Elsa led Rebecca through her large Coronet City villa, upstairs and stopped at one of the doors at the end of a long corridor. She opened it and led her granddaughter inside to a fairly large room.
"Here you are, honey--we fixed this up just for you. I hope it's to your liking."
Rebecca set her bag on a nearby table and looked around. There was a full size bed with far too many decorative pillows piled at the headboard surrounded by night stands on each side, a large antique vase on an end table in the corner next to a chair, two large windows along the back wall decorated with sheer white curtains tied back revealing a view of the grounds out back. The other side of the room had a dresser and mirror placed across from her bed, a small desk on the back wall, two doors at the corner of the room-- the closet, and one to a private fresher. Overall, she felt the room was a bit much for her personal taste, but she turned towards her grandmother. "It's fine, Grandma." She said quietly.
Elsa smiled. "Good. It'll suit you just fine then. Now, would you like any help unpacking?" Rebecca shook her head. "Alright then....I'll let you alone so you can get settled in-- my men will bring up the rest of your luggage." She left the room and closed the door behind her.
Rebecca opened her bag and began pulling out a few of her personal belongings, placing them around the room. One of which, the stuffed ewok she had since childhood, she picked up and went over to the bed and set it down in front of the massive frilly pillow-pile. She then hit the final item in her bag, a small framed holo projector. Returning to her bed, she sat down and pressed the small power button on the side of the frame. A projection of herself and her parents appeared with the imperial palace towering in the background. She placed the frame on her nightstand, lied down and just stared at the image, mesmerized by the love and serenity that it represented, wishing she could have those feelings again.
