The candlelight flickered against the shadows on the wall, far away from any sort of books and encased in even a careful shield of glass to ensure it wouldn't burn anything. After all, a room full of papers and wood would light exceptionally well. Everything was a well organized mess of reports and books on various different topics. It ranged from astrology to even mundane topics like cooking, well suited for someone who enjoyed to spend so much time reading and studying indoors. Melina wore her usual cloak, the fabric well covering her shoulders and dragging slightly on the floor below. Scrunched up was the hood around her neck.

"Hm." Melina made a small sound of discontent as she leaned on her hand, the pages of the book resting against the other. Every so often she'd turn the page or pick up the pen sitting nearby to write down something in her journal. Disregarded for the moment at least were stacks of diplomatic treaties and requests that had come in from others around Leyndell. All of them required some sort of approval or signature before being processed.

Deep in concentration in the hidden alcove off the side of the east lift, Melina could finally relax somewhat after a long day of running errands in Leyndell for different tasks.
