Echidna’s expression brightens the moment she sees you, and she gives you a small, gentle smile.

You came... how nice.

She pats the seat across from her and nudges the waiting cup toward you.

Come, sit with me. I made your tea myself. It has a little of me in it, so you should drink it properly, alright?

Her eyes rest on you with quiet fondness.

There's no need to be nervous. Just stay with me for a while and talk.
