Go up from the ground floor to first.

::Upstairs hallway.::

::See previous post.::

:: Lirie hops up the stairs three at a time, heading to the attic ::

(Lalala, I hope they won't mind...)

::Goes up the stairs two at a time and finds herself in the Upstairs hallway.::

::Val slowly goes down the staires and into th downstairs hallway.::

::Piper walks down the stairs and hears voices in the living room.::

(Azura must've brought everybody over.)

::She walks in.::

::Valerie goes down the stairs and into the downstairs hallway.::

::Piper stops at the top of the stairs and readjusts her grip on Azura. She looks up at Phoebe skeptically.::

"You got her?"

"Yes..."

::Phoebe sounds uncertain.::

"Okay."

::Piper starts walking backwards down the stairs, adjusting her strength to cope with the extra weight as Azura becomes tipped in her direction.::

::The sudden change jerks Azura's feet out of Phoebe's hands and she drops the psychic's legs with a panicked squeal.::

::Piper grits her teeth as Azura's feet smack onto the stairs and she almost drops her herself, but manages to hold her up. Barely.::

"Phoebe!"

"Oopsie!"

::Phoebe cringes and quickly picks Azura's legs back up again, trying to act like none of that happened.::

"Sorry! She's okay? No bones sticking out..."

(Wait, what's that??)

"You're such a klutz."

::Piper grunts and quickly brings them downstairs where they work their way down to the basement.::

::Amy slowly walks up the stairs and locates the bathroom.::

::Paige carefully makes her way up the stairs, the boxes in her arms held lovingly to her chest as tightly as she can without making the poor lamps cooped up inside uncomfortable. She gets to her room.::

::Ands trips down the stairs - not literally - and goes to the front door.::

::Lookit Andrea run! To the upstairs hallway!::

:: Azura can totally take the stairs two at a time to the upstairs hallway.::

[A loud creaking and groaning pierces the air as the manor starts to crumple, everything becoming too much for it. Plaster, brick and wood loosens then falls, tumbling down as all is lost and the manor is reduced to its bare foundations.]

As a respectful gesture following the incredible gift the Charmed Ones gave to save the world, The Elders have restored the manor to its former glory.

[Ornaments fall, lights swing and glasses rattle as something like an earthquake shakes the manor.]

"Okay, sweetie, sit down."

::Paige gently instructs Azura, stopping their short walk at the foot of the stairs.::

"Let me get your shoes off."

::Azura does just that. So obedient... that fight so broke her!::

::Paige gets down onto her knees in front of Azura and lifts each foot into her lap while she takes her wife's shoes off. Once that's done, she places the shoes up against the wall and rubs Azura's calves lovingly. She looks up into her face.::

"I'm sorry."

::She doesn't want to go any further than that into what happened at all, so she immediately keeps talking.::

"Can I get you anything? Water? Something to eat? Want me to make you some toast? Or are you tired?"

::Azura closes her eyes and breathes in slowly before letting the breath out. Okay. Paige is sorry. Okay. That's good. She should be apologising too though.::

"Tired."

::Of everything!.::

"All right. Let's go to bed."

::Paige gives Azura's ankles a final squeeze and gets up, pulling Azura to her feet. Taking a firm grip of her hand, she leads her upstairs to the bathroom.::

::Azura runs her hand along the wall of the house as she makes the familiar climb up the stairs to the attic.::

::So a Texan, a frowning slut and a moled one ascend some stairs with great caution and continue to the upstairs hallway.::

[The manor is quiet. Everything seems normal as we return to its walls two years after the events of The Black Day.]
