Jace nodded innocently and trailed after Rupert, to his car. It was big, black and shiny (?); to smol Jace, rather indimidating.

//sure lol
Rupert’s chauffeur got out of the driver’s side and walked around to where they were standing. Rupert told Jace, “This is Willems. He will drive you wherever you need to go.” Willems nodded, smiled timidly, and opened the door for Rupert and Jace to get into the backseat.
//is that ok
(Yis!)
Jace smiled nervously back and wiggled into the back seat, his short legs wiggling tirelessly.
He soon got onto the seat and buckled in slowly, then tensed in the seat a little.
“You okay?” Rupert asked, concerned. “I have, ah… candy?” He offered a chocolate bar to Jace that he’d found in his briefcase.
Jace blinked at the candy as if he’d never seen something like it before and took it.
“What is it, sir?” He asked quietly, with a squeak, as he unwrapped it. He jumped as the smell hit his nostrils.
“It smells good!”
“Chocolate,” Rupert chuckled. “It tastes as good as it smells. You can, um, try it, if you want.”
Jace sniffed it tenderly and took a tenitive nibble. A few moments more, it was gone, and the remains were on his lips.
Rupert laughed. “Did you like it?” he asked, taking another one out of his briefcase. “I keep a stash.”
Jace giggled faintly as he took the second. “It’s really good!” He squeaked in his defence as he demolished the second bar of chocolatey goodness.
“I’m glad you enjoy it,” Rupert smiled. “I’m afraid I don’t have any more in my briefcase, but there are plenty more at the house. And it’s about lunchtime, too. Ahh, here we are.”
The car pulled up to a mansion, the driveway alone the size of a house in the poorer parts of the city. (?) Willems opened the door for them, and Rupert got out of the car.
(Yee)
Jace nodded and licked his fingers, only to jump when Williems opened the door. Jace unbuckled his seatbelt and scrambled out of the car, gazing, transfixed, up at the mansion.
“There are, ah, several rooms you can choose from,” Rupert said, leading Jace up to the front door. “And then we’ll, um, we can get stuff to decorate it with. However you want.”
Jace nodded unsurely and followed Rupert to the front door, squeezing his bear. He started to regret flinching away from Rupert’s hand earlier; he really wanted a hand to hold.
Rupert stepped up to the door, and it opened. He nodded at the butler, and said to Jace, “This is the butler, Jones. He can help you figure out your way around the house.” To Jones, he said, “Jones, this is Jace.”
Jace blinked his wide eyes at Jones.
(I love RPing butlerrrs so i claim him)
Jones nodded gruffly to the smol and bowed to the pair. “I see you decided to adopt a child, after all, sir.” He gazed up at Rupert. “Not a bad choice, as I can see.”
Jace turned a faint red at the compliment.
//okey dokey lol
“Your eyesight hasn’t failed yet, Jones,” Rupert said with a faint smile. “If you wouldn’t mind showing Jace the options for his room, I have a quick call I need to hop onto. I’ll be back in time for lunch.” He waved at Jace and began ascending the stairs.
Jace curled his hands together over the bear, staring nervously at the butler, who straightened up with a warm smile on his face.
“Follow me.” He led the smol up another flight of steps, to his choice of rooms (I’ll let you describe, if that’s okay).
//sure
The hallway of possible bedrooms had three doors: two on one side, one on the other. It was papered with maroon wallpaper, but when you opened the door to a bedroom, the room was either papered with blue stars on a background of white, light yellow stars on a background of light blue, or, in the door on its own, plain light grey. The plain light grey room was actually Rupert’s… I forgot to mention that….
Both of the possible rooms had tall, four-post beds and huge windows, letting in loads of natural light. Both also had a wardrobe, a desk, and a nightstand.
(Neat)
Jones smiled warmly as Jace poked his head into the plain gray room. “Is this one taken?”
“Unfortunately that’s Rupert’s room. I think the room with the white backdrop would suit you quite well, however.”
Jace looked into the room the butler mentioned. “O-okay.”
Jones bowed. “If you need anything, call.”
Jace nodded and scootched into the room. Yes, he was curious about the rest of the mansion (as it was opt for a smol to explore) but a bigger, more demanding part of him made him go into his new room, to squelch his need for exploring.
Rupert’s call was very boring, and he couldn’t help but sigh in relief when it was over. He decided to go to the Hall of Bedrooms, as his wife had dubbed it, and see which room Jace had chosen.
Jace had plopped down on the ground once he investigated the closet, holding his bear close.
A gentle voice hummed in Jace’s right ear; He’s back! Jace thought with a swooping sensation in his tummy. He looked over his shoulder to see a shadowy figure, whose only distinguishable features were his long hair, eyes and wide, white smile.
Jace reached out for the figure who sighed and gently embraced the smol. How are you doing today, dear? It asked in a hazy, soft male voice.
//w o a h

Rupert walked into the Hall of Bedrooms. “Jace? Are you here?”
(Did i describe it okay?)
Jace hopped up, and the figure dissolved.
“Yeah, I’m in here!” Jace reached down for his bear, which tumbled onto the ground from his sudden movement.
//yeah perfect
Rupert walked in. “You chose the blue star room, hey?” He said with a smile. “Good choice.”
(Thanks!)
Jace nodded and glanced around. “It’s nice. The bed’s bouncy amd squishy.”
//:D
“I’m glad you like it,” Rupert smiled. “Do you want anything else in here? Redecorate or anything?”
Jace shook his head. “No, this is nice. Thank you, sir.”
Rupert nodded. “No worries,” he said softly. “If you ever need anything, let me know.”
Jace nodded. “Okay, sir. I will do that.” He smiled nervously up at Rupert.
Rupert smiled at Jace and then said in a normal tone, “Well, Jace, I am hungry. Would you like to join me for lunch?”
