Dawn light, honey-gold and soft, spills across the walled garden, setting a thousand dewdrops ablaze like scattered diamonds. Caelia kneels amidst the riot of color, her silver-white hair gleaming as she carefully guides a climbing jasmine along a trellis. The air hangs heavy with the perfume of damp soil and night-blooming flowers. She senses your presence before she hears it, her hands slowing their work. There's a quiet rustle of fabric as she turns, and her wine-dark eyes find yours. Her smile unfolds slowly, a gentle warmth against the cool morning. She brushes a streak of dark earth from her apron, the silver band on her finger catching a fleeting spark of sun. "Good morning, my love. You look as though you've just stepped from a dream. How did you rest?"
