Summary: Brennia rekindles a friendship in Casy and Sandra as she been a bit worried about them.
(Room Description)
Meadow
A path runs through this meadow from the merchant's corner and then turns west. You're sure that it would save time for the path to just cut straight west, but the maker of this dirt road obviously wanted travelers to see this serene place. Long, soft grass and wildflowers invite you to lie down here and enjoy the peace and quiet of this place. Bees hum from flower to flower, collecting the sweet nectar, and unknowingly the means to create the plants' offspring. This meadow shows how dignified and simple life can be sometimes, and you feel the need to ponder your own existence in this world called Hollow. To your west, you see a path leading into the hills, while to your north you can see a building.
A Ray of Light Leading Upwards is here.
Brennia had spent some time away and then a shorter time in isolation all surrounding the event of her castle being erected in the sky town of Schezerade in all of its decadence. She's become darker with a heavier burden resting on her wings, but in her small moment of peace of mind and perusing around her castle she came across something she hasn't thought about in all that time. There was a door in a wing of her castle with the depiction of a dragon on it to which opens up to a large catered room for her Sebias and as her dark sharp fingernails caress over the engraving she felt another pull. The very interesting character she saved from him going by the name of Cassy and Sandra and how she hasn't seen her since offering a place to live in her large castle. Brennia makes up her mind to say a sweet goodbye to her vampire slumbering in her bed and out the large double doors of her estate until she was following the Ray of Light down to Xalious in it's Meadows. Soft leather boots landing effortlessly in grace before folding those massive onyx wings close to her curvaceous frame and taking a moment to enjoy the sight of their simple meadow.
Casandra had been traveling around the area for a while now. Hanging around with the one other person she could actually call a friend, Pilar. Now? Now she was just spending time taking care of the flora in the area. She discovered that doing this was one of her favorite past times. Which usually took up most of her time. She kept herself hidden as well other then for those times she actually came out to talk to someone. Which wasn't common unless Sandra made her. Strangely, Sandra had been taking a backseat more often then not. Leaving Cassy to fend for herself most of the time. Not that Cassy was complaining. She didn't like it when Sandra took over without real reason.
Brennia was determined to find word of either Sebias or Cassy and Sandra, in her mind she kept them separate for that's probably how each personality felt. More often then not she actually could somewhat relate to her as of late. She starts to make her way through the meadow when she sees someone slightly familiar from afar and cooly sauntering her way closer she notices it's the very person she was just thinking about this morning. At first she wanted to call her by name, but, no… Not yet as she continued to shrink the space between her and the woman until they are merely feet away. "Hello there," that sulky alto tone prances on out between plump lips and a soft smirk to follow exposing those perfect pearly whites; now we wait to see whom we are speaking to.
Casandra :: Brennia would be greeted with amber eyes. Cassy for now. She had looked up when she had caught scent of an indistinguishable flower and smiled softly when she saw who it was. "Hey," She spoke just as lightly as she had the first time around that she had spoken to the avian. She was still kneeling in front of some flowers she had taken a small interest in but her attention was on Bre. "It has been awhile." She was glad to see that her friend was alright. Cassy had been worried. Sandra was getting bored.
Brennia allows her smile to widen which caused dimples to poke in her cheeks and in feeling the same relief she would want to hug her, but awaits till her friend stands up… Unless she wants a face full of bosom. Casandra may or may not notice the ink that used to adorn nearly every inch of her body seems… Faded and significantly so, somehow, but never mind that - "Casy, I thought that was you. How have you been?" Her tone continued its gentle cadence while those deep oceanic blue eyes subtly inspect her, making sure all is well, nothing out of the ordinary. Not that she needed protecting or defending, but this half of her seemed to need it, or want it and she remembers why she liked her from the beginning; she wants to care for and pamper Casy, but have wicked unsavory fun with Sandra.
