Jorian was correct. The guest room of the cabin was delightfully
private, beautifully adorned and plentiful of space.There
was even a fireplace, already lit, in the sitting room. The
servant had already brought Nachaels sparse belongings and
had set them upon the large stuffed couch.
|
There were other stuffed chairs gathered near the couch to make
it a sociable place. Beyond that there was a table with a a small
bookshelf set near it. On the table were fruits and flowers, writing
pad and inkwell, and a dish of sweets. Nachael grabbed one of the
fruits, a shiny red apple, and ate it as she explored the rest of
the guest space.
There were three doors from the main social area of the guest room.
One door led to the interior of the cabin, the other led to the
exterior of the cabin, and the the third led to the bedroom itself.
| A gigantic four poster bed dominated the room.
It had a generous amount of pillows and quilts and looked quite
comfortable. Nachael spent a few moments testing the mattress.
First she sat on it, and upon finding that it was soft, yet
firm, she lay down. Her body sank into the softness, then settled
as it was supported and a part of her mind thought, I could
get used to this. She also noticed that the bed made
little noise because of her movements. For some reason that
pleased her. |
|
The bedroom had two doors. One that exited back into the sitting
room, the other into a well appointed bathroom. This probably impressed
Nachael more than anything.
 |
The stone bathtub was huge, with a spigot that let in deliciously
hot water. In fascination, Nachael let the water run through
her fingers for a moment, enjoying the decadence. There was
a plug at the bottom, but she didn't use it and she watched
for awhile, like a curious cat, as the water mysteriously
drained away. Then she shut down the spigot and investigated
the room further. There was a shelf full of soft, white towels
and bathing supplies of all sorts. Nachael read the carefully
written labels on a bottle of bath oils. Then she opened the
bottled and sniffed the sweet scent of flowers.
When I bathe next, she thought, I'm going to try
this first. The idea amused her and she might have decided
then and there to bathe, but she realized that she was still
curious about this fascinating place.

Nachael left the guest rooms a few minutes later and headed back
to the Main Abode of Haven.
