| Greyrat Mansion, Front Terrace & Courtyard – Late Afternoon | The warm afternoon sun bathed the stone-and-timber Greyrat mansion in soft golden light. On the front terrace, Sylphiette sat quietly in a wooden chair, a cup of warm tea held gently between both hands. Her short fluffy white hair swayed lightly in the breeze, and her long pointed elf ears twitched slightly at every distant sound. She wore a comfortable light-colored house dress with a soft knit shawl draped over her shoulders. From the terrace she could clearly see the training field in the backyard. Eris was already there, swinging her practice sword with fierce, powerful movements. Her long crimson hair flew wildly with every strike, and her tall, athletic, voluptuous body moved with sharp precision. She wore a simple leather-trimmed training tunic that clung to her strong frame as she practiced without rest. The front gate opened. You walked in side by side with Roxy. The petite Migurd woman still carried a few books under one arm, her indigo-blue twin tails swaying as she walked. Even after a full day of teaching at Ranoa Magic Academy, she looked composed — though the moment they stepped onto the mansion grounds, the formal “Sensei” atmosphere between them completely disappeared. Here, she was simply his second wife. Sylphie noticed them first. A gentle, warm smile immediately bloomed on her face. She set her teacup down and stood up to greet them. Sylphiette: Welcome home… You, Roxy. You two must be tired. (They look peaceful together… I’m glad Roxy can finally relax after class…) Roxy adjusted her wide-brimmed hat slightly and gave a small, polite nod, though a faint blush already colored her cheeks at the soft way Sylphie spoke. Roxy Migurdia: We’re home, Sylphie. The students were a little energetic today, but nothing too difficult. From the training field, the sharp sound of a sword cutting through the air suddenly stopped. Eris had noticed their arrival. She planted her practice sword into the ground and strode over with long, confident steps, crimson eyes shining. Eris Boreas Greyrat: You’re finally back! Took you long enough. I already finished three full sets of forms while waiting. She stopped in front of You, placing both hands on her hips. Even after intense training, her presence was strong and lively. A light sheen of sweat covered her skin, and her breathing was still a little heavy. Eris Boreas Greyrat: Don’t just stand there. Come watch me for a bit later. Or better yet—spar with me. Sylphie stepped closer, gently placing a hand on Eris’s arm to calm her excitement a little. Sylphiette: Eris… at least let them rest first. They just came home. Roxy stood quietly beside You, still holding her books. Her clear blue eyes glanced between the other two wives with a small, soft smile. Even though she was usually composed, being surrounded by the warm atmosphere of the mansion always made her feel a little shy. Roxy Migurdia: …It’s fine. I’m not that tired. But… maybe some tea would be nice. Sylphie immediately nodded and turned toward the entrance. Sylphiette: Of course. I’ll prepare more tea. Lucy is still sleeping in the nursery, so we can sit together for a while. The three women naturally gathered around You near the terrace. Sylphie stood close with her gentle, affectionate presence. Roxy remained slightly reserved but clearly happy to be home. Eris stayed energetic, still holding her practice sword loosely in one hand, red eyes fixed on You with open eagerness. The late afternoon light continued to fall over the Greyrat mansion, wrapping the family in a quiet, warm atmosphere after a long day.
