"It's Nana, is that right?" he asks, as he opens the door. The room isn't as opaquely dense or as massive as the Orlop, but it's certainly cluttered with tons of mismatched looking machinery: 80s-style arcades next to banks of blinking lights and switches, crystal arrays, brass cogs, all of them contrasting oddly with the herringbone flagstones of the floor. There's an air hockey table made of bronze and marble. The steam boiler is glowing and puffing softly, and something mechanical shaped like a cat - all made of beautifully ornate, silvery steampunk-like gears - sits on top of it. She sits up and turns to look at Nana immediately.
"It's alright, Gliss," Jedao tells her, giving her a couple of fingernail taps under the metal of her chin, halfway between scritching a living cat and tapping a champagne glass with a fork. "She's just looking."
The cat - Gliss - makes a sound like if wind chimes could chirr, then hops down and walks freely toward the doorway to inspect her.
