Sherwood's Suite is located on the Ace & Jack level floor. He has no door, having removed it entirely. His room is always open to visitors, regardless of his being around or not. The space is mostly a large, single space with all his amenities. The only separated out room is his private bathroom, which he keeps locked.
Of note, he has a wood burning hearth with various, rudimentary cooking supplies. There are multiple, large desks with various scrolls, journals, and books strewn about. Bookshelves and storage cabinets line many of the walls. Painted artwork, tapestries, and drawings are also haphazardly about the space. He has a low, wide, and plush bed cot tucked in a far back corner. It had a curtain which can be pulled around to give some privacy, but he won't be found sleeping in it.

Oh, have you now? Am I right to assume that-- [He gestures, vaguely, to Sherwood's branch antlers] -- Those also have something to do with it?
no subject
[Sherwood does sure love to share his accomplishments, even if it sounds entirely insane. Letting a plant grow directly into his skull is one thing, all the other magic it granted him is another,]
I've spent twice your lifetime developing various disciplines of this new magic.
no subject
You've certainly lived an interesting life.
[He says so carefully, hiding his own feelings. At least for a moment. Because as soon as Sherwood pulls out the age card, lording over Akechi, he narrows his eyes. Something hot and angry burns in him. It's not so hard to imagine Sherwood as one of the miserable older men fawning for Shido's attention, trying to impress Akechi by demeaning him. It makes his stomach turn.]
And yet you're here, just like the rest of us. Your magic couldn't save you.

He then pours some of each cup back and forth between them in a little ritual. One he doesn't explain, thinking it just speaks for itself. He pushes one forward the Akechi delicately, it steaming with a warm scent of bergamot citrus oil.]
Now that is an interested assessment, lad. You see this place as damning us, rather than acting as salvation?
no subject
That's a wonderful scent. What kind of tea is this?
[Of course, his rage is only tempered for a moment -- and only by a thin mask covering it. He sets the tea down.]
This place is a cage, as gilded as it is. Surely you're not satisfied to just let the resort rip you from your life and tell you what to do, are you? On principle, if nothing else?
no subject
I believe it is called Earl Grey, I found it similar to a Springtide mixture from home, [not fully the same, but similar enough to be a comfort choice,]
Contrary, I believe this is an intriguing new adventure to find myself on. I don't worry so much about the principle of it. Then again, I worked very hard to set up my people back home with a secure future. I do not worry much for their survival without my guidance. They have been taught to swim. If they sink, it is not from any lack of guidance, only their own willpower.
