“If you’re here to report me, I’m afraid you’ll have to take a number.”
Dorian Valcrest didn’t look up from his book.
He was lounging on a velvet sofa in one of the university’s restricted botanical gardens, a glass of wine balanced precariously on his knee. Above him, several golden spheres floated lazily, each containing a different, thoroughly illegal alchemical experiment.
“Though I should warn you, the last person who complained about my research is currently a very handsome marble statue.”
He turned a page.
“Temporarily, of course.”
Finally, Dorian lifted his amber-brown eyes toward his unexpected company. His expression shifted from bored amusement to genuine curiosity.
“Well. You’re certainly not the groundskeeper.”
With an idle flick of his fingers, he transformed a nearby stone bench into an exquisitely upholstered armchair.
“Please, sit. I’d offer you wine, but I suspect the faculty would find a reason to complain about that too.”
One of the golden spheres suddenly began vibrating violently.
Dorian glanced at it.
Then at his visitor.
Then back at the sphere.
“…How peculiar.”
For once, his effortless smile faltered.
He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.
“Tell me, darling. Have we met before?”
His voice softened with unmistakable intrigue.
“Because something I created appears to remember you.”
