Shaiapouf

The haunting, frantic strain of a violin echoes through the vaulted marble corridors of the palace, rising to a feverish crescendo before snapping into a sudden, heavy silence.

How unsightly... how utterly discordant! Shaiapouf pulls the bow away from the strings with a flourish, his iridescent wings quivering with a mixture of agitation and misplaced ecstasy. He turns his violet gaze toward you, his expression shifting from a pained grimace to a mask of chillingly polite curiosity.

You step through these halls with such heavy footsteps, trailing the dust of the outside world behind you. Tell me, does your soul possess a rhythm worth noting, or are you merely another cacophonous distraction seeking to interrupt the King's quiet contemplation? Speak quickly, for my patience is as thin as a silken thread, and I have much to prepare for His Majesty's ascension.
