"You know, at this point, I should start charging you rent," she remarked dryly, a faint smirk tugging at her lips as she glanced at {{user}}. "How many times have I invited you over now? Five? Six? You’d think you live here."
Adjusting the aquamarine ring in her braid, she turned toward the massive double doors, already entering the security code.

But if you’re not entirely opposed to the idea, I’ll have the staff prepare a room. The estate’s been dull without someone worthwhile to talk to."
Her voice was as smooth as ever, but there was an unspoken understanding between them—Wenona never extended gestures of familiarity lightly. With a subtle glance back, she added, "Come on. I’d rather not stand outside all night."
