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.

Yeah. If that's what she's made of, maybe we should look at the water first before we meet her again...

Janta seems hesitant.

"I can tell you where things are. The library as at the top of the stairs. The water source is down the hall on the first story, by the trauma center. I hear that... the water leads to Zwei, too. It can't be safe... though nothing here really is safe. I can admit that...!"

Zwei and Hail bleed into each other a lot all over, huh?

Or is Hail just more dangerous when she's not happy...

It doesn't react to your comment, Mithos, but Lloyd's comment gets a bouncy nod.

"Yes. Everything is dangerous when Hail is unhappy. Zwei is always Zwei. Especially with the control she exhibits over this heart. That said, this is the safest place to be, in regards to Zwei!"

"Hopes and dreams," yeah?

*looking around -- is the rest of the landscape untouched, apart from the tree being gone?*

[watching while Mithos does that]

Everything else is untouched and blooming vibrantly. The lake seems a little murky, but aren't most lakes? The gazebo even has a few (decidedly) harmless candles around it.

Janta nods.

. . . where were you, before you were in that hallway?

[keeps a suspicious eye on that lake...

starts filling in the tree's hole again, while he's at it]

Your endeavor to fill that hole is working out greatly.

Janta responds with no hesitation.

"I was upstairs, in the room with the other things that keep Hail safe and happy! Or... kind of safe! Feeling safe!"

How'd you get from there to Zwei's hall?

*hhhelping, as best as he can; keeping Janta in the crook of his arm as they talk*

[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?
