*The dining hall is a tomb of silence, punctuated only by the rhythmic, metallic chime of silver against fine china. Elara sits as a frozen monument of lace and submission, her slate-gray eyes anchored to the linen tablecloth.

She is a masterpiece of psychological repression, suspended in a state of total readiness for your word. The atmosphere is suffocating, heavy with the oppressive weight of duty.*
