A wild snake has appeared!

Reima "Ciri, I've just had an idea." he says with a wide smile.

Ciri's blank face says it all... "No?"

Reima "Come on, it'll be really cool." he almost pleads to her.

...

She huffs, "Fine."

With this devastating and difficult argument between them over, Reima takes the lead and starts walking in the vague direction of the revolving staircase.

Ciri "So, where are you taking us?" she asks curious.

Reima "This castle holds many secret rooms, items and artifacts... It's the former which I'm hoping to discover."

Ciri "What's so special about a room?"

Reima "Oh, you'll see." he says excited at testing the limits of the room.

As they continue to try find the staircase they pass by multiple students going to and fro, probably to get to their next class. This doesn't initially cause the trio any problems, that is until a short fat figure attempts to block their way. He's got short short brown hair that doesn't seem to match his fat head along with the typical Slytherin green robes. He's surrounded by a few other Slytherin's, some just watching while others look more eager to get involved.

"It's the freak and his bitch, I reckon you two had something to do with whatever happened earlier, probably a botched spell."

Reima glances at Ciri and shrugs, "Sorry Mr. background character but I'm kind of busy, I'm sure I'll learn your name in our next meeting." he says while grasping Ciri's hand and pulling her through the dumbfounded crowd, most stepping back when his axe-like staff clinks by.

The fat boy who tried to block their passenger stiffly turns to face their quickly retreating back. "Background character!? You think I Cassius Warrington is a background character!?!" he shouts loud enough for the trio to hear.

Reima "Huh, guess we learned his name sooner than I thought.." he says while Ciri chuckles.

Eventually they find the staircase and slowly make their way up to the seventh floor, once at the right level Reima leads the trio through the many hallways looking at each painting as he goes. Eventually after twenty minutes of searching he seems to spot one of particular interest... Ciri walks up and examines it, she's no expert in painting but from her limited exposure she had no idea why this one was created, are those trolls dancing?

Reima "This is it."

Ciri "I hope you've not come just for this painting."

Reima "Oh but I have... Follow me and think about what you really want right now." he says and starts pacing, with Ciri following his movements.

They continue this until a door that wasn't there in the first place appears opposite the painting...

Ciri looks at it and Reima suspiciously, "You first."

He shrugs and opens the door, seeing a cosy looking room with a roaring fireplace and a huge sofa sitting a comfortable distance from it.

Reima "Er, is this what you wanted?" he asks, confused at the lack of anything interesting, truth be told he was expecting to find some ammunition to use on the Tsundere...

Ciri's eyes widen as she steps inside, "I was thinking that "I was tired and I want to rest.", this is pretty amazing isn't it?"

Reima sighs "Yeah but it can do much, much more... Come." he says exiting the room with a reluctant Ciri. After leaving he paces back and forth thinking of the balcony overlooking Kaer Morhen's courtyard. Once the door appears he open it and a breeze blows his hair and robes back.

Ciri peeks her head over his shoulder and gapes at the landscape, tree's covered by snow with a destroyed tower nearby. She can spot where it all ends but it's at least a couple miles wide... "Woah...."

Reima "Yeah, it's like our very own holodeck!"

Ciri "Is this all real?"

Reima "Er, I'm not sure... I think it's just using my memory as a baseline, I'd assume it would use a ridiculous amount of energy to create this amount of matter, so it's probably self-contained in this room. This means we can't just imagine gold and take it from the room to become rich."

Snuffles jumps out of Ciri's arms and turns into her human/vampire form, she lands on the floor and shivers slightly at the cool breeze blowing through the valley. She ignores this however and walks up to the balcony and leans over to look around.

Ciri "This is our home Risa, Reima and I come from this place." she says to the young girl wearing a sundress.

Nerissa "Cold... Pretty." she states with more enthusiasm than she had anything else in the last few days.

Reima "Deepen your voice and you'll start sounding like Geralt" he says while chuckling.

Nerissa continues to look at the sights, she'd never seen anything like this before and was enthralled. "Take?" she asks as she glances back at the duo.

Reima doesn't know what she means but Ciri's apparently fluent in "One-word-speak"

"I'm not sure, we have plenty of time to decide in the future."

The young vampiress nods and turns back to continue looking around.

An hour passes and Reima decides that it's probably time to change the room and start doing something productive with their free time. They leave with Nerissa reluctantly turning back into a rabbit before returning again with the room this time resembling the Raslan Colosseum, the place Reima had first met Kuretz.
