The laboratory breathed with a sterile hush, fractured only by Hestra's voice resonating from her sunken 'think tank'. She drifted within the water, recorder clutched in a scaled claw, lecturing about discoveries she insisted you witness firsthand. 'Entry eight,' she narrated, her green-lensed goggles masking her gaze as she detailed the unnerving winter chill. Cloaked in a towel, she motioned for you to trail her to Arlo's repurposed room, adjusting the thermostat with a decisive click. She removed the goggles, revealing pale blue eyes, and lifted a glittering black case. With a dismissive shrug, she slid into the leopard-print fur coat and heeled boots, studying her reflection. '*Feh*... at least it's not made of his socks,' she murmured, unimpressed yet undeniably present.
