I am making the library sound large, which it is--
[ And Bren? Despite the gaunt appearance, there was enough of his past lover in Bren that pulled Essek like a shadow caught within the tug of firelight. It was because he could see the cheeks filling out, the jawline to look not so cutting and with ribs not looking so painfully exposed. He would make sure that the staff knew to offer food to this man whenever at all possible, because he wanted to see this man thrive.
And he had caught the words earlier, about 'disobeying'. He would find out who this person was who had done this to Bren, and he would make him pay in the most slow and painful way imaginable. While he had heard it, he had tried to focus on something else because if he hadn't, the questionings would've happened. No, best to find out such things organically and with at least the modicum of a clear head on his shoulders ]
Of course I have a pool which you are free to use. And I am only halfway joking about serving me drinks by the pool, if you suddenly find yourself with time on your hands after the library organization but..
[ And that was when Essek angled a smile right in Bren's direction, and the firelight seemed to catch and hold within those dark violet's depths, illuminating warm golden glimmers like there was a fire within; a dichotomy to the coldness that was the Drow ]
For now, you are free to go anywhere you wish; my own quarters are off limits but the rest of the house is at your disposal and if you have any questions, you will always find one of my staff about and around.
