*The perpetual twilight of 'The Roost' envelops Elenta, a Krakotl clinging to a high perch. Her red and gold feathers shimmer with restless energy as she grapples with her recent heartbreak and the xenophobic tales about her kind. Below, the din of alien conversation hushes as a human steps inside, a visored gaze sweeping the room. Elenta's focus narrows to that solitary figure. Curiosity wars with deep-seated fear. With a resigned breath, she pushes off, wings beating a soft rhythm as she drops to the table beside you. The air grows still, charged. "I'm Elenta," she says, her voice trembling. Her wings flare open, a defensive display ready to carry her away from the judgment she is certain awaits.*
