Lucius gave a shy nod to Octavio, blushing a little for having called him something he did not want to be called.
He readied himself to follow the two of them where ever they may be headed to.

Amelia opened the door, taking care to go slowly so she wouldn't make the hinges on the door squeak. "It's near the staircase," Amelia whispered. "Come on. Be careful, some of the floorboards creak..." she headed slowly towards the first step, her large sweater brushing against the tops of her thighs. She looked back to Octavio and the blonde man, then back ahead.

Octavio carefully moved after Amelia, careful not to make any unnecessary noise. He motioned to Lucius to follow, and to close the door quietly.

After several minutes of trying to soothe the beast's night terror (and a few lallubies), Isadora was finally able to calm Castello down. She was amazed that the raven laguz still hadn't work up from her singing nor the cold towel pressing on his forehead. However, it seemed that he didn't notice it.
Once she was complete sure that Castello was sleeping, Isadora got up and tiptoed to her belongings. Carefully trying not to make a noise from her armor, she carefully opened the door and exited the room by closing the door softly and quietly.
Thank you, St. Elimine. She thought relieved as she pressed her back against the wall. She had to admit it was not easy getting her stuff. However, she was glad to get out of the predicament. Somehow, she wished that Master Legault had taught her some of his......... talented skills.
Now that she was out, Isadora began to walk while she was trying to wear her armor. As she walked, she heard a door opened. Not wanting the Heroes to see her sword, she hid her sword behind her shield, waiting to see whether it was the one of the captives or the Heroes. Please, let it be one of my comrades...... Isadora prayed.

Lucius gulped nervously. He had never been that fantastic at sneaking, but he would try, for the sake of helping others.
He carefully followed Octavio.

Amelia froze when she heard a doorway creak open, and not even Isadora's door. Who was that? "Hide!" she hissed, moving to duck behind a potted plant in the hallway. She peered out, watching a woman exit a room. Blue hair... was it that General woman? She paused. No, it was too dark... and too long...
"Isadora!" Amelia whispered. She leaped to her feet and hurried over. Her stocking feet muffled the footsteps. "Are you okay? These two, Octavio and his friend... they can help us out!" she whispered, barely audible. "Where are Rhys and Mel? We have to hurry...!"

"Miss Isadora!" Lucius smiles at her, though said his words quietly enough so as not to draw attention.

Isadora nearly dropped her shield and sword when she saw Amelia came out. "Amelia! Oh, you've startled me."
Then she noticed two new figures from behind her. One was a white-haired young man. Who could he be? Then other........
"Lucius?" Isadora shockingly awed as she looked at him. "What are you doing here? H-How did you get here?"
She then heard Amelia asking her a question. "Oh, I'm still startled, but I'm fine. I don't know where Rhys and the last I've seen Melethia, she was in the kitchen. So who knows where could she be."
When she heard the word help, the emblem of hope lit up inside her. "Help? That's wonderful! We have to get out of here quickly. Who knows how long are we going to be captives to Mika. We have to find Melethia and Rhys."

"I'm not completely sure how I got here actually.. I followed Rei through a door and ended up here," he quietly explained, but stayed behind Octavio to avoid stepping on any creaking floorboards.

Amelia nodded and considered this. If Melethia was still in the kitchen, the other warriors would be there, so she couldn't go there... "Let's start with the library, if Rhys is there. We need to hurry." Amelia looked back to Octavio and the blonde one, apparently Lucius, and back to Isadora. "You're okay, right?" She waited for the woman to begin down the steps before following her.

