There's so much variety, yeah. The Cloudtop District is big on columns, but it always seemed like the noble families had their own sort of aesthetics on top of the classic stuff. A lot of really clean stone with specific crests and patterns carved in.
The palace is actually a lot warmer than I expected, with these gorgeous wood floors and walls that make you feel like you're in the forest. There are big tapestries with the history of Tal'dorei illustrated that hang like, everywhere. And the throne room's ceiling is a big ass glass dome that lets the sun just light the place up.
[Chiron listens. It's...not a bad picture in his mind, actually. The place is fascinating to say the least, a mix of a few things he might recognize and then a wild combination of the new.]
It seems like the kind of place where one could lose themselves entirely in just trying to see the whole city.
[It's said with fondness, and perhaps a little bit of hope that the opportunity may one day arise.]
[ it's not often keyleth is comfortable with silence. she's anxious and eager to please, and that makes it hard to judge when she needs to be doing something to contribute.
but she can feel that this moment won't last much longer, and so adjusts so that she's seated beside chiron where she can listen to the quiet with him. and hold his hand, if he'll allow it, of course. ]
[For Chiron, silence is as natural as anything. It's the stillness that he embraces though, as that is what puts him in mind of his mountain, of the moments away from students he could enjoy, of those times spent with his family and no other creatures around.
The hand in his is warm, and it isn't a tether to reality at all. It lets his mind go further, and truly indulge in how the time doesn't seem to pass.]
[ after a little time passes, keyleth does finally give into her more fidgety nature.
she releases his hand, but only to change venue. there's probably a tickle at his scalp, because keyleth has separated out a small strand of hair to absently, delicately braid. ]
it is far too complicated and this is FAR too cute i'm gonna die

[ it will probably be a pub crawl unless chiron takes the reins (ha) ]
As long as you give me one if we ever visit your neck of the multiversal woods.

[He probably will, if only for variety's sake.]
Of course. Fair's fair, after all.

--Well. He isn't going to stop her. Instead, there's a small, warm laugh from him.]
How does it rank in comparison to other hair you've braided?
