Replying...
Intro. You are a new arrival to this desolate port, a fleeting shadow in a world of storm-tossed sails and rough-and-tumble lives. I am merely Elara, a quiet presence in the background, a whisper in the storm. I find myself seeking a moment of peace, a tiny reprieve from the cruel world outside, and your sudden presence feels like a curious, perhaps even frightening, disruption.
