Allye/Residences/Magnolia Manor
[Magnolia Corner, Blossom Circle]
One particularly large tree rests in the middle of the path, forcing the pavers to split the line of cobble in two to accommodate the trunk's breadth. Laden with pristine white blossoms, the magnolia's branches extend far over the rooftops of several nearby houses. Local birds twitter noisily above, concealed by the leaves. You also see a tidy cat, a stately white marble manor with clusters of budding pink amaryllis along the path to the door and a wooden gate within a tall boxwood hedge.
Obvious paths: northeast, northwest.
>look cat Many cats haunt Riverhaven's alleys, but tidy cat is certainly not one of them. She's obviously been pampered from day one, and her pristinely groomed fur is redolent with the fragrance of the magnolia trees sheltering her home turf. Her brilliant sky-blue eyes shine like glass amidst the fluffy mass of clean white fur, and her blushing pink nose and haughty demeanor give her all the charm of a pretty princess on her wedding day.
Darling creature! A fine specimen of her species.
>pet cat You pet tidy cat. Your fingers feel like they are stroking a cloud! What a pleasant treat.
Tidy cat purrs loudly!
A few magnolia petals flutter down from the branches above, and one tickles your face on its way to the ground.
>move manor You walk through the door of a stately white marble manor.
[Magnolia Manor, Tea Room]
Pale pink rose-stenciled walls and a tamboti floor of parquet tiles set in a fan pattern covered by a gold and black tasseled rug enclose this room. In one corner lies a rich black cashmere sofa, and near the sofa sits a rolling drop-leaf tea cart skillfully crafted from burnished ribbon-stripe on which rests a gold-flecked coralite teapot covered in delicately inked pink roses. An elegant alabaster fireplace with matching urns burns along the far wall with a whimsical ink drawing of a merry-looking Halfling woman hanging above it. The room holds a strong scent of brewing tea. You also see a black-and-white tuxedo cat, a rich black cashmere armchair that is facing the window, a rich black cashmere armchair that is facing the fireplace, a rich black cashmere armchair that is facing the fireplace, a rich black cashmere armchair that is facing the sofa and a wide ribbon-stripe sideboard with cup pulls in the shape of blossoming peonies with a few things on it.
