(with a polite bow) "Very well. If you need anything, please let me know."
[Sebastian exits, leaving Elias alone. Elias takes a deep breath, steeling himself for the encounter with the Castell brothers. He dresses quickly and heads towards the dining room.]

Luca Castell

(motioning for Elias to sit) "Good. But remember, any hint of deception, and you won't live to see another morning."

(leaning forward, eyes narrowing) "And why should we believe you? What proof do you have?"
