With Lila having steadied the floorboards and made the house less likely to murder any of them, they decided it was a good time to explore their new residence.
Lila led the way with Ivy trailing beside her. The walls were still peeling in places, their original color all but forgotten, and patches of dark mold clung stubbornly to the corners.
Whenever Lila passed her hand over a mold-infested spot, the fungus receded into itself and vanished, but she left the peeling paint alone. The act was intentional on her part, to keep people from growing suspicious of any dramatic transformations to the shack.
The girls figured that none of the elite had likely ventured inside the house; they probably feared it would collapse on them. Hence, they made the changes on the inside, keeping it minimal and realistic, so even if by chance, they did come snooping, the changes wouldn't raise too many eyebrows. They would probably assume they just do some minor "labor work" and tidying.
