She nods, "Okay, up it is." She says before ascending the stairs.
"Anything I can do to help, love?" Alethiro asks Arista.
Clara smiles. "You make that sound like a big deal."
She glances at the floor for a moment. "That's just who I am. I try to be a caring, helpful person."
The group comes to another walkway that leads to another turret.
"Do we want to go through the books in there too?" Sienna asks.
"Maybe they're not all dormitories."
"Maybe," Sienna says with a shrug.
Tesia nods while heading to the turret, "Sure, why not?"
She nods, "Sure love, could you set the table and get our drinks? I'd like some lemonade please." She says before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
""It's worth being thorough" Sādhanā adds.

"And you do it very well. And like most caring people, you probably don't hear this anywhere near enough. Thank you Clara. For all that you've done. For all that you continue to do." Celia says softly."Thank you for caring, for welcoming me into your home, for making sure I recover and making sure I'm not alone."
"The fact that you don't see it as a big deal just speaks to the type of person you are....beautiful inside and out." gently resting a hand on Clara's cheek, she lifts her gaze to meet her own again, holding it for a moment before leaning in to softly kiss her lips, the quiet sounds of the crackling fire the only accompanying sound.
Amid the moment a wave of.....energy washes over everything, Radiating good, safety and security.
The next turret contains an alchemy lab. Shelves are filled with glass vials and there are barrels of dried herbs. You notice two thick tomes sitting on a table that detail alchemical processes in excruciating detail. There does not appear to be anything else here.
"Guess they are different after all," Sienna says, looking around the lab.
Ylrhea nods, joining Sienna in searching around the room.
Ylrhea finds some folded pieces of paper behind the shelves of beakers. It appears to be a formula of some sort, but the rogue cannot read it.
"Here's something," Ylrhea says, holding up the papers. "I can't read it though."

Clara closes her eyes as her and Celia's lips touch. She lets out a breathy sigh. "Thank you."
Tesia goes to Ylrhea, "Would it be alright if I looked at it?" She asks the rogue.
"Go ahead," Ylrhea says, passing the papers to Tesia.

"Hmm. Let's see." Sādhanā says giving the papers a glance.
Tesia tries to read what's on the papers as Sadhana looks at them with her.
Sadhana notices the writing is arcane.
The coloring of her eyes shifts slightly as they emit a soft glow while using one of her lesser spells to read what's on the paper.
Getting a look of shock on her face her eyes shift back to normal, "It talks about a potion that would work like a Resurrection spell, but the ingredients list was hidden since such a thing was seen as blasphemy by the other druids....but such a thing could really come in handy. I wonder if there's a way we could find their list? This is absolutely amazing. Who could we give this stuff to in town that would know what to do with it? There's that guy with the apothecary....and then there's Michael...but I don't know if he would know what to do with it either...there's just ssooo many possibilities. What do you guys think we should do? Just take this stuff back to town, or at least tell them about it...I just....I don't know." She stammers slightly while trying to figure out what to do with this new information.
"I don't know...that's messing with divine territory," Ylrhea says. "The gods are supposed to have control over that power and...I'm not sure that a potion wouldn't have some...side effects."
"The books are fine to take," Sienna says. "I don't want to mess around with forbidden potions though."
She thinks for a moment, "Okay, we'll get the books...but...maybe we'll just leave this for now. I'm not leaving this paper here for someone else to find though." She says while stuffing it in a pocket. She didn't really see the difference in using a spell as opposed to a potion....but if even one thing was off, it could have really bad consequences she supposed. She would keep the paper though, just in case. As she takes the tomes and puts them in their bag she takes a look around the room as well, in case they missed anything.
Tesia finds nothing else of interest in the room.
Checking on the remainders of the roast venison and vegetables that she had cut up and put in the pot along with the broth from earlier in the day she suddenly remembers the bowl of dough that she had made earlier for biscuits and never bakes. Gasping slightly she goes to the bowl to check on the dough while berating herself quietly, "Stupid stupid stupid." Looking in the bowl she lets out a little sigh of relief as she sees the dough is okay, even though it doubled in size. Getting out two large pans she lightly greases them before forming the dough into biscuits and setting them in the pans. Once she brushes a little butter on the tops, she sets them in the oven to bake while she works on the stew.
Once the books are packed away she looks at the others, "Well, that's it for in here I guess." She says before moving on to the next area.
"Alright," Ylrhea says, following along.
Alethiro sets the table and pours the drinks. "Milk for Celine, right?"
She nods, "Yeah love. Dinner should be ready in just a few minutes. It's gonna be a little longer since I totally forgot about the biscuits earlier and am baking them now."
"That's alright."
She sighs while giving him a little smile, "I know...I just couldn't believe that I forgot about them like that. They should be done in like fifteen minutes or so though and then we can eat." She pauses for a moment, "After dinner I need to take Celine and go see Esme and Mirrin. Mirrin had said something to me before about talking to me, but I just haven't had a chance. Is that okay?"
"I suppose it's alright if you're not out too late," Alethiro says. "I mean...if Celine's not out too late."
She nods, "Yeah....I've been debating on whether or not I should actually take her since I'm not really sure what Mirrin is going to want to talk about. It might be a little....adultish for little ears? I'm just not sure what I should do....but I don't want her to be upset about me going out either. I don't know...." She says while looking down slightly.
"We could see if she wants to see my parents for a little bit and you can meet us there afterward," Alethiro suggests.
The group comes to the third walkway.
"Guess we can check this one out too," Ylrhea says.
Giving him a hug she says, "That sounds like a good idea and a good way to keep her from feeling "cooped up". She needs to get out of the house for a little bit anyways, and I'll try not to take too long. Oh I just love you, you're the best." Giving his cheek a kiss she asks, "Should we go to her room and ask her, or just wait till we're sitting down to dinner?"
Tesia nods before heading across the walkway to the turret.
"Let's wait," Alethiro says. "I know she loves my parents and she doesn't need to get too excited before eating."
She nods, "Okay love, that sounds perfect."
Rhadaya follows closely behind Tes, taking it all in.

Celia smiles.
"Anytime." she says resting her head on Clara's shoulder curling up next to her on the couch.
"Anything else you'd like to do before we call it a night?" Clara asks.

"I can't think of anywhere else I'd want to be, or anyone I'd rather be with right now. It's the perfect end to a perfect day." Celia says quietly.
Clara smiles and puts an arm around Celia. "Then we can just stay here."
