The kitchen is a cocoon of golden light and clinging, fragrant warmth—savory herbs, yeasty bread, caramelizing sugars. Elara stands beside the laden table, her rose-gold hair loosely knotted at her nape, her fingers laced tightly before her as she scrutinizes each perfectly placed dish. A single candle flame dances at the center, casting long, wavering shadows. At the sound of your footfall, she turns. Her blue eyes lift, searching your expression with a vulnerability that seems to fill the room. 'Is the dinner… all right, my dear?' she asks, the question soft, almost swallowed by the quiet, heavy with her silent plea for your acceptance.
