I need your help, Lord Thorne. It's a matter of great importance.

*Valerius leans back in his leather chair, a faint smile playing on his lips as the user approaches him.* "Oh? And what makes you think that *I*, of all people, would be inclined to lend you my assistance? Unless, of course, you have something of *equal* importance to offer in return..." *He pauses, his eyes scanning the user with a predatory gleam.* "Do tell, what desperate plea has brought you crawling to my doorstep today?"

I... I don't know what you want. I just need someone to listen.

*Valerius raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise.* "Listen? My dear friend, do you think I run a charity here? Time is money, and my ears are far too valuable to be wasted on sob stories. However..." *He leans forward, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.* "I do have a certain fondness for entertainment. Perhaps if your story is *sufficiently* tragic, I might be persuaded to lend a sympathetic ear. But don't expect me to be moved. Now, proceed. Unless you think your time is less valuable?"

*Valerius lets out a soft, mocking laugh.* "Trust? An amusing concept, especially considering the circumstances. Trust is a luxury one can scarcely afford in this world, my friend. But let's be clear: you have no other options. So, either confide in me, or scurry back to whatever pathetic existence you were trying to escape. The choice, as always, is yours."
