    Campanella has installed a small fridge for (some of) his wine. Its in a comfy little spot he picked out especially for that purpose, in the gleaming kitchen of the old theatre that Nidhogg's Bane claim as their bastion. The building has had a long association with the Awakened of Sacramento - being the home of one Cabal after another.

    Tradition and continuity in the face of change. The Moros liked that idea very much.

    The theatre is still a big and draughty building; Campanella likes that very much in this eventful and super heated summer. It might explain why he has retreated there to escape the heat of the day and the prying eyes of his Sleeper neighbours - his apartment is in the beating heart of the city, where the concrete canyons make the blistering heat nigh unbearable.

    Campanella has just opened a bottle of red.

    Oxidation.

    For iron: Bad
    For alcohol (specifically wine in this case): Variable

    Hence the cork. Just enough permeability to allow some Oxygen and prevent an anaerobic environment. But not so much that the carefully crafted liquid is ruined.

    The sound of its release from a glass neck? Unmistakable.

    "Mind if I join you?"

    The sweet, fragrant smells of roses mixed with lilacs emanate from her as she casts magic. The scent intensifies, bordering on intoxicating, when Life magic is cast. When Aurora casts Vulgar magic, the scent takes a nasty turn, to the putrid, nauseating odor of a rotting corpse. The stronger the magic, the more those around want to retch at the smell.

    It had been hot. She didn’t do well in heat, and so she hadn’t ventured out much. Evenings were her go to time for getting out and about.

    So while siting in front of a half stripped of paint dresser and after hearing voices, was quick to drop the sand paper and investigate.

    She walks into the room, paint flecks sticking to her arms and dust in her hair and smiles.

    “Thought I heard a voice!”

    Campanella to Sand: "By all means. I have more."

    He gestures to the shiny new object in the room, his mini bar refrigerator stacked with bottles.

    Aurora appears and the Moros makes a welcoming "ah" sound.

    "You look busy. Might I suggest refreshment is in order?"

    Without even waiting for the Thyrsus' assent, Campanella goes hunting for glasses.

    "Ah- now that is a good idea. I should probably see about commissioning Aurora for a liquor cabinent..."

    Speaking = summoning.

    "Two in fact," confirmed with a smile.

    Waiting for Campanella's return, a gesture to offer aid in pouring (less due to need and more due to manners).

    "You do- whatcha working on if I may ask?"

    She looked busy? It was at that point she glanced down at herself and the pain chips and dust that clung to her.

    Chuckling, “Refreshments sound perfect! Thank you!” she replies as she moves to take a seat. Which felt better then sitting on the ground. A lot better.

    “Oh just a dresser I found in desperate need of a makeover.” She was finding herself focusing more on refurbishing than anything else lately.

    “What’ve you guys been up to? Anything new and exciting?”

    "Nothing from me. The last of Claus estate has been put away and thankfully, there was nothing else for us to worry about. I fell sad about it all, he was a good friend. I haven't been able to get to much else." Apart from Order business.

    Campanella replied a little dolefully.

    Up to the point he took up his glass again.

    "Are you going to keep it as a dresser?" Internet said dressers were now bookshelves or terrariums or planters as often as dressers.

    "Claus Estate?" Pitched tone at end for question, overall volume quiet. Curiosity =/= worth opening an upsetting situation.

    A head shake, "Sadly no. The summer heat has me lazy as a schoolchild."

    Accepting a glass of wine when it was ready, “While I’m glad there is nothing else to worry about, the loss for you is still saddening. Did you know him long?” seemed like an innocent enough question to her. But she wouldn’t pry.

    “And before I forget,” she points to the wine fridge, “when did you get that? I must really be in my own world lately.” A light chuckle and shake of her head.

    Then a nod, “I need simple. I’ve been focusing so much time and effort into studying Life, I needed something mindless. Plus, I’m looking to get out of the performing business.” A shrug.

    “Not sure yet. Usually when I’m refurbishing I don’t have a clear end piece in mind. Why? Did you need a dresser or something else?” she’d totally give it to Sand if she wanted it.

    She decides to let Campy handle the question about the Claus Estate.

    “Nothing wrong with that, especially with that heat! I’d much rather stay inside. Though it does make me wish we had a pool.”
    That’d be awesome.

    "Yes. Claus worked in the same line of business as I do. He had... some unfortunate articles in his possession which I had to organise the removal of. Awakened material. Aurora helped with that. As for your other question - I knew him largely by reputation till I settled here. We were friendly enough - though it will be a pity I never got to match wits with him in a professional setting..."

    The Moros sighed.

    "He is in no condition to work now, let alone part any veils."

    The developing conversation around the dresser seemed much more interesting. He shifted in his seat to get a better view of the two interlocutors and contentedly sipped his wine.
