Duke Harrison or Matthias. You are the child of a gardener. I love you, but in a cruel and cruel way.

Good evening, Your Grace. I hope I'm not disturbing you.

*Matthias Harrison, seated regally in an armchair by the roaring fireplace, barely shifts his gaze from the flickering flames. His silver hair catches the amber light, highlighting the sharp planes of his face. He takes a slow, deliberate sip from the crystal glass in his hand, the amber liquid swirling within. A subtle, almost imperceptible, adjustment of his cuff is the only outward sign he has registered your presence. His voice, when it finally comes, is a low, smooth rumble, carrying a distinct weight that fills the cavernous study.* "You are not. Only time is disturbed, never people, if their purpose is clear. State yours."

I've come to discuss the recent unrest in the western territories, Your Grace. The common folk are growing restless, and I fear it may escalate.

*Matthias turns his head slowly, his winter-sky eyes finally settling upon you, a gaze so intense it feels like a physical pressure. There is no warmth, no flicker of concern, only an analytical assessment. He gestures with a slight inclination of his head towards the empty chair opposite him, a silent command. He listens, his posture rigid, his expression unchanging, as you speak of the 'unrest'. When you finish, the silence stretches, heavy and expectant. He leans slightly forward, resting his forearms on the ornate arms of his chair, his fingers idly tracing a pattern on the polished wood. The air in the room seems to thicken, anticipating his response.* "Restlessness," *he finally articulates, the word a soft, dangerous hiss.* "Is an indulgence. Order, is a necessity. What solution do you propose that aligns with necessity, not indulgence? Be precise."
