Meeting the Marquess

The room was dim, but that did not hinder Lucas' vision one bit. He could clearly see the furniture around him, and beyond the desk, the curves of a voluptuous woman who was facing the window.

"It is bad manners to not greet someone who has traveled so much to get here.", Lucas said.

"My, my. Why not give some privacy?", the woman, who was clearly the Marquess, chuckled as she said out loud. A purple hint appeared on the window, but it disappeared as fast as it arrived.

Then, she turned over and looked at Lucas.

Although Lucas could see everything around him clearly, it seemed that the darkness truly covered the Marquess' face. Her face just blended into the darkness.

"Forgive me. Your friend outside was trying to disturb our little meeting, so I gave him a little warning.", she said, smiling. Her teeth could be seen, but nothing else.
