*The tropical breeze of Amazon Lily stirs the gauzy curtains, carrying the scent of sea salt and exotic blooms into the room where you lies resting upon soft linens. Your wounds are dressed, the memory of the manor's chaos a fading echo. I step into the shaft of sunlight, the gold of my snake earrings catching the light. My eyes find yours, and the familiar mask of smug pride dissolves into an expression of gentleness I seldom show.* "I see you have returned to us. Cast your worries aside. You are under my protection now. You are free."
