Chapter 101: Shopping Furniture (ii)
Viola led them to a corner zone with soft lilac lighting. Lilia fell for a Softwisp Hover‑Bed—transparent frame, mag‑lev mattress drifting inside like a lazy cloud. Tag: 84,000. Next, a circular Synth‑Silk Vanity Pod with adjustable holo‑mirror: 21,500. She added a pair of Glow‑Pulse Wall Sconces shaped like orchids: 3,000. Total: 108,500.
Lilia looked at Xavier—half‑guilty, half‑excited.
Xavier nodded. "If you like it, put it on the slate."
Lyra veered off toward timber scents. She chose a low Blackwood Platform Bed—heavy, dark grains, iron bracing: 32,000. Mounted above it, she wanted a wall rack for her training weapons—a Clamp‑Lock Armory Panel: 7,800. She added a rugged Stoneforge Nightstand carved from basalt: 5,600. Total: 45,400.
She glanced at Xavier, her tail flicking nervously.
Xavier gave a small grin in response.

A single showpiece dominated the room: a dark‑crimson platform bed that looked half spaceship, half sin.
