I walked into the expansive washroom. The walls were a lovely yet subtle pink. My boots clacked on the cool marble white floor as I gazed about the room. The tub could be called a pool in and of itself. It was a massive oval with steps leading into the gorgeous crystal clear water. A gold trim lined the tub with an assortment of candles following after. The other half of the room was dedicated to the other pampering utilities of any said washing and bathing room. That side I didn't pay much attention to as I made my way over to a shelf filled with towels and shampoos. I'd picked a lavender scented shampoo, not bothering with a towel as I used my magic to remove my clothing and makeup.

I had let myself soak, scrub at my arms, and had my hands running through my already smooth hair with lavender scented suds. Relaxing like this in a bathing room usually calmed my thoughts, but I still couldn't find myself shaking the thought of what I'd done.

Cress— Seonghwa— whatever he should be called— didn't even see it as a big deal. Or did he? Maybe he was trying to get me too comfortable? It felt like there was so much more going on but, yet, nothing at all. As if I was just playing mind games with myself.

I huffed out a sigh as I got out of the spacious tub, using my magic to dry myself as always. I didn't bother with clothing as I made my way through a side door that led to a closet. It was quite a massive walk-in one with an exotic assortment of clothes of every color that were both male and female attire. Next to the threshold of the washroom was a robe which I didn't bother with wearing. I felt the need to be free of any and all articles of clothing at the moment.

I let myself continue walking through the other door that connected to the closet which led to an even more spacious bed room. There was a lovely patio looking over the mountains that could be seen off in the distance beyond the plains that came before it. There looked to be glass surrounding the entrance of the outdoor area, one I'm sure you were to use manipulative magic to close off the area (which I had). Maroon curtains also surrounded the entrance. Next to that was a nice little bookshelf with an assortment of candles laying on top of the small stature. Along with that was a chair to relax in— one I assumed would and still has been used to browse that shelf for a book to pass by the time. I would definitely need that. The other side of the room held a large luxurious queen sized bed draped in white and pale pink sheets with dark maroon embroidering to compliment areas here and there. There looked to be two white side tables placed on either side of the bed.

I didn't hesitate as I walked over and flung myself onto the bed. The High Monarch of the Dawn Court still failed to leave the thoughts of my head. I groaned into the blankets, banging my fists on the bed, before turning myself to look up at the elaborate white and gold sealing.

Was I supposed to meet with him later this morning? I wasn't sure, but I didn't want to face him again. Or should I? With all that's going on I could never be sure. And my squadron would have to attend said meeting too, right? Yunho would need to be there and, telling by Cress's current attitude, he'd have him attend with or without my authority. A part of me was reluctant to know he would do that.

But Yunho— I hadn't checked in with him to see how he was doing. I didn't bother with formal attire as I used my magic to quickly fling a short white dress over my body. I made sure the dress was breathable as I didn't want to be suffocated by any clothing, though I had to dress.
