EVIE
like love is a bad word
The excitement of revelation and new discoveries easily drowns out the trepidation she had felt when staring down the doorway alone. With Wessex and Rexanna at her back, both powerful Ascended women in their own right, she doesn't fear what lies beyond. She was the squishy human of the bunch, she needed the closest thing to bodyguards she could get if she had to face some sort of monster hiding in the depths of the Queen's house. Wessex eagerly - or as eagerly as the woman could get - gestures for her to proceed, and Evie rips the door open with one last heave at the ancient, stubborn thing. The dust within makes her eyes water, but not enough to conceal the excitement as she takes in the secret room that opens up to them. They all stride inwards, taking in the size, the placement of random items that catch her eye.
Of course she is instantly drawn towards the books, blowing off the dust with a whoosh of air and trying to read the faded titles on the spines. Evie can't help but be curious what lies inside, especially with the little spy-hole in the wall. Secrets? Gossip? Something more sinister? Turning to the pair she smiles, feeling accomplished with what they have all collectively achieved. "It could be a good secret escape route too, it seems like it follows the outside of the house. Or just a hideaway!" She prayed it would never have to be used for such things - especially if Wessex didn't put in an external door to preserve the secrecy of the room. The idea of busting through the walls physically to escape someone definitely didn't seem appealing. But, well, the Queens of the Grounds didn't seem to have much luck in their ruling.
