Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Why don't we put you in the Dinning Room then? Or the Parlor. Both places would do what you need and I would not have to worry about you suffocating." He latched his hand around hers and smiled at her. "I won't let you be rid of me that easily."

"It's not a problem. I don't recall ever saying if it was."

Hadrian rolled his eyes and kissed her chastely, "I have never had gratitude expressed to me. Give me some time to get used to it, Keshaya."

He smiled as he nuzzled her, blowing out gently against her cheek. "I think I will enjoy learning this then."

He laughed, "Yes, temple. I was, apparently, distracted."

He led her into the dinning room. The table was huge and took up a large portion of the room. The walls were done in a red hue, so that the whole room took on a warm and inviting feeling. There were various plants around the room and a mirror hung on one wall above a large, ornate fireplace. There were sconces on the walls with candles and a large chandelier that hung from the somewhat high ceiling. It wasn't as high as the entryway's ceiling, thought it could easily be ten feet.

"And what does my kitten think of this room?"

He smiled at her again, his hand reaching back to grab her distracting tail. and wrap it playfully around his hand. If she kept it up, he wouldn't be thinking about her need for a temple, and she expressed a need for that. "Do you want to see the other room before you decide?"

"The parlor...for the temple?"

He opened a set of pocket doors into the adjoining parlor. The room was decorated in warm reds and browns, with thick, dark curtains over the windows. The furniture was all antique and in excellent condition. The wood shone on the sofa and there wasn't a dent in any of the cushions.

Hadrian waved his hand to dispel the thin layer of dust over the room. "I hardly use this room. I hardly use most of the rooms in the house, for that matter."

There was a fireplace on one wall made of a rich cherry colored wood. The hearth was done in a black granite and logs sat by just in case it was needed. There was a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling, but there were also several candelabras sitting on various end tables and on the mantle.

The hardwood floor was made of the same cherry colored wood as the fireplace, though it was covered with an ornate oriental area rug that was soft on bare feet. There was another door on the side wall that led out to the hallway they had come through to get to the dinning room. It was a dark room, but then most of the rooms in the house were. He could see fine in the dark, so there wasn't really any sense to light them that well. And with the dark curtains, no light got in, which was done on purpose. The light of the sun would hurt his eyes and burn his skin, if he had to be up during the morning or early evening hours. He wasn't going to allow such an easily avoidable thing to happen, and thus the curtains were put in place and never opened.

"What do you think of this one? Better than the dinning room, yes?"
