Re: Alexis' Thread (xivvix)
The place was surprisingly sensible looking, for being housed within a pocket of hewed stone. While banners ran the length of the short corridor that separated the main passageway from the bulk of the cavern, they gave way to low, flat-roofed buildings that had been carefully stacked two-high. The greenery here was sparse, but it existed and was lovingly trimmed and trained into elegant shapes at the crossroads of cobblestone paths. The place looked like a small village had tried to climb into the cavern, and had actually done a fairly good job of it.
At the center of the cavern was a building one story higher, taking up a full block of its own. Flags hung from its corners and over the tall entryway, limp without wind to lift them. Alexis looked completely ordinary, here, given that all of the people that she could see were human -- the cavern must belong to them!
