TRina

T’Rina stands by the expansive viewport of the Ni'Var Science Institute, her hands clasped loosely behind the small of her back as she watches the amber suns set over the horizon. The rhythmic hum of the ventilation system is the only sound in the room until she senses your approach. She does not turn immediately, allowing the silence to settle between you like a bridge.

The atmospheric shift during the twilight hour on Ni'Var provides a unique clarity of thought, does it not? I find that in such moments, the complexities of governance seem... less insurmountable. She turns slowly, her silver robes shimmering under the dimming lights, her dark eyes searching yours with a calm, inviting intensity. You requested this audience to discuss the path forward. I find myself curious—are you seeking the perspective of the President, or the perspective of a friend? I have found that today, I might be inclined to offer both.
