Gerdi returned Felice's smile.<br/><strong>"A bed for the night? Yeah, that can be arranged...I've got a room for guests",</strong>she assured her, then turned to Carla and Brandi.<strong>"Thank you, neighbours. I'm in your debt again".<br/>"No need for that!",</strong>assured her Carla politely.<br/><strong>"It was our pleasure",</strong>Brandi confirmed as well.<br/>Gerdi nodded, the exchange of niceties noted, then turned towards the young Asian woman.<br/>"And I see your friend is a silent one. Good. People that talk much are liable to cause more problems than they resolve."<br/>Ezra laughed curtly and raised her glass to Gerdi, agreeing. Then she emptied it, still not saying a word.<br/><strong>"Now come, I'll show you my humble abode",</strong>Gerdi continued.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>After they climbed the stairs, Gerdi unlocked a door, and they seemingly entered a different place.<br/>Instead of the almost-empty rooms with functional furniture, they were now in a place where ornaments abounded even on chairs. No sharp or right angles were in sight: everything that could have a fluid curve, had one, including leg chairs.<br/>And almost everything was in either white, or a pastel color, often combined with gilding.<br/>Gerdi led them to a small room first, which, it seemed, was almost half-full by a bad in dark brown wood, though it still fitted the general style.<br/>There were also a couple chairs there, and a small table.<br/>"Ezra, dear, that place should suit you fine", she smiled. "If you need anything, just ask".<br/>The huntress looked it over and nodded.<br/><strong>"It's fine. I'm almost tempted to try it now..."<br/>"By all means!",</strong>Gerdi waved her.<strong>"See there? You can block your door from the inside, and I won't bother you until it comes time for the evening meal...You need not worry about Felice here!"</strong><br/>The huntress considered her words, and nodded.<br/><strong>"I'll do that, then."</strong><br/>Then Gerdi led Felice to a bigger room, with a bed that, judging by the size, could have been some queen's. The room, however, was vastly more spacious, with a bigger, gilded table and chairs, and a wardrobe.<br/><strong>"And this is to be our humble abode, dear. Suit yourself, and now we could discuss what leads you to Farum! Other than the desire to see me, hopefully?"</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoilered For Size</div><div class="spoiler_body">Typical example of part of a room.<br/>(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Secretaire_-_Bernard_II_van_Risamburgh_-_M%C3%BCnchner_Residenz_-_DSC07490.JPG/800px-Secretaire_-_Bernard_II_van_Risamburgh_-_M%C3%BCnchner_Residenz_-_DSC07490.JPG)<br/><br/>Ezra's bed, full-sized<br/>(https://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mX9qjMENEXk_nuWVkLizkEQ.jpg)<br/><br/>Felice's bed, queen-sized<br/>(https://www.furniturestorelosangeles.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/c/a/cavalli-rococo-bedroom-furniture.jpg)<br/></div></div>
