It is a large room with colorful banners splayed across the walls, a room that Elyria has yet to modernize, though she really doesn't plan too. There are three, long old tables in the center of the room and roughly twenty wooden chairs line the tables altogether.
The floor isn't carpetted, though Elyria has gone over the stone with a wooden lining, a tedious task that took her days to complete on her own. There is a china cabinet near the main entrance, and an oil painting above a smaller door that leads into the kitchen.
Elyria held open the door for Gabriel as she entered the dining hall. She looked around the grand room silently, "I don't use this for meals for obvious reasons." She said.
"Why not?" Gabriel asked, obvlivious to anything. He gazed around the room in awe.
"Well... it's large... and quite daunting to a solo diner." Elyria replied.
Gabriel nodded, laughing lightly at himself. "duuh.. sorry, this room is just so... breathtaking"
"Glad you like it, it was a lot of work to get it this far." Elyria smiled.
Gabriel smiled. "You did a marvelous job on it so far" he said softly, gently placing a hand on Elyria's shoulder.
"Thanks," Elyria murmured, ducking her head shyly, "I've been trying to fix everything up since I moved in here..."
"If you need help with that, don't be afraid to ask" Gabriel smiled softly.
Elyria nodded, "yeah, I'm sure a little bit of help would be quite welcome." She smiled.
Gabriel grinned. "I'll gladly help!"
"Hmmm, let's see..." Elyria said thoughtfully, "You saw all the guest rooms last night, as well as the music room... That leaves a decent climb up to the keep and the clocktower..."
"Oooo" Gabriel smiled, sounding excited. "A tower..." he smirked widely, trying to show that he was joking around.
Elyria chuckled and shook her head, "Yeah... It's my reprieve..." She said.
Gabriel nodded. "I can imagine why"
Elyria stretched, "Follow me then, we'll head on up... The staircase is just past the dining hall."
Gabriel nodded and followed Elyria.
They travelled up for a long way before the door to
Thekeep came into view, and Elyria led the way inside.
