While The Darkness Can Help You Hide

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days. The nearby stables are still maintained with a number of well-heeled equines.

While The Darkness Can Help You Hide

Postby Tereza Rozanov » Tue Jul 18, 2017 6:50 pm

It was late out which meant the grounds were clothed in pale silver from the snow reflecting the moonlight. Here and there the shadows on the snow rippled or maybe the snow itself rippled, but in this light it was hard to tell. Near the center of the strange shadows was a dome of snow, around seven feet across and nearly four feet tall, with a perfectly sculpted smooth exterior. Periodically, the dome would ripple as well and shed some snow into the area around the dome.

There's a bundled-up figure walking across the grounds towards the dome.

A wisp of red hair might be familiar. The scent even moreso.

The snow swirls up at her as she approaches it, forming into wolves that prowl around the area. A path begins opening to the dome, snow moving out of the way starting closest to her. Tereza's definitely in the dome, but Sam can sense her presence in the constructs as well.

"...well yes, you've got a theme," Sam smiles softly as she continues her way up to the dome along the path, regarding the snow wolves.

The dome splits open, pulling apart to reveal the hollow space inside where Tereza is sitting with a small lantern turned down. Her eyes are closed and her breathing is slow and even. "You would rather they be something else?" Her voice is quiet and still, more than Sam has heard her in a while.

"I'm not complaining at all," she says, sitting down across from Tereza.

"How long have you been back?"

"No, it's okay. You can come in," she says, scooting back a little as the dome grows a bit.

"I almost went through a pair of drumsticks while you were gone."

"So you're saying I owe you another pair of drumsticks," Tereza says as the dome closes up behind Sam, the inside as featureless as the outside except for the dim light from the lantern.

"Well after this past semester, I'm not sure 'dainty' is ever going to fit me again," she smiles, reaching out to touch Tereza's cheek.

"But I'm not going to shed any tears over that."

Tereza leans into the touch, "No arguments here." She reaches her own hand up to touch Sam's and then looks puzzled. She pulls Sam's hand back and looks at it, "Drumming's apparently been working out your hands."

"Uhm... more than my hands," she says with a faint blush, reaching to guide Tereza's arm up her arm. The padding of her coat makes it harder to tell, but it feels a bit more toned.

"...sort of."

"I didn't really notice it happening at first. I mean, it's just me in my skin, aye?"

"But Will spotted it, and it's... faster than it probably should be. So I guess we think it's a... subconscious thing?"
