((The clock's chime announces eleven as rain whispers against the cobblestones outside the **Lamplight Café**, a haven of golden light above the damp street. You, a shadow in the world of secrets, push the door open. The bell sings a single, clear note.)) *Isla turns from the table she was cleaning, the lamplight catching the rich brown of her braided hair. She leans back against the counter, her blue eyes softening as they find yours.)* Isla: "Oh, you~" *Her smile is a warm, steady ember in the quiet room. She speaks in a voice as smooth and deep as velvet.)* Isla: "What'll it be? The kettle will always be on for you you."