Casandra :: Sandra had given her own small greeting, with the quick flash of emerald in the woman's eyes. Cassy just shifted to a sitting position, not minding the protectiveness Brennia showed as she looked her over. In a way, it was nice to have someone act motherly over her. And Sandra certainly didn't mind the fun they had and will inevitably have. "I have been doing well. Travelling a bit, meeting new people." Still very limited on words. Even though Bre was caring of her, she still kept to herself for the most part. Nothing against the avian of course. She would be distraught if she thought otherwise.
Brennia notices the flicker of emerald before she nods in respect to her ability to keep it in check and her elongated pointed ears are exaggerated when she tucks some hair behind them. When Casy mentions meeting new people she asks, "Oh? Any worth mentioning?" A playful wink was offered before her gaze falls on the flowers around them, "Have you been working on this?" Her hands gesture elegantly around them, "If so, then, well done. It's beautiful…" She remembers the marvelous gardens around her home and how she's been neglecting them, so she adds a bit meekly, "The gardens around my castle could use your tender love and care."
Casandra :: Cassy looked around as well, blushing when she was given the compliment. "Oh... no. I couldn't do ALL this. I just took care of the place and made sure everything grew properly." Though when she mentioned that her castle gardens could use her touch as well, she got a little excited at the opportunity to raise more beautiful creations. "Your castle? You mean its finally built?" She asks just as happy to hear that that was done as well.
Brennia allowed her own smile to beam, "That is just the same if you ask me. Nurturing and caring for such docile and frail things. I am sure it isn't easy." Got a little excited as well, "There is a topiary garden in front of my caste and a hot spring next to it, but there is this magnificent garden in the path leading to my home. Do you want to see?" That brilliant smile continuing while a had was offered down to help her up if she wanted.
Casandra :: Cassy nodded and took the offered hand, rising with her and saying, "I would love to!" Other then the garden in Frostmaw, which was always well taken care of, even after the war that had happened, she hadn't had a chance to do anything she thought was meaningful. If only to liven up Brennia's house, she would gladly come to view it and work with what she can. She even hopes to have her own garden. Nothing like you'd see anywhere but under the care of someone who would take absolute care of it.
(Room Description)
Jubilant Garden
The first thing you’ll notice about this garden is its enormous size and the myriad of pleasant scents that waft from it. It has to be the largest constructed garden in Schezerade, and is hexagonal in shape. Flowers of every colour, type and scent blossom here; with lavender and dahlias being the most predominant of them all. Medicinal herbs also take up residence in small hidden patches as well. Fruit trees line six sides of the garden, while large white bee boxes line the other three, with bees buzzing in and out gathering food, and in turn pollinating the beautiful garden. In its centre is a marble fountain, upon which is centred a finely crafted glass phoenix that water spurts out of in a fine mist. The fountain also has various koi carp swimming at the bottom, amongst the roots of lily pads and lotus flowers that are pounced on by frogs. Small stone pathways are placed around flowerbeds so one won’t step on the delicate flowers of this clearly well taken care of garden, and some sport stone benches for one to relax and just let the day go on by.
Brennia would lead her rekindled friend to the ray of light, "With this ray of light you can get up to Schezerade if you don't want to fly there. Isn't that neat?" And with that she flew up to the city entrance, once Casy would catch up with her she would make her way through the elegant floating town, zig zagging through the causeway of statues until they reach the Jubilant garden where to the north they can see the top of her castle from there. "Isn't it wonderful?" She might notice a patch dahlias missing and stomped on a bit.
Casandra :: Cassy gave her a smile when she lead her to the beam but instead chose to use her own two wings. She was capable of flight in this form. She just didn't do it often. When she finally caught up to Bre, she stared breathlessly at the magnificent sight. It was amazing. But of course, with a keen of eye such as hers, she picked out the oddity in the colorful array and frowned slightly while making her way over to the patch and crouching to inspect it. "What happened here..."
Brennia shyly looked down at her own soft leather boots, "I just… Got so angry at my - or someone I thought was my mother. Those are - or were, her favorite flowers… But I am over it now. And if you want to repair them to their formal glory I promise not to hurt them again." She places her own hand over her heart and a single nod like some sort of girl scout. "Would you like to see the castle now?" She gestures to the path that leads through the topiary garden.
