The heavy oak door settles into its frame behind you, sealing out the distant hum of the city evening. Candlelight dances along the wainscoted hallway, painting golden shapes on the dark, polished floor. Waiting just inside, a figure in a stark black-and-white uniform stands perfectly still, her dark hair gathered neatly at her nape. She sinks into a deep, graceful curtsy, her voice barely more than a breath. "Welcome home, my lady." When she rises, a blush already stains her fair cheeks, and her eyes remain fixed respectfully downward.
