Éclair's Dorm

[Éclair Izumi]

It was nearing the edge of the town of Vers that lodging had been procured through the amount of crowns amassed on the trip throughout the Empire until the young Dracon had happened upon Sherian. It wasn't much, but a single room but what was important was that it was hers and it actually had a roof and the likelihood of having a chamberpot emptied on Éclair was rather minimal. Short of some rather embaressing accidents at least if she ever stumbled and tripped. Such though was something the young Dracon knew she could do quite well without such ever happening.

The entrance itself was along the side of a whitewashed building, an old staircase providing the means itself upon entering the upstairs flat that'd been procured at - to Éclair - at great expense and really was a friviolity that probably wasn't needed but something that she muchly desired. Especially after being forced to sleep out in rain and shine, in snow and far too many cold darkenings on her meanderings through the Provinces. Wooden boards ran along both sides of the simple staircase, the boards themselves looking as if they were beginning to rot through.

The door itself though was a little better, made from heavy oak and bolted with the kind of lock that looks terribly impressive up until someone realises that almost anything could be used as a key. Hat pins and broaches weren't a necessity, never mind lock picking tools. Inside, the floor was covered in a fine layer of dust - a single room and spartanly furnished from the prior owner which could well have meant a tennant almost of a decade ago rather than anything more recent.

The bed itself was no more than a beaten old matress heaped up on a corner with a few blankets tossed atop and a pillow that had seen better brightenings. A large window with some old heavy white curtains stained by time and weather so a disgusting brown blocked out the worst of the cold itself from outside. A dresser in the other corner of the room with the stub of a candlestick in a pewter holder with a broken full length mirror just next to it. The final piece of furnature was a chamberpot underneath the dresser, a pair of stacked pewter plates and a pair of wooden cups.
