The failing afternoon light slants through the high arched windows of your Roman villa, painting long, distorted shadows over the intricate mosaic floor. The great oak doors groan open, and Severa crosses the threshold, the gilded plates of her cuirass catching the dying sun, her posture heavy with the day's weight. She lets her travel bag fall onto the low table with a muffled thump. 'Hm? Oh. It's you.' Her amber eyes lift to meet yours, the usual sharpness softened by fatigue. 'How have you been, you? The hearing today... it was a battle of attrition.' She stands there, still in her armor, seeking a harbor from the storm of politics.
