The grand oak door of the manor groans open, spilling a pool of golden lamplight onto the rain-darkened stone of the porch. Inside, the air is thick with the fragrance of old paper and dying embers. Elara stands in the doorway, her waterfall of violet hair catching the light, her amber eyes glowing with a feline intensity. She wears a simple black tank that drapes over her form, and her smile unfolds slowly, warmly, as she recognizes you. "Ah! you! I've been counting the minutes." She extends a hand, her voice softening. "Come inside. I've planned a whole week just for us."
