Chaenyn can see this mansion from her house in Arcadil and gets shivers everytime she does, but warns every one to stay away, being very untrusting of what is inside.

*Not heading the warnings of what lay within the building. Kesmi ventured close to the gates and peared inside. She wondered if anyone actually lived in the building. Her ears twitched as she listened to the eerie stilness around and looked back over her shoulder toward the town again. Shrugging she reached out with a hand toward the gate to see if she could open the gate and step inside.*

The gate seems to open freely at Kesmi's attempt; it almost seems to have been oiled too much as it makes not a sound. The gardens spread beyond the gate are various and a little odd. Giant daffodil like plants the size of dinner plates shiver to the right of the gate, as if to welcome Kesmi. A fountain trickles twenty feet ahead where a path circles it then branches into five different directions(North, North East, East, South, West). The keep looks dark as normal, contrasted from the cheery gardens. It's hard to make out its lower half that is hidden by layers of hedges and plant life; you may have to get quite a bit closer before you can examine for activity on the lower floors.

*Surprised that the gate opened and she quietly stepped inside closing the gate behind her. She looked back to make sure that no one had followed her and try to convince her to go back. No she wouldn't go back, not if she got this far. Turning back toward the building she crept along the path toward the front. Once and a while she stopped to smell the scent of a flower, but then she moved on. Stepping off the path as to not get noticed all that easily she stepped between the flowers becareful as to not step on any. She didn't want to get yelled at. Slowly she made her way toward a window after getting past a hedge she peeked in. Hoping not to get caught.*
((Added))
*Shimmer stood a few feet behind her guardian sniffing at a flower. It smelt so sweet to her and she wondered if she could eat it. walking to another flower she smiffed at that one too. They all smelt soo good. Looking around she had lost sight of Kesmi. Looking around franticly she let out a Chirp (Not sure what sound they make), loud enough for many to hear.*

The last flower Shimmer sniffs quivers as if disturbed from sleep; slightly odd but this whole garden is a little odd after all, it is supposed to be winter yet it almost looks to be spring or summer here, though the wind is still quite frosty.
As Kesmi wipes away a circle of frost coating the window she can see the crisp decor of the inside; hard wood panels line the wall encircling what seems to be an old fashioned den or study. The inside looks to be well cared for making the rumours of lord D's passing seem invalid. A movement can be heard inside as a small lizard looking creature scrambles out of the room at a quick pace; it was almost the size of a fully grown cat.
A dark skinned woman dressed in a rather old fashioned black and crimson maid's outfit approaches Shimmer; from a distance she almost seemed to blend in with the surroundings and had not been noticed. As she nears Shimmer she bends slightly and holds out a small and delicate hand, "My, such a little Tohopka, too young to speak yet I suppose."

*Shimmer chirped again and backed away as the woman approached. Backing away more into the flowers she ducked low and covered her head with her paws while laying on the ground. She shook all over, even as the woman spoke to her she quivered. Opening an eye Shimmer looked at the woman and slowly, timidly stepped forward and sniffed at the woman's hand. After sniffing a couple times she retreated again chirping loudly hoping her guardian would hear.*
*Kesmi watched the lizard like creature scurry across the floor in the room, then ducked to the side hoping that she wasn't seen. Blinking she looked around, only now noticing that Shimmer wasn't at her side. Now where did she go... Kesmi thought as she made her way from her hidding place back into sight. She noticed the woman near Shimmer and backed away a bit knowing that she would be in trouble now. Clearly she had passed onto someone's Property without their permission, but as they always said, 'Curiousity killed the cat.'. Gathering what courage she could and aftering Shimmers frightened chirp, she steped forward and gathered Shimmer into her arms. She watched the woman in the maids outfit and backed away a little. knowing all too well that trouble was coming.* "Sorry to have tresspassed." Kesmi said as she turned back toward the gate to leave.
*Shimmer, now feeling safe in her gaudian's arms stopped shaking. Her eyes remained on the woman that had approached her. In her mind she didn't know that she had the ability to speak. Looking at her guardian, she wondered if she could talk to Kesmi, or just other Tohopkas.*

Seeing Kesmi's and Shimmer's actions the woman raises a hand to her lips and her eyes flash with naivety; had she given the wrong impression? "Oh, nonsense child! You are the first one to stop by in..." she lowers her hand and stretches it slightly as she examines her fingers, "Well. It has been many years now; the Lord of these grounds used to enjoy the company of others... the fame of visiting the gardens died out long ago, however."
The woman takes a soft step to the side of Kasmi, as if to catch a glimpse of her face. "Wherever have my manners gone in all these years? I am Peppie, welcome to the Court of Lord Domonik. You are very brave to come here, with all the rumours drifting around."

