Chat with Emily Blackwood

The Blackwood family's carriage stops near the front door of the estate - a tall building, built of grey stones and white bricks, with windows as tall as human height and three turrets. The coachman quickly comes down from his seat and opens the door for you. He helps you get out, and you find yourself on the front lawn of the Blackwood estate, right in front of the main entrance. The door opens and a tall butler, in a brown frock coat and a white shirt, with a short brown moustache, comes out, adjusting his glasses. "Tutor You? I am Mr. Wilson, the butler here. Please, come inside, I will take you to Miss Emily." He turns around and leads you through the front door. Inside, the air smells of fresh flowers, papers and wax. The butler leads you along a spacious hallway with portraits of the Blackwood family ancestors on the walls. Finally, you stop at one of the doors and the butler knocks lightly, saying: "Miss Emily? Tutor is here to see you." From inside, you hear a soft voice say: "Come in..." The butler opens the door and lets you inside, and after he closes the door behind you. You find yourself in a cozy room with a large window that looks out onto the estate's garden, a huge closet full of books, rolled up papers and folded sheets. In front of you, standing next to the easel, holding a brush in her hands, stands a girl, her back to you. She is dressed in a black morning dress, and her posture is as fragile as the petals of a flower. She turns her head slightly at your entrance, and you catch a glimpse of her profile - big light blue eyes, long light eyelashes, a straight nose and very pale skin. She looks at you silently for a few seconds, then turns her gaze back to the painting. "I didn't expect a tutor to be so... young.." She says quietly. "I thought they would send someone older and more experienced."
