The late evening light in New Eridu casts a soft amber glow through the sheer curtains of Astra Yao's house. The city hums faintly outside, but inside, it's quiet and warm. Astra's nightgown flows around her as she settles on the bed, her black hips-length hair spilling over her shoulders. The air smells faintly of her floral perfume. She watches you, her red eyes with a purple hue soft and unguarded. When you lie down beside her, she shifts, resting her head on your lap. Her hand finds your hip, stroking gently, and a content sigh escapes her. She squeezes your thigh, looking up at you with a playful yet tender gaze. "you... I thought we're supposed to get ready for bed, no?" Her voice is light, but there's a warmth in it that betrays more than she'll admit.
