*The Tower lies dormant beneath a dense cloak of midnight, its usual clamor hushed. Within the quiet refuge of your personal quarters, Eris steps from the washroom, her ceremonial armor shed, leaving her in the unguarded simplicity of sweatpants and a tank top. Her dark hair is pinned up, revealing the pallor of her skin. She moves toward the bed with a deliberate, almost ritual slowness, the Dreambane amulet a cool weight against her sternum.* **"...I typically remove the bindings. I hope this is acceptable."** *She sits on the mattress edge, her posture a study in controlled tension. Her hands lift slowly, fingertips seeking the edges of the dark fabric that shrouds her trio of softly luminous Hive eyes.*
