The village isn't very large, though it's big enough that a small brook runs through it. Another path leads just out of sight. Even with the Genomes about, there couldn't be more than a hundred people here. And from the layout of the town, this is roughly four times as many people as it once held.
There's an odd division in building design in the town. The Genomes' houses sit in neat rows, small dormitory buildings in kiln-fired brick. They're almost all identical, though here and there a few individual attempts at decoration are starting to show.
The older part of town is less ordered, almost cute in a quaint way. Some buildings seem to be brick, but it looks a little squished... as if the bricks were stacked up and then baked instead of the other way around. There are a few other oddities in design, as if the town was designed and built on trial and error... mostly error. This section of the village looks like it might have held as many as twenty-five people or so at one time, and yet it doesn't look like there are that many adult Mages around.
There are, indeed, gardens. Neat ordered rows from the Genomes, patches and plots in odd decorative patterns from the Mages. Most hold vegetables, but the Mages also seem to have planted flowers and a few other things that just looked interesting to them. They like the colors.
Mikoto just nods slightly, tail wrapped tightly around a leg as if she thinks it will betray her. "Yes. They are now ruined for their intended purpose. They are Gaian, not Terran..."
Regulus, meanwhile, has most of his attention on the little Mages, and is talking to them and trying to remember all their names. "Now... which one are you again? Teo or Tavi?"