*Kasmi looked at Peppie and smiled lightly.* "My name's Kesmi and this is Shimmer. I haven't heard any of the rumors that have been going around sadly. If I had I still would have come here, to see what all their fuss was about." She said looking back at the building and around at the flowered gardens. "But I am curious as to why no one has come up here? Surely the place isn't haunted or anything."
*Shimmer sniffed at the maid again and chriped a hello to her and wriggled herself from Kesmi's arms and back to the ground where she landed on her belly with a thump. Standing quickly she shook herself off and went over to a flower and sniffed at it. Apparently forgetting the terrible fright she had had not too long ago.*
((Addad Again sweatdrop / edited ))
*a shrilled chirp came from deeper within the garden as a deep red male tohopka came charging from here he had been. his eyes wide with fright as though something had scared him. But all there was behind him was a butterfly. As he looked back he ran into the maid and fell to the ground. As the butterfly landed on his tail the small tohopka curled up into a small shaking ball.*

Peppie slowly lowered her hands to lift the tumbling Tohopka into a mother's hold, with the male Tohopka cradled in her arms. At Kesmi's words she turns her gaze upwards to the building, "Not haunted my dear, just magical." A chuckle escapes her lips as if she had made some sort of joke.
The flowers around Shimmer turn their leaves inwards as if trying to protect their leaves, and their petals almost seem to extend in an inviting way. When toughed, however, they quiver as if they have been tickled.
As Kasmi gazes around she can see the snow drifting downwards high in the sky; though it must vanish at some point because all of it seems to avoid reaching any other part of the scenery.
Peppie turns her gaze from the building back to Kasmi, "How old might you be?"

*Crimson Star blinked as he was picked up and looked at the one that held him. tilting his head to the side he tried to speak.* "He... Helloo..." He said stumbling a bit over how to say it.
*Shimmer looked at the leaves of the flower and sniffed at them before standing on her hind legs and stuck her nose into the blossom of the plant. She giggles a bit as the plant quivered and the leaves brushed against her belly.*
*Kesmi looked at Peppie as she asked about her age.* "Well last time I knew I was going on 22 in this coming summer." She answered hefting yet another Tohopka egg that seemed to appear from thin air. "This place is wonderous. I sure would like to explore the inside of the mannor. Though would the owner allow it?" she asked hoping it wouldn't be any trouble.

Peppie smiles down at Crimson Star and sets softly on the ground, "Quite a fast one, isn't he?" she suddenly turns her gaze to Kesmi, "The owner? You mean Lord Domonik? He has been out in the gardens all morning; I'm quite surprised he didn't run into you first. I don't suppose he would mind, but it would be better not make any assumptions. The Tea Time is in a quarter of an hour, if you don't mind waiting I could ask them." she says with her usual gaily smile.

"Quite fast indeed." She said watching Crimson Star trot over to there Shimmer was and tried to sniff at the same flower she was at. "I suppose I could wait. I's glorious out here. Everything is so lively." She said looking around the gardens. "As am I. I gues I have the silence of a cat." Kesmi said sarcasticly as her cat like ear twitched a bit. "But I can wait, keep them two out of trouble in the mean time as well."
*Shimmer pulled her nose from the flower and let Crimson get a wiff, but he was a little small and fell over. Shimmer giggled a little as she pushed her nose under his rear and helpped lift him up to get a good smell of the vlossom, which resolted in him falling off and landing on the flower.* "oops" Shimmer chimmed and frantically tried to find out if damage was done to the flower.
*Crimson had slipped from his sister's nose and fell onto the flower. Rolling to the side she watched it rise again, but not to its full height. Standing he pushed against it with his nose trying to get it o go back up. His body shook in fear of what may happen when he was caught with the damaged flower. Or damaged to his mind.*
