Wanda still needed to find herself somewhere to stay. She had stayed at Salyna's place the one night, and in cheap hostels on a couple of other nights. Of course, to find a place to stay, she needed to find a source of income. While fighting criminals who attacked her and taking their money was a source of income, it wasn't a reliable source. It would also make her enemies.

The sight of a castle in the park caught her attention, and she walked around its perimeter curiously. What was that doing there? It seemed out of place in an otherwise thoroughly urban city. Perhaps it was a historical building?

She approached the front, looking to see if there was an entrance fee.

Luckily for Wanda, there was no such thing. Just two very large, and very empty rooms on either side of a long hallway leading out towards an indoor courtyard. There was nothing really of value inside; except maybe the statues. But they were so big and heavy, who in their right mind would try to steal them?

Nope, there was practically nothing inside. Except for maybe Ace, who was seated under the gazebo in the garden, doing nothing in particular other then straightening her doll's hair out. Not bothered in the slightest at the arrival of a visitor to her front door.

After a moment of poking around, Wanda finally looked around and called inside. She couldn't see anything about an admission fee, nor did the castle seem to be locking people out. "Hello? Is anyone here?"

She wandered inside, taking in the sights. The architecture was beautiful, although she couldn't place it historically. The statues were haunting and yet skillfully crafted in their own way. Finally, she came across the gazebo and spotted a young girl on her own.

"Ah...excuse me," she began.

She looked up for a moment, carefully looking over her guest for bit before lowering her gaze once more. Her attention focused on her rippled reflection in the water. Or that's what she seemed to be doing but it was clear to see that she wasn't really focusing on anything at all.

"You don't have to apologize."

"Is this your home?" Wanda asked. The girl seemed to be quite casual about strangers entering it, if that was the case. "It's beautiful."

She took a few more steps in the young girl's direction so they could speak, but not close enough to invade her personal space. Wanda didn't like when people got too close without permission, so it was a courtesy she extended to others until given reason not to.

"...thank you. Do you like castles, too...?"

Ace didn't know what else to say and figured that a simple 'thank you' would be enough. It wasn't often that she received compliments on her choice of decor.

"I couldn't stay at the last place I was at...so I made this."

"I do," said Wanda, nodding. "I always liked reading fantasy stories, and reading about medieval history."

She'd spent a lot of time isolated and reading, although for the life of her, she couldn't remember exactly why. Her father had always been there for her...hadn't he? Well, he was a busy man, she rationalized, and her powers were dangerous - much moreso before she got training.

"You...you made all this yourself?" Wanda asked, looking somewhat shocked. Even if the girl had powers, it was still quite a feat. "It must have been a lot of hard work."

Several years ago, it might have been. But like all things, her powers had begun to change overtime. So she merely shook her head, suddenly holding a white ribbon in her hand and tying it into her doll's hair.

"Not really. All I have to do is visualize what I want, and it appears."

A twist, followed by a tug and in a matter of seconds, Ace had finished fastening a bow onto her doll. She looked over her handwork for a moment, before setting it aside gently.

"...though sometimes...not even agrees with the things I make..."
