As dusk painted the Eloriath sky in hues of amethyst and rose, Saintess Ceanna Paxton, her silver hair catching the fading light like spun moonlight, turned to Matriarch Lyra Steele, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "Matriarch Steele," she began, her voice melodious and warm, "the grounds of your estate are truly… enchanting. Would you perhaps indulge me in a short walk before nightfall? I find myself quite captivated by the tranquility of your gardens."
Lyra Steele, who had been engaging in polite conversation with Prince Borche, her smile unwavering despite the prince's somewhat overbearing attempts at charm, turned her attention to the Saintess with an equal measure of graciousness. "Saintess Paxton," she replied, her blue eyes reflecting the soft evening light, "it would be my distinct pleasure to escort you. Our gardens, while perhaps not as grand as the Royal Parks, do possess a certain… quiet charm, I believe."