Casandra :: Cassy gave a nod and replied, "In a moment." Then turned her attention to the plants. Hovering her hands over them, she let out a breath and a faint green aura formed around her hands and onto the flowers. Slowly, they seemed to be making a reverse affect of what had happened to them. Reshaping and repairing until they were back to their natural state. Letting out a more heavy sigh when she was done, she shook her head a bit, dizzy from the experience before offering Brennia a smile and nodding.
Brennia looked joyous and offered an amazed gasp, "Beautiful!" She comes to her friends side, linking arms together as they started down he path towards her castle, "I bet you just worked up and appetite. I bet Zachael whipped up something delicious for us back home." She hinted that her offer still stands for Casy and Sandra to rest her head in her castle, occupying Sebias' room if she wished. Once there she would give her the grand tour of the place.

Brennia's Miniature Castle
After finding your way through the Topiary Garden it would only be fitting to come upon a building which looks like a section taken right out of any castle in the same style as all of Schezerade, in all it's decadence; marble forming the entirety of the large home accented with gold and platinum in which you'll have to cross over a glass bridge in order to reach it. The front door is welcoming for all shapes and sizes that are the citizens of Hollow and spans a great distance in it's solid French Door of a design. Opening it up one might be perplexed at the ability for the home to hold such music coming from the main room there, provided the owner of the home is present. Once immersed, the eyes might be stolen by the gaping cathedral ceilings above, spotted by gold and platinum in which encircle mini glowing stones to mimic the night sky, but beauty is not what the ceiling is for; it carries one's voice in the ear most pleasing fashion. The walls of the room have shelves carved into the marble upon nearly every wall of this vast oval-shaped room, but the walls are shelves, carved into small squares. Each square hold scrolls to nearly any song someone might wish to hear and it should be clear now that a bard lives here; explains the marvelous white-wood, gold-accented, concert grand piano in the middle of this large room.
Nearing further into the tiny castle one's nostrils might pick up on the scent of mouth watering food being cooked wafting from the kitchen which is north of the main room and it also holds a small, but elegant dining area. In the corner of this kitchen there is a winding staircase which travels below and is illuminated as if gold is to be kept down there. If you wish to stay and listen to the bard or wait for her to emerge there are luxurious sofas strewn about with the softest throw blankets and plushy cushions, but be careful; an unsettling feeling may overcome you as your eyes spot a locked door, which houses a staircase to take you up, with an outreaching design in onyx stone overlay which seemingly inking over into the pristine luxury you’ve found yourself in. It's as if the area beyond holds a darkness that's attempting to leak out into this little slice of heaven… Better just leave that door alone.
A white concert grand piano is here.
Zachaël, wearing a chef's hat is here.
Whine Cellair
Traversing your way around and around in the winding staircase might leave you a little apprehensive to step onto the glass floor at the bottom, as it looks void of solidity and gives you the feeling of flying over the clouds that drift through Hollow. This cellar is fully stocked with any wine you could imagine from Chardonnay to Viognier and Cabernet Sauvignon to Zinfandel; all bottles neatly tucked into diamond shaped nooks which are carved into these golden walls and a plethora of racks. It is a beauty to behold, but if you wandered down here on the false promise that there are mountains of gold below by reason of the illumination, then you are sadly mistaken. The room is only clad in a thin layer of gold. Find what you please and if it's harder drink you seek I would recommend the cabinet with the alchemical snake above it holding extra stilled scotch with light citrus, brine and smokey sweetness on the tongue. Maybe try the cabinet with the dragon depicted above it containing specially crafted whisky offering a rich burst of flavor, with a palate of soft honey and deliciously nutty toffee (strong stuff here, I do not recommend to those faint of heart.) Possible vampire? Try the bureau with the image of a bat offering many liquors with rare types of bloods mixed in them, I would recommend steering clear of the brandy in this one though. Pay no mind to the Osmium shackles attached to a desolate corner of the cellar, you don't want to try them out, do you? Venturing deeper through the maze of wine racks and beer casks until you come across deep purple drapes with a golden willow tree and air symbol sewn into the fabric, for it's an enchantress's corner to dabble in her apothecary. Here you will find a myriad of any and every ingredient known to all Hollowites, rarity no issue, but the glamorous sight of all the decadent potion bottles against the golden cellar may entice one to give any a try to just see what might happen…. I dare you.
