Despite being the dead of winter in the northern hemisphere, all was not gloom in Demoness. The season was called Second Summer and was indeed more like its counterpart than an opposite. The weather was warmer and slightly humid, though the latter was due to the shower was predicted to visit Sacred Rock later that evening. For the time being, the weather was overcast as Ned Davion descended into the airport. He would soon be followed by Gavrila de Sud, but he was not quite aware of that fact yet. Visits between Fenwick and Demoness had become more than routine, with the prince representing his country more often than his father, and they had lost all their formality; a simple phone call announced his arrival and a car would meet him at the airport with little fanfare. He was admitted to the Plateau and after a little witty banter with the Guardian of the Gateway, an ex-girlfriend, he was led into Jia Li's private solar. Though technically a solar, it was more specifically a library and Jia Li lounged with her legs across her husband's lap; a chitael, either Nemesis or Aphrodite, lay in hers. She propped up a book on her chitael's head, reading happily while her husband reviewed something on a tablet. She looked up as Ned entered and smiled. "Hey, Ned-mitsu," she greeted. "I'd stand but..." She indicated the hundred pound animal purring on her lap. "When did you get in?" |

Ned shook his head. "Nope, though I could definitely see where you'd be concerned. Especially if you were planning a visit." |

Gavrila grinned and laughed yet again, "Yeah, I do not want to visit a city if a volcano might erupt nearby. So concerned is probably a bit of an understatement." |

"Yeah, that's one of those things you would want to watch in a documentary or something like that. Not necessarily see it first hand." He took a drink and another bite of his food before it got too cold. "So, tell me a little bit about Dreaptoras." |

"Dreaptoras? Well, zere is not really much to say," Gavrila said with a shrug, "It is ze capital of Sudest and sits mostly in a valley in ze Sudic Highlands. Zere is a bout 1 million people zere, and it is also ze home of yours truly. Oh, and did I mention ze trees?" Gavrila laughed and took another bite of the food; she'd been eating constantly the entire conversation, but she was slowing down in preparation for when they brought out something else. Aurel was simply sitting there, eating slowly and quietly as he watched the proceedings. To be honest, he was waiting for Gavrila to ask to switch places with him so she could sit next to Ned; but so far she hadn't. |

As the food began to disappear from the table, the final course was brought in: this was a different kind of tea, a sort of dessert, and it was accompanied by various fruits that were neatly sliced. Immediately, Gavrila would notice she'd be able to use her hands once the fruit had been transferred to her plate. Like with the previous courses, hot towels were again brought out, as were other "relaxing" liquids that were assumed to help digestion. |

"Ah! Fruit!" Ned exclaimed excitedly. "And yes, you did mention the trees. I'm expecting to not see the sun because of a forest canopy when I visit," Ned said with a laugh. "What about your palace?" |

Gavrila quickly washed her hands once more, and then proceeded to quickly eat several pieces of fruit in quick succession. Aurel did much as she had, but he did it much more slowly. "Oh, ze trees are not zat bad. And my palace is great; it may not be quite as impressive as zis but it is home. It actually looks like a palace or mansion too, unlike my cousin's," she said in between bites of fruit, "When I referred to him having a castle, I was not kidding. Ze Palatul Regal is a literal castle, just ask ze Empress." |

Jia Li smiled. "It was quite nice. Actually, the whole city was nice. We saw the library and a few other sights. I recommend visiting." |

"So two places of interest to go see then. I'm assuming that the castle is in the capitol, not in Dreaptoras. Am I right?" |
