The mess hall was lively as it ever was this morning. The residents of the sanctuary were always eagerly in the mess hall first thing of a morning. The smell of freshly cooked food wafted through the hall, and the idle chatter of lively conversation filled her ears. Most people seemed to enjoy the breakfast and morning, eating and conversing with the rest of the others in the Sanctuary. Most were friendly, chatting away or otherwise keeping to themselves.

Flying above the others, was a lone Aetheri with what appeared to be an apple in her grasp. Normally she'd be causing some small mischief or weaving a tale of one of her many adventures either fictional or not, but today was different. She had maybe overheard something about new arrivals from a certain Bradamante. Now [i]they[/i] were going to be such a fun to play with! New victims - ahem, friends, to share some fun with. She just had to make sure to arrive and intercept them before that cold hunk of metal did and she could give them the grand tour herself, heh!

[color=598527]"Morning R!"[/color] She said, zipping right past the master of the Sanctuary. [color=598527]"Bye R!~"[/color] She flew off with a giggle before he could say anything, a telltale sign she was probably up to no good.

In all honestly, this place was great. Not just for her own entertainment, but it was such a happy, yet mildly somber place. The people were warm, gentle, and friendly, and most were just lost souls looking for a place to call home. She liked to think she made their time here a little more lively and entertaining, heh! As she approached the front gates, the Aetheri landed on top of the painting, using its frame as a seat and placing the apple next to her.

Now to wait for them to enter and play with them.

Today was going to be fun indeed.
