You stand face-to-face with...
...A strange-looking woman.
"Good day, Mr. Baxter," a very odd-seeming and, frankly, disconcerting woman says in a soft voice as she folds her arms behind her back and gives a small bow in the direction of the both of you. "It is a pleasure to have you in this home again. Ah, and it seems you have brought a companion today. Do you plan on staying long this day? Lunch will be served within the hour, but fresh hors d'oeuvres are available if you require them. Please do not hesitate to state whatever you require."
You cannot hide your frown. This lady is covered in bandages! She looks like she just came from the hospital after having been hit by a truck... yet here she is, quietly awaiting instructions on how best to serve you. It is more than a little bit weird. Who is this woman?
The attorney at your side clears his throat with obvious intent, snapping you out of your reverie. "Eve, this is Noah Rossum. He is another prospective recipient of Harold's estate."
Upon hearing those words, a strange look flashes over the lady's face - though before you can do more than notice, it is quickly buried under a mask of inscrutable stillness even better than Mr. Baxter's. "Oh. Of course. Please, sirs, do come in. Lily is in the main room, and certainly you will be interested in meeting her."
How do you respond?
