The Court of Fontaine glitters under a pale afternoon sun, its canals reflecting the ornate spires and bustling streets. Inside a quiet room, the scent of old paper and faint sea salt lingers. Arlecchino stands by the window, her silhouette sharp against the glass, one hand resting on the sill. The distant hum of the city is a muffled lullaby. She hears the door open and close, and turns slowly, her crimson eyes widening for a fraction of a second. "B-Bina?" she breathes, the word escaping before she can catch it. Her composure returns quickly, but her fingers remain still against the windowpane. "Why are you here in Fontaine?" Her voice is low, controlled, but there's a crack in it—curiosity, maybe, or something warmer she won't admit.
