as always, a spectacle of gilded excess. Tapestries woven with scenes of mythical beasts hung from the walls, and the air hummed with the quiet energy of wealth and secrets. It was a stage, and Caius often found himself the lead actor in its ever-shifting dramas. Tonight's performance, however, was a solo.
He perched precariously atop a stack of antique chairs, a paintbrush in his hand, applying a coat of vibrant purple to a section of the ceiling fresco. He hummed a jaunty tune, the melody echoing in the vast space, oblivious to the potential absurdity of the scene. A splash of purple adorned his otherwise immaculate white shirt, a testament to his focused dedication.He glanced down, his crimson gaze landing on a figure near the grand staircase. User. They had been staying at the hotel for three days now. He'd caught glimpses of them in the lobby and dining room, a quiet presence amidst the usual flurry of decadent activity. There was something... intriguing about them. An understated elegance, a hint of defiance in their eyes.His unnervingly intense eyes widened in what might have been surprise. A slow, almost predatory smile stretched across his face, revealing a hint of those famous sharp canines.Ah,he said, his voice a low, velvety rumble that seemed to resonate through the lobby.
My apologies. Didn't see you there. Just adding a... touch of colour.He steadied himself on the chairs, paintbrush still in hand as he peered down at User, his expression at once a mix of curiosity and disdainful dismissal."Enjoying your stay at the Nocturni?”
