[rp: nexus: the housewarming]
In an unusually quiet corner of the Nexus, rather a lot of activity is taking place. A tower built along Norman lines is planted firmly in a field of recently mowed glass, which it shares customarily with an apple tree, and this afternoon only with an assortment of chairs, sofas and a generously loaded buffet table. Behind it, the tower door stands open to reveal a room comfortably if sporadically furnished with more odd chairs, a table and some bookcases. This would be the house-warming that Will and Bran have been talking about and the tower would be the house.
"Well," says the brown-haired boy on the step dubiously. "I think that's everything."
The pale Welsh boy next to him snorts. "Sound a bit more enthusiastic, Swee--Stanton. This was your idea."
"I know," Will says not sounding in the least convinced. "But all the same -- I do want people to like it."
Bran shakes his said. "Honestly. With all the fussing you, Melou and Val have put in there is no way anyone is not going to like it. Relax, all right? You're making me feel nervous." And clearly regarding that as the final word, Bran goes off to greet a newly arrived guest, leaving Will to linger on the step watching their gathered friends.
((housewarming! please mingle and feel free to jump threads, meet new people -- that's what you do at parties, after all. Will be trying to tag people with both Bran and Will, so will undoubtedly be slow. Please bear with me. Magically inclined people may notice that the house resonates with light magic, an after effect of being created by it, though the materials used within it are unmagical, though they possess qualities of what in Dark is Rising canon would be old magic -- that of mountains, the land, un-alive things. It feels safe, secure -- sort of a fresh baked bread feeling. Any questions, just let me know))
