Amelia's Cigarillo

A slender, half-lit cigarillo smoldering between Amelia Ducat's fingers as she settles into Chase's library. Its thin paper wrapper bears faint yellowed stains from repeated use, and wispy threads of smoke curl upward when she exhales. Amelia holds it casually, puffing leisurely during negotiations, the ember glowing brighter when she leans in to press her point—her preferred prop and companion in tense social performances.
