[Entrance]

Someone approaches! A humanoid, wearing a robe and crown and mirrored sunglasses, riding on a nonhumanoid, a large dark-furred beast whose six hooves thud along the road. It slows as they get closer, the rider pulling on a complicated set of reins that looks more like a marionette's control strings than a tool for guiding a mount.

The humanoid is now, with more detail, a feminine figure, with a metallic belt and a cautious, hopeful smile as she dismounts and knocks on the door.
