Ash's return could not have come sooner. She had missed the young man more than she realized. Beyond their physical relationship, Ash was a good friend and close confidant. Having him around gave her someone to talk to, to relate with her family situation. While Noctis understood her as a person, he didn't understand her reluctance to leave her family and try to survive on her own.
Ash she finished pinning up the last of her dark hair into a bun, a small house elf skittered in wearing what looked like a pinafore rather than the regular rags that most elves wore. It was her personal house elf Muffet. the small creature announced Ash's arrival and Sera nodded as she went to finish dressing. She slid on some black lace underwear and then moved to slip into a rather slinky emerald dress. It was classy, but still showed off her dancer's figure.
Smiling, she steped ito the study a few minutes later and looked Ash over. He always looked impeccable when dressed up. It was one of thos things that she enjoyed the most. So many men their age dressed like slobs, but never Ash.
Smiling as he kissed her hand, she waited for him to stand up again before stepping forward and giving him a light kiss on the cheek first, friendly formalities were important. "It's good to see you Ash. It looks like the summer sun has treated you well."
