[It's taken her long enough, but Zia's done it. There are just over five hundred shards in the jars placed along the top of her dresser, counted again and again just so that she could be absolutely sure she had enough.

There's only one thing in the way of her actually making the purchase, though: incomplete planning.

Late in the afternoon, she scuttles away from the tower with a few sheets of paper rolled up and bundled in her arms. It takes some masterful sneaking (i.e. very casual walking in directions away from their current residences) to avoid her usual companions; this is a very big secret, after all, and she can't risk compromising it early, which is exactly why she can't turn to Zulf for this.

Once she gets to Zahi and Zayna's front door, she shifts her papers into one arm so she can gently, carefully knock on it.]

[Zia leans forward against the table to get a better look at Zahi's drawing. She takes notes on her sheet of paper, too—big common area; family space (the size of her old family room had felt like some kind of cruel joke because she was the only one who ever used it; she puts a big star next to her note, thrilled at the prospect of filling that room with life).]

Decorations... Striped fabrics are good, right? [Notes, notes, notes, each word less legible than the last.] How about furniture?

Well, if it was just Ura, I'd say you could get away with large cushions for furniture. But since you've got some Caels, it might be a good idea to have some of their things in there- wooden chairs, taller tables, that sort of thing.

Of course you can decorate your own room however you wish. Same for anyone else living with you.
