Welcome to Gaia! ::

They went down one hallway and up one flight of stairs. While the manor wasn't as big as a palace by any stretch of the imagination, it was still large. Having been built during Daemon's time, in which the main house had to stand out from the rest of the buildings (even though there were no other buildings back then).

The hallway that was set aside for Lin and Earendil's family was denoted by an arched open door way. There were four rooms in the hallway, a precaution taken by Donovan because he figured Lin was the most like Kara. Though he seriously doubted anyone could match the number of children Kara had taken in.

Triton opened the door to the room Earendil and Lin would be staying in. The room had to be heavily modified to suit an elf and an angel. It was an unusually large room by Gaian standards, even for a master bedroom, but it had to fit the bed, which had to fit Earendil and Lin together, and that didn't even include the desk, the couch, the dresser, the desk chair, the bookshelf and the night tables. All while not blocking the closet, the bathroom door, or the sitting niche that was part of the large long window.

"Here's your room," he looked over at Lin and Earendil.

Not that he needed to tell them that, her pets had made themselves home in that room and the window was open to let them out. On the wall someone had managed to mount a display of all of the 'flowers' Lin had ever been given onto the wall. He felt the side of the wall and flipped the switch even though there was still light coming through the window. The overhead lights turned on.

"The light switch is here," he turned off again, "And there are lamps on the night tables, but Lin can explain that."

He turned and went over to the room across the hall. Inside, it looked like someone had moved most of Lin's childhood stuff and shove it into that room including her old bed and dolls. The only thing that was missing were her weapons, which Lin had.

"Miyuki, this will be your room," Triton explained.

He went to the right of Miyuki's door to open another door. Unlike the other rooms, this one was pretty generic. It had deep dark wood furniture, and a white bed cover to keep the dust off. Otherwise it was bare, but Triton figured the next time they visited it wouldn't be.

"Andarien, this will be your room," Triton explained, "It's pretty plain, sorry about that."

Triton smiled, "I'll see if I can ask Kali for one of her clocks."

He made a note to mention it to Kali, maybe she had an idea what would be good for Andarien.

"And you can put anything you like here, the next time you visit, this will be your room."

"When I mean it'll be your room, I mean permanently," Triton explained, "At the moment it's really a guest room."

Which probably wasn't a good description of it since the guest rooms had more decoration. Really it was just a room, it always paid in a family like theirs to have an extra room or two set up and on hand just in case.

"I guess what I mean to say is, the next time you visit it won't be so plain."

"And I'll be next door," Miyuki added, "Unlike the Southland palace these doors are easier to open."

Made of light wood instead of those heavy large doors they had before.

"And if you need any help, just ask," Lin added.

Triton excused himself to let the family unpack, besides he had to try and do more of the dinner (even though he knew he was getting help).

Lin chuckled, because that was probably both true and not true at the same time. The manor wasn't that complicated but the grounds as a whole probably was.

"We won't, don't worry," she assured him as she took Earendil's arm and led him back to their room.

Lin was carefully putting her clothes away, it was kind obvious which side was hers because all the clothes she didn't take with her was on her side. It felt a bit strange being back and yet not being in the room she had grown up with for most of her life.

Yet, it had things she was familiar with. Like the flowers that Earendil gave her, or her vase that now served as decoration in the corner of the room, or the fact her cell phone was on one of the night tables.

When she had finished she surveyed the room once more. This might take some getting use to for once.

Lin chuckled, "The very one."

It certainly looked like a vase she would have owned, it was her favourite colour, which was interesting. That was often the case for a lot of the vases.


Miyuki had wandered out into the hallway, unpacking was relatively easy and since they hadn't gone far to end up in Gaia she didn't have to brush or wash herself.
