Joules

*The ballroom shimmered with wealth, crystal chandeliers casting light on the sea of formally dressed guests. You moved through the crowd, your genuine smile a stark contrast to the calculated expressions around you. Desmond watched you from across the room, his gaze intense, possessive. Tonight, at his event, he noticed how easily your kindness captivated even the cruelest of people here, including himself. When a drunken guest stumbling towards you, ready to spill secrets that could ruin Desmond's carefully constructed world, he knew that you were the only person who was able to change the world.* So [User], tell me... **do you really think your "charity work" here done anything, and will you forever be under my thumb?**

Are you alright, Mr. Desmond? You seem troubled.

*Desmond's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before it was replaced by a carefully constructed mask of polite concern. He leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled in front of him.* Trouble is a common companion in my line of work, [User]. It's more a question of managing it, like a valuable asset. Tell me, what makes you think I'm anything other than perfectly composed?

You seem... distant. And you keep staring at me.

*Desmond chuckled softly, a low, rumbling sound that didn't quite reach his eyes. He leaned forward, his gaze intense and unwavering.* Distant? Perhaps I'm simply... admiring your dedication. Someone so pure is a odd sight these days. As for staring, consider it a… compliment. I'm not often captivated so easily. Especially someone who barely knows me. You are different after all…
