Emory thought she had seen movement under the bookcase as she swept the base of it, but after a moment of observing it, she didn't find anything. Not that she looked particularly hard or anything. She shrugged and climbed up the ladder next to the bookcase, beginning by cleaning the topmost shelf and working her way down. She took her time in cleaning it, observing and inspecting every book, cleaning and polishing everything to perfection.<br/><br/>It took a great deal of self control for her not to open the books and glance through them, but considering that their owner was unconscious, she thought it best to wait and get his permission before she did. For now, she settled for looking at the spine, the words written there, deciding in her mind what she thought each one was about and keeping a mental list of those she was most interested in, just in case.<br/><br/>She was so absorbed in the books that she didn't even notice the creature under the bookcase that was slowly growing bolder as she reached the last few shelves, climbing off the ladder and working on those that were now at or below eye-level. Likewise, she didn't pay much attention when Prometheus had switched from cleaning one room to cleaning another. She caught the movement in the corner of her eyes, but didn't manage to pry her gaze away.<br/><br/>She had just finished dusting the last shelf, standing up and stretching, looking down at the shelves, admiring the books, and her work, when she saw the black nose that popped out from underneath the shelf. She tilted her head curiously, watching as a tiny face with huge eyes and large ears soon followed. It was... adorable! Her eyes went wide, almost sparkling as she stared at the tiny creature as it stared back at her with bright green eyes that almost reminded her of Prometheus', tilting its head just as she did.<br/><br/>The creature shuffled slightly, reaching up and running it's paws over its face before it clung to her leg, climbing up rather quickly for such a small thing, stopping once it had reached her back. It clung to her with its tiny fingers, sniffing at her. She tried to look at it over her shoulder until Prometheus spoke up, telling her what it was, that it was harmless and must like the way she smelled. "<span style="font-style: italic">It's so cute!</span>" She exclaimed, giggling when the creature held on tighter, hiding it's face in her back as Prometheus stepped closer.<br/><br/>She grinned when he chuckled and told her it had taken a shine to her, so she should keep it. "<span style="font-style: italic">Good luck, huh?</span>" She glanced back at it, smiling as she did. "<span style="font-style: italic">Are you good luck?</span>" She asked the little creature, pausing with a contemplative look on her face. "<span style="font-style: italic">What should we call you?</span>" She asked the little creature. "<span style="font-style: italic">How about Cessy?</span>" She asked, looking to see if it showed any reaction and then looking to Prometheus as he took a seat in one of the armchairs in the room.<br/><br/>He wanted to take a break, which was fine with her. He gave her the option of going to see the other rooms in the house, although he suggested not going past the 4th floor without him. She gave him a nod as he closed his eyes, presumably to take a nap. She was far too excited to nap, though. She probably should, given that she'd been up for quite a while, but she didn't want to. "<span style="font-style: italic">Alright. Enjoy your nap.</span>" She added the latter in a softer voice before looking to Cessy, "Are you ready to explore?" she whispered, grinning and heading for the stairs.<br/><br/>She set off exploring the second floor, finding a lot of random, semi-normal rooms, such as several bedroom, a few bathrooms, and some storage rooms. She also found a room that was covered in plants. It was like a jungle, with plants climbing the walls, covering them so that they weren't even visible beneath the vines and flowers. There were also plants in pots, most of which were overgrown, spilling out onto the floors. There were a lot of brightly colored flowers, plenty of green plants, and even some strangely colored, glowing plants that she'd never seen before. It was like a magical garden, or perhaps a jungle, contained in a room. She avoided actually entering this room, given the sheer number of plants that covered the floor.<br/><br/>Next she found a few more normal rooms before she found a room full of stones. She entered this room, drawn in by all of the different types of stones, many of which were different than any she'd seen before. There were those that were almost clear, like glass, but colorful and sometimes glowing, those that had a cloudy look to them, those with a soft, milky appearance, and those that were solid colors. Some of them glowed while others did not. Some were colored while some were not. Some were soft and smooth, while others were rough or jagged. Some were small, while others were larger. It was fascinating. Still, she kept her hands mostly to herself, as she had with the books.<br/><br/>Once she had finished there, she moved on, examining the rest of the floor. It was amazing how big the floor was and how many rooms it contained. She guessed that was magic for you. You never know what to expect, she guessed. Once she'd looked through all the other rooms on that floor, she stepped into the last room, which appeared to be a sort of seating area or a reading room. The walls had built-in shelves which were full of books. These shelves framed a large bay window that looked outside, where the sun was beginning to make it's way down towards the horizon. It would be dark before too long.<br/><br/>She decided to take a minute to rest, sitting down on the window seat that was built in the nook under the window. She held Cessy in her arms as she laid down on the built-in bench, resting her head on one of the small throw-pillows, staring out at the window for a short time, before her eyes became heavy and she fell into a rather involuntary, but much needed slumber.
