The long walk up the spiraling stone stairs was totally worth it. The tower, albeit a bit more quaint and smaller than
the veranda, opened up into a circular shaped ground, that held a series of benches in the center and also around the outter edges near the stone lipped walled railings while int he center was a crude version of a telescope. This telescope was used by Grand Duke's in the past, and was a common sight to visit at his exclusive parties.
But, for the moment, this tower vacant, except for one young lady clad in a most appropriate of attire- as her dress was that scattered with constellations, and similar star decore charmed her hair. Attalia Arrant had chosen wisely in her seclusion (where others were not so lucky), and just enjoyed a quiet seat, craning her neck up at the stars. The night was beautiful, the star light reflecting within her eyes as she leaned against the stone balcony that kept everyone whom visisted the tower, safe.
The sky was nearly cloudless, so she could see everything from the Great Constellation of Angsar, to the few lively dotted saintly constellations to his left. There was also the powerful, and prideful lion of the North, that of whose direction guided many North. She smiled and rested her cheek against her arm, remaining silent and serene, and not realizing soon, others might be visiting this tower as well.
So when Lord Edward and Riley
did show up, she only smiled but did not look their way, assuming they were having a father and son moment as Edward stepped out into to the open tower top.
"Here it is, the Grand Duke's fame star gazing tower," he said, huffing a bit from the walk up. "It's quite the site isn't it? Come on, let's take a look at the view." And he coaxed Riley to join him as she stepped towards the opposite end of the circular tower so that he and Riley were facing North, while Attalia with he back to them, was still sitting alone, facing south.
