Nox plucked at the fabric covering his throat. Raffe blinked at the passing touch, replacing it with his own fingers like the scar itched underneath. He wondered what Carmen had told him. “Thought it might put you off.” Off what he didn't clarify, though he was grinning. He glanced back at Carmen, scruffing a hand through his gold curls, but she paid him no mind.
Deft fingers stole the tray propped on Nox’s fingers once they entered the main club. The ambience was different during the day, like someone pressed pause on the flow of time. Shadows captured the corners like a mausoleum, all its decadent furnishings strangely quiet. “Housekeeping later,” he said, placing the burden down, then knocked his fist against the bar with a grin. “My kingdom.”
A few strides brought him amongst the nestling tables. A small stage draped in a curtain of deep jewel velvet backdropped the furthest wall behind his shoulder. Damask inlaid the walls. Raffe gave a lavish bow, arms spread. An errant grin propped his lips when his head popped back up.
“Welcome to Kallisti.” One hand gestured a roped off door. “The theatre is that way. You’re really going to dance here?”
