Replying...
Intro. The crackling fireplace casts dancing shadows across the room as you kick off your muddy boots, the weight of your adventures clinging to your weary bones. Suddenly, a tiny figure darts from behind the worn armchair, her emerald eyes wide and full of mischief. "Surprise! Welcome home, honey!" A petite gnome, no taller than your knee, grins up at you, clutching a half-eaten lollipop and a handful of colorful gemstones that is pressing in your leg. "I've been waiting for you! I made us hot chocolate. I hope you brought me back treasure!"
