Owl's Manor, a high mansion in pitch black stone, is called after the white statue of an owl on the very top of the building, overlooking all with fiery red eyes. The house has long been rumoured to be haunted, and one look is sufficient to tell you why. So despite of its otherwise respectable looks, great size and wonderful location in a quiet part of the section, it's been vacant for quite a while.
Inside, the interior is markedly Gothic, with a lot of gargoyles, stained glass windows in inner walls, winding stone staircases, blackened stone columns... The furniture; strong, dark oak closets, heavy curtains, faded sofas, dark four-poster beds with creepy-looking carvings. Empty pieces or armour in the halls, dark gruesome paintings and tapestries on the walls.

*She laughs a bit*
.oO (Subserviency doesn't fit you either.)
*She looks at the manor through the strong gate*
Hm... Ain't bad.

Though, I'm trained to be such to whoever I guard.> I like it. It fits. Nice stone work, great view, lovely location... and quiet. Very private. I think this will do. I'll have to see the price of the place. I wonder where one goes to buy such a place? Usually they have a person on our near the premises... ~He looks around, searching for such a person.~

*There is indeed a small porter's cottage not far from the gate, with some light burning inside. Rûn looks at Twilight for a moment*
You are not valuable to me subservient. I have no need of a servant at the moment, I need an ally. We will work better as a team than as mistress and servant.
*Her eyes are cold as ever, she obviously means no particular kindness*
Yes, we could make this a very nice little home.

Then an ally I shall be. Well, let's pay the people a visit. Negotiations should be quick. ~He walks towards the cottage.~ You may come, if you wish.

*Grins*
Wouldn't want to miss that.
*She follows him towards the cottage, occupied by an elderly man who is only a caretaker and never dared to set foot in the manor house, of which he is convinved it is haunted by the spirit of the last owner's wife, who was brutally murdered there one stormy night, or so the stories go*

An image of the wife looks at the man and gives him a ghastly smile before vanishing.~

*The man screams and immediately hides under the bed, praying to all gods he knows, including his mother. Rûn watches through the window and laughs heartily*

~He grins at Rûn as he forces the door open.~
<A simple enough trick.>
~When he gets into the cottage, his expression changes to a very concerned one.~
Sir? Are you ok? I heard a scream...

*She stays outside, for the moment unable to control her face. She thinks this very funny. The man looks at Twilight with a pale face, convinced this is a ghost too, or else some horrible, horrible fiend, come to carry him off to Hell or worse! He just stares at him, paralysed*

My wife is waiting without a roof over her head, you see. I seek to buy this place and take it off your hands.

*The man begins to mutter*
Just the caretaker- can't make such a-
*He thinks. Ghosts... He could send the owner of these ghosts over tomorrow morning. Or someone. Ghosts! And if these people... Ghosts, ghosts... He shudders. Well they can go ahead for all he cares. Ghosts.... Ghosts everywhere.... He nods and without further ado- runs away, grabbing his mother's old portrait and his furry little dog on the way*

All it takes is a little fear. ~He searches the cottage and finds the keys. He opens the gates.~ Shall we?

Let's, Mr Sserindel.
*She follows him onto the grounds*

~For the first time since they went into the manor, Twilight leaves and walks the streets of Eluria.~
