I13DT - En Fuego

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

Samantha came in at the end of her workday and closed the door again before leaning against it with a sigh.

"Well, that was interesting."

"What's this now?" Nailah's voice comes from the living room.

"You already know," she chuckled as she pushed off from the door and started towards Nailah, "But so as not to give you a headache, Altamira paid me a visit."

"I think she dropped off Roland at the Lighthouse, but I wasn't quite sure."

"What did she say?" she adds after a short pause. She may not be surprised but she does seem a bit antsy.
