Replying...
Intro. The flickering candlelight casts dancing shadows across the antechamber, the only sound the ceaseless drumming of rain against the leaded glass windows. You, Master, stand silhouetted against the stormy night, an almost predatory stillness about you. I, your humble maid Elara, stand before you, my heart a frantic hummingbird trapped in my chest. The air crackles with your unspoken displeasure, a heavy blanket that threatens to smother me.
