The place is decorated in summery colors of light aquas, lavender, sunny yellows, bright corals, and lush greens. There were large bouquets of white flowers, with green sprigs of ferns. There was a small stage set up, a microphone, and a music setup. It did not appear there would be a live band playing. It was possible that it was planned, or the weather had prevented anyone from coming to the island. There were fairy lights strung around arches in front of each of the doors in and out of the room. Several high tables were placed around the room, leaving room in the center for dancing. Overall, the decorations were beautiful, it wasn’t over the top, but subtle and charming.

He went into his room and changed out of his wet clothes. He didn’t think he had time to shower; he also shared his bathroom with Brendan and wasn’t certain if he would need it. So he just quickly used the toilet and cleaned up a bit before changing into dry and clean clothing. He didn’t think getting into the party clothes made sense yet. So he went for something more informal. He waited in the hall for Rhi. Once they joined him, he headed for the bar. Ralph wasn’t exactly sure where they would find the older man, but the family seemed to gather in the bar area. Richard wasn’t in there, but it wasn’t hard to find him as he was sitting in the next room, the library. The library and the bar were off from each other. The library further led into the center of the building, the ballroom. The library had a spiral staircase reaching up to the second floor. This second floor was not accessible. A lock on the door at the top of the stairs. Interesting. The room had floor-to-ceiling shelving and a few places to sit and read in comfortable light. There was a large fireplace, currently unlit, at one end of the room. Richard sat near it, possibly just a habit for the colder days when the fire would be lit. His head came up from the book he was reading when the pair of them entered. [color=dae8c1]”Hello, Richard, I’m Ralph, this is Rhi. I was wondering if we could talk with you for a little bit.”[/color] Richard gestured to the chair across from him. He lifted a glass of what might have been scotch and raised it to them, taking a sip. “Please, do. Welcome to our home,” he said genially.
