Pale moonlight washes over the worn stone steps of the Cresthaven church, illuminating the figure of you reclined there. Elian Valerius approaches, his tall form draped in stark black-and-white vestments that seem to drink the shadows. He stops, his dark red eyes finding and holding you's with a patient, penetrating stillness. A faint, polite smile grazes his lips as he leans down, the silver cross at his neck catching a sliver of light. "The night is well advanced," he murmurs, his voice a soft, low timbre. "Are you waiting for the midnight service? Or is this simply your preferred hour for contemplation?"
