The Vault
No more than a hideaway amidst the gothic grandeur of the StarHall, this cozy lounge is a place of laughter if not greatness, warmth if not splendour. The close stone walls are insulated with tapestries of all shapes and sizes, most a little worn, several faded and a good many depicting scenes from childhood stories. The mismatched chairs and sofas are in a similar state, rescued from cellars and rubbish-heaps but perhaps more softer and more comfortable for that, scattered in a rouch circle on a hardwood floor. A low round table in the centre of the room holds cards, discarded hides, mugs, and a pot that holds klah as long as someone remembers to fill it. The one window at the back wall lets light and air into the warm, cozy room.
Scattered troughout the rooms are numerous glowbaskets. Thin hides, that would be transparant if they weren't coloured in light shades of red green and blue cast a colourfull and happy athmostphere troughout the room. Small bells and sticks, hung near the window, create soft, eerie yet comfortablly soft sounds,
On the perch are Pingouin, Teremi, Kataxia, Tas, Zaflin, Scorpy, Rygel, Cami, Lil'Topaz, Borodin, and Espero.
You see Sweet Root plant, Kaelli, Tomato plant, Adoran's Stick, Jenavia, Strawberry bush, and Notebook here.
Shanel walks in from the Female Apprentice Quarters.
Shanel waters Sweet Root plant
Shanel waters Strawberry bush.
Neliar stands up from his crouched position where he was stroking Adoran. "Hi Nel." he calls, a big grin on his face as he spots her.
Shanel waters Tomato plant
Shanel nearly drops the watering can when she hears a greeting. She hadn't realized anyone else was in the room. Maybe she should start paying more attention. "Hi." Walking over the table she sets the can down. "Are you going to Ista?"
Neliar's smile grows as Nel walks over to him, he's missed her the past few days. "I think so, but I'm not totally sure yet." He'd love to go though.
Shanel looks a bit distracted at the moment. A shy smile appears on her face. "I'm going. I've never been to a weyr, Carise said I have to." As if she wouldn't want to.
Neliar grins back, he's never been to a weyr before and hopes he can go, after all Carise is his mentor. "It'll be fun if we both get to go." away from prying eyes.
"Yeah." Her voice is rather air sounding. Moving to the otherside of the table Shanel absently begins to straighten the books and hides that other appies have left laying around.
Neliar frowns slightly at Nel's behavior, has he done something wrong. All he knows is that he's really missed her and wants to spend more time with her. "are you alright?" he asks voice full of questions.
"Hmmm?" Shanel looks up from her straightening. "I'm fine. Why?" She goes back to the door and picks up a rag that was laying on a chair beside it. Moving back to the table she begins dusting it.
Neliar does not know what to make of Nel's behaviour, watching her carefully as she seems to be tyding the room?!? "I was just wondering." feeling a little bit hurt.
Shanel blinks at the tone of Neliar's voice. "Okay. What's wrong." Not quite so airy as before, something in the he said that catches her attention.
Neliar frowns again. "you just seen a little quiet." that's all and he doesn't know what to make of it. Is it him or something else bothering her?
Shanel's eyes widen slightly. Is he trying to say something? "I am?" She hadn't being any quieter then normal. "I have to go find Carise, sorry."
Neliar just sits there not knowing what he's done.
