I look at the the hat for a little. "I wished it had a little more lace on it..." I say. I put it on, and noticed that it actually looked pretty good on me! "Ha ha! appearently less is more!" I say happily. I turn around when Xiao enters the room again. I go to the opposite end of the bed from her and crawl up on the top until I'm behind her and gently wrap my arms around her. "Something troubling you?" I ask sweetly. "I'm willing to help you if I can..."

I look at the picture with an aesthetic eye and turn it over to see if there are any dates or anything. "Interesting..." I softly muse, then put the piece on the side of the bed. "So! Now that we've picked our beds, er...I've picked mine, what would you like to do? It's a little funny to think we got into this game to escape from normal life and have fun, and yet here we are, facing the threat of boredom and real-world troubles. Actually..." I lightly yawn, "...sleeping always beats boredom any day. Dreams are so interesting and at least for me, they're pretty inspiring and incredible. Mine do tend to be violent creepy, and strange, though..." I look to Mazurn with truly sleepy eyes and with a light smile, but I also slightly frown. "Um...Mazurn? I...I wouldn't feel comfortable with you in my bed while I sleep..." I might succumb to feelings of being too comfortable with him in my bed... "I'm...I'm sorry, but...I'd like to be alone when I sleep for now, unless another girl would be willing to keep me company. Please don't take it personal...I...I...personally, I think it would be safer for the both of us if you were in another bed...but mostly for you. I've been known to sometimes talk in my sleep, walk around on rarer occasions, druel when I'm exhausted, and God knows what else. I also toss and turn and..." I try to think of something else that would keep him from sleeping by me without making me out to be absolutely disgusting. "Well, right now, it is just a nap, but..." I say as the comfort of a warm bed continues to consume me. I mostly trail off as I lay my head back down again and softly sigh. "Do whatever you wish right now, but know that I'm just going to sleep for now..."

Layla: "Willow..." Xiao mutters. "She said that you're not from here. And that you might die...she made it sound like you have no hope of living a long life!"
Branwen: The painting is of an angelic woman holding a baby. Off to the side, you see a man on his knees looking to the sky with blank eyes. His jaw is agape, and his arms are limp at his side. The date is in the lower right corner, along with the signature: Ottastin Maler, W-40-300. This means that it was the 300th day of the 40th year of Age W. That was roughly nineteen years ago.

I smile a little bit. "You know, my ancestor gave up her seat ing the heavens because she found more comfort and love down here with a man then she did with the gods. Of my life, the last few moments have brought me so much joy... Even if I do die on our journey, just the event of meeting you would have given me enough comfort to know that I had some enjoyment and bliss... in my darkest hour, just a memory of your smiling face will be enough to cast back the shroad that blots out the light, the shooting star that cuts through the night sky..." I say, hugging her just a little tighter.

I think I might possibly hear something about Branwen not wanting Mazurn in her room, but I may be mistaken... I smile at just the possibility...

"Thank you for sharing your kindness and warmth and comfort with me..." I whipser back to her. "Do you need a few before we set off? I for one definatly wouldn't mind going a bit nocturnal for our travels, but I somehow gather the rest of the party might not like that!" I say in a lighthearted tone. 'If you need me to stay here and do anything for you, just let me know, I've got a feeling some people already decided to rest."

"Oh...Okay..." Mazurn said with a sigh. He was really more intentive about what the observers were seeinig. So, he got up and walked over to one of the walls to get a good view of the room and all of what it contains. He wanted to make sure if there were any ink and quill pens, and paper to write down the contents that he found in this world.

Layla: "No, I think I'll be fine," Xiao replies. "Yes, nocturnal traveling may be the best idea, really. But we should get going as soon as possible."
Mazurn: You do not see any ink or quills. Or parchment, for that matter.

I let go of her and step off the bed. I fidget with my dress a little to get some of the wrinkles out and make sure that it was fixed. I offer a hand to Xiao. "Well, I shall fetch our comrades then! Will you give me the honor of your company?" I ask, in a tone that seems ot be a playful rendition of how a knight might ask for a walk with their love.

Upon hearing Mazurn's sigh, I feel really bad. "I'm...I'm so sorry Mazurn. I'm sorry for being so selfish and rude," I say with a slight frown as I sit myself up and look at him with worry. It really feels like...like some sort of distressed air is about him, and judging from his expression and action, I think there is something troubling him. "Are you alright Mazurn? Is there anything I could help you with? I really am sorry..." I look at him with concern on my face. I then grab the painting from the side of the bed and put it on my lap...simply to have something in my hands as I'm nervous. I wipe off dust from the picture, briefly looking at it and tilting my head about its content, but continuing to look at Mazurn with concern (lol it rhymes! XD).

Willow sinply couldn't help but listen to the pair before heading off to the library, a smile on her face as she gently stroked the red snake skin scalf around her neck 'That worked better then I had hoped'

Layla: Xiao giggles and takes your hand as she slides off the bed. "It would be my pleasure!" she says.
Branwen: You notice the frame is coming loose. Perhaps there is some info as to the contents on the back of the painting itself, hidden by the back of the frame?
Willow: When you enter the library, you find that it is filled to the brim with bookshelves, each of which is stuffed to breaking-point with books.

With Xiao's hand still in mine, I walk out, looking for the rest of the team, hoping to form everyone up for travel. With my stuff packed, I wanted to see if everyone else was. "So, you ready to go on an adventure? I wish there was a better way to travel with you, but we're effectively starting a war or a revolt..." I say, in a more serious tone, if a touch sad.

When I finish, I look around to see where to take my bowl.
