A few keeping to their books in the library where it was cozy. Others followed the tunnels, studying the crystals and stones that they could find. Aurthur spent time in the kitchen, cooking meals, while Stormy and her mate still kept to their chamber. Only leaving to fetch a bite to eat.

The holidays were coming. She had hid trinkets and toys away for this time of the year, but there still would be a few trips out to the market to pick out odds and ends. a scarf here, and candy there.
