explore the outside

I wandered about for a moment, looking out at the beautiful scenery as I made my way around the large mansion. The grounds covered with trees and gardens, all of which was so well tended that it was a mystery as to who might be taking care of it. Surely his great uncle could not have done such things, being in a state of his old age.

I made my way to the back of the building, a large fountain catching my sight near the center of another large garden. three statues of the fountain caught my interest most. Three women, all standing against one another to face another direction, each one dressed lightly in necklaces, rings and bracelets, nothing else besides. I could feel my face flush at the sight, and was surprised by the sound of footsteps on the path behind me.

A woman approached me and gave me a deep regarding look. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" she asked. The girl was slender and pale, her dark raven hair tied in a braid down to the middle of her back, her outfit leaving little to the imagination.
