Anatole watches through the front door's window, and sees the back of Oliver's head, with Ram's forceful strength demanding answers. From around the pair, the Smith keeps an eye on the area, or as much of one as he can, and doesn't see anything (besides Ram) disrupting the silence of the ruined cul-da-sac.
Ram, makes his demands. Anatole watching on, "Th-the bloodsuckle laid waste to the rest of the houses! Pruning it back cost the others their lives!" Oliver wails, "I am here alone, alone because of that fiend! G-guarding my Queen's library! An-an-and you! You ha-have the nerve to lie to me about my Queen. Who has given me this task! I have been here for months! Months! Months since the Christmas of 2016, where now I stand sentry, alone, after burying what little the bloodsuckle rejected of my friends." he blubbers out, words chosen to make him seem unaffected but, his stuttering was telling. As was the Autumn who didn't reach for the Courtly Contracts to bar against Fear.
Gerrit moves through the house, on silent feet with a task given to him by his fellow Winter, he crosses the room, to open the door. The knob turns, and as the door swings open, a hallway is revealed. Very particularly average in width for a hallway, with one door, closed at the end of the hall. Two doors, closed as well, on the left side, and one more closed door on the right. The right side door would have fit perfectly between the two on the left were they all on the same side.
Cassandra met with the siren call of knowledge meticulously sorts through that lay inside the hutch. The majority of what she find in this hutch are simple mundane knickknacks, there are a few novels as well, but underneath those there are things that are decidedly not of a mundane nature. There is a book that seems to be about basics of cultivating specific goblin fruits, which matches the vase in front of it which seems to have a good handful of dried Blushberries inside of it. Another tome on Hedge weather and how the Seasonal Cycle effect it, and one full book on the Bloodsuckle. Shoved into a nook is a large, dried out humanfaced hobfly. Another thing that she finds is a small corked bottle filled with fingernails.
Sadly there doesn't seem to be more of what she's looking for in this hutch.
If my wrist was up for it I'd try and draw out the house, but as it's not, we have words!
House layout (so far)
front door, entrance way with a closet directly across from the door. To the right is the sitting room, north from the sitting room is the kitchen, to the right of the sitting room is the formally closed door, which leads to the hallway. The hallway has four doors. Two on the Left, one on the Right and the last directly across from the open doorway.
Also! If you want to take back any goodies and put them into your Court's Hollow (or to your sheet)you will need to spend the XP to keep them, or else they will go poof. If it's to say we have Queen Anne stuffs, for future Plots then then they cannot be used for anything other then that
