Arlyth sighed, and embraced his other aunt, who hugged him close then lead him by the hand back to her quarters. "You, sleep in there." Sylquis said kindly, pointing to a small bedroom. Her tone was firm though, "My bedroom is just across the living room, the door on your left, Arlyth." she told him, "Now, there is a bathroom attached to your room, and I expect a bath will do you good. You have been riding all day after all." she planted a kiss on his forehead. "The door right in front of you is another room, and through that is a storeroom, study, library and a dinning room. I expect you not to explore, but to go straight to bed. If I discover you've been nosing around, you'll be in trouble, understood?" she informed him, her tone stern. "Yes, Aunty." Arlyth replied, too tired to argue. With a long look at the boy, she finished, "I have to go to this meeting now, but I'll come in and say goodnight to you later. If your still awake, I'll be very annoyed, as I expect the meeting will run late. You may sit up for half an hour and read, after your bath. I expect you in bed though." Arlyth nodded, and hugged her. "Goodnight Aunty." he answered. "I'm not going yet" Sylquis replied, "I want to make sure you've settled in, first. Now, come with me."

The cleric led him through to his bedroom, and nodded in approval; his bags were already there; and so were several clothes of similar size to his. He could be measured for more tommorow. Arlyth's bedroom had two more doors to it; one lead to the bathroom, the other lead somewhere else. There were several bookshelves in the room, a small four poster bed, and a couple of wardrobes and a chest of drawers, and a chest at the foot of his bed. The floor was carpeted, and warm to the touch. Sylquis held her nephew in a tight embrace, and whispered, "Do not concern yourself with Alliene. Though somewhat untactful in calling her aunt, you were polite." she kissed his forehead, "Well you weren't to know. Just try not to call her that again, dear. I can only protect you so much, and patronising her would not be a wise move." the boy only nodded, confused and clung to his aunt. "Hush dear, it's all right. I'm not angry with you - if I was, you'd know it. Now, its time for your bath. If you need anything, just call a servant." With gentle hands, Sylquis began to undress him, lifting his tunic over his head. About three minuets later, Arlyth was in his bath, and Sylquis was outside her quarters, and marching towards the meeting. Entering the room without knowing, she closed the door, and chanted under her breath. The room became warded, and she nodded to Alliene. "I have placed my enchantments upon the room, and it is sealed. If you wish to place your own wards upon it?" she didn't mention her nephew, and it didn't look like she was going to. She ignored the twins as well.
