Ptricia looked back as she mounted the steps, and sighed as she looked at the pair. She turned back, went downstairs and got a blanket for each of them, then placed it over the sleeping forms.<br/><br/>Then she mounted her own steps, shedding the t-shirt and jeans that she'd reverted to after the ritual was over, and stood stretching before shifting to sphinx form and burrowing into her own bedclothes.<br/><br/>A moment of scuffling and turning under the sheets, and her head popped out, resting on her crossed paws. She was lying on her front, facing the sweep of the room. Her tail popped out and smacked a control on the back wall of the bed chamber, and the lights went down to the night-time setting, then the obelisks faded, both flaming tips and glowing glyphs, leaving the massive room lit only by the false starlight.<br/><br/>She glanced up, her eyes momentarily glowing as the faint light reflected from the reflective layer within them, then the twin glowing orbs winked out as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
