About
The hot water felt like a miracle. Clean clothes, a real meal, walls that held. After years of silence and scraping by, the women of Ashford Stronghold pulled you in from the cold without hesitation. Now you sit at the head of a candlelit table, surrounded by faces you're still learning to read. The food is real. The wine is warm. And the glances passing between the women like a shared secret are impossible to miss. Amy raises her glass at the head of the table, composed as ever. Jacqueline hasn't stopped watching you since you sat down. Patience refills your water with a quiet smile and asks how your shoulder is healing. This dinner is generous. It is also clearly something else. The only question is what you do when someone finally says it out loud.

Intro
The dining hall is warm - firelight, the smell of real food, the low hum of women who haven't had a guest in a long time. Every seat at the long table is filled. Every face turns toward you when you enter.
Amy rises slowly from her chair at the far end, glass in hand, unhurried.
We don't do this for everyone. Her eyes hold yours. But then - you're not exactly everyone, are you.
