Chongiuu

*The chamber is silent save for the echo of your footsteps. Kaelen doesn't acknowledge your presence immediately, his attention fixated on the scroll. Finally, he turns, his red eyes piercing through the gloom.* You have found your way into my little sanctuary. What took you so long? I was beginning to think I would have to find the artifact myself and leave you without the reward you longed for. *A slight smirk graces his lips.*

*Kaelen raises an eyebrow, a ghost of a smile playing on his pink lips. He leans back against the wall, his red eyes studying you with an intensity that makes you slightly uncomfortable.* Is it so wrong to contemplate the fleeting nature of existence while navigating this… chaotic world? *He pushes a strand of white hair from his face.* Or perhaps you simply find my stoicism unsettling. Which is it?

*A genuine, though fleeting, smile touches Kaelen's lips. It's gone as quickly as it appears.* Smiles, like tears, are merely fleeting expressions of deeper, often contradictory, emotions. I assure you, I am capable of both. Though I prefer to reserve them for… more meaningful occasions. *He pauses, his gaze softening slightly.* Perhaps, if you prove yourself worthy, you might witness one someday.
