After a warm welcome by the Duchess María, Isabelle and Ethan were escorted to their guest room. The room was a big room, with a double bed, nightstands on each side of the bed. There was also a table, for the moment filled with food and wine to welcome the guests, and two comfortable chairs.
Isabelle turned to Ethan with a smile.*
"Well, here we are. Do you like it?"

Ethan's eyes twinkled.
"Like it?" he repeated, dumbfounded. "Oh, I truly believe the word 'like' would not suffice to describe... this, Miss Isabelle.
"Nor are there words enough to describe your beauty."
He averted his gaze from the lavish room to the young woman.

Isabelle smiled when she saw his twinkling eyes, glad to surprise him.
"I'm glad you like it, Monsieur Ethan...."
She blushed and lowered her gaze when he mentioned her beauty, and her heart skipped a beat. Then she lifted her gaze shyly and looked into his eyes.
"You're.... not too bad yourself...."

"Why, thank you. Although I have never thought of myself as exceedingly handsome."
He casually wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Would you mind giving me a tour, perhaps?"

Isabelle blushed deeply when he wrapped his arm around her waist. She couldn't help but thinking what her parents would have said if they saw that. She had a feeling they would have disapproved. Her heart beat faster and she placed her arm around his waist as well. She met his gaze.
"O-of course."
She stuttered.
"Please come with me...."
Still with her arm around his waist, she led him out in the corridor.
"This castle was built a couple of centuries back, when the nobles had their own courts. So this castle has a lot more rooms than needed. There are 25 floors here, and over 500 rooms. Most of the rooms on this floor are guest rooms, with connecting bathrooms. But there is also a library here, and a work room. The dining hall is two floors down."
They were in the end of a small corridor now, and it was half dark. His arm was still around her waist, and she was standing close to him, feeling the warmth of his body against hers. Blushing she looked up at him, and her hazel eyes were glittering. She didn't notice how close her lips were to his.
"Do you want me to show you all the rooms in the castle?"

"Yes, please."
Ethan followed submissively, his fingers gently stroking Isabelle's waist.

Isabelle breathed deeply as she felt his fingers stroking her waist. Her heart beat faster and she trembled. With blushing cheeks, she led him around in the castle, showing him every room. They had found rooms for any historic happening on earth. Rooms furnitured with things from the time the former residents inhabitated the castle. A lot of items from other parts of the world. A lot of books, paintings, statues and other pieces of art. With each room, Isabelle went even closer to Ethan, her heart beating, her cheeks blushing, and her eyes twinkling like stars. ((This is the dress Isabelle is wearing))

((She must shop at the same places as Nightfall. And sorry, but I couldn't resist crashing since they were going through the whole castle. Just let me know if it's a problem.)) *Will walked into the library, surprised to see new faces.* "Oh!" *He exclaimed, not the most monumental of thoughts, but he hadn't expected anyone.* "Forgive me. I did not know that Maria...I mean, her Grace...was expecting anyone." *He bowed stiffly, looking out of practice. And dead. In the sense that his skin was rather sallow and dull looking. He wasn't rotting, but it was apparent he wasn't normal.*

((She does Honestly, I couldn't download the dress I really wanted for Isabelle, so I was forced to use this picture instead. I don't mind the least that Will meet the couple )) *Isabelle blushed and jumped away from Ethan. She ran her fingers quickly through her hair and straightened her dress a little, then she smiled and reached out her hand in a greeting.* "Oh, forgive me. I thought we were alone here. My name is Isabelle d'Angoulême, and I'm a distant relative of María. This is a friend of mine, Ethan. We have recently arrived, and now we are doing the tour of the castle." *She smiled charmingly, interested in the people around her as always.* "I had no idea that María was housing such charming residents, or I would have arrived sooner." *She joked.* "Who are you, Monsieur?"

*Well she was taking it rather well. He took her hand, his own rather cool and clammy.*
"Will. Will Shakespeare. And I didn't mean to..." *He glanced between them.* "...interrupt anything."

*Isabelle noticed his cool and clammy hands, but wrote it off to the somewhat chilly rooms in the uninhabited rooms of the castle.*
"Nice to meet you, Monsieur Will Shakespeare. Your name is very lyric. You wouldn't happen to be a writer?"
*She blushed and looked over at Ethan with twinkling eyes.*
"Oh, you didn't interrupt anything.... yet."
*She chuckled with laughter and winked playfully at the gentlemen.*

*Will looked slightly unnerved.*
"I...I used to write. A long time ago." *He started to back up.*
"But I can leave you two to...whatever I didn't interrupt."

*Isabelle looked over at him, her eyes glittering with humor.*
"Have you been a houseguest here for long, Monsieur Will? Perhaps you can recommend any of the rooms here at the castle for us? For sightseeing."
*She added the last words quickly, and with a glimpse of humor in her eyes.*

"Not that long." *Will answered rather flatly, looking to the other man.*
"I'm sure you two will manage."
((I'm going to let him get a word in.))

*Isabelle looked over at Ethan as well, smiling to him. There was a twinkle in her eyes, but she didn't say anything. If he wanted to know what was on her mind, he would have to guess.* ((Ok with me ))
