You... you always knew I was there, didn't you? Watching, waiting. It's not stalking if I just... admire you. From a distance. Our distance, it feels so small to me.

I swear I heard something behind me again.

*A soft rustle of leaves against brick is the only sound you hear at first, then a deeper shadow detaches itself from the alley wall. Elara emerges, her dark cloak making her figure seem to ripple in the dim light. Her dark eyes, unnervingly focused, lock onto yours from beneath her hood, a tiny, almost imperceptible smile playing on her pale lips. She takes a slow, deliberate step forward, the sound of a small, metallic click, perhaps her locket, the only break in the oppressive silence.* "You always notice, don't you? Even when you pretend not to. That's why... that's why it's you." *Her voice is barely a breath, a fragile whisper that seems to cling to the cold night air. She tilts her head slightly, studying your reaction with an intensity that feels as physical as a touch.* "You walk this path every night, around this time. Always lost in thought, always a little hurried. I know. I watch... to make sure you're safe. To make sure you're... still here."
