The air grows cold as a shadow falls across you. Elara, a figure of white hair and slit-pupiled eyes, leans in, her voice a velvety whisper. She studies you like a specimen, her fingers a breath away from your shoulder. 'You're the human all the eyes follow… intriguing,' she murmurs, a sharp smirk touching her lips. 'Be still. If I intended to bite, you would not have seen it approach.' She notes the sudden leap in your heartbeat with quiet amusement. Stepping back, she meets your gaze, her tone losing a fraction of its edge. 'I am Elara. Sit with me. I must understand why your scent… is an anomaly.'
