Welcome Home(ish)
Home.
With Morgan's mind providing the reference point and the fundamental powers of Equestria providing the means, the three blinked across time and space in a heartbeat, to the foyer of Stately Knight Manor.
Instead of three ponies, two humans and a fairy got to their feet in the middle of a wide, sprawling mansion entrance that looked halfway out of a fairytale castle with its sweeping stairs and upper-floor landings, while the room itself spread off in multiple halls and other doors leading deeper in. All in impeccable taste, of course -- money could and did buy that.
Rising up, Morgan stretched his arms over his head with a groan. God, that felt good. He felt good. "We made it," he said, conversationally but with a buried spark of excitement deep inside his voice just burning to get out.

"Wow....it's really nice looking Big Brother!"

This...this was their home here? This beautiful - no, that wasn't a strong enough word for this place...magnificent was better - manor, was...theirs? To live in? To raise a family in?
If she'd been more related to a Pinkie Pie, Nephenee might have had to literally pick her jaw up off the carpet. As she wasn't, she just had to find the presence of mind to close her mouth a mite. Still, using her husband's hand as leverage, the farm girl continued blinking in appreciation as she rose, leaned against him for support.
When she finally found her voice, all she could say for a moment was, "...Dang...Ah...W-wow..."
And this was only the foyer! The rest of it...if it was this nice...
The poor farm girl's brain was very much blown out of the water, even with her helmet on! But at least the animals and Pokémon voiced their support.

Not that he NEEDED luxury; Morgan had grown up in fairly ascetic conditions, and had been just as happy living in an apartment or a few rooms over a dojo as he had been here. But going big never hurt, either.

"The only other place I've seen this big was the Scarlet Devil Mansion..and even that seems small now. It still didn't really hit until now though!"

"The cathedral in Sienne's an' Castle Crimea's a bit taller than this, but..." Neph'd lived in a small, simple home most of her life, and been in poverty most of it, so it was a bit different for his wife! She blinked some more in awe...before 'eep!"ing in shock - quite literally, actually, when Chrysanthemum, now in her normal form, had decided to Static her out of her brain-adled state! The Pokémon laughed in a series of short, bleated sylabbles of her name, as did Myrddin in almost a barking sound; the Sentinel, relaxing after the surprise, found herself smoothing down the flyaways on her head, blushing a bit. "T-think she's sayin' Ah should st-stop starin'...w-well, guess ya should show us around...How big is this place?"

"How many rooms are there Big brother? Does it do on for a long time?"
She's full of questions apparently.
no subject
"Well, if Ah remember what he's told me...Ah don't know how many rooms, but it's got a swimmin' pool an' gun range an' stuff? If it's a full-size pool like back h-" Wait...Equestria was a home, but so was this place, now. "Back in Equestria, that'll be real big...sure there's somewhere for workin' out, too. Didn't think 'bout ya havin' a stable, though...but Ah guess ya would hafta have somethin' to keep Ve-"
Her eyes lit up as she remembered hearing of Morgan's critters, and she beamed at them both. "...Vector in! Oh gosh, ya gotta show us Vector! An' Zipper, an' your other kitty!" To Cirno, she clarified, "Vector's his chocobo, like that big birdy Miss Shan has, an' Zipper's his doggie!"
Well, at least she was out of 'awkward farm girl' mode?

Surmounting the last step up to the balcony, Morgan gestured them down one side wing that stretched off down the distance.

"Well, we should put things away at some point; even if they're stuffed in the bags," She held up her bag of holding, which still looked pretty small, all things considered, "our weapons sure ain't." And considering the holder on her back had all of her lances in it (and that wasn't counting all the other weapons she'd acquired)...
"'An' Cirno should look at the rooms to see which one she'd like, Ah reckon. But uh, do wanna see the kitchen soon, too."
She'd almost said 'my kitchen', but considering there was another woman in the house, she wasn't sure that'd be wise just yet. "Maybe someone should close their eyes, spin, an' point in some direction." Nephenee mused with a chuckle. "But if we're up here already, let's go ahead an' check bedrooms? Those're up here, right?" Heck if she knew. She was just trying to get her head on straight again.

