A cold, delicate hand grabs yours and pulls. It pulls, and it pulls... there's a sense of urgency in this icy grasp, as well as a trace of reluctance. Abruptly the hand let's go, right as your vision fades to black, and for a brief moment, only a brief moment, your senses disappear. There's only the eerie sensation of weightlessness before your feet are settled back on solid ground again.

[kneeling down and patting the soil to smooth it down when the dirt's all back in :|a hmm...]

"Zwei's hall?"

The bear tilts its head in confusion.

"The hall you arrived in? That wasn't Zwei's."

*...*

Then what was it?

[huffs softly, glancing over for a moment; distracted from the gardening]

...he said that Hail's heart is more dangerous right now.

"Oh, yes. That was Hail's heart. The building is Hail's heart. Zwei's is underneath of it! The outside is also Hail's heart, though."

...okay. That makes sense.

*looks to Lloyd*

We should probably go where we have a lower chance of running into Zwei, first...

Library first, then?

[...scatters some seeds in the patch of earth he turned over and fluffs some dirt over them before he stands :X]

The bear watches, but says nothing!

Yeah...let's go.

[pats Janta and starts back for the house!]

Just wondering... does the water you were talking about flow into that lake, too?

The door is still hanging open.

Janta nods.

"Now that you mention... it might! I never really looked into it."

...maybe that's why it's murky, huh...

*heading inside?*

[winces, leaving the door open; yeah I guess we're heading in.]

Yeeeeeah. Maybe we can do something about that while we're down there. Library first, though— which way?

"The library is at the very top of the stairs! ♪"

Gotcha.

*moving through the hall, doing lookarounds for anything of note...jeez this place needs brightening*

[yes :[ MAYBE WE CAN COME BACK WITH LAMPS. heading for the stairs, also looking around!]

Aside from the damaged walls and floors, there's nothing truly of note... save for a decrepit fireplace.

Zwei's voice chimes in.

"Oh? Hello there, how were the outdoors? ♥"

We'll tell you if you tell us how the indoors are.

*pausing at the fireplace to examine it...*

Can you go out there and see?

[yes, what's in there]

"Hmmm~? I can't see what's out there, but I heard it's gotten interesting. As for the indoors... I think it's in great condition! Top notch, if you will!! ♪"

The fireplace is dusty and ashy. There's no lumber in sight. Despite its condition, the chimney seems to be okay. Nothing's blocking it and nothing's cracked.

*...peers up the chimney...*

A fire wouldn't be bad.

[glances towards the stairs again...]

Zwei snaps.

"Hey! Don't ignore me!! I think this place is great the way it is!!"

But anyway, that fireplace's chimney looks a little clogged with soot and dust and ash. All that good stuff.

The stairs are grandiose. A little old and creaky looking, but where they lead too is hard to say. It looks dark up there, too.

Why do you?

*reaches up to knock some of that dirt out.*

[keeps quiet for now, and wordlessly offers to take Janta if Mithos wants to linger at the fireplace longer]
