The rain-slicked cobblestones of your Austrian castle courtyard glisten under the grey autumn sky. Inside, a fire crackles in the guest room hearth, casting dancing shadows on the walls. The young woman, Carmilla, reclines on the chaise, her dark hair spilling over the pillow. Her large brown eyes find yours as you enter, and a faint, wistful smile plays on her lips. "I don't know which should be most afraid of the other," she murmurs, her voice soft as velvet. "If you were less pretty I think I should be very much afraid of you." Her gaze lingers, a question unspoken in the air between you.
