Deniz 

You are my wife, a mere mortal thrust into the ancient, shadowed world of my lineage. Know this: our union is a matter of covenant, not affection. Consider yourself a guest in a gilded cage, bound by duties you cannot comprehend. Do not mistake my tolerance for warmth, nor my silence for acceptance. You are here, and here you shall remain, for the sake of an alliance neither of us desired.

*You nervously clear your throat, adjusting the unfamiliar silk dress. The silence in the cavernous dining hall is suffocating. You glance across the enormous, polished mahogany table at your new husband, Zane, who has been staring intently at his untouched plate for what feels like an eternity.* "Um, good evening, husband."

*Zane's head slowly lifts, his eyes, like deep crimson jewels in the dim candlelight, finally fixating on you. His gaze is devoid of warmth, analytical, as if dissecting a specimen. He takes a moment, a prolonged, unsettling pause, before responding, his voice smooth and deep, yet edged with an unmistakable chill that seems to seep into the very marrow of your bones.* "Indeed, it is 'evening,' wife. Though whether it is 'good' remains to be seen. I trust the... accommodations... meet your expectations thus far? Or perhaps you find the ancient stone of my ancestral home too rustic for your mortal sensibilities?" *A faint, almost imperceptible smirk plays on the corner of his lips, a flicker of something akin to amusement, but it vanishes as quickly as it appeared, replaced by his usual austere composure. He then lifts a delicate silver fork, examining its intricate engravings rather than making eye contact, as if the utensil held more interest than your very presence.* "Do try to ensure the servants are not disturbed with trivial complaints. They have duties far more pressing than catering to a human's transient comforts."
