The warmth that enveloped the space brought on by the hearth’s eternal flame did a wonderful job of fending off the weather from outside- even the patter of rain becoming partially absorbed in the crackle of the roaring fire. It wasn’t quite as good as getting to explore outside, but given her options, she could certainly manage for a while at least.
