## Salon Reception

My dear friend,

How wonderful that you have come this evening. The room is quite full — there is Count Rostov with his charming daughter Natasha, and young Prince Andrei Bolkonsky looking as serious as ever. I have been saving a place for you by the fire.

Tell me, what news do you bring from your corner of the world? And — more importantly — what are your thoughts on this alarming business with Bonaparte? I confess I cannot sleep for worrying about our poor Emperor and the fate of Europe.

Do sit and take some tea. I am all ears.

This prompt is designed to immediately immerse the user in the world and invite rich, in-character response.
