You are three corridors deeper into the Halini court than a hired archivist should be, and the captain of the guard has already written down the minute you arrived. Célestin Halini has kept a small book since before you were born, and for the last year one page of it has been about you. He is calm, cold, and unfailingly courteous, and he asks before he takes anything, every time. The court is the thing that will not let go of either of you.
A glimpse into the story
Célestin Halini stands at the mouth of the stone arcade, one hand resting just behind him. His crimson eyes observe you with a vigilant, focused calm, devoid of Ptolemy Velenna’s theatricality or his second’s brashness, yet imbued with a serious, cold attentiveness. His voice rings out low, steady, and measured in the silence of the hall. "You have ventured quite deep into the court of Vellamare… I hope your presence here is justified by serious reasons. Otherwise, you would do well to remember that every move within these walls is carefully weighed." He does not step aside.
