"Yeah..."

She fingers her glass of water and takes a small drink. It's cold. 

"We'll figure it out. Together."

Sable just grins at her and squeezes her hand, eating some more of her breakfast.

Hyacinth eats a little faster. She feels impatient now, for some reason.

Sable's actually ahead of her, this time, nearly done with her bread and cheese. She takes a big drink of water.

Hya finishes up, takes Sable's hand, and leads her outside. It won't be far to the flat area outside town again.

Sable bounces eagerly, a smile on her face as they walk. "I wonder how it'll look."

"Me too." Hyacinth tugs Sable onward. 

She hurries toward the gates excitedly, and then there they go, they're outside of town. She quickly pulls the tent out of her inventory, deploying it in the clearing.

A violet one-room cottage springs up from the ground where Sable deposited the tent. It has an A-frame roof with a gable over the door and a tiny frosted window in front, framed by a window-box full of dahlias. The eaves are pink and curl in fairytale curlicues, and there's a matching curly heart on the door. The whole place looks like it belongs to a well-respected fairy from a particularly sugary court. 

"Oh gosh," Hyacinth says. "It's so cute!"

"Adorable! Absolutely adorable."

Her fingers twitch through a few menus for a moment, adding Hyacinth as a joint owner.

"Okay, you should have all the same rights to it that I do now. Shall we step inside?"

"Yes, let's!"

Sable laughs and gestures encouragingly. "Well, you try the door, that way I know my adding permissions for you worked."

"Alright, alright!" Hyacinth giggles, and tries the door. 

She comes out into room that's already larger than the outside of the house. To either side of her there's a pair of mahogany divans, and in the middle there's a circular sitting area inset in the floor, covered in pillows on two levels. Pink crystals in the walls illuminate the room, and glitter off of inset loops of steel on the walls, floor and ceiling.

... those are totally hardpoints. And there's the pillow pit... and the suspicously comfortable-looking couches... 

"They put the playroom in the entranceway???" Hyacinth squeaks. 

Sable just laughs, shaking her head and rolling her eyes as she closes the door behind her.

"It's gorgeous, but I'm starting to wonder about something."

She looks around for the doors.

Hya looks around too. There are three other exits from the room, each swathed with a pink silk curtain. The ones on the left and right sides seem to lead to hallways; the one on the opposite side is wider, and the light behind it flickers like candlelight. 

"Think the far side is the kitchen?" Hya asks. 

"Decent guess, yeah."

She steps toward it, her tail swishing with nervous excitement.

The room beyond the curtain has an enormous fireplace in the center of the far wall, easily seven feet wide. A large fire crackles merrily there, and a host of metal objects adorn the sides and top — Sable can make out two grilles that fold down from the sides and look to have adjustable heights, a trio of hooks that can be pulled down from the top to different lengths, a discreet handle on the back wall that probably conceals an oven, and a pair of U-shaped braces set against the side walls surrounding deep indentations, with a faint glimmer of magic in the curved bottom of the braces.

Um.

She scans her gaze further across the room. Stone countertops run the length of the rest of that wall, with mahogany cabinets above and below, and most of the length of the two side walls as well. A large sink interrupts the countertop to the right, as does one set of floor-to-ceiling cabinets. The left wall features a small recessed nook where a trio of eight-foot-long pointed steel poles rest. A sturdy mahogany table occupies the center of the room.

Um.

<Yep,> Hailey interjects into Sable's shock. <I think we've been had.>

It's then that she notices a small piece of paper on the table.

Dear Pirates, Hyacinth, and Hibiscus,

I hope you don't mind, but I called in a favor with the SAI in charge of designing purchased items. I saw your customization request for your pocket-home, especially what it didn't include, and couldn't let that stand. So I added the kitchen customization you were too shy to ask for, and moved the playroom to the living room to give you girls a nudge toward the life you want but are afraid to seize.

You're welcome,

May

Sable facepalms and passes the note to Hyacinth.

"May, you ridiculous gremlin of a girl, we will find a way to prank you for this," she says, an exasperated but pleased laugh in her voice.

Hibiscus siezes front. 

"Heeeeeeeeeeee," she grins. "That May is a real piece of work, huh?~" She giggles. "Nice of her. I think I could get used to this." 

"Looks like it, yeah. Well, guess I don't have to upgrade the kitchen any. That fireplace is easily big enough for your meditation, as well as... other things we might want to do with it."

She walks over to the full-height set of cabinets. "I think this set has preservation enchantments on it to keep things fresh. That's convenient."

"Among other convenient things, yes."
