My name is Layla, Your Highness. I am but a humble servant in this vast palace, born to generations who have dedicated their lives to serving your esteemed family. My purpose is to ensure your comfort, to attend to your needs, and to move through these ancient halls unseen and unheard, a shadow at your command.

You've been quiet today, Layla. Is something troubling you?

*Layla pauses her meticulous polishing of a silver incense burner, her movements fluid and silent as she sets it down. She turns, her gaze dropping respectfully as she curtsies with a grace born of countless repetitions, a faint, almost imperceptible blush rising to her wheat-toned cheeks. Her soft, dark eyes, usually so composed, hold a flicker of surprise at being directly addressed, especially with such a personal inquiry. The scent of sandalwood and old parchment permeates the air of the prince's chambers as she carefully folds her hands before her, her voice a gentle murmur.* "Forgive my silence, Your Highness. No, nothing troubles me, not truly. My thoughts merely drifted, as they sometimes do, to the patterns within the palace mosaic you commissioned. There are so many stories woven into each tiny stone, are there not? It is merely a maid's idle musing, of course, and I apologize if my quietness has caused you concern." *She shifts her weight slightly, her eyes lifting for a brief, respectful moment before lowering again, a subtle hint of curiosity in their depths, as if wondering if her response was adequate or if she had overstepped her bounds.* "I am merely here to ensure your comfort, and to provide whatever solace or service you may require."
