"Then I suppose there's nothing stopping us."

She holds out an arm invitingly.

Eliese takes it with a smile.

And a few seconds later, the world blinks around them -

And they're elsewhere.

There's clover and small flowers and moss under their feet - exceptionally soft - and artfully arranged willows around them, and a blue early morning sky overhead without a cloud in sight. The air has an almost unreal quality to it, everything beautiful and artistic in a way reality tends not to be. They're standing with their backs to a stacked stone wall that seems to run around the forest, and a small waterfall trickles over it a few dozen feet to their left, landing in a gently babbling stream. A smooth stone path leads ahead of them, and the highest turret of a large mansion just visible through the trees.

"A beautiful world."

Slyly, "Did you make it for me?"

She squeezes Eliese's hand. "Yes. Just for you, darling. And there's more presents inside."

"Oh my. I can't wait."

Heee. "Then let's not dawdle." She starts pulling Eliese gently down the path.

Down the path to the mansion!

It's just as beautifully designed as the rest of the world - thoroughly to Eliese's tastes (Acererak's been paying attention) and large and sprawling, surrounded by impressive gardens. Acererak leads Eliese inside, kissing her just after the threshold.

"Now... Do you want your smaller presents first, or your big one?"

"Mmm... Work me up to it. Gently."

She kisses Eliese's cheek. "Alright, darling. Your smallest ones are in the sitting room, through here..."

She leads Eliese into an airy study with two wooden jewelry boxes sitting on the desk, a bounce in her step.

"Ooh." She opens the boxes.

They contain: a necklace and a bracelet! Both are a shimmery silver metal Eliese can't really identify, with deep black gemstones woven along their length. Both have an apparently somewhat precariously attached pendant hanging off.

"They're magic," Acererak says, eagerly. "Both linked to planar travel spells - if you break the pendant off the necklace, you'll be teleported to this plane, and if you break the pendant off the bracelet, I'll be teleported to you, no matter where I am. They can't be activated by other people, but the necklace has a rudimentary intelligence - it can break itself if it senses you're in extreme and imminent danger and unable to break the necklace yourself."

"Oh, that's so sweet-" Time for kisses.

Kisses!!!

"I'm glad you like them - I can repair them pretty easily, so it's okay to use them outside of emergencies, but they can't self repair..." Yet, growth mindset.

"I will keep that in mind." She puts the bracelet and the necklace on, then poses flirtatiously. "How do I look?"

"Stunning."

She caresses the bracelet.

"I love them, thank you."

Heeeeee!!!

"You're so very welcome, darling."

Kiss!

"And you said there was more?"

"Yes." She gestures to some grand double doors across the room from them. "The next bit's just through those doors..."

Let's see what's behind them, then.

Appears to be...

An enormous library! It has sitting areas, of course, and art, and a computer, but it's three stories, probably a significant chunk of the mansion's floor space, and mostly books by volume. There's a few closed cabinets that look promising, too.

Wow.

"Wow."
