[ With Sheva having disappeared back through the mirror and her cats being collected by her former bondmate, Vex is now the sole occupant of her house. It's oddly lonely, something she hadn't expected to feel, so there's a welcoming smile for Lan Xichen when she opens the door to him. (Trinket is absent - currently spending time down at the forge, keeping an eye on Percy for her, or enjoying the heat? probably a bit of both, really.) ]

It's no trouble, darling. I invited you, after all. [she steps in, and gestures for him to enter] Please, come in.

[ As promised, there is tea waiting, pot steaming. There are couches to sit on, or large floor cushions, whatever the guest's preference. ]

You can use the washroom upstairs now, or after tea, if you like. It's the red door on the left.
