STERLING AND ONYX
YOUR PATRON ROOM DETAILS: Aka this is where you tell us what you picked (and how much it cost, just the total is fine). I only need one person per knight group to answer this!

INDIVIDUAL
What did you spend with your 100 points?:

What makes a home warm?

How can knights bring warmth to others?

Did you incorporate that into your room or your patron's (Maleficent or Beauty) room? If so, how?

What did you spend with your 100 points?:

I've already a proper bed, desk and wardrobe, and at first I was at quite the loss to think of things I was in want of. A fireplace, naturally, as it is cold in this realm, and then a small but well-made rug, for under foot near the bed, and a flowering plant that I could tend and keep, when the outside climate is so inhospitable to my patron's gardens.

More than that, I couldn't think I would need. However, Sasuke kindly gave me his remaining points... and then had quite a few suggestions on what I ought purchase with them. I suppose that is only fitting, as by now it is nearly as much his space as mine. With those remaining points I have obtained us a "kotatsu", which he tells me is a table set with blankets and a heater, which sounds quite fine for both the weather and company; he also bade me get us a chessboard, presumably so we've something to do whilst we sit at our table.

What makes a home warm?
A home is warmed by those you share it with, and by the sense of belonging you get from it. Moreover, a home is not a physical building so much as it is that very sense of belonging, itself. In that way, a home can move with you, wherever you may go.


How can knights bring warmth to others?
I shall tell you what I told Sasuke, when we discussed it earlier:
My first idea was that we could all contribute to the same idea of warmth, like a patchwork quilt. However... however, I think that is not quite the right of it. A patchwork quilt only serves its purpose when it is all assembled, with proper backing and every piece accounted for; in disparate pieces, a patchwork quilt is quite useless. Further, the loss of a even single piece weakens it, makes it easy for cold to seep in, and increases the likelihood of furhter wear.

Onyx, least, is not like that. Individually we all have our own purpose, our own use, and our own best way of accomplishing our set goal, even if our methods are distinct and, at times, incompatible. Seperated, we would still provide some measure of warmth; our value remains constant, alone or togeher.

...But still, when together, we can offer much more warmth than if we were apart. Like-- layering blankets upon a bed. The more of us there are, the warmer it will be.

...However, he gave me quite the look, for that. I think perhaps he did not appreciate the sentiment so much.

In a more practical sense, we bring warmth by being support and providers to others. For my own part, I try and be constant and reliable in that, so that the heroes and my fellow knights should never feel that lack.

Did you incorporate that into your room or your patron's room? If so, how?
...yes and no, for our patron. Certainly we only got her the one blanket. But we also filled her room with a collection of perfectly useful items which, when taken as a whole, make a rather delightfully garish distillation of the presence we clearly feel she has.

For myself, I certainly think so; now the room will be set with those things that help me feel that I belong there and, with the addition of both Sasuke and those things I obtained with his contributed points, hopefully be a space that offers belonging to others.
