Graceful Descent

[Victor Steiner]

Certainly. Please follow me. While his younger compatriot wandered away to attend other affairs the older man led her through a few of the various sections of the house. Some corridors were lined with great artworks or historic books. A few glass frames contained plants from other parts of Sirius, forever preserved to be admired even though they had long since died. Some rooms were servants quarters, others were libraries or studies. One was a child's room. As the pair walked the music grew louder and clearer until they approached the source of it, a inconspicuous little room with the door ever so slightly ajar.

The older servant knocked before opening the door, bowed his head slightly and spoke Lady Corvus to see you sir. He stood aside before walking behind her and leaving. Closing the door as he went. The room was oddly small, or perhaps it seemed that way as it was dominated by a grand piano at it's center. The Walls were less wall and more window as the room took in the sunlight from all angles, including above, courtesy of a skylight. Beside the door a desk, which had a half poured Scotch on top if it, joined by an empty glass and bottle itself.

Victor peered around the piano to see his guest. Rather underwhelming when compared to the places and people you have seen I imagine. Nevertheless it is our home and you are welcome in it. How was your trip?
