Sylas walked into Cassarae's after her and closed the door. He took a seat on a couch, looking around casually.
As expected, the City Lord's mansion had grown considerably once more. It still wasn't as large as the functional castles and palaces of the System Cities, but it was already at a size that would have taken a sizable fortune to build back before the Summoning.
