You're so cold
but you feel alive
Maea inched over as he reached for her, leaned her head against Sunjata's chest and just groaned in frustration at his words. Her little friend was a menace, a far cry from Haai's mature calm. Was this how things would be from now on? Never a moments peace? At the very least, the wisp didn't seem as adverse to the griffin as to Sunjata. It pulsed happily, very pleased with itself for 'chasing off' the pesky monsters, and then floated after Haai, to help explore.
"A small mercy..." Maea mumbled. Then sighed, straightened, and followed her lover inside. To see what the place was about.
Leaving him to inspect the kitchen, she picked her way across the room to the far back, where a small corridor branched off into other spaces further back. Bedrooms, it seemed, small enough to have housed children, though she thought they could easily be repurposed into other spaces. It really was in good condition all things considered, and even with the vines covering the porch outside, the light filtering inside showed promise.
"There's a staircase back here," she called back, upon spotting a set of stairs curving up along the wall at the far end of the corridor. "Seems like they've been using the loft for something." Maea tested the steps carefully, and found them sound; she began to make her way up, curiosity burning inside her to see what was up there.
