Instinct crawled up her straight bowed spine as she made her way into the chamber that her new guests were told to wait in by a young man who bowed and smiled underneath his crop of curls that flopped over his twinkling green eyes that lingered on the Lady in her black gown before he bowed and stepped out of the room. A few minutes after his departure, a young woman took his place, her head bowed and body dipping into a polite curtsy for the two. She came bearing a tray with a pitcher and two mugs of water that she presented to them with a small smile.<br/><br/><br/>“My lord, my lady – welcome to House Sur. Please, enjoy a beverage and let us know how we can be of service to you.”<br/><br/>Unlike the young man that had left as quickly as he had dropped them off here, the girl retreated to the side to set her tray with its pitcher down on a table next to one of four doors that surrounded the chamber the two dragons found themselves in, her face attentive while her hands dropped to her lap, crossed there, her posture straight. She would say nothing more to the pair unless called on for assistance as she waited for Miri to arrive. There were no windows in this room, as the young man had led them into the large complex, but the walls bore paintings depicting each of the Seven and how they might have looked bearing the semblance of man and woman, and each depicting a different color scheme of the artist's choosing. Underneath each painting was a couch that followed the same color scheme. The center of the room was a set of another four plush couches surrounding a fountain that bubbled happily from two jugs hefted on a woman's shoulders, these done in simple cream. It was a waiting room and used for nothing else by its simplicity, though its décor was symetrical in how the room was set up.<br/><br/><br/>Miri of Sur was a silhouette inside one of the doors when its double planks were pushed open as she paused for a moment to take a good look at her new guests and their attire. The hairs on the back of her neck tingled as much as her intuition as her eyes flitted from the tall man in his blue armor to the slender woman dressed all in black. They hummed with power; something that Miri could always sense. Being able to<i>touch </i>on exactly what she was feeling required more focus than what she had right then, however. And it meant potentially exposing herself and her own abilities to those sensitive to such things.<br/><br/><br/>Still, she approached with cautious grace once she pulled air into her lungs and smoothed down the front of the robes she wore, cream like the couches in the center of the room. They were similar to the girl's that had served them, only hers was embroidered in blue around the sleeves, the collar, and the hem. She had only had a chance to sponge herself off from her time spent caring for the injured in another wing of the building and her hair was pulled back off her shoulders and pinned to the top of her head still to keep it out of her face – and out of the way. There was nothing that she could do about the circles embedded under her eyes without caking herself with creams and a foundation, which she had also not prepared herself to do for this particular meet.<br/><br/><br/>She stopped several feet away still and inclined her head first, a smile painting itself by impulse alone on her face before she pulled her arms forward, bowing while she dipped into a similar curtsy that the serving girl had performed before rising up to meet both their stares. They had not yet established who was the leader of their pair to her, even if she did already know that the woman was leading this duo, while the man was only her escort. Miri liked to make them verbalize such things in her presence before she made her assumptions, even if they were almost always correct.<br/><br/><br/>“A day's greetings to you both, travelers. I am Miri of House Sur, and I am the Head of this household. How may we be of service and.. Are you familiar with the rules of the House?”<br/><br/><br/>Her smile was pleasant; her demeanor relaxed. But she would go no further with the greeting until she knew that this pair knew what to expect.