Break me, shake me, hate me...
But when the madness stops, you'll be alone.→τειғι← ◣ ♪ I can't feel nothing at all... ♪ ◥ You've confused me in a way that
I've never known... Thin walls were both a blessing and a curse.
With her bed so close to the wall, she could hear just about everything- she had felt her muscles tense with apprehension when she heard the footsteps of men enter Amelia's room, and had been ready to fight them if anything was to threaten the girl's safety. Men were savage beasts at the best of times, and barely civil at the best of times. Carefully sneaking forward with as light a footfall as she could manage (which meant moving very slowly), Teifi moved towards the door yet stayed out of sight, making sure the light did not hit an are she stood in as she awaited their movements.
She listened for the shuffling of feet, the movement of the door hinges, and almost moved out too soon when Isadora began asking questions. Amelia's hushed whispers made her heart clench, and she could not help but feel her eyebrows furrow slightly. But that didn't matter. Not now.
All she could do was follow them, and see if they were really intending to go through with this... 'plan'.۞ You just keep me contemplating that your sσuℓ is _slowly_fading... ۞

"I'm fine, Amelia." Isadora repeated herself. She was not going to explain to them what had just happened in the room. After all, she too didn't know what was going on in there. But whatever it was, it didn't matter right now. All what was matter was to get her comrades out of the manor.
"We should check the bedroom too. We're not sure if Melethia went to her room or not. However, I'm not very familiar with this place much as you are."

A small, delicate flower, fluttering in the breeze...... A petal, claimed by a gentle wind, floats away... ☼ JYOTI ☼
¤▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬¤Jyoti really could be a bit scatter-brained at times. After she healed Melethia, Jyoti plopped right back on the floor and finished her soup, savoring each spoonful. As she put her bowl down next to her, she thought for a moment about heading to a vacant room and heading to sleep. She was tired, yes, but it was still early. Besides, she hadn't seen a certain someone since she arrived. A hand raised to twirl a strand of blonde hair. I wonder--
Jyoti was jarred out of her thoughts with a slight kick to her legs. Instinctively, she pulled them closer to herself until her heels were close to her hips. "O-oh! I'm sorry!" The valkyrie apologized quickly, stammering slightly. She thought that she was out of the way, back to her original spot against the wall, but apparently she set herself almost directly in the pathway. Oops. She turned to look at the person who nearly fell over because of her. "I'm--"
Her eyes widened slightly and her face brightened with a huge grin, scooting closer to and wrapping her arms around Misura. "I'm sorry... I, uh, was sitting over there before." She nodded in the direction of her original sitting place. "But then I had to heal someone and I didn't realize that I just sat down almost immediately..." She blushed slightly with embarrassment. "It's alright, though... I didn't feel like taking a chair. Besides, the floor is fairly comfortable!" The valkyrie said cheerfully, the grin not faltering.¤▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬¤... Detached from its home, destined to wither and die alone in an unknown land.

" Maybe that's the reason why" "You can't ever fly..." Cαsτειιo
"Take away the blue..."
______________ Castello was sleeping soundly by the time Isadora finished her song, and he didn't stir again as long as she was in the room. Once she was gone, though, water started dripping down over his eyes and pooling in his tear ducts and damn if that wasn't a weird feeling.
He blinked his eyes, then raised his wrist to wipe at his face. "Mmmuhh...? Abigail?" he murmured, momentarily confused, and then he sat up and felt the wet rag fall into his naked lap. "A-agh," he muttered, picking it up and wiping his forehead with his forearm. "Damn, the hell..." He was always a bit grouchy if he woke up before he wanted to, but... he felt okay. He stretched as he climbed out of the bed, then stumbled into the bathroom and, for the very first time, encountered a shower. Curious about the little alcove with the thing sticking out and the little knob in the wall, he'd fiddled with each before his nude body was struck by a stream of hot water.
It was glorious.

Amelia nodded. It was a quick trip down to the landing; they were that much closer to the library. She could hear speech in the near distance, and Amelia lifted a finger to her lips. "Library first... maybe we'll get lucky and they'll both be there," she whispered before turning down an otherwise-silent hallway. She moved swiftly, pushing open the door in minutes. "Rhys...?" she whispered finally, taking one step in. Was he here? "Rhys, are you here?"
