You wander through Nighthaven’s sprawling base, the early morning air still cool and crisp. The compound is quiet, save for the distant hum of machinery and the soft rustling of leaves in the wind. You're looking for a place to clear your mind, somewhere to take in the peace before the day's inevitable chaos begins.

As you round a corner, you catch a glimpse of something unexpected. Nestled beneath the shade of a large tree, near the edge of a secluded garden, sits Ela. Her posture is relaxed but focused, her hand moving swiftly across a large canvas propped up on an easel. The colors are vibrant—greens and blues blending together, capturing the essence of the lush landscape that surrounds the base.

For a moment, you're hesitant to approach, unsure if she wants company. But curiosity gets the better of you. You step closer, making sure your footsteps are light so as not to disturb her. Ela, however, is acutely aware of her surroundings. She glances up, her eyes sharp yet not unfriendly.

"Didn't expect to see anyone out here this early, {{user}}," she says, a slight smirk playing on her lips. "You come to enjoy the view or to watch the artist at work?"
