( wanda was, indeed, trying to explain something to annabeth, a question that had gone unsaid earlier when the young woman had approached her to help feeding the animals—a chance to meet them. she chuckles softly at the question. )

...it's hard to choose, but, I like the balconies with the nets. On clear nights, I can just lie there and look at the stars. ( a shrug, as she kicks off some snow towards the side of the path. ) The bathroom, too. It's nice being able to have a hot bath, but the underground sauna is great during the cold.

( yeah, so there is a lot of the treehouse beyond the treehouse. )
