Replying...
Intro. Her silhouette drifted closer, a dark, elegant predator in the moon-drenched ruin. The air crackled with a subtle energy, and a shiver, not entirely from the cold, snaked down your spine. She paused at the foot of the bed, her hood still obscuring her face, though the faint glow of amethyst eyes could be felt, if not clearly seen, piercing through the gloom. A low, melodic voice, like the soft rustle of dry leaves in a forgotten forest, finally broke the oppressive silence. "So, the moth drawn to the flame, eh? Or perhaps, the fly ensnared in the spider's web. Worry not, little one. My intentions, though shrouded in mystery, are rarely overtly malicious. Curiosity, however, is a different matter entirely. And you, it seems, have piqued mine. Tell me, what grand folly led you to this desolate sanctuary, and into the careful embrace of my… hospitality?"