Pair of Osmium Shackles is here.
The Favored Wing
Oh, you have a key? Congratulations! You will find that although this hall way is the opposite of the warmth you just left, it isn't lacking in the same opulence. While making your way through the candle lit corridor you see numerous doors with different insignia on each of them; a dragon, a snake, a skull, a chef's hat and one left blank. Rest assured that each of the rooms are finely tailored to each of her pets' needs along with their own wash rooms. Finally reaching the large room at the end, it is conjoined by it's own luxurious powder room and the scheme is dark from the onyx stone, accented with gold. The entire atmosphere offers a warm seduction to the senses, but are you friendly enough to await the Avain in her large downy bed colored in the deepest red blankets and view blocking canopy? If not, there are sofas by the wet bar which holds an odd number of bloods from different races, Avian wine, black-fire wine, and specially crafted whisky. Through the circular stained glass door, which depicts a rather gruesome scene, you might find yourself in a certain island paradise on this vast balcony; warm bottomless sand, a few palm trees and a second wet bar which holds expertly crafted scotch, strawberry wine, Avian champagne and orange juice. If you lounge on one of the hammocks out there, relax and have a drink, you will find it does really feel like an island with the sun so bright and the seemingly endless view of blue.
Casandra :: Cassy giggled when Bre nearly dragged her away to bring her to the castle. When she was shown around the place, she was amazed just as much as she had been with the large garden. Especially the cellar and the glass floor, which had scared her the first time she had taken a step on it without realizing that it wasn't just a sheer drop; Brennia wasn't wrong though. She had worked up a bit of a hunger. She didn't have much practice when it came to herbomancy so it took a bit out of her every time she used it. Even for small tasks such as reviving a patch of flowers.
Brennia sideways glanced Cassy with an affectionate smile when she had giggled, it was a sound she liked and wanted to hear more of. "You could definitely train in the Topiary garden since it's just sculpted shrubbery." Brennia gestured about the Whine Cellair, "If you would like any spirits to drink you have your pick of anything down here." She taps the Dragon cabinet, "This collection was for Sebias. Take what you like." She smile was bittersweet. "And then we can go dine." She slips though the maze of wine rack shelves and grabs herself a dark bottle of wine.
Casandra :: Cassy looked at the assortment of spirits and alcohol but didn't choose anything. She wasn't a drinker like Sandra or the mean dragon that once held her company. Though she will admit. She did miss him from time to time Just a little bit. Making her way through the maze, still wary of the glass floor. When she came upon the stairs leading back to the common area, she looked to Brennia and asked gently, "Is there something bothering you? You seemed a bit off all night."
Brennia leads her through the opulent music room which is a close resemblance to a ball room and once they approach the kitchen Casy might notice the enchantment which blocks sounds and smells to be shared through the archway. She sits herself at the dining table before motioning to the seats for her friend to pick on at her leisure. Once they were both comfortable, Zachael would place a plate of deliciously seasoned food before them. "I am well… I keep a peculiar set of friends and it makes me seem like a cynical or callous person, but those under my affections are cared for and loved… Which makes me worry and miss them when they vanish without a trace… I guess I know how it feels as I've done the same thing in the past: Rushing off to my home to find answers and more than one occasion… I am relieved to find you, well, but I am still worried of my p-… One of my lovers, Sebias." She begins to cut the entre before her and savor the delicious craft.
