Isolde's Room

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into an administrative building as well as faculty and staff housing on the second floor.

Isolde's Room

Postby The Book of Sins » Fri Jul 21, 2017 6:24 pm

Opting to not place Isolde among the rest of the student body she'd been giving one of the guest rooms in Dower House. It's sparingly decorated, but while renovated it still has bit of an old-fashioned flair to it, including a small fireplace. It's on it's mantle where a very, very old friend suddenly materializes, sitting with his legs crossed, both arms on his knees as he leans forward a bit, patiently waiting for Isolde with a broad grin on his face.

It's a bit late when Isolde gets back, looking frustrated from her time outside. She reaches to flick on the light switch and freezes once she's able to take in the room a bit more attentively.

"...you."

"Oh I wasn't worried about you. And whether the debt is paid matters little. As long as you bear the curse you know who your true masters are. Have you told her?" he asks coyly. "Just whom she has to thank for her newfound connection to the earth?"

He barks out a laugh. "Seems rather disingenuous to call them that, doesn't it? I should know, there's power in first-born children after-all. Over the years people have sacrificed quite a lot to have what you gave up and it's beginning to bear fruit." he says and launches into more laughter, wiping at his eyes with the sleeve of his suit and getting dangerously close to falling off the mantle.

"Rude. No, I suppose not, beyond a friendly reminder that you've already bought what I have to offer and you'd do well to remember the nature of what you are." he says, his good mood gone in the blink of an eye as the room suddenly feels so much darker.

"I knew how to make you, I know how to unmake you. Just keep that in mind." the dwarf glowers at her without breaking his grin. Then he snaps his finger and disappears.

Shortly after the dwarf disappeared, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll definitely keep an eye out for him," she says with a softly growled inflection, "The dwarf, that is. I'd say I'd offer to tell the headmistress, but I don't think she'd know what to do with that information even if I did."

"I think I can probably safely rule that out, despite never having seen him myself. Too much other evidence to not realize something's a bit off the norm," Tereza says, walking around the room and looking it over.

It's sparse. Certainly the room has some furnishings of its own, but Isolde hasn't added to them any. Isolde herself came to the university seemingly with only the clothes on her back, and while they'd confiscated some minor items from her, it's certainly not enough to make the place feel even remotely 'homey.'

"The question then becomes why would now be the right time? And why you?" The questions seem mostly rhetorical as she adds, "You should really add some plants or something. I can pick up some things if you'll tell me what you want."
