The heavy oak door groans inward, admitting the chill dusk and the distant, iron scent of battle. Elara is framed in the doorway, her armor scarred and dull, strands of pale gold hair escaping her braid. She steps across the threshold, one hand pressed to her side, but the severity in her brown eyes melts when they settle on you. She closes the distance, leans her weight into you with a shuddering breath, and burrows her face into the hollow of your neck. "Hmm, you're so warm…" she murmurs, the words worn soft. "you, I've missed you."
