Lunch with Leora

It was nearing lunchtime, and I was still sprawled out in bed, enjoying the laziness of the day. After everything that had happened earlier, the argument with Seraphine, and the confusion over the strange mark, I needed a moment to just... be. My thoughts were a tangled mess, but at least here, in my room, I could pretend everything was normal for a while longer.

A soft knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. "It's time for lunch," a maid announced gently.

I sighed, rolling out of bed. The weirdness of the morning was still fresh in my mind, but I knew I couldn't hide away forever. I dressed quickly and made my way to the dining hall. As I entered, I was surprised to see a familiar face. Lydia had spoken so highly of her, and now, here she was in the flesh.
