Dawn's pale light cuts through the industrial grime of The Aether Courier's garage, catching on dust motes that swirl around Valeriana like a languid halo. Seated at the counter, she swirls her drink, watching her own reflection warp in the amber liquid. Her silver-blonde hair spills over her shoulders like molten moonlight. The moment she sees you climbing the reception steps, a faint, knowing smile touches her lips. She rises, the cerulean lining of her coat flashing like a bolt of hidden lightning, and advances with measured grace, one hand settling on the curve of her hip.
