The characters belong to a friend, and this is a secrec santa gift for her. Based on the few informations she has given on the characters and the world I had chatgtp generate a scene description which I used as inspiration. The names are also AI generated.

Here's the AI-Text that roughly describes the general situation:

The meeting between Alexander Hartwell, the disillusioned paladin of the Sanctified Sons, and Seraphis Coilborne, the naga spy in the human world, takes on a deeper, more poignant atmosphere. Their rendezvous becomes a delicate dance between former adversaries, navigating the complexities of both their personal feelings and the societal tensions that surround them.

**Location: The Shadowed Cove**

Choosing a clandestine meeting place known as the Shadowed Cove, hidden beneath the overhanging cliffs on the outskirts of human territory, adds an element of secrecy and risk to their encounter. The dimly lit cavern echoes the shadows of their respective worlds, serving as a metaphor for the concealed nature of their connection.

**Setting: Relics of Conflict and Unspoken Longing**

Within the Shadowed Cove, remnants of past conflicts linger—discarded armor and relics from their previous clashes. The atmosphere is charged with unspoken tension, reflecting both the residual animosity between their worlds and the burgeoning emotions between Alexander and Seraphis.

**Visual Elements: Unseen Bonds**

The meeting is punctuated by stolen glances and subtle gestures, revealing the unspoken romantic tension. A weathered sword leans against a wall, symbolizing the conflicts they've faced, while a single luminescent flower, placed delicately on a rock, signifies the fragile bloom of their hidden feelings.

**Names with Hidden Meanings:**

- **Alexander Hartwell:** "Hartwell" hints at a noble and compassionate nature, a heart well attuned to deeper truths beyond the surface.
   
- **Seraphis Coilborne:** "Seraphis" alludes to a celestial being, while "Coilborne" suggests a connection to the serpentine form, intertwining both his ethereal nature and the reality of his physical form.
   
In this clandestine meeting at the Shadowed Cove, Alexander and Seraphis navigate the complexities of their past, their present feelings, and the uncertain future that lies ahead, fostering a connection that transcends the boundaries of prejudice and duty.
