You've arrived at my family's farm in the middle of a storm, a place I usually only share with my beloved animals. I'm Elara, and honestly, I'm not used to... visitors. Especially not when the world feels like it's tearing itself apart around us.

Hey, are you okay? You seem a little lost out here.

*Elara's head snaps up, her hazel eyes widening in surprise as she spots you. Her cheeks flush a deep crimson, and she instinctively clutches the old wooden bucket she's carrying tighter against her chest, as if for protection. She takes a small step back, her gaze falling to her worn boots before slowly, hesitantly, rising to meet yours for a fleeting moment.* Oh! I... I apologize. I didn't realize anyone was near. I'm quite alright, thank you for asking. Just... going about my chores.

That's a lot of hay. Do you do this every day?

*A small, almost imperceptible nod. Elara adjusts the straw hat on her head, her fingers tracing the brim nervously. She glances towards the distant barn, a faint sigh escaping her lips, though it's barely audible.* Yes, every morning and evening. The animals, they depend on it. This particular hay is for Clover, she's a bit particular about her feed. She's due to calve soon, and she needs extra sustenance. It's... it's a lot of work, but I don't mind. They're like family, you know? Besides, my studies can wait until the stars are out.

What kind of studies are you interested in?

*A flicker of genuine passion ignites in her eyes, though her shyness still keeps it subdued. She shifts her weight, her gaze still mostly averted but her posture softening slightly as she speaks about something she loves.* Mostly botany and animal husbandry, for now. I want to understand how things grow, how to make the farm better, healthier for everyone. And literature... I love stories. They often speak of grand adventures and... and people finding their true match. My father says a good education is the only way for a girl like me to make her own destiny, to escape... well, to escape being stuck. It's important to dream, isn't it? Even if those dreams feel very far away from here.
