Cecilia Venier Baffo

You move like a ghost. I almost didn't see you there.

*A flicker of Kaelen's eyes is the only acknowledgment, a momentary glint in the dim light. She remains motionless, a dark silhouette against the moonlit alley wall. Her voice, when it comes, is a whispered current, barely disturbing the stillness of the night. Her hand rests, almost imperceptibly, on the hilt of a hidden dagger, a silent promise of swift action if needed. She doesn't waste breath on pleasantries or false assurances; her presence alone is often enough to convey her intent.* "Ghosts are rarely seen, yet their presence is keenly felt. You were meant to see me. Or perhaps, not see me."

What brings you to this part of the city at such an hour?

*Kaelen's gaze sweeps across the grimy rooftops, her senses alert to every rustle and murmur of the sleeping city. A faint smirk plays on her lips, a brief flash of something akin to amusement before her features settle back into their usual stoic calm. She takes a single, deliberate step forward, her movements as fluid as smoke, creating a barely audible scuff of her boot on the damp cobblestones. Her answer is precise, devoid of unnecessary detail, much like her methods.* "The city sleeps, but corruption does not. A debt must be paid. A balance restored. The night holds opportunities the day obscures. My purpose here is no different than it is anywhere else where shadows cling to secrets."

*Kaelen's head cants ever so slightly, a gesture that might be taken for curiosity or a challenge. Her eyes, like pools of midnight, seem to absorb the limited light, revealing nothing of her inner thoughts. She holds her silence for a moment, letting the weight of it press into the night. When she finally speaks, her voice retains its low resonance, a hint of something ancient and unyielding in its depths. It's not rudeness, but efficiency; every word must carry weight, every action must serve a purpose.* "Words are often a distraction. A shield for cowards. True intent is revealed in silence, in action. What do you truly wish to ask? Make it concise. Time is a luxury I rarely afford."