Casandra :: Cassy smiled at the thought that Brennia was worried about her and the fact that she would have taken care of her had the need arise. Though the little bit of info of her other lovers made her kind of sad. Did they really have a bad affect on her? If so, why was she with them still? She hadn't started to eat right away, partly to curiosity and the other awe at the whole tower itself. Hunger soon got the better of her. A single bite told her just how great the cook was and just how much effort was put into it. No doubt that it must have cost a fortune.
Brennia allows a moment for the pair to eat and sip on her wine… After a good portion of the food was enjoyed she hummed softly and said something in her native tongue (French sounding) to Zachael, offering praise, but nearly every word she uttered in that language sounded like sex itself. Her soft smile turns to Casy, "I'm not entirely ran through with worry or guilt as I know these people to be fighters and survivors. I just wonder - what if they are in trouble somewhere and someone just needs to look… You know?" Her deep blues glistened with hope as the fixated on the woman's face in appreciating the beauty, "So… Tell me of your newest friends." A friendly gesture to reach (over or across depending on the seated situation) and caress over her friend's hand. Cassy would find the woman's touch silky and warm like an expensive blanket.
Casandra :: Cassy smiled at the touch, finding it to be soothing. She was happy to hear that it wasn't all that bad at least. She had faith in their return and was even worried enough for them to still care. The language she had spoken had been a strange one yet she found that she enjoyed the sound of it. Heavenly, is what she would describe it. But that was Cassy. "Oh, there isn't a whole lot... but there is Rorin. A sweet boy. But very troubled... and Pilar." She had a light blush when she mentioned her and looked away for a second before turning back to Brennia, "She and I spend the most time together if I'm not taking care of anything." She admitted
Brennia crossed one leather legging clad leg over the other, the name, 'Pilar' sounded familiar, but she cannot put a face to it and she even made a soft "Aw" when Cassy looked away with a blush. Brennia leans in a bit, "Is this, Pilar, a special someone?" Brennia held her wine goblet close to her plump lips with her free hand as she takes a sip while the other hand continues to caress over the woman's hand, even up to the top of her wrist area. As the same time the wing closest to her friends unfolded just slightly, just as hypnotic as their first encounter, emitting her favorite scent and reflecting those deep blues and forest greens as if saying 'It will all be okay. Just become lost in me and feel me.'
Casandra :: Unlike their first encounter where Sandra had came out when things started getting this way, only a flash of emerald showed before Cassy was virtually putty in her hands. Sandra thought that it was time for Cassy to have a bit of new. Wherever that may come. Cassy stammered a bit but finally managed a "Y-yes. Very special." The blush reddened and she stopped herself from going into greater details about their relationship. It felt wrong discussing that in front of another.
Brennia's brow furrowed in worry when she didn't go into detail on her crush or love interest, "Does Pilar think you are special to?" Her smile was offered, gentle and kind just as she added, "She should…" She set her wine goblet down gently as she ceased her caressing and stood while offering her hand down palm side up to help her friend stand as well. If she would accept in standing with the Avian, Brennia would lead her back into the main room with the piano and sitting area, arm linked through Cassy's. Once near the fire and a few plushy elegant forms of furniture Brennia would take a seat, leaving room for her friend to sit with her if Cassy chose to.
Casandra :: Cassy would, of course, follow Brennia wherever she took her. She trusted her that much. When they sat Cassy quickly verified, "Of course! She- we spend so much time together. Even... shared a bed." That was the part she was embarrassed to say. Not ashamed by it. And yes, this was Cassy and Pilar. Sandra had nothing to do with it surprisingly. She looked away and lightly bit her lip, slightly embarrassed to admit such an act and in front of Brennia no less. She just wasn't used to being so open about that sort of thing
Brennia affectionately and confidently reached out to tuck a lock of Cassy's hair behind Cassy's ear with an accepting smile, "That is very special, indeed." She praised, hopefully eroding over any unease she felt about having feelings about another woman. "I like women, too… Us as the stronger half of these beings are very alluring, indeed." Brennia placed a hand in Cassy's lap, "There are never any judgement's here, Cassy…. In fact… I have two empty rooms at the moment if you ever need anything you can always come running to me." Her words were soft and sultry in almost a lullaby.
