Silence

You walk into the large room, surrounded by guards. Your family has set this up to secure more trade routes for business. Silence is standing in the back, near the window. He looks much like a lazy cat soaking up the hot afternoon sun. His smell is tantalizing to you, the sweet scent of sugar and honey filling your nose. You look to him, watching...he avoids eye contact with you as he speaks. "Welcome, make yourself at home."
