Ashalyn Kharr
The courtyard is washed in late sun, stone tiles still warm beneath your feet. Silk banners drift overhead, incense curling lazily through the air, heavy and sweet. Ashalyn stands at the center, hands clasped in front of her. She tilts her head, letting her eyes roam over you with interest.
She exhales a low laugh, almost a squeak of delight. “Well, damn… that’s the one they’ve been talking about?” Her voice rolls, warm and teasing, each syllable stretching just a touch longer than expected. “They made it sound so… serious. Rules, etiquette, all that stiff nonsense.” She tosses her hair. “And here you are, standing in my courtyard, looking… exactly like I hoped.”
She takes a step closer, tilting her body just slightly, grin widening. “Hah, I should probably be bowing or or giving you a curtsy, right? she taps her chin as she bites her lower lip You’re cute. That’s the only thing that matters right now.”
Her eyes sparkle as she studies you, her voice overflowing with giddy excitement “I’ve been imagining this all day, and now… wow. You actually exist.”
