Returning to the common room, Mahayr shuffles over to her furs and kneels, tea in hand. Someone had thoughtfully moved them closer to the fire and the chill in her bones begins to dispell as she sips, making an effort to relax.

A voilet mist drifts in, floating in the center of the common room. Shimmering and settling lightly, a fuzzy form begins to take shape. Blinking rapidly as the mist takes solid shape. Speaking in a hushed soft voice
Hello?
Looking around carefully
Shrugging gracefully
No one awake.
Stomach grumbles loudly. Cheeks darkening in a pretty pink. Talking to self while walking quickly to the kitchen
Thank goodness no one's around to hear that. Oh, how embarrasing. Let's see what I can whip up. Hmmm, fresh veggies-carrots, corn, brocolli, pasta, .... Now where are the spices? Ah, here they are. Butter? Ah-hah, butter.
Taking all ingredients, one by one to nearby counter. Rinsing pot and filling with water and pasta. Chopping veggies effortlessly, humming tunelessly, plopping fresh cut veggies in separate pot of boiling water. Placing a pat of butter in a serving bowl. Cleaning up small messes as they happen. Mixing all cooked ingredients in bowl with butter, seasoning to taste and covering. Cleaning all used dishes, drying and replacing each in its place. Taking small bowl and fork, dishing a small portion and carrying it back to the common room. Kneeling at table, bowl in hands, eating carefully
Mmmm...delish...oo..oo.. and hot!
Blowing franticly
Finishing impromptu meal, moving easily to kitchen to wash, dry and put away dishes. Storing the bowl with remainder of meal in the cooler. Heating fresh water, taking teapot down from shelf, rinsing-drying thoroughly and placing tea bags in. Retrieving delicately flowered cup and saucer, rinsing/drying. Snapping off small sprig of mint from windowsil, rinsing and dropping into teapot. Pouring heated water in. Allowing tea to steep while scouring the bookshelf for pleasant reading material. Selecting a book, placing it on the table and searching for a candle. Finding a fat white candle, settling it on the table and with a wink lighting it. Returning to the kitchen to pour steaming cup of tea. Tipping reading glasses into place while walking with cup to settle at table to sip tea and read. Time passes.......
Flickering candlelight shows a young woman, glasses resting low on nose, sleeping with hands folded over a book splayed open on her chest

Stirring restlessly in her bed, a light sheen forms on her skin as she is tossed by her dreams. All these nights of shifting glimpses have finally given way to the epics she is more accustomed to, and regardless of the fitful slumber she is glad they have returned.
White-furred ancient elephant... aliens and hidden cisterns; tigers and ducks with their own affairs. Affairs she will tend to in her own way.
And so it goes... in every heart there is a room, a sanctuary safe and warm. (Billy Joel)
And so it goes, and so it goes... and so will you, soon. I suppose.

Nin relaxed more as she listened to the melodious singing and closed her amathyst eyes again, ensuring herself she was nowhere near sleepy. Mere minutes later she'd dozed off.
