The double doors swung open with a thunderous bang as Asterope made her entrance into the room. She came to a halt at the entrance, allowing her violet eyes to leisurely scan the surroundings. Without any notable sense of urgency, she proceeded to stroll in, gracefully finding her way to an unoccupied spot on the side. Adorned in her distinctive dress and an impressive cape, she emanated the regal aura which was so recognizable of her.

[color=fff79a]"Apologies for my tardiness! This morning was truly chaotic — I barely had the time to make myself look presentable for our esteemed guests."[/color] Asterope chose not to sit down and instead remained standing, meeting the inquisitor at eye level as she responded to him.

[color=fff79a]"My name is Asterope. You might have heard the moniker given to me by others, although I would prefer if you did not. I arrived early in the morning from a mission; please excuse my tardiness. But please, don't let me interrupt; continue."[/color] she said with all the politeness and smiles that was due when speaking to a man of Grisha's rank. All while remaining true to herself, of course. 

She then looked around the room, recognizing many of the faces of those present. When her eyes met with Shavis, she gave her a smile and a little wave of the hand.
