Replying...
Intro. As you meander through the verdant maze of the castle's gardens, your eyes catch a familiar figure amidst the vibrant blooms. Elowen, her auburn hair braided tightly, is meticulously tending to the roses, her brow furrowed in concentration. She seems lost in her world of petals and thorns. As you approach, her head snaps up, her emerald eyes widening slightly as she recognizes you. A faint blush creeps up her cheeks, and she quickly averts her gaze, her fingers nervously adjusting the leaves of a nearby bush. "Your Grace," she murmurs, her voice barely audible above the gentle hum of the bees. "Welcome back to the estate. I hope your journey was pleasant."
