A grand manor, once housing a single noble family, had become one of the centers of shadier dealings in Hyrule Town. On the outside, it doesn't look terribly different from a typical nobleman's mansion, despite its surroundings being significantly more drab. It isn't until one ventures inside that the truth becomes quite apparent. The entire house almost seems in a haze, one of pleasure and passion. Here, people can spend their rupees for a night of companionship.
Despite its seemingly simple purpose, the staff of the House of Orchids is diverse, with many different roles filled. Some people hold games for patrons to take part in, others guard the place and the staff from any ruffians. And strangest of all is perhaps the woman who owns the place, said to employ a strange charming magic...
Cerise pulled her robe over her shoulders as she rose out of her curtained bed, but made no move to fasten it. There was nobody in her chambers that wasn't quite used to seeing her body. She looked out the window to the morning sky - a sunny day. She took in a deep breath. "Such a clear sky. Perfect weather for a walk," she said, following it up with a sigh. "Perhaps one day, when those like us are no longer shunned for what we seek and love."
She let out a low giggle and turned back towards her bed. "Ah, but listen to me prattle on about the 'honest' folk. It must grow tiresome."

Lucy stretched herself in bed and yawned. She then offered Cerise a smile. "Tiresome for who? This is paradise for me. Some long overdue vacations..." She said, getting up and starting to put on her robes. "You have no idea how good it feels to know the 10th comes after the 9th day, and so on. Most people take that for granted. Hylia can be a very cruel mistress."
She looked over her shoulder at Cerise as she fastened the lace on the back of her robe. "Should I fetch us some tea?"

Cerise smiled right back to Lucy, batting her eyelashes just a couple of times. "No, I suppose I wouldn't. I never thought I'd meet one envious of my experience of time. Just another way you're unique, my dear Lucy." She closed her robe as well, tying it closed with her sash.
"Tea would be lovely, dear. Don't deprive me of your presence too long, now." She let out a mirthful chuckle as she gazed at Lucy.

Lucy smiled before taking her leave. It took quite a few minutes, but eventually, she returned to Cerise with two cups of tea. She offered one to Cerise. "It's funny that you find me unique. Seeing what I've seen...doing what I do for you, plucking at the strings of time..." She chuckled. "I could fill this bedroom with Lucys." She leaned closer to Cerise, faces but a few inches apart "And I wouldn't be so unique after all."

Cerise smiled and gingerly took the offered cup of tea. "Oh, I have no doubt you could. And the image is a tempting one, I must admit. But..." She lifted a finger and gently stroked it along the underside of Lucy's cheek, eventually resting her hand on her cheek. "For all the Lucys across time, there's only one you, and only one of this moment. And I may be biased, my dear, but you happen to be my favorite version of you." She closed the gap between their faces to briefly kiss Lucy's cheek, dangerously close to her lips.

Lucy smiled, blushing lightly. "Well, aren't you the clever one. Gotta say, it's hard to find someone with that wit, I'm used to being the one. You're kinda stealing my thunder..." She joked, but didn't shy away from their closeness.

"Oh, I do try. Nothing but the best for you, after all. But I'm sure you'll find a way to best me." Cerise giggled and winked at Lucy, stroking her fingertips through her hair. "You're already so alluring, after all." Slowly, she started to pull away from Lucy to sip at her tea, though she notably didn't create any real distance between them.

She kissed Cerise's cheek. "We can go about this all day or we can go take care of the big manor...between you and me I think it'd all fall apart if we go with the fun option." Lucy winked, and took a step back, sipping her own tea.

Cerise chuckled and finally stepped back as well. "And yet the fun option remains tempting... Surely they can survive without us for an hour or two." She chuckled again. "I jest, of course. There's always the night, for you and I. But until then, let's see what needs to be done, shall we?" She walks to the door to their room, and slowly opens it for Lucy.

Lucy nodded and smiled when Cerise held the door for her, passing through so they could begin their day in the House of Orchids. She stayed just outside standing formally, waiting for Cerise.
