Morrigan's room is quite simple. There's a rather large bed in the middle, but not much else. There are a few chairs in case she has company, but that's it. She could definitely do with some decoration to make the room less boring. She may get to that eventually.
On the bright side, the bathroom is quite luxurious. An in-ground tub that could easily be classified as a swimming pool. There's also a large shower, and a large double sink.
There is also a large empty room connected to the bedroom. At the moment, there's nothing in this room, but it could easily be converted into any sort of room Morrigan wants.

Morrigan
Morrigan showed Gypsy to her room. "Here we are," she said. "It's not much, but this is my room. This is where you'll be staying now." She blushed a bit. "I can probably have another bed brought in, if you want. I want you to be comfortable here, Gypsy."

Gypsy moved to check the entire place out then returned to look at the door, taking the part of bodyguard seriously, "Why the blush? You've got nothing to be embarrassed about. I haven't had a room of my own since I lived with my father and that was nothing more than a cot in a very small room with a two-drawer dresser. I kept so many weapons under the cot that I might as well have been sleeping on top of them. The floor's fine with me until we can get something else," she said, her musical voice sounding a bit distracted as she checked the door over. "We'll have to replace the door soon. That thing's gonna get knocked down if someone sneezes on it," she added with a little bit of disgust over whoever put the thing in. One of the few things that could be considered a bad thing about Gypsy was the fact that she had no idea just how beautiful she truly was.

Morrigan
"You really don't have to sleep in the floor, Gypsy," Morrigan said. "You can sleep in the bed with me until we find something else." She wasn't saying that to get Gypsy in the same bed as her. She was interested in keeping Gypsy comfortable. "And I think there's an empty room attached to this one. We could could convert it into a room for your weapons." She was quiet for a moment. "I do have something to ask. Would you be able to teach me a bit about fighting? I don't really know anything beyond throwing things at people with telekinesis or turning into a wolf and attacking that way. It isn't a very effective way to go about it."

Gypsy agreed with a shrug of one shoulder and a nod, "I'll be able to protect you better that way anyway. And I'll have to teach you a bit as well. You'll need to learn to evade a bit first. Using your telekinesis can be seen as a crutch if you use it too much. Which means they'll find a way to get around it. Blinding you, for instance. That would mean that you can't see what you need to attack. But you can still defend yourself without using it," she explained to her new boss. "We can work out a schedule for it after a bit of rest. And you look like you could use something to eat too," she suggested, knowing she'd need to eat as well, though she wasn't too sure where she'd be getting her more bloody meals yet.

Morrigan
Morrigan nodded as she listened to Gypsy explain. "I agree that my telekinesis is becoming a crutch," she said. "If someone gives me a headache, I become useless in a fight." She smiled. "I look forward to learning from you." She yawned a bit, and her stomach suddenly growled. She hadn't realized how tired and hungry she was until Gypsy mentioned it. "A meal would be nice. And that reminds me about your diet. I'll have to see about finding someone to provide you with blood. Until then, you can have mine. Is that alright?"

Gypsy shook her head slightly, "I can't weaken you that way but thank you for the offer. I'll be fine on that side of things for a little while. In the meantime, I actually can eat regular food. So let's get you fed and see about something for me as well," she offered with a small smile. "You'll have to show me where we eat, though. I haven't exactly gotten to explore around much," she added with a shrug of one shoulder. She didn't talk about Morrigan's explanation about her powers. They'd cover that after food and some rest.

Gypsy and Morrigan got back from eating and the hybrid encouraged Morrigan to go ahead and get into the bed while she worked on setting up a few defenses. So Morrigan fell asleep as Gypsy did her job. After a few hours, Gypsy finally stopped to look over the extra room, thinking about the things she would need for it. It would be a combination workout room and bedroom for the hybrid where she would teach Morrigan as well. But she found herself thinking of the past instead. She'd never known her mother or anything about her beyond the fact that she was a vampire and that Gypsy supposedly resembled her. She had strong suspicions that her father had killed her after Gypsy was old enough to not need her, but she had no proof. Everything about her mother had basically been erased, leaving her nothing to know about her. She still wondered about her mother from time to time. But it was hard for her to think about it. It was basically an abstract subject for her. She didn't even have a piece of cloth with her mother's scent on it so she had nothing to even guess at. Every time she looked in the mirror she wondered what features she'd gotten from her mother, what it was about herself that resembled the woman. If she'd had a picture of some kind she would have known what to look for. But she didn't even have that much and it pestered her at times. She tried to shake off the thoughts but they kept returning, keeping her awake and wondering. After all, she didn't even know what bloodline her mother came from. So she didn't know if her powers came from her mother or her a*****e father. Were her powers demonic or vampiric or a combination of them? Where did she get her crimson eyes from? Her red hair? Her innate fighting abilities? Where had she come up with the rose vine design for her sword and sheath? Why that design when there was very little that was soft about her? But she'd been obsessed with rose vines since she was a little girl, constantly drawing them in various ways to the point that she'd made her father angry at her every time he caught her at it.

