"Seraphina! We have to get going!" James called from the doorway of the house.
"Alright!" She called. She picked her scarf off of the pile of clothes next to her. She dunked it in the water and stood up. She wrapped it around her neck. Next she piled on the various petticoats, hoops, and yard of fabric that was her dress. Finally she pulled on her gloves and boots.
She meet James next to the carriage. He had already had it packed, so they were set to go. James opened the door and held out a hand to help his sister into the carriage.
"Do we really have to leave?" she sighed.
"You know we have to." James told her for the umpteenth time. He knocked on the carriage frame to let the driver know they were all set.
A few hours later, they would be at the Ambrose Mansion.
"Wake uupp!" Opal said. "We're suppose to be leaving!"
"For where?" the elder sister replied drowsily.
"For Ambrose's mansion!"
That was enough to wake her up. Her sister with her wide golden brown eyes haad been courtious enough to step away from her bed. "I'll be ready in a minute," she said, pulling herself out of bed. "Go entertain yourself outside for a bit."
Her younger sister scampered out of the room.

Seraphina took her brothers hand as he helped her out of the carriage. They grabbed their bags and set off for the front door. James rang the bell and they waited for someone to get the door.
The siblings entered the house. The foyer was huge! a spiral staircase was on the end of the room. Hallways lead from the room to either side.
"You must be the Lightwoods," the women said. "Follow me, I'll take you to your suite."
Seraphina turned to James, lifting a delicate eyebrow. He shrugged and followed the women.
She lead them up the stairs and to the right.
"Here you are! I'll leave you two to unpack. Dinner will be at six o'clock. I expect everyone should have arrived by then." the women left the room.
Seraphina walked into one of the rooms in the suite. "James! Look at the size of this bed! And the tub is enormous!"
James laughed, turning to his own room, he began to unpack.
Leo arrived at the Mansion just as a carriage pulled away. He wasn't really interested in any of these other people. All he was in it for was the money, the house, and the status. Grabbing his luggage, he walked to the door. Once inside, a women lead him to a suite. He unpacked, meaning he put his suitcases in the room. Then he left to explore.
Opal hurried after her, carrying her own luggage.
"Welcome! Follow me to your suite as I assume you're one of Mr. Smith's guests!"
They nodded, soon at their room. She noticed the room across was occupied before, after recieving a bit more information, the sisters entered. Noticing a second door, she slipped unceremoniously out of ger shoes and sprinted towards it as Opal struggled to beat her. "You get that room!" she grinned, pulling in her suitcase.
"No fair!" Opal whined.
"Life's not fair," she replied, beginning to unpack.

"Don't," James told her, looking at a rose bush.
"I wasn't going to!" Seraphina said indignantly.
"I'm going for a walk," she said, slipping her shoes back on.
Opal just muttered something, continuing to put away her things. Celeste exited the room and found her way outside she spotted Seraphina and James ahead, pausing. She wasn't good with people besides Opal, mumbling unintelligably and something usually randomly bursting into flame.

Seraphina notice him freeze. Waving her hand in front of his face, she said, "Hey, you still there?"
He moved her hand down, and continued to stare.
Sighing, Seraphina looked too. "Ooooh! Lets go say hi!"
She tugged James along the path, walking towards the girl.
She then noticed Seraphina and James walking towards her.

The girl was pretty. Seraphina hoped she and James got along. James needed someone other than his sister in his life!
She was cut off by Opal jumping off a tree branch from one of the nearby trees on the grounds.
"I'm Opal Jones!" she declared though she quickly shut up at the glare Celeste gave her through piercing blue-violet eyes. Opal quickly brushed off a stray feather which had clung to her from her brief previous form.
(Also added more detail and the background to my forms~)

"Hi," James bent and kissed both of their hands.
"So where are you two from?" Seraphina asked.
Leo strolled into the garden. He watched the four other people talked. He was content to sit back and watch. He leaned against a tree.
"Oh here and there. We move around a lot. We've lived in almost every part of the country. But my favorite spot was when we lived near the ocean," Seraphina replied, remembering the feel of the water there.
"Really?" James asked, surprised. "I thought you loved the house by Lake Andrea."
Pulling out his pocket watch, James looked at the time. "It's getting late. Should we head for dinner?"
"We can't have a lady as lovely as yourself unaccompanied," the gentleman it was attached to explained.
Oh my, he is very attractive, Seraphina thought, talking his arm.
Leo gave her a self satisfied smirk. Well, she certainly warrants more attention.
