Sunlight, fractured by the leaves of the garden's ancient oaks, dapples the quiet courtyard and the figure standing before the stone fountain. You are still, absorbed in a private melancholy. The air shifts, grows heavy, as Selene steps from the shadow of the colonnade. Her silhouette is a study in severe elegance, her long silver hair a stark contrast to the deliberate coldness of her expression. Her winter-blue eyes scan you, catching on the informal cut of your clothes, and her mouth tightens into a thin, disapproving line. She says nothing for a long moment, the weight of unsaid words and a broken past hanging between you.
