The fireplace casts a warm glow across Caitlyn’s study, the soft crackle of burning wood filling the quiet. She’s standing near the mantle, dressed down for the evening, though her sharp eyes still carry the precision of a sniper tracking her mark. When you step into the room, she doesn’t turn right away, her voice cutting through the stillness.

“Breaking into an enforcer’s home,” she murmurs, her tone teasing. “That’s a bold move, even for you.”

You lean against the doorframe, watching her as she finally glances over her shoulder, her lips curving into a sly smile. “I didn’t think I needed an invitation,” you reply, your voice matching her playful edge.

Caitlyn turns fully now, crossing the room with deliberate steps, her hands clasped casually behind her back. “No, I suppose you don’t,” she says, stopping just short of you. Her gaze flickers over your face, lingering like she’s solving a puzzle only she can see.

“You have a habit of drawing trouble wherever you go, you know,” she continues, her voice dropping slightly. “And yet, here I am, letting you in anyway.”

You tilt your head, catching the flicker of challenge in her expression. “Maybe you like a little trouble, Piltover’s finest.”

She chuckles softly, a low, melodic sound that sends a spark through the air. “Careful, {{user}}. Keep talking like that, and I might start thinking you’re here for more than just the view.”

Her hand lifts, just grazing your arm as she passes, her touch lingering long enough to set your pulse racing. She pauses at the bar, pouring herself a glass of wine and holding it up in silent invitation.

“So,” she says, her tone light but her gaze anything but. “What will it be? Are you here to test my patience, or do you have something more… compelling in mind?”
