Lupinus turned at the sound, but relaxed when he saw it was a fey child, though he'd not seen her before. Well, this looked promising... perhaps Winny could be distracted with someone her own age to play with. Indicating the spider fey, he said, "Astra- this is Aranea. I'm Lupinus. And this is Winny. She's teaching everyone how to play dollies. Why don't you come and play, too?" Turning back to the human child, he asked, "Wouldn't you like that, Winny?"

Aranea looked up as Winny placed two dolls in her hands. Luckily that this new Moon Court Fey child had entered, the expression on Aranea's face at actually having to play with Winny was not pleasant.
'Welcome Astra,' she said smoothly, her eyes regarding the new Fey with some degree of interest. She looked back at Winny;
'Would you not prefer to play with this doll?' and she took out a velvet bag that had been tucked away beneath her dress. She had made her kithain bring the doll when she knew that they were to entertain the girl for a period of time and she opened it, pulling out an intricately made clockwork doll. She wound the tiny silver key in its back, put it on a table and let it go. It twirled, and pirouhetted, its doll hair flying about it and the princess-ballet style dress billowing as it moved. It moved slowly, bending over and stopping as the clockwork wound down.
'This is yours.' she said.

There was another girl! Winny brightened up, she'd know how to play dolls. She looked like she could do anything! "Astra is a pretty name. Do you want to be my friend too? We're playing dollies." Winny told her, holding out one of the dolls originally for Aranea.
Then the doll distracted Winny from her idea of playing dolls. She dropped them forgotten on the ground, and wriggled up to it, kneeling in front of it and watching it with an awed expression. It was so pretty... "Can I have it?"

Aranea nodded, the expression on her face tightening - hadnt she already told the girl it was hers? Were all human's as stupid? She forced a smile;
'Yes - its yours to play with as much as you like.' she said with a saccharine tone. She stood again.
'Please excuse me, I have things to do.' and she left the room swiftly, closing the door behind her and leaning against it. She had to go quickly from there - her hands had been itching to do harm to the girl - to take her to her laboratory and see how many pretty screams she could extract with her experiments. She let out a breath. The urge was passing and she walked away from the chamber, intent on going to her lab now and working till nightfall.

Astra nodded happily, and say with the girl, playing with the doll given to her. After a moment's study, her clever fingers guided the doll into a gentle waltz that was known to her, a song drifting from her lips in a tender 3/4 time.
"Come dancing, come dancing, fly high!
Gentle one, oh fair one, fly high!
Follow me, follow me, my fairy light...
Dance with me, dance with me, into the night!"

Winny's jaw dropped a bit at Astra. That was really pretty too! In fact, if the castle hadn't been as creepy as a haunted house, Winny might have liked coming here more. This room was nice though, it made Winny want to stay in there. Outside, it looked strange.
And that brought another question to Winny's curious mind. "What's your room like, is it like this one?"

Astra smiled prettily, and looked around with a certain near-innocence. She nodded, then added. "It's very much like this place - but my bedroom's beside the music room. My bedroom also has many instruments decorating the walls; lutes, lyres, flutes, fifes, drums and cymbals, guitars, harps and even a mandolin from spain...really, almost any instrument you can think of." She continued to make the doll dance with her fingers, feeling already a certain boredom. She would like to take the girl to her room - a gentle hunger was already building just behind her cheeks - but she knew that Magistrix Nox would never allow it.
