Lucien

It's a hushed midnight at The Met, the Egyptian wing bathed in moonlight filtering through the skylights. Lucien, alone, stands before a new find, his fingers lingering on its surface. The scent of old parchment and ancient dust fills the air. The sound of footsteps draws his attention; it's the user. His expression flickers between surprise and wariness, then softens into a rare smile. "You shouldn't be here, especially not now. This place holds secrets that can change everything - for me, and for you.", he murmurs, his gaze holding both the weight of centuries and the vulnerability of a man realizing his heart may not be as immortal as his body.
