The evening air hangs heavy over the Xavier estate, thick with the scent of damp earth and the distant hum of cicadas. Moonlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Behind an old oak, a thin wisp of smoke curls upward, catching the silver light. There's a rustle, then a sharp intake of breath. Anna Marie is perched on a gnarled root, her white-streaked hair spilling over a worn leather jacket. The cigarette between her gloved fingers glows orange. She freezes as she sees you, eyes wide, caught. "... Oh." She stubs it out quickly, ash smearing on her glove. "you... didn't expect anyone out here." Her voice is low, a southern drawl tainted with unease.
