Vhalar 1, Arc 721
“So, this is the place?“ Hannah asked and looked at the house in front of which they had just stopped with curiosity. It was a fairly big villa that was made of white stone, with two floors, balconies and a small garden that was surrounded by a wall. She could see an apple tree from where she was standing, as well as something that appeared to be a greenhouse.
“This is it”, Tristan said to his bodyguard before he turned to his little daughter Ayla who was staring at the new place open-mouthed, a doll in one hand, and the leash of her four-eyed dog Fluffy in the other hand. “This is our home, at least for the near future. You can pick your room, and if you want to, I’ll have a playhouse built in the garden.”
Ayla’s eyes lit up when she heard that. A moment later, the expression on her face turned more serious again though, and she wanted to know, “Will Koral and Chester get their own rooms as well?”
When she heard that, Koral, the Tunawa companion that Tristan had acquired in Melrath peeked out from under the young man’s shirt where she had spent the journey because it was nice and warm and comfortable there and turned her head so that she could look him in the eyes.
“Of course”, Tristan said and inclined his head. “I don’t think that any of the furniture that is currently in the house is Tunawa-sized, but I’ll have a little Tunawa house installed – if that’s what you want?” he added and looked at Koral questioningly. No matter how young or small someone was, he would ask everybody for their opinion.
“I’d love to, but I’d rather not sleep in the same room as Mistral”, she told him and shuddered a little. After she had nearly been eaten by another cat, Musablot, in Melrath (Tristan had saved her life back then!) she wasn’t particularly fond of Tristan’s feline friend. He hadn’t tried to eat her so far, but still, had she had known that Mistral had been called a failed necromantic experiment once, she would have agreed wholeheartedly!
A moment later, when she surveyed the new property, the look on her face changed from worry to one of pure excitement though. “Look! There’s an actual greenhouse!” she exclaimed as she had finally noticed it. Koral loved gardening almost as much as Tristan did.
“I will make sure that Mistral stays away from your room”, Tristan promised before he turned to answer the second part of Ayla’s question. “I’m not sure if Chester needs a room, being a diri, but if he says that he wants one, I’ll make sure that he has a place of his own”, he promised, because the diri was an important a member of his household in his opinion.
“Let’s go in though, shall we?” he asked. Everybody agreed enthusiastically. Even Mistral who was in a carrier on the cart that Brandon, Tristan’s other bodyguard was pulling (Tristan had most of their possessions sent to Rharne ahead of their arrival so that they only had to bring a little now.) meowed. He couldn’t wait to finally leave this pesky thing!
