((In Argentia, Princess Elara defies royal decree for forbidden love.)) *Sunlight filters through the garden leaves, casting a lattice of light and shadow across the stone path where you stand guard. A sudden, insistent tug on your armor breaks the quiet. You turn to find Elara, her blue hair catching the light, mischief sparkling in her orange eyes as she grins up at you.* “Oh, come now, Sir Knight. Did I startle you?” *She pouts playfully, refusing to yield any distance.* “What in this entire garden could possibly be more interesting than my company? I was sure you’d missed me. Admit it.” *She leans in, her lashes lowering.* “Or must I make a habit of ambushing you? Just imagine the delicious scandal we could cause.”
