Description

Bringing her eyes back to the ground, Myst found Mykal with a satisfied smirk on his face, as he led her amongst the massive trunks until they reach one with stairs that literally grew from its side as they spiraled upward to the lowest deck, some thirty feet above. They crossed several open decks and bridges, some supported by ropes, others grown directly from the branches, and climbed another two levels up, passing a few elves, half-elves and even a stray human or two on the way, who recoiled in surprise upon seeing her. Finally, reaching a structure partially built around, and partially grown from, a massive trunk; entering, they faced a reception desk attended by a pretty wood-elven woman, who smiled a little too welcomingly at Mykal, greeting him in a feign warm tone; “I was beginning to wonder if you would return this winter.” “Sorry to disappoint you,” he retorted sarcastically, then added with mock formality; “Madam Hacathra Moonglamaer, may I present Ilamyst, formerly of Maerimydra.” “Welcome dear,” Hacathra met her with forced gentility as she eyed Myst distrustfully, adding, as she turned back to Mykal; “Can I assume that your… guest… will be spending the winter with you, and will depart in the spring when you leave?” “That’s her decision,” he replied fixing her with a warning stare. “She’ll remain with me as long as she wants… and whether she stays or leaves when I do is up to her.” Turning away from madam Hacathra, he guided Myst toward an interior stairway, up a flight and down a hall of alternating doors. Stopping midway, he produced a key from his pouch, unlocked the door then ushered her into a dark and chilly room. After lighting lanterns set around the room, he set a fire in the small hearth against one wall to dispel the chill, while she surveyed it, finding a small table and pair of chairs sitting under a shuttered window opposite a moderately sized bed, a large metal tub opposite the hearth and an enclosed privy in one corner, while a verity of chests and cabinets occupied the remaining wall space. “What is this… an inn of some kind?” she queried as she slipped off the cloak he had lent her, a little unsettled, but not the least bit surprised by her welcome. Although she had expected to be treated with suspicion and hostility, it didn’t make the bite any less painful. However, she found herself consoled, and even heartened, by his defense of her. “It’s madam Moonglamaer’s boarding house,” he replied from his knees while he tended the fire, stealing glances toward her as she stood just over his shoulder, offering a delightful view of the shapely legs peeking out from the hem of the oversized chemise she wore, and tantalizing him with the temptation to peek beneath. “I pay her a year’s rent in advance before I leave in the spring and she keeps the room for whenever I return, usually just for the winter.” Raising from the hearth, he turned his attention to the tub opposite it, offering, almost sheepishly; “How about a nice hot bath to chase the chill away?”

Great continuation. I for one am not disappointed. And I like the image of the characters. Myst is pretty, and Mykal is drool-worthy. And I understand what you mean about not finding props. I've had to learn to model to create stuff I couldn't find or cobble together.
