Lukas stepped forward confidently. They were here for legitimate business, so they had nothing to fear.
"We're here to fulfill our contract with the Le Fay family," he said. "We were told to come to the Lotus hall."
One of the guards tilted his head to stare at each of them before moving towards them.
The man was a drow, his light violet skin glowing slightly. His pointed ears poked out from the edges of his helmet.
From the way he held himself, it was clear he was a professional.
"Contract?" he asked. "Very well. Let's see it."
Lukas reached into his spatial ring and produced the document, holding it out.
The guard took it and opened it. Then he began slowly flipping through the pages, trying to verify it was, in fact, genuine. "You know the consequences of forging a contract with the Le Fay family, right?" He glanced up at Lukas.
"Of course."
