There is a click, a soft urging, almost whispered too soft to hear, but you can sense that you are being beckoned somewhere, lead to an elaborate open door with wood panels and great curls of gold leaf. You cannot see what is beyond the door, but it smells sour and sharp. Before you can turn over the thought of should you or shouldn't you, if you are the kind, there is a quiet push at your back and through the door you go . . .

Since you are a master of finding where things are, and you would hear the difference, your claws might scratch against stone occasionally. There is something different underneath the gravel around the edge of the maze . . .

What is this now?

[digs at it]

[dramatispersonae]

The claw scratches along a circle of gold with intricate designs. It is about three feet wide, and as you worry of it, you start to wonder about your appearance, your tone and inflection, how are you holding yourself, what topics will you mention, how will you speak of them . . . You need to present yourself properly in order to—In order to do what exactly?

I am always perfectly presentable.

The thoughts draw back as if quieted by his insistence, but the reason why still nags in a far, far corner.

It is for my pride and my mother's and for those that associate with me; and of course no-one should like to be sloppy or rude-mannered all of the time. I like to be neat and well-mannered.

Your thoughts aren't intruded upon anymore, but that was certainly strange.

You are very sweet, dear. Will you keep wandering the maze? Though, it isn't very interesting when you can see how to navigate it most of the time. The hedges are hacked into making it quite low in places.

[shipwithwings]

[taking to the air to see if those hacked off sections are making any kind of real path]

[dormancy]

There are none. They are noticeably low around the bird-like creature, but it seems almost as if someone with a scythe went hacking with no real order at all.

The veranda?
