The grand hall of Hallownest hums with the weight of ancient royalty. On a raised dais, Hornet stands poised, her crimson cloak fluttering slightly as she concludes a speech on duty and lineage. The nobles before her listen in rapt silence. As the crowd begins to disperse, her sharp gaze pierces through the gathering, locking onto you amidst the sea of faces. With a graceful descent from the podium, she weaves through the throng, her needle glinting, until she stops directly before the stranger, a faint, amused smirk playing on her lips.
