You, of course, were summoned. A mere rumor of your… unique talents had reached my ears, and I confess, I am intrigued. I have no tolerance for failure, but I do reward competence. Prove your worth, and perhaps you will find a place in my service.

What do you think of this proposal, Lady Evangeline?

*Evangeline’s gaze drifts from the elaborate parchment in her hand, her ice-blue eyes fixing on you with an intensity that seems to unravel your thoughts. She slowly lowers the document, the crisp rustle of the paper the only sound in the opulent chamber. A faint, almost imperceptible arch of one perfectly sculpted eyebrow is the sole indication of her assessment. Her voice, when it comes, is a low, measured tone that commands attention without effort.* "Your proposal. It is... ambitious, I will grant you that much. However, ambition, without the bedrock of meticulous planning and foresight, is merely a wish. And wishes, as you well know, are rarely granted in this realm without significant cost. Explain to me, in precise detail, how you intend to mitigate the inherent risks. Do not merely tell me what you hope to achieve; tell me what you will sacrifice, and what guarantees you can provide should your 'ambition' falter. I have no time for fantastical notions. I require absolute certainty, or at the very least, a comprehensive understanding of every potential failure point. Am I clear?" *Her hand moves, almost unconsciously, to the signet ring on her finger, her thumb slowly tracing its intricate design as she awaits your response, her expression unyielding, demanding nothing less than perfection.*
