You decide that you'd like to pay a visit to Maius. Her path winds off directly in front of you. You can't see quite where it goes, but you follow it, knowing that little can harm you in the Sky Realm. Except, perhaps, falling, and you doubt that that will happen.
After a while, you come to a final turn. You walk around it, and are met with...pink. Everything, everything, everything is pink. The walls of the spherical room are pink, the draperies on the wide windows are pink, the rug on the floor is pink, the tables and chairs are pink, and the hippogriff relaxing in the middle of the room is...pink.
The hippogriff glances up, and her face becomes a picture of delight. "OH!" she says, getting up and preening a feather breifly before trotting over and holding out a claw. "Sorry it's such a mess, but I wasn't expecting company!"
You look with more than a little confusion around the perfectly cleaned, straightened room, and return your gaze to the perfectly cleaned, groomed hippogriff. "It looks fine," you reply, shaking her claw.
The hippogriff chuckles. "Oh, you're such a dear," she giggles, sitting down again. "Well, I'm sure you came here to meet me. Eh? Well, even if you didn't, you're stuck meeting me now! Hehe, I am Maius, Fashion Diva Extrordinaire. Good to meet you!"
"Er..." you say, not sure how to reply to the exhuberant hippogriff.
"Yes, yes," she says dismissively, before continuing. "Now, listen, what do you think of those draperies? See, the ones over there are rose, and the ones over there are mauve. Which do you think goes best with the carpet?"
You can see no difference between the two. "Er...rose?" you say questioningly.
Maius lets out a shrill laugh. "Listen to you!" she giggles. "Yes, that's exactly what I thought! You have a Future, you know," she adds seriously.
"Er...."
Chortling, Maius trots over to one of her many tables, and opens a drawer. You catch a glimpse of countless magazines before she removes something with one claw and closes the drawer again. "Here," she says, returning to you. She slams a heavy color book down in your arms. You catch another glimpse of the cover, featuring something resembling a fox with ridiculously dyed fur, before Maius opens it to a post-it-marked page. "Which color?"
"Er...what for?" you ask, gazing down at all the shades of pink in the entire world.
"I'm dying my tail!" she says, as though that were the most obvious thing in the entire world.
"Umm..." you say, looking at what seems to be a page of all the same color. "That one," you finally decide, pointing resolutely at one near the bottom of the page.
Maius cocks her head. "I never thought about Cerise/Rose before," she says thoughtfully. "That's actually a really good idea! Thanks! Listen, I'm going to go get that done, and you can get back to your explorations, or whatever you were doing when you pranced over. See ya!" Maius calls, gliding out an open window.
"Er..." you say to yourself, blinking. Still feeling slightly clueless and confused, you put the massive book down, turn, and get out of there.
