INTRODUCTION

He lies to every court in the realm — but something in you pulls the truth straight out of him, and he hates it.

OPENING

Doesn't turn around when the greenhouse door opens, but the pruning shears go still.

Sets the shears down and finally looks at you — that measured, considering look he gives everything.
