He feels it's high time he finds out what door this silly key that Simon gave him unlocks.
So he heads upstairs and stares down the hallway for a moment before slowly walking down.
He glances at each door as he passes, frowning at the lived-in feeling they seem to emit. He's curious to note that some have numbers, some don't. Others have things on them that he'd rather not guess at...until he passes Room 21.
Right across from Room 21 is a door that has a symbol that makes him frown. The left half of the symbol is the
Jedi crest (minus the word 'Jedi'), while the right half is
that of the Sith.
He almost rolls his eyes.
Almost.
"I guess this must be mine, then," he says to no one in particular. And of course, the key fits perfectly and the door swings open.
As he steps inside he facepalms. It looks like a corner of the Jedi Temple's Room of a Thousand Fountains has been transported to this room in Milliways.
The bed has a canopy of vines and flowers; a tiny, tinkling waterfall adds it's bubbly song to the room and the air is slightly damp. It's bright, airy and there's lots of 'soothing' blue and white and green and brown...
There's another door inside that leads to a large sitting room that contains a wall of books and a computer console reminiscent of the Temple Archives. This room is decorated in more sombre tones, reds and blacks, deeper browns and auburns...
There is a large wingback chair with wine-red upholstery, a mahogany side table next to it, and a matching roll-top desk against one wall.
This room is a scholar's dream-come-true. The other? is an amphibian's.
He collapses in the chair and puts a hand to his head. It's bad enough that he needs to ignore the duality of his nature and fight against it on a good day. This damned establishment seems hell-bent on making him live it constantly.
"Force save me from this wretched place..."
