The Professor's Appearance

"Oh, hey..uhm.. If you don't mind me asking, this place is?" Xixi smiled at him curiously.

"My personal palace." He paused for a brief moment before asking "What do you think of the decorations? Is it up to your preferences?" 

"Yeah of course, I haven't visited the other rooms, but this room is extremely pleasant to the eyes. Although the walls would look better if the color scheme is altered. The furniture is fascinating too…" Xixi wasn't about to stop but suddenly she felt something was wrong with the situation.

'Wasn't she in the carriage? The last thing she can recall is dozing off to sleep after someone refused to answer her queries. So how did she get here? Wait.. she felt something warm snuggling up close to her in a half dreamy state. Oh gosh.. No way..was that him? It would be too embarrassing..and why the hell would he ask her about how the palace looks instead of letting her know how she ended up here?"
