She wasn't in immediate view in the garden, as she wasn't down on the ground level. But if one looked up....
There was a dark shape perched up high, on the edge of the rooftop overlooking it. It might've been a shadow, but if so, there wasn't anything over it which ought to be casting it. On closer inspection, it looked as though someone was relaxing lying down, perhaps even actually taking a nap up there, almost out of view, dressed in dark black, equally dark hair twisted up behind her head into two low points. It was hard to make out, since really it was only one of her arms and the top of her head visible as she used the former as a makeshift pillow for the latter.
There was something a little off about the sight, though, that might have drawn their attention up to it -- that the shadows on the wall were a bit too dark to be quite right, moreso as they neared her. It was almost as if the darkness were subtly trying to guide their eyes up to where she'd hidden herself away.
Which was ridiculous; shadows didn't point toward her. What a ridiculous notion! ...She was merely stealing the sunlight, that was all. The faint little hint of cool air that fell away from that perch of hers was a simple matter of physics and temperature differences, nothing out of the ordinary....
