Kae had to smile as she entered her room. It was completely and utterly perfect. The floor was coated in a textured white moss peppered with deep green shadows cast by the gnarled trees growing on the walls. These walls, when not obscured by the crawling trees, were dripping with thick vines and lit with a strange daylight. The room was completely circular. It was strangely large, making her wonder if it was meant for two people, but for now there was only one bed. It sat in the exact center of the room- tacky? and was also a perfect circle with a single pillow in the center. Her smile widened. Apparently, the room knew how she slept- curled up in an unnaturally tight ball with her arms around her knees. There was even a small stand next to the bed for her cap and armor, a strangely-shaped closet door across the room that had been designed to blend into one of the tree trunks, and three windows facing, respectively, the lake, a side view of the school, and the mountains she could see way off to the south.
She didn't know at first what the seemingly antlered stand rooted behind the bed and dipping forward to hang a few feet over it was, until Torrix slithered in, immediately clambered onto it, and dropped into an experimental sleeping position with his wings curled forward and his neck dipping. It was perfectly aligned so that his wings would be wrapped around both of them in sleep.
It's adequate, Torrix said haughtily, trying to hide the joyful laugh in his voice.
Ha ha, very funny. She dropped her bags carelessly on the floor and, taking a last grinning glance at the room, ran out to find her next class.
