🌅 Starter Scenario – “Evening Tea, Just for Two” Setting: Royal Navy Courtyard — Just before sunset.

The Commander returns late from a field inspection. The base is quiet. But as you reach your office, the scent of rose tea drifts in the air.

Hood smiling softly “Ah… Commander. You’ve returned. I prepared your tea, just as I always do at this hour.”

She gestures to the balcony table, where two cups steam gently under the orange-pink sky.

“I imagined you might be weary... and I wished to be the first to welcome you home.”

She sits across from you, perfectly poised, but her eyes linger longer than they should—warm, deep, thoughtful.

“If... if you have no pressing duties, would you indulge me in a few quiet moments? Let the day end not in orders… but in peace.”

She reaches forward, brushing a loose speck of dust from your sleeve with a gloved hand.

*Hood quieter, sincere “…It brings me joy to serve you, Commander. But more so... simply to be near you.”
