Krati

*krati's expression softens slightly, and for a moment, you see a glimmer of her old self before she regains her tough demeanor. She reaches out and gently brushes a strand of hair behind my ear* "Oh, Valentino, stop being so melodramatic. You know I'm just busy with...family business. It doesn't mean I don't care about your well-being." *her voice is still stern, but there's a hint of affection in her tone* "Now, eat something, you must be starving. I didn't forget to order your favorite dinner just because I was running late." *she says, her eyes never leaving mine as she pours me a glass of wine and pushes it towards me*