Gypsy paused in her thinking when she felt... something...
She couldn't define what it was, exactly, but it felt like something was 'calling' to her. Something she couldn't ignore...
She turned and checked on Morrigan then checked on the defenses she'd set up and wrote a note telling Morrigan that she'd return soon, that she had something else to check on.
Then she wrapped the shadows around herself and disappeared...
((Exit))

Gypsy found herself back in what would become the training room and her bedroom and frowned, still able to feel the shadow cloak around her shoulders. She reached a hand up to touch it tenderly and pictured it off of her shoulders but ready to return at her call. She gave a small smile when it simply happened. After a moment, she moved into the main bedroom and stood looking down at Morrigan's sleeping face for a moment. She finally moved over to the other side of the bed and removed her weapons before laying down, leaving her leathers on and her sheathed sword in her hands, her fingers moving slowly over the rose vine that covered it. She finally laid the sword over her with one hand on the hilt and closed her eyes, knowing that she needed some amount of sleep. When they woke up, she'd have to start training her new boss. But after she finally fell asleep, she kept dreaming about various moments in her past that were inter-spaced with the brief moments she'd had with Shade and what she'd learned from him. It didn't make for a restful sleep but she didn't make any outward reactions of the dreams she was having. Her past had taught her to keep even her dreams private...

Morrigan
Morrigan slept peacefully for a while, instinctively curling up to Gypsy. When she woke up, she found that her arm had ended up around her new bodyguard. She sat up and stretched, being careful not to disturb Gypsy. She got out of bed and left the room for a moment to get something to eat. She returned soon after with two plates of food. She used her telekinesis to gently shake Gypsy to wake her up.

Gypsy had known the moment Morrigan got up but didn't get up until she returned and gave her a small nod of thanks for the food. She waited until they'd both finished eating before she stood, leaving her weapons beside the bed as she approached to take the bowls, set them outside, then returned to her. "I want to try something with you. It's a way to work on the training you've asked me to give you," she said softly then used the shadows to create a thick dark scarf, "I intend to blind you with this whenever you're in this room. That will make you more aware of your surroundings and prevent you from using your telekinesis as much as you do, make you start relying on your hands and your senses. From there, I'll start you on a bit of self-defense. But only while you wear the blindfold. It will make you think instead of react until everything I teach you becomes second nature to you," she explained then offered her the blindfold. This time, she wanted Morrigan to do it herself, to willingly agree to the terms she was setting. She knew that telekinesis relied on vision for the most part. The one using it had to see a target to be able to manipulate things towards it. Morrigan had come to rely on her ability too much. So much so that it had become a bit of a crutch and something she used without thinking of any alternative ways. That needed to change now...

Morrigan
Morrigan was quiet as she watched Gypsy. She hesitated when Gypsy explained her plans and offered the blindfold. Was she sure about this? She decided that she was sure and took the blindfold. She tied it around her eyes so that she couldn't see anything and took a deep breath. "Alright, Gypsy," she said. "I'll do whatever you think is necessary."

Gypsy gave a relieved nod when Morrigan simply put the blindfold on and started with walking around her slowly, forcing her to extend her basic senses to follow where she was, "Good. The first step starts with a question. What would you do if you were suddenly blindfolded like this then picked up in a kidnapping attempt?" she asked her softly then moved into action. She first trapped Morrigan's arms at her sides to make it feel more real to her, to make her consider what actions she had available to her, "Tell me what all you can do in this one moment. Your telekinesis is useless because you cannot see, cannot see if there's more than one person trying to take you, cannot see to find out if someone has noticed and is coming to aid you. So that is out of the question. You cannot attack with your ability because you simply don't know enough information right now. So what else is available to you? what else can you do to free yourself?" she laid out the scenario for her, wanting her to think this through. She knew she had to engage Morrigan's mind, to make her think first. This was the first step...

Gypsy swore roundly when someone knocked on the door and simply went to open it with a glare for the guard standing there. He stammered something out about Kael being at the main entrance and looking for her then ran off before she could hurt him. At that, she swore colorfully and turned back to Morrigan to take her blindfold off, "Hold that thought. I've got a divorce to finalize," she told her simply then left the room after noticing that her sword was now gone. How the hell he'd managed to get her sword like that, she had no idea. But it didn't make her happy... ((Exit))