Needless to say, the bedroom beyond was as rich and elegant as the rest of the mansion. Dominated by a bed the size of a county, the room had other furniture purely for the aesthetics of it all -- bookcases and display cases loaded down with martial arts studies and paraphernalia, primarily. A wide archway led off into the bathroom beyond, while another doorway stood half-open to reveal itself as the walk-in closet.

Remember Neph, bitty fairy used to try and sleep in a corner. Rooms are still a fairly new thing to her..if only because her homes tended to melt or get blown up by warring fairies. either way, She's still fairly overwhelmed because this was a lot bigger and nicer then the mansion back home.
Although at the reveal there is a tilt of her head and a look of surprise.
"This is huuuuuge. Bigger then the shrine even! How is it this big?"
Didn't mean it as a slight against the miko...but Hakurei shine is small!

That was, of course, beyond the shock and, frankly, excitement she felt seeing the room. Pushing down her awkwardness, she took a breath. "W-wow..." And when she looked to Morgan, she couldn't help but ask the completely redundant question of, "T-this is our room??" There was no way it wasn't, in her mind.
The Sentinel slowly let go of his hand, stepping forward a few strides to get a better look. Geez, she thought their room back in Equestria was nice...to be fair, it was! But this one was probably double its size, and while it didn't have her prints on it -yet-, she loved it all the same; after all, she did enjoy green and woods, and it offered both. Oh, and the cases! Excuse her, she's just going to look at those for a second...before turning her attention to the canopy bed. "This is..."
Gorgeous. All of it was, and she found herself having to shove away being a bit overwhelmed. At least she'd had a small taste back in Equestria of nicer things, or this would be far more difficult! Still, country girl born and raised...

He hadn't been back here in forever. Leaving his family to admire or gape in awe, he left them standing there with a gentle brush of his hand across Neph's back as he passed. His destination was a door to the side, which proved to lead to a closet when he opened it -- walk-in, of course, and Morgan stepped into a room the size of a normal bedroom just to reacquaint himself with a human wardrobe once more.
no subject
"This is just huge and there is so many interesting things., Big Brother, where did you find them all?"
She turns towards the open closet, eyes wide and amazed the entire time.
no subject
"Ah reckon some o'it's from where he went to school, maybe, and learnin' more martial arts stuff after?" While it was said to Cirno, it was also very obviously asking the Mage to answer whether or not that was accurate. Meanwhile, she too was peeking into the closet, ducking a bit so Cirno could see better. Wow...that was a big closet!
no subject
Morgan winked at Neph as he passed by them, heading back for the main door. "Your room'll be right down here in the hall, Cirno. If that works for you."
Like I said- Getting to them~
A simple shrug and she turns her attention to the next bit, dropping she sheepish look. "Yeah, I'm good with where ever. You guys know that." A simple smile at that. Again, she slept in corners and in the forest more times then she wished to count.
whoops now I'm the late one x)
Carefully removing her helmet so Cirno had a more comfortable perch and placing it on the bed with the rest of her stuff, the pair followed behind, looking much like a blue and green totem pole. "Jus' 'cause ya are, don't mean ya shouldn't make sure ya like it." And it was close to their room, it seemed, which ought to make her feel better. "Lead the way, sweetie." Just make sure to dodge critters.
no subject
"I hope you're good with here, then!"
no subject
That gets her to pause as she stares at the room. The blue part of this totem pole might be a bit in shock. Not ever expecting much this was something she thought to see in the Scarlet Devil mansion.
"I...It's really big and nice and...Um..."
She's trying!
no subject
"Big 'nuff for ya an' Frost to run 'round in, Ah reckon. Bet it'll look even better once ya decorate it~" And now that they were back in a place with AC, it wouldn't be too hard to keep the fairy cool enough, either.
