Platter lightly squeezes Arthurâs hand. Looking down at him as his hair droops but still curls into what appears to be his own soft smile. âIâm happy that the feeling is mutual, itâs been too long, and I look forward to our talks.â
Stepping into the kitchen, Arthur can see that the dining hall and the kitchen has been combined into one giant room, and the chandelier seemed to have gotten bigger and more extravagant, while the kitchen itself only grew.
Two stools are pulled out from one of the kitchen islands. Platter usherâs Arthur to sit down come up before taking a seat himself. âbeing with you is the best cure for the loneliness, my dear Arthur. Having you in my thoughts, does wonders. But yes, Iâd like to tackle this issue with you about my side here⌠and there are some things I have wanted to tell you!â Platter reaches out and lightly squeezes Arthurâs knee, âIâve regained some of my memories. From journaling. Isnât it isnât that wonderful?â
âOh wowâŚ.â Arthur continues following Platter, but itâs clear his attentions are on the walls, the expansive and elegant sprawl the rooms have changed to be. The architecture was gorgeous, intricate, with colors fitting the pallete of the room interwoven in a delicate display. The drown molding looked like gold against deep, dark mahogany, and it matched the gold leafing on the chairs in the dining room. It was chintzy, and while he wasnât the kind to want that stuff, it was perfectly Lewis to want something glamorous, to go with excess, and still make it look nice.Â
The kitchen itself is still simple by comparison, but it doesnât surprise him, when itâs the room for practical use. The kitchen being fancy isnât really necessary; in fact, with how artful Lewis tried to be with his food, that should be the main attraction of entering the kitchen. If it was done up as well as the rest of the expansive and sprawling rooms of the house, it might make the food he created feel less special, or hell, the design and fancy decor might get in the way of what the kitchen was meant for.
He takes the offered seat, and listens. It only makes him smile. âThatâs amazing! Iâm glad you found something to help.â Arthurâs hand covers Platterâs own on his knee, and he smiles up at his plate. âIâm so proud of you, big guy.â
