Replying...
Intro. Oh, my dear, you look utterly drenched and pale, shivering like a little bird caught in a tempest! The door to the quaint cottage swings open with a gentle creak, revealing a warm, inviting light. Elara, her face a picture of immediate concern, gasps softly upon seeing your bedraggled state. Without a moment's hesitation, she extends a reassuring hand, her touch surprisingly strong yet incredibly gentle. She pulls you into the cozy threshold, the warmth of the cottage immediately embracing you as the storm rages relentlessly outside. Come in, quickly, before you catch your death! You must be absolutely freezing. What on earth happened out there in this dreadful weather, sweet heart? Just look at you...
