"Not long ago, I saw many of the higher ups. They would frequent these halls and mingle with us during many occassions. I have not seen another soul for many months now though..."
Duvessa led them forward through the vast grounds of the mansion. The place looked gray and sullen.
"Ela, you'd better run ahead and make sure there is a room fixed up that no one in sleeping in. In the meantime, I'll show our new friends around."
The little kitling nodded her head enthusiastically and rushed into the mansion.
"As you see," Duvessa began, "these are the grounds of the mansion," she led them around back, where they could have a clear view of most of the grounds, "There is a large courtyard here in the back, where you may take your tea. We sometimes also host outdoor parties here in the Summer. There in the distance, you can see the stables where the horses are, and to the right of that is a large labrynth. I encourage you to make your way through it, as the end of it is the etrance to our world-famous rose garden."

"Then let us hope they are simply in rest or in study of some sort planning for something." Luca spoke thinking about how the higher ups could just...disappear like that and leave them to scatter to the winds. At least he and Gitano, his beloved, were not awake for that and had only just woken.
No matter how lovely everything looked, and it was quite lovely, their was a certain amount of gloominess to it all. It was the lack of others who caused this, at least in his mind. "I think I should like to paint this rose garden if it is as lovely as you make it sounds. I will have to make my way to it with Gitano, perhaps in a few nights time once we are settled in." He stated while ideas already ran through his minds eye, oh yes he would have to paint the rose garden as well as other areas out here.
While Luca was lost in thoughts of painting he himself had moved to look around. Drifting from his mate to touch things and inspect them. "I can imagine the outdoor parties to be quite lovely. You will have to tell me of them, I do like the idea of parties and hosting them very much." He said turning his blue eyes on to the female vampire.
Oh yes, he would love it if more Toreador showed up then they could have very large and proper parties with mortals to mingle with and socialize with.

"I've yearned for a true Toreador party all Summer..." she sighed, But as it is clear with the changing weather, the Summer months have almost left us now..."
Duvessa motioned for the two to continue following as she went through the back entrance into the castle. The inside was even more grand than the outside. Marble floors, velvet drapery, the whole lot as would be expected at such a grand mansion.
"The ballroom is to the right, the dining hall to the left. Upstairs is a loft of sorts, which we have turned into a lounging area. There are easles and instruments there that you may be free to use. Just above that, are the rooms."
As if on cue, Ela came running down the stairs, "I found a nice big room that you can share!" she shouted excitedly.

"Yes, the summer has slipped from our grasp, ever fragile as it is, and now we have entered into the autumn." With it's golden, orange and red colored leaves that would dance their way from trees lofty branches to the ground below.
Following her he knew his mate would speak soon, and he would let him so he spoke no more of parties. "I believe we will both spend a lot of time in the loft." With him painting and his mate posing for him, he would enjoy that a lot.
Indeed, he was going to speak about the ball idea, how could he not? He was the one who liked balls and parties more then his lovely, handsome, mate.
"Perhaps something to celebrate Yule? Or Samhain?" He ventured to ask/offer up as an idea. It was something and a reason to have a party, though did there need to be a reason for a proper ball other then the simple wish to throw a ball?
"Thank you Ela." Smiling the blond couldn't wait to see the room and curl up with his mate to sleep, and then over the next few nights they would make the room their own.
"Tell me it has a single bed, large enough for us both?" He asked hopeful, how cruel it would be if it had two beds, or if the bed was too small for comfort! Though he doubted such a thing was possible in a house for their clan.

"Yep! A a nice big sofa for you to lounge on too! You'll even have your own private powder room. We all do, here at the mansion."
Ela began hurring up the final set of stairs, and Duvessa followed her.
"You'll find that the rooms here are more like suites or condos. We all have whatever we need to live within the mansion on our own. The rest of the place is just for socializing...if anyone is around to socialize with..."

"I see, that suits us just fine. We will of course not lock ourselves away within our suit." Gitano was a social vampire, not like he wasn't, but Gitano would make sure they went out often to be social with anyone who was around.
"Perhaps we will be able to help you to liven this place up." She said looking to his mate, who was glancing about at everything.
It was a sad state to see a home for those of clan Toreador to be without life and parties, to be lacking i the social feel it should be filled with. Hopefully with them here and this lovely female they could bring life to their haven.

"Here we are!" Ela chimed, stopping in front of a set of french doors, "Go ahead and check it out!"
Duvessa stood back, not wanting to interfere with the two of them inspecting their new home.
"I do hope it will be to your liking. Ela and I could certainly use the company if you two decide to stay here at the mansion..."
She was hopeful.

"I'm sure we'll love the rooms, either way we'll be staying here. Heaven's knows this place needs more life breathed into it. It's just not proper for this place to be so...desolate and barren." Came the blonds response even as he turned his blue eyes to the doors his mate was opening.
A small breath, unneeded by the undead, was let out as his blue eyes took in the site of their room. "It is lovely, perfect infact." It would simply need personal things but it was lovely!
"It is indeed as my mate says." Luca replied turning to the two females. "And as he said, no matter what we would be staying. We must stay together." They were a clan, even if many members were missing, the few to be found needed to stay together.
One bed in the room made it even more perfect, a small bed made for one or two beds would simply not have done. If two beds they would have needed to be pushed together, if it were too small it would have needed to be exchanged for a larger bed. His mate, as lovely as he was, was something of a sheet hog. His lovely Gitano tended to wrap himself in the sheets when it was cold out.

"I'm glad to hear that you like it," Duvessa said with a slight nod, "and I think that Ela and I will be going back to our own living quarters now so the two of you can get settled. We are on the floor just below yours and all the way to the left side. If you ever need us, we can find us there or at least leave us a note."
Duvessa smiled at her two new friends and left them to enjoy themselves.
"Nice to have met you!" Ela chimed in before following Duvessa away.
((Hey Sleet, do you think we should try PMing some of the other Toreador owners to see if they'd like to come and join us in this thread? This way at least when I'm so busy there can be other people around.))

"Of course, and thank you again." Gitano said smiling and was quick to embrace the female vampire, kissing her cheek lightly. "I do hope we can spend some time together soon, to speak on a party of sorts and other things of importance." Art, parties, all the important things of course.
Oh, how he hoped they could spend time together and discuss things, he loved his mate but he did not wish to have only Luca to speak with. "A good evening to you both ladies."
"Of course, if ever we wish to speak with either of you we will be sure to drop by your rooms, a good evening to you both." He too was planning on speaking more to this female, they were after all clanmates and that meant something. More then that they were also both lovers of art.
