OOC: the pools and the gardens are located in the east wing (just to clarify for those who may be confused)

Kurama strolls down the hallway until he reachs the door marked 'GARDENS'. He opens the door and walks down that hallway, looking at the different doors. There were six doors, each with a name of a different style of garden on them. He randomly enters one door. He is astounded to find a large assortment of flowers and other plants in this greenhouse. Suddenly he senses someone about. He turns to see a beautiful blond haired girl with blue eyes. She has her curly hair pulled back by two flower clips. She smiles charmingly at him.
"Hello." she says. "I'm Xanthe, one of the gardeners."
"Hello." he replies. "I'm Kurama, a student here. I was wondering if I could look around your gardens."
"Oh, feel free. Ask the others and myself if you want anything." Xanthe informs.
Kurama smiles.
"Thank you very much." he says as he begins to meander around the greenhouse.
"Just go through the doors, all the gardens are joined that way." Xanthe adds.
Kurama nods and continues to look around. He finds a door and opens it. He enters a rose garden and starts to look around. Someone comes around the corner and he stares. It is Xanthe again, but her hair is a lighter shade of blond and has only one ribbon keeping it back.
"You're not Xanthe." he realises.
She grins impishly at him.
"No." she replies. "I'm Yolande, Xanthe's sister."
"Twins?" Kurama guesses.
"Not exactly." she replies. "Would you like to meet us all? That is, if you plan on being here often."
"Alright." Kurama agrees.
Yolande grins and whistles once. Women start to pour into the room. Kurama gapes as the seven women assemble. They are all identical in eye colour and height, all a little shorter than Kurama, but their hair colour differs slightly for each woman.
"We're septuplets." Yolande explains. "We all tend to the gardens."
Kurama nods and listens as the girls go through the introductions. Alethea is the oldest and the head gardener. Berenice is next and tends to the countries' garden. Hermoine tends to the plants and trees garden. Iris tends to the exotic garden. Xanthe tends to the greenhouse. Yolande tends to the rose garden. And Zenobia, the youngest, tends to the tropical garden. Kurama smiles at them all and then explains what he is there for... |
