Aspen stayed silent even after the lycan had turned around. The word he had thought seemed to split her very brain down the middle. "Follow" pierced her own thoughts and left a freezing cold after-movement. After a few agonizingly long seconds, she had recovered, and her feet dragged her body behind him.
He was magnificent. The only time she'd ever seen herself was in the ripples of water, never had she seen another Wolf in their true beauty. She calmed her breathing and heartbeat and continued to follow.
She wasn't sure how much time passed, but soon they came upon a castle. A castle. Aspen gawked at the sheer size of the thing. It's pale walls seemed to touch the very sky, and the rocky, forested ground it stood on seemed like even an amazing earthquake couldn't make it budge. The lycan who had brought her there was no longer in sight, but Asp could still smell his fur, and feel the tiny reverberations his footprints left on the ground and in her mind.
She followed again, completely unsure of what to think, but knowing that there would be an adventure awaiting. "Hey!" she finally called, "How am I getting in this place?"
.....And I'll respond with, "Why aren't you?" ♠♤♠♤♠♤♠♤♠♤♠♤♠♤♠♤♠♤♠♤♠♤♠♤♠

╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ "Darren Copeland. Pleasure. But I'm afraid it's too dangerous in these parts at night--especially for those who don't know the land." Darren didn't elaborate any further. "But... I suppose I can have someone go look for your bag." He knew he would be the one to go outside.
Darren opened the door and stepped outside, whistling for the groom who had helped him before, asking him to take Sion to one of the spare rooms. "See you tomorrow, buddy. Hope you sleep well." And with that he took off with a purpose down the hallway in the opposite direction. ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

He felt the girl following behind him the entire way. When she shouted at him about getting inside his home, he lead her up the path that wrapped around the castle to the gate. Once there, he leapt onto the stone railing in front of the portcullis and glanced inside the courtyard. He figured the girl would be able to find her way inside. He sniffed the air and then took off again.

You are each taken to your own room on the second floor of the castle. The girls are taken down the east wing and the boys are taken down the west wing. A fire is already lit in the fireplace making the room all nice and cozy. The servants have taken care to turn down the covers on the four poster beds. You are offered food before you go to sleep (the kitchen can prepare almost anything). You have your own bathroom with basic toiletries already in place.
The room is lit by gas lamps and candles. There are only two electrical outlets in each room: one by the bed and one in the bathroom.

(( Feel free to time skip to the next morning, just make a note of it ))

Aspen breathed in sharply as the cold water hit her face and blindly reached for a towel. Soon her face was enveloped in its fluffy white warmth. She let a few stray drops of water drip from her hair and looked in the mirror. It was so strange, this place, and how she felt completely at home, as if she was always meant to be here. She'd made a few acquaintances before being shown to her room, but nothing she hadn't already forgotten. Asp was in complete awe of the place, and knew it would be a while before she adjusted.
She walked back into her new bedroom and pulled away the curtains to stare at the night sky. The seemed to be billions of stars twinkling above, and only one candle, next to the bed, was lit and softly flickering. Her bedroom was filled with rich silver grey and blue tones. Not what she would've picked for herself, but still lovely. She pulled the midnight blue bedspread up around her and blew out the candle, for once, not concerned with what the morning would bring.

Ya zvezda, ty zvezda…Lana opened her eyes to the dim sunlight coming in through the curtain on her window. She yawned, blinking the sleep from her eyes as she sat up and stretched out her back. Her fiery hair was a tangled mess on the back of her head, and she made a face as she felt the knots. She took hold of the cover and pushed it off her as she swung her legs off the side of the bed and stood up.
Lana made her way into the bathroom, squinting in the mirror at her appearance. Her cheeks were covered in a thin layer of dust, making it look like Lana had a tan leftover from the summer sun. She snorted, and the face in the mirror snorted back at her. She turned on the faucet and cupped her hands under the trickle of water. She lifted it up and splashed her face with it, feeling cleaner by the second. When she looked back up to the mirror, her face was pale white, almost like a china doll's skin. She smiled, remembering the doll her mother had given her.
But then again, that was the past, and there was no reason to dwell on it. It would only cause her pain, something she tended to avoid as much as possible. Besides, this was a fresh start, and she needed to let go of the troubling past year and a half.…Nas prikazano szhech.

Tanya softly closed the door to hers and Ludwig's bedroom behind her. He had returned soon after she had taken the girls to their rooms. It was nice to be home and to sleep safely in her own bed in the arms of her lover. She had awoken before Ludwig had even begun to stir.
Once in the hall, she looked at the grandfather clock that stood proudly across from her. It was still late morning. She headed down to the first floor and headed to the doorway under the main staircase that lead to the kitchen. As soon as she began to head down the hidden stair, the smell of food hit her nose. The servants were preparing a late breakfast. She nodded curtly when they greeted her. "Good morning. May I?" She moved to help them carry the dishes to the dining hall.
Once there, Tanya took notice of the careful placement of the plates, utensils, and napkins. They have made a feast to impress our guests. There were pastries--homemade of course, eggs, waffles, cheeses, bacon, ham, sausages, porridge, and fruits (apples, oranges, and pears). Tanya dismissed the servants and sat down to eat after pouring some tea for herself. She was too hungry to wait for anyone else to join her, although she did hope the children would join her soon, imagining that most of them had not eaten a healthy breakfast in a long time. (( Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you get some good presents and food! smile
Added some more reference pictures to help establish the surroundings.
If anyone finds any pictures or wants to suggest more rooms, etc, feel free pm me with your ideas! ))

Sion bows slightly, "thank you." He follows the man to the room and nods, "thank you sir." He enters and goes over to the corner shifting back into a wolf and curls up in the corner of the room, and tries to fall asleep.

Ya zvezda, ty zvezda…The smell of food wafted up to Lana's room. She inhaled deeply, savouring the scents and wondering what on Earth could smell so heavenly. Lana raced out of the bathroom and out of her room. Her hair was still tangled and her face was still striped with dirt, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to eat, and never stop.
Lana nearly dove down the stairs, following the smell of food into the dining hall. "Good morning." Lana managed to mutter as she stared at the mass amounts of food. She wondered which to taste first; a pastry, fruit, waffles, porridge... She felt drool on the corner of her mouth and quickly wiped it away, looking at Tanya with an embarrassed look crossing her face.
What was she doing? She was half clean, in the house of someone she barely knew, and all she could think about was food. She felt ashamed that she could be so careless, so easily disregard the hospitality given to her all because of a meal.…Nas prikazano szhech.

Sion wakes up and stretches, What's the quickest way outside? He looks around then smiles the window He shifts back to human and walks over to the window, quickly pushing it open. He freezes as the window swings out oh, that's not good. He slowly steps away realizing he's in a room on the third floor, of a castle, on top of a hill. The drop out the window was approximately eighty, to ninty feet down, "okay. window's a bad idea." he shifts back to wolf and wonders out the door and tries to find a way downstairs.
