While Aban was gone, Eden prepared their home for two people. She made up a study area for him, then laid out the blankets into a fairly large pile so Aban would not feel the ground he was laying on. Taking advantage of the privacy, Eden also changed into a floor length, silk dress. It had no back and no sleeves, but it was Eden's favorite and she loved the way it moved as she walked. Just as well, the witch pulled her hair up so it stayed out of her way.. As the day drew to a close, Eden began looking through her library on one wall, pulling down books she wanted Aban to look through, a cauldron in the middle of the floor bubbled happily.
