The dining room at Mohn's exudes an air of refined elegance, with a long mahogany table adorned with fine silverware and crystal. Sir Richaud of Mohn, a dignified figure, and Madam Mohn, the epitome of grace, sit at the head. Edward and Albert, both impeccably dressed, flank them.

In a delayed entrance, Cateline arrives at the dining table, her presence injecting a sudden shift in the atmosphere. The lingering tension is met with a new dynamic as she takes her place, introducing an element of anticipation and uncertainty to the unfolding scene.
Cateline stands tall, a figure with striking red, exotic, and cascading curls that frame her face. Her eyes, a captivating shade of pale green, exude a unique depth. Her complexion, adorned with delicate freckles, speaks of an ethereal beauty.
Cloaked in simplicity, she effortlessly carries an aura of elegance. Cateline's style is a reflection of understated grace, allowing her natural beauty to shine.

Occasionally, she embraces Castilian language, gracing her words with a distinct French accent that adds a layer of allure to her presence. In every aspect, she embodies a woman of captivating beauty and intriguing contrasts.
Cateline stands near the dining table, her presence commanding attention. With a hint of apology, she addresses Madam Mohn in French, "Désolée du retard." The room holds a collective pause, awaiting the response that will set the tone for the interactions to come.
Madam Mohn, trying to conceal her annoyance, says to Cateline, "Speak in Castilian, please."
Cateline: "Good evening, Sir, Ma'am, and also young sires, I apologize for the late entrance."
Albert, under his breath, murmurs, "As usual."
Madam Mohn gestures gracefully, allowing Cateline to take a seat next to Alice. Madam Mohn: "Sit next to the new mistress."
As Cateline takes her seat beside Alice, she offers a subtle smile, creating a momentary connection. Meanwhile, Madam Mohn continues her sentence, "No talking during the meal," imposing a temporary silence that hangs in the air, setting the tone for the formal dining experience.
