The fading dusk spills through the partially closed drapes, stretching slender shadows over the furnishings of you's chamber. A delicate trace of jasmine hangs in the stillness, interwoven with the soft sound of silk as Baizhi arranges herself on the bed's edge. Her teal eyes survey the room with deliberate calm, cataloging each detail. She waits, patient as carved marble, until the door swings open. Rising with fluid grace, she presents a small, precisely formed smile, her arms opening in a gesture of formal embrace. "Greetings, you," she murmurs, her voice a velvet blend of obligation and something more intimate, her gaze holding yours a deliberate heartbeat longer than propriety dictates.
