Ranni and Blaidd appear a few moments later. 

"Blaidd, can you go and inform Rellana that Bella will be my guest? She's unlikely to care, but it would be polite."

"Of course." he says, as he disappears into the corridor.

"We can go find you a guest room to stay? The manor has quite enough."

"That sounds like it would be next, yeah, thank you."

The manor is composed of several stone buildings, and the way to the guest rooms takes them through the couryard. People pass by them, some in knightly armor, some in robes of various elaborateness. 

The guest room is large and comfortable, and all hers. 

"Do you need anything else for now?"

"...if anyone bothers you, tell them that you are a guest of Lady Ranni."

"Lady Ranni, got it. Uh, I'm not hungry right now but what should I do when I get that way?"

"If you want food, you can ask a page in the hallway."

"Okay. Uh, what time is it here?"

"Past midnight, it'll be a while before dawn. Most here at the manor will not be asleep, the night sky is important to us."

"You're nocturnal?"

"We don't sleep through nights. When we want sleep, we do usually do so at night, just not the whole of it."

"Okay. So you stay up late but not till dawn. I should try to adjust to that as long as I'm going to be here."

"If you prefer to sleep more than we do, that is understandable. It is a Carian tradition, to spend the nights under our moons, beneath the stars. Even sorcerers prefer to sleep nights, practicing astrologers are rare these days."

"What's an astrologer?"

"Those who study the stars, the fate written in them, and the magic that flows between them. It was astrologers who discovered sorcery, drawing on the stars' power. My family descends from those first sorcerers, and we keep the practices, even if sorcerers today barely know the night sky."

"Huh. I think sorcerers back home might be different but I'm not one myself."

"Perhaps they are."

"I don't mean to keep you if you've got other stuff to be doing."

"If you have everything you need, I will leave for now, but you are not imposing on my time."

"I think I'll keep for the time being."

"Very well. Ask for me if you need anything that a page won't provide."

And she leaves, to find Iji and Blaidd, leaving Bella to herself. 

Bella doesn't really have anything to do, but she wasn't looking likely to acquire something to do by making small talk. She sits there. Eventually she gets out a notebook and does some writing in it and then puts it away again. She looks out the window.

The night is clear and bright with the glow of the Erdtree. The stars are shining, birghter than the ones back home. There is one moon visible, dark and leaden, though full. 

The land is covered in low fog, though looking down from cliffs on which the manor is built, vast forests and large structures can be seen - towers, towns, and a large complex rising high above the surroundings, linked by bridges to the cliffs on the far side of the land from her.
