Welcome to Gaia! ::

Miyuki nodded at this, "Yup, it's all set. I'll probably end up adding things later, but that's later and isn't so serious that it has to be added now."

Besides, if she spent another several weeks on it, she might go crazy. It was a long time to spend on just one thing.

Miyuki coughed as she tried to cover up a laugh, the two sounded like over grown children.

Lin tugged on Earendil's sleeve and told him separately what the two had asked so he wouldn't be lost as to why the girls were giggling.

"Yes, you all get to see it," Miyuki told Lancaeriel, "And however much you like, there isn't much, and the walls can be easily replaced."

Which sounded weird, but the walls were frames with paper screens on top. She could easily replace the screens if needed and keep the frames. Well, she had to keep the frames she had incorporated the Winter family's alarm system and security inside the tent as well. Since there wasn't anything keeping people out, just the elements.

"The hallway width wise and fit two people side by side comfortably and it's a really long hallway," Miyuki replied, "There are actually more hallway than doors, just in case because I find we pick people up unexpectedly."

Of course, she could remove the end wall of the hallway and add more hallway or even a room, but it was better to not have to do that yet.

Miyuki led the way back to the tent, it stood out against all the other tents. Not just because it was bigger, but because it looked to be intricately decorated. Runes were chained together to make a pretty design, though they were there to make it strong enough to withstand the elements and prevent anyone from setting it on fire, or poking holes into it.

"The best part is, you're safe in this even in a storm," she told them, "Though there's nothing to prevent strangers from going inside without permission, that hadn't been on my list of things to do."

Lin patted Earendil on the shoulder, it was something he was still on use to after all this time. She was glad it was just his hearing, it worried her a bit. That if Earendil had been any more handicapped he would have become depressed.

Miyuki nodded, "I'd like that. I couldn't find any practical way to just have only specific people enter, and there was more information on the good intentions idea. Though that might be because that's what mom's family back home uses."

There were too many people passing through their gates and doors to make specific people practical. As long as they got a warning that someone that wasn't family was in the compound or in their home, that was fine by them.

"Okay," Miyuki smiled brightly as she went in first.

She led the group into a large open room. There was nothing in there but the storage boxes. Now that Miyuki thought about it, she should think about trying to add a stove and oven, if she could do a forge, doing that should be much easier.

It was huge, but the traveling party had grown so large that she wanted everyone to be able to eat in the same place.

"This is supposed to be the dining area and kitchen, but well... there isn't much in here at the moment," Miyuki explained.

The floor was pale wood that matched the wall frames, making the paper screens stand out even more. If it weren't for the fact some of that wall seemed to stick out slightly, indicating a door, the doors would have been missed.

"You chose a Japanese design?" Lin asked a bit bemused by it.

It was fitting for Miyuki, it was just she was surprised that her daughter would choose such a Gaian design.

Miyuki motioned to the walls, "The design is the easiest to expand, since originally these designs were meant to separate one huge room into several, so it's easier for me to visualize if I have to expand again."

She paused and the added.

"But to answer Cael's question, the answer is both. This layout is more like a maze than one huge room. Each door entering into another aspect of the plane. So if you put your hand through the paper that is a door, yes you would end up in a hallway, or a room. Put your hand through a wall though, and there would be nothing."

Miyuki looked thoughtful at that, the paper was already firm but she understood what her aunt was thinking. It was just one panel, which wasn't actually that common as far as wall designs went.

"I can change the frames to be several panel, which is more traditional design, the frame would keep him from breaking the paper, and the paper itself is pretty firm."

As for making the door obvious, Miyuki tapped her cheek for a moment.

"Have a different kind of wood frame for the doors, that too is more traditional," Lin spoke up, "Some door designs have a thick wood running the width where a groove would be put in so a person could slide the door open easily."

"Oh yea..." Miyuki nodded, "That would do too."
