Only meant for one person? How rich are these people???

"Pack whatever you need, but try to be fast. I don't know if anyone can detect the door, but I don't want any bad surprises."

She opens the door again.

Sofia is quick with packing: both of her changes of clothes, some gold, and a small bag with all her personal belongings, and comes back to the weird palace.

Her first instinct is to tell Sofia to pack her things too, but then remembers the discussion she had about servants, and tells her to hold the door instead.

Sana packs her jewels, her gold, her accounting books and all of her clothes (five full changes). She then puts her profane icon of her Lady in a bag with the other things, takes a last look at her house, and closes the door.

"I very much don't want one either!" Cynthia says somewhat panicked, placing her hand against her leggings, as she waits at the door to her apartment.

"Let's go."

They walk through the door to Cynthia's house. The door closes.

Sofia is watching everything around her, starstruck by all the space and how everything is so white and clean and... how are those towers standing, with that much glass?

Cynthia thinks for a few moments before walking over to the huge window that nearly covers the opposite wall. She somewhat hurriedly slides a sliding switch on the wall by the window, and all the windows outside suddenly turn black.

"Well, I'm not fully sure about what we'll be doing now! I guess you'd want to unpack in this main room, and then we can talk about what we'll maybe do next?"

"What do you mean, main room?"

"Well, this is the biggest room of the house. And I also have a bathroom and a bedroom? It'd be weird if this room was the whole house, right? Where'd you even sleep?"

"You have a room just for bathing in???"

"Well, I wouldn't want this room to get wet, would I? And it'd be weird to have the toilet just out in the open."

"You have your toilet in your house??? Isn't it... unsanitary?"

"No you idiot! I'm not heading down 40 stories to use an outhouse!"

"She is not an idiot, don't you dare!!!" Calm down, this is undignified, and you really don't want to offend your host. "Sofia, dear, they have incredibly magic. I have seen her heat her infusion without a fire, rooms move without a sound, machines faster than horses. They probably have some magic for taking care of making an outhouse an... inhouse?"

"Sorry sorry sorry, I shouldn't be so mean. You obviously wouldn't know. It's just that I'm... sheltered, and I got kind of offended by her seeming to think I was unsanitary like that. We don't need magic, we can just use water!"

"You said you don't have clerics for creating water, and you didn't know about summoning elementals so... how do you make water appear?"

"The water comes from wells and rivers, just like you're used to. And we just pipe it up here."

"How do you get it to go... up? Is it more magic?"

"Electricity is basically magic! It lets us run the pumps."

"I'm still confused by you having so many wizards that you can just have ones dedicated to moving water, but you don't know about summoning or outer planes...

Maybe it is because everyone is Good, so you don't have enough wars and dangers for them to get to the higher circles?"

"We don't have any wizards! We don't know about summoning or outer planes, because we can just call people and travel on planes."

"But then how can you have so much magic! I'm so confused.

And tired, actually, which is probably one reason why we're arguing more than is necessary.

You said you have a room for baths? If it's not imposing too much, I would love to take some time to wash myself and decompress."

"Yes, feel free to enjoy it. You'd probably want to decompress; I'll set up somewhere to sleep." Cynthia walks into her bedroom, before returning with a Japanese-style futon.

"Not to be an idiot who usually walks down 40 stories to use an outhouse but... where is your bath room? And how do I fill the bath with water?"

"There are many things you'd want to learn! Let me help you." Cynthia opens the door to the bathroom, revealing a rectangular space of maybe 150 square feet, with a squarish toilet on one end, as well a shower near the other end of the room. There's a sink behind the shower, the sink placed behind a glass door that keeps everything in it safe from the shower when the shower is in use. The shower has a divider and a shower enclosure door in front of it, making it so the shower essentially has a built-in pool. "So that thing against the end, that's our inhouse, as you so delightfully called it. It's actually called a toilet! And on the opposite of the room, you have the bath, shower and sink. You fill the bath with water like so:"

Cynthia takes off the smaller handheld mini shower head, placing into a holder near the end of the bath. Then she turns the left handle of the mixing battery, causing water to start flowing out from the handheld shower head into the bath. "You can also fill the bath using the shower head." She turns the knob built into the wall, starting the flow of water from the shower head built into the ceiling. Everything in the room seems to be made of beautiful, perfect marble.

"So the 'shower head' is just raining, but in a closed space? That's soooo weird. Wouldn't you get cold by just standing in the rain?"

"Does the inhouse toilet work with your world's magic too? Does it just bring everything away with water when you're done?"
