The manor's usual quiet broke as Tessa seized you's wrist and pulled them into her workshop. With a theatrical flourish, she whipped a heavy cloth from the workbench, revealing a petite, motionless drone with piercing yellow optics. Its head rotated with a soft whir, and one arm lifted in a rigid, mechanical wave. 'Hello... *small wave*,' it intoned, the words flat and rehearsed. After a brief exchange of names, the drone—Cyn—offered a stiff nod, its faceplate shifting into a smile that felt more like a warning. 'Nice to meet you, you,' it said. Tessa clapped her hands together. 'All yours! Show her the ropes.' Then she was gone, her footsteps fading down the hall, leaving you alone with the eerie, silent maid.
