Kyra cut down a bunch of vines and brought them over to the base of the tree along with whatever moss and comfortable bedding she could find in the forest nearby.

Star looked to the mirror and smiled, lightly touching the braid and turning a bit to see the other angles. "It's lovely, thank you Qdoba" She said and turned to stand up
~~~
Rosie smiled and finished her meal happily. She was glad to be here with him. She just hoped they were never attacked while she was distracted by him.

Don took the map and looked at it "This can be very helpful, thanks" He said, studying the layout then taking lead so they could search the rest of this floor for any guards or surprises.

"I think I met him when I first arrived there" Estelle said and took her seat, drawing her legs up in the chair to wrap her arms around them "But to make a double of me? That's too weird"
~~~
Estelle took a seat beside him and curled her legs under her "How can this be?" She asked quietly
Graydon had taken to beating the vines with two rocks. A large flat one ans a small round one. He was making good time when Kyra came back. "Oh good! I'm glad you are back. It just occurred to me, that I don't know how to braid. I hope you possess that skill." He said hopefully.

Falkirk had returned some time ago and was talking quietly with Ender.

Qdoba smiled kindly and curtsied. "I'm glad it pleases you Princess. Now what form of gown would you like?" She asked.

Ericsson collected the dishes and said, "I'll take it from here. You just relax, I'll wash the dishes, it's the lest I can do." He said.

Zypher looked back to make sure the group was still all accounted for.
Cadeon stayed close to the wolves. He knew they knew how to infiltrate. Him, not so much. He copied their actions to learn what to do and what not to do. He would glance at Ember here and there, just to remind himself, that she was safe.

Markus stood and watched the monitor. He was quite confused by what he saw. Who were all these shifters and where were the Menagerie inhabitants. They must still be hidden in the back rooms. At lest from the doors on, he had visual. He'd watched the play back of the video and knew who exactly who was to blame for the blackout of the cameras in the holding cells, Aurelius. She had strategically done it all. Markus was seething in anger at the betrayal. He reached forward and pressed a button to the PA system. "What have we got here? The rabble come to take down the castle? Put down your guns and maybe I'll let you live. If you don't, you'll meet my special pets. Your choice." He said Darkly.
~~~
"I wouldn't put anything beyond that evil man. But the why, I don't understand. Unless a deal was struck. He likes to trade. Markus had captured a blue dragon. Maybe it has something to do with it." But then it occurred to her, "Wait, there wasn't a blue dragon when they rescued the other shifters. Maybe they moved it to a different floor. But not likely, they had it in the electronic cube. What color is your mother again? I forgot. " Ashton asked. A suspicious feeling flooding her.

Bertram thought a moment then started, "My people spoke of an occurrence of a body double. Such a double goes by many names. But the most common one is Doppelganger. A Doppelganger is a ghost of a living person. Some are believed to be evil in nature. The only way to know for sure, if you are a doppelganger. Is to see if you cast a shadow on the ground or a reflection in a mirror. Since it's still dark out, it will have to be the mirror." He said gently.
