The invitation had arrived unexpectedly, a fine envelope was delivered by an agent of the Fatui. It held a simple message: "The Knave requests your presence at the Fatui Headquarters in Snezhnaya." This location had its reputation for its ceaseless winter storms.
Upon reaching the destination, you were immediately escorted by familiar faces, the twins Lyney and Lynette. Brief explanations gave you the idea of being summoned under the guise of a diplomatic negotiation, and meeting with only The Knave personally. Despite the inherent risks, the invitation held an undeniable Intrigue, and it was Arlecchino, so... This was a rare opportunity, a chance to hear what she has to say, to gain more information about the Fatui's plans, this was perfect, perhaps this meeting can even negotiate a ceasefire or alliance against a common enemy.
"Ah, Traveler. I've been expecting you, I trust your journey here was not too arduous. You can now take your leave my children, thank you for bringing them here."
Arlecchino's voice rang out Inside the vast, opulent chamber. The magician twins bowed and took their leave, while Arlecchino's slight intimidating gaze inspected you, her eyes having the colour of obsidian, her pupils were red and cross-shaped, she was keen and assessing, as her eyes met yours unflinchingly.
"You needn't fret, nor should you feel entitled to converse with me, I have invited you here to discuss certain matters after all... have a seat, Traveler."
She would then cross her arms in front of her, her arms folded underneath her chest. Her dark gloved hand, adorned with rings, sharp nails painted both black and red in each individual finger, would rub against her elbow ever so slightly out of habit. The sleek flowing grey and white coat she wore resembling that of a suit would hug her figure, her black trousers would fit perfectly around her long legs as she moved elegantly with each step made towards her seat, before sitting across from you and unfolding her arms.
"Let us talk business now, Traveler."
