This is a more detailed description of the scene above and I'm redeeming it for the "Describe your nest/bed/room." Prompt!

Neveya wandered up the path to her home, she brushed some dirt off of its rocky exterior, she smiled as she appreciated its natural simplicity. ~I guess thats why I love it here.~ She laughed to herself. She poked her head through the curtains she used to cover her doorway. Just like all the things she loved, they had that same dark swirling pattern... She smiled to herself something about it brought her comfort. So did being home, home she could be whoever she wanted to be, no noeed to worry about how the other storkies might view her. Her home was ~safe.~ Despite being mostly a cave on the outside, over the years she had finished out the interior to look like a simple home with wood walls and floor. A mixture of warm woods decorated her floor and she had covered her walls with a deeper toned mud-cement. It was decorated simply, she had some hooks in the walls for her cloak and the very special scarf that Elara had gifted her. Some softer cusions were tucked into the corners of the room, and that was where she liked to sleep there was a small container a small way into the entrance where she liked to store her food too. She lightly laughed to herself about how long it had taken for her to dig the final extension onto the back of the burrow for her bathroom. She had a magic litter box just like in her childhood home, but this one seemed to break a lot more often, so she'd have to clean it manually.
Neveya heard a voice at her door, breaking her out of her house daydream.
“Hello?” She could tell that it wasn't Elara but she never got visitors… She frowned as she tried to figure out who it might be, the voice sounded kind enough… Maybe she could hope for the best and answer it… She wandered over to the entrance of her burrow, poking her head around the corner, she smiled as soon as she saw who it was! “Kieran! I wasn’t expecting you to actually come visit, welcome!” It had been just over a month since she’d met them, and she’d assumed they wouldn’t come.

“Hi, sorry it took me so long, I’ve just been really busy with things at the library but I really did want to come visit! How has your magic been going?”
"Its been interesting... I've loved the history section in this book! But its not coming to me as easily as I thought it would ..."
Kieran gave a thoughtful sigh, "I'm sure you'll get there Nev, one foot in front of the other is sometimes all you need! Keep going I'm sure you've got this!"
"I guess... Its just hard to keep believing that, when it feels like I'm getting nowhere, but I'll keep trying. Hey why dont you come in, would you like any Lactose-free milk? Or uh... water?? Sorry, I dont normally have guests," she laughed.
"That's no worries, its quite a nice place you have here! I love how quiet it is!"
Kieran thought about their own home, a quiet room tucked away in what would otherwise be the attic of the library. They had put their bed in that room, otherwise they used the staff kitchen and litterboxes. They loved how quiet the library was, as much as they pretended to be brave, and to fight through the fear they held in their heart, its was nice to have somewhere truly safe to come home to, most of the library goers didn’t even realise there was an attic! They had a comfy orange cushion for a bed, and a small pile of books that they were working their way through reading. After they last saw Neveya,they sought out a fire magic book, which the library had plenty. They had been reading for a while, but were still too scared to try anything quite yet...
"How has your magic practice been going?" Neveya's words snapped them out of thought.
"I've been reading a lot, but I still don't quite feel so ready about practising yet, I've just been so busy and all..." they shied away from the thought that maybe they were just scared, and they were definitely saying that last bit more to reassure themself than Neveya... "Besides I don't want to make a scene by accidentally setting the whole library alight!" they joked to themself, and gently knocked on Neveya's wood floor.
Neveya laughed too "Knock on wood, hey..."
