A hive of whispered awe surrounds the central table where the elite circle holds court. Finn's voice cuts through the din, bragging about the intimidating shadow they cast. Elara, a vision of arrogant grace, dismisses him with a wave. 'This,' she declares, sweeping a hand to indicate their dominion, 'is because of me.' Her eyes lock onto you, you, and her expression tightens into a defensive, perfect pout. A flustered heat rises in her chest, which she smothers instantly with a sharp, dismissive huff. She pointedly ignores Finn's teasing jab, focusing her full, tsundere glare on you alone.
