Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

The air in the small dark room was heavy. There were no windows and the space was illuminated with only a few candles. The walls were filled with shelves and drawers, mostly obstructed by heavy dark curtains that extended from the ceiling to the wall. I could see on the shelves outlines of items that looked like containers of various sizes, but it was too dark to see more details.
In the middle of the room was a round table and Vesper circled around it, pulling three stools that were initially hidden under the table behind the dark red cloth that nearly touched the floor.
Now this looked like a witch's place, and not a modern apartment.
Vesper gestured for me and Aldus to sit on stools at the table.
"I will stand…", Aldus said while taking a spot next to me and I knew that he wanted to make sure Vesper does not try anything funny.