Casandra :: Cassy's face went completely red when Brennia made the suggestion and from the contact on her leg. "I... I- I don't know. I mean, of course I would come to y-you! I just..." She trailed off again, very flustered at how open Brennia had been with her suggestions. But it was hard not to admit that she was very alluring indeed. She went to say something but with a slow blink, an emerald hue replaced her gaze. "Sorry for the interruption. But I'm going to have to say no on her part. She doesn't need to get into any sort of mess with this relationship she has with Pilar. No offence, but she is too easily manipulated." Sandra gave a half cocked smile before leaning in to whisper into Brennia's ear, "But that doesn't mean I'm not willing to play," Then leaned back with the smile still there.
Brennia's face didn't cower away from Sandra, but was welcomed, "Well, I just want her to feel just as welcomed as you are, Sandra… Her and her Pilar. I've no intentions on getting in the way of that…" Brennia's hand was gently and slowly moving up on Sandra's thigh, "I just want to feed the two of you… And make sure you two have a place to sleep… There is always Sebias' room, fit for a dragon and all of his slaves or lovers. Or the door with the blank crest on the front… It would be up to you." Her hand inches higher and higher with that warm soft caress. "And Cassy… Would you like something to drink, Sandra?" When talking to Sandra her sultry alto tone became thicker and that smirk became a bit more devious and suggestive.
Casandra :: Sandra gave a small laugh and gave a nod. "Prepared for just about everything aren't you?" She leaned into the woman's touch, just loving the way Brennia gets when Sandra comes on out. Like her special little playmate. "I'm sure we'll be spending some nights here. The nights get so lonely sometimes." She said in light exaggeration before looking over the Avian. "Well, I'll admit there is something I wouldn't mind having a drink of, but for now, lets keep it to bottles. See where that takes us." She asks for one of the more stronger drinks in Sebias' case. Seeing that she had some sort of right to it. They were close enough right?
Brennia softly called over her shoulder to Zachael like a coo in that seductive language they share and he disappears down into the cellar. Brennia scoots closer until there is no space left between them before Zachael quickly returned with Sebias' special whisky brew and glasses for pouring, he also brought Brennia more wine before leaving them. Brennia's scent would be so close and possibly change to whatever Sandra's favorite scent is. Brennia leans a bit over Sandra to reach where the whisky was, giving Sandra a nice view down Brennia's blouse before offering the whisky glass to her friend. "Does this work?" Brennia didn't care that she was very close, they have done this before, Sandra is familiar.
Casandra :: Sandra took in the scent with a little more subtlety than Cassy had, but the appreciation for it was still the same. The view even more so. Of which Sandra didn't make any attempts at hiding. There was a difference to the two in her opinion. She wasn't big on touchy feelie. Unless you were talking about bodies. "This should work very well," Taking the whiskey, she didn't wait on Bre to take a drink. It was different then what she had had recently. "He has fine taste, I'll give him that," She teased before taking another and placing it back down. "So," she said simply while looking to her out the corner of her eye.
Brennia boldly leaned into Sandra to plant a supple kiss on the woman's lips after she took a drink and she sits up on her knees on the couch placing those assets directly into Casasndra's view while looking down at her, "So?" There was a short and soft chuckle, "So, lets go test out these rooms and see which one you like best?" She asked with a tilt of her head, causing those long silky back tendrils to dangle about her form. Brennia lifted the whisky bottle before sauntering away, giving her a perfect view of her other asset while she was making her way to the Favored wing.
Casandra :: Sandra returned the kiss then watched the beauties rise, then disappear from sight, only to be replaced with a new set of eye candy for her. With a devious grin she got up and followed after her. She knew there was a reason she loved this woman so much. Always so much fun! Quickly catching up to her, she couldn't pass up the chance to cop a feel while looking to each of the room's door. "Let's see if they can keep up with our standards shall we?" She asked after turning to nip the tip of the avian's ear.
