At night, Hexia followed Annelli to the house where they would be living.
Before them stood a two-story house with a rounded dome, its roof curving with an arc reminiscent of the flying eaves found in the East, while the walls below were a pale turquoise resembling turquoise, embellished with gold branches and leaves around the windows and floral decorations—it was neither too complex nor monotonous, striking a perfect balance.
Entering the house, the first thing one saw was the spacious hall, one side of which had arched lattice windows that replaced a wall, offering a view of the garden outside and allowing for curtains to be drawn in the evening to maintain tranquility.
The living room's round table matched the wall's turquoise hue, set with porcelain teapots, and both the handle of the teapot and the rims of the teacups featured gilt detailing. Apart from chairs and tables, the hall wasn't crowded with objects, instead offering a feeling of minimalistic freshness.
