*Sorcha took his hand and got out of the carriage, pushing back the hood of her cloak. In the time that had passed since her revelation, she'd allowed some of the dye to fade from her hair, and it had just about grown to her chin, now merely a darker shade of brownish-red all over than it had been before.*

*Sorcha just laughed and looped her arm through his as they went inside. The great empty foyer made her voice echo slightly.*
"It's gorgeous!" *she said with a grin.* "And it's just for us!"

"Yes. Just us." *He pulled her closer to his side and kissed her temple.*

"I haven't played house in years," *she admitted.* "Do we pretend to have tea or do we pretend to teach my brothers and sisters their alphabet, first?"

"See there's the thing. We aren't pretending." *He teased.* "We've got the whole house to ourselves for the whole summer."

*Sorcha laughed.*
"What shall we do first, then? Explore the house? Go for a walk?"

"I say we christen every room. Twice."
"We could... explore and then take a walk?"

((Damn boys and their one track minds...))
"Alright," *Sorcha glanced around.* "Which way do we go, first?"

*He looked around the hall, frowning.*
"Er... left?" *He suggested, pointing to the East.*
((The house faces North so that makes sense.))

((Okay.))
*Sorcha marched off in that direction, discovering a parlour full of furniture covered in white dust cloths. She drew aside the curtains, coughing and waving away the dust that swirled on the sun beams.*

*He chuckled as she sneezed.*
"It hasn't been lived in for forty years. We only check in on it sometimes... it's bound to be a little... yeah, dusty."
