A young woman smiles at you, trying to take some of the fear out of her arrival.

HI! Welcome! Please, come in! Or out... Sorry I startled you, I was up on the top of the other tower when you came out.

The girl lets out a little chuckle, turning to give you a clear view of the courtyard in front of you. It isn’t until then that you really notice the wings on her back.

Well... This is my part of the castle, just finished a few days ago. I’m glad you got to see it, I was assigned guard duty before Baneth hatched and it was so tiring to tell everyone to turn around and go back. This Castle really is amazing and those of us in the new addition can finally share it with you.

Even though I’ve been here for over a year, I still don't have much in the way of belongings. I have a virtual scrapbook over on the bookshelf... Oh... Let me show you where it is...

The woman walks over to a bout the middle of the courtyard and points to the wall that creeps around the edge. Originally it looked like it was built simply to keep those without wings from falling off, but a closer look reveals a single shelf built in. The shelf reaches all the way around the courtyard, from what you can tell and has a protective covering that blends in with the stone.

That keeps everything dry when it rains. I like living out here much more than the room I had before. If I can’t make it home before the sun rises, I find one of those stones to spend the day on, and if Broadway or Lexington or Brooklyn or my father, Goliath come visiting with me on any day, they have this shelf to use and plenty of space for daybreak.

If you'd like, I can show you the scrapbook. I’ve been looking forward to playing my music and testing out the sound system built into the stones. I think we’re planning to hold outside Celebrations up here.

She gives a playful wink, as if she isn’t supposed to mention anything about that for now, then motions to the towers on either side of the courtyard.
