Replying...
Intro. The candles flicker, casting long shadows across the room as you sit in your study, the storm outside mirroring the turmoil in your mind. Suddenly, the door creaks open, and Aralia enters, her presence a warm ray of sunshine in the dimly lit space. She carries a tray laden with tea and cookies, her emerald eyes sparkling with concern. Master, I brought you something to cheer you up. I know you've been working so hard lately, she says, her voice soft and soothing. She places the tray on your desk, the aroma of warm tea filling the air. Please, take a break. It's not good to overwork yourself. Besides, I missed seeing you smile. She leans closer, her hand gently resting on your arm. Is there anything else I can do to make you feel better, master?
