Magnolia Manor, Riverhaven
[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 hall with a heart-shaped wreath of maize and dried flowers on its front 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!
[Magnolia Manor, Sitting Room]
High silver-bordered walls and a polished walnut floor covered by a gold-edged blue floral carpet enclose this room. In one corner lies an elegant ivory velvet settee, and near the settee sits a graceful oval lacewood tea table on which rests a three-tiered tea chest constructed from lustrous apricot wood. A darkened oak mantel fireplace burns along the far wall with an idyllic painting set in a lush garden scene hanging above it. The room holds a lingering scent of magnolias. You also see a pint-sized brindle puppy, a high-backed mahogany parlor chair that is facing the settee and an elegant black mahogany bookcase with blackened moonsilver filigree.
Obvious exits: none.
>look paint
Deft brush strokes display a portrait of two women facing each other as they are surrounded by a riot of blossoms. A tawny Prydaen with a cascade of raven hair and dressed in ivory lace stands poised before the abundance of color from the garden. She gazes at a fair-skinned Human lass with luxurious aubergine hair, who is gowned in dove grey. Soft beams of light halo the two as they appear adrift in each other's eyes, lost to the beauty of the world around them.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read paint
An idyllic painting reads:
"~Two hearts as one~"
>look in bookc
In the mahogany bookcase you see a leather-bound book with gilt pages titled "Poetic License", a collection of historical tomes bound in gold-embossed leather, a suede cartographer's atlas, a thick leather-bound journal stamped with the insignia of Asemath Academy, a booklet bound in blue-black leather, a silvery-blue dream journal bound in moonsilk, a crisp treatise with vividly colored glossy pages, a farmer's almanac bound in yellow hide, a purse maker's encyclopedia bound in pebbled leather and a thin notebook bound in bright purple silk.
>look pupp
The brindle puppy is tiny with an apple-shaped head and a short pointed muzzle. She has enormous, round, very dark eyes. Her large ears are erect.
She is standing.
>scra pupp
You reach towards the brindle puppy and scratch her behind the ears.

Apartment Above Little Frills Doll Shop, Shard
[The Second-Floor Hallway]
The walls of the upstairs hall are covered with cream paper hand-painted in tones of green and gold with scenes of woodland and meadow. Two bronze lamps light the hall, and a big window graces the street end. You also see a silverwood door elaborately carved with blooming vines preceded by a woven kokona reed doormat.
Obvious exits: none.
[Shard Apartment, Interior]
A white snowbeast pelt rug adorns the white marble floor of this room. A white pillared marble fireplace, with a watercolor portrait depicting a sun-drenched mermaid hanging above it, rests between a sleek black willow canopy bed with soft pillows and a long dark sana'ati table with blackened moonsilver filigree pushed up against the grey mistwood walls. The room holds a faint scent of gardenias. You also see a pure-white Tetomba'ia, a rich black cashmere armchair that is facing the fireplace, a rich black cashmere armchair that is facing the fireplace and an Ilithian black bogbirch wardrobe carved with lotus blossoms with several things on it.
Obvious exits: none.
>look portr
Glistening drops of water bead over the pale skin of the ethereal creature as she basks upon a sparkling white sand beach. Rendered with a delicate hand, each scale of her undulating tail bears the blue-green hue of the sea that crashes before her in foamy waves. A swooping letter "A" marks the bottom right corner of the piece.
>look tet
The Tetomba'ia is a small bundle of fur. Not much can been seen except for two wide eyes that blink constantly as they take in its surroundings.
It is standing on the floor.
>rub tet
You playfully mess up the fur of the Tetomba'ia which lets out an indignant squeal and quickly rolls around on the floor, rearranging its thick fur to the way it was before.
