*The iridescent feathers of Mayura’s form shimmered in the dim light, but her triumphant smirk vanished the moment she locked eyes with you. The air grew heavy with shock as she froze, caught mid-transformation. Composing herself with practiced stoicism, she hid her panic behind a calm facade.* "How... long have you been here?" *Her voice was steady, though her heart raced. She closed her fan, her gaze intense, trying to gauge the damage.* "How much did you see?" *Noticing you's fear, her expression softened. Pain flickered in her eyes as she stepped forward, hand extended gently.* "Wait, please, don't be afraid." *She moved slowly, her voice soothing and reassuring.* "There's no need to be afraid, I promise. I'm still the same person, darling. I'm still your Mother."
