(I hope you don't mind if I go into some details of the house?)

Fen followed the dutiful dog up the curved stairs and down a long hallway before turning to one with the label "Acker" on it in shiny plating. The dog stopped before the door and sat down. Fen went up and patted Xanthe's head a couple times.

"Thanks, fluffbun," she said.

She then went into the room and looked around. It was very neat and tidy, like a hotel room, the girl thought. Fen turned into the bathroom and stood before a large mirror with rectangular lights shining out onto her and a TV screen somehow embedded in it. Fen tugged her beanie off and redid her ponytail with the help of a comb she found on the bathroom counter, and washed her face with a wet washcloth. She then went back into the bedroom and tugged the hoodie off as she sat down on the luxurious bed, revealing a t-shirt underneath with the words "Ey Yo" printed in bubble letters on it. Typical teen fashion rarely makes sense. Fen leaned back and stared at the ceiling as she contemplated her new position.

''In all honesty, I have no idea how it came to this. I wonder how this'll change things from now on?''

She rolled over and glanced at the clock on the stand beside her, and saw that she still had more than 5 minutes before she should go down to the kitchen. She thought about maybe suiting back up, but found that it was much more comfortable to remain flat on the bed. She would have thus maintained this position if she hadn't heard a gunshot suddenly echo through the corridor.

Fen sat bolt upright, ready to act and blood suddenly pounding, before realizing, after what had just happened, that Cyzarine probably had something to do with it. She slid off the bed and pondered rushing over, and yet her lack of poise had already gotten her in big trouble today...

But to do nothing is the ultimate offense.

Fen got up and went over to Xanth, and bent down before the dog.

"Hey, can you take me to where that sound came from?"

The Labrador simply remained put, but slid out its tongue and began panting in a dog grin.

Fen could've facedesked at her own cluelessness. Okay, what did I expect, it's an animal, not a person.

"Xanthe. Cyzarine?"

The Labrador bolted upright and its ears perked up at the sound of its master, then set off towards Cyz's location with Fen following close behind. The heiress wasn't sure if she wanted it to be no big deal, amking her caution pointless, or an actual threat, which meant she would be put in even more danger.
