At the bottom of the stairs, Mavik hesitated. Whatever he had expected, the sight that met him was not it. The circles he moved in were full of strange and frequently unpleasant things, but there was usually some amount of logic invested in them. He would just have to find the logic here. In the space of a heartbeat, drawing his cloak closer about his shoulders, he retraced the steps that had brought him here. A mistake with the password, the man Teones therefore not nearly as welcoming as Mavik had counted on, and his apparent disinterest - the only thing not surprising - in Mavik's "news."

And the man had called Eleka his lover. It was laughable. Either the brute thought him incestuous - he wouldn't be the first - or he had not done his research nearly as well as he should have.

The heartbeat passed. He stepped fully into the room, eyes still unflinchingly on the woman, seeking some sign of life. He had not bothered to answer Teones' taunting, but turned his mind to whatever task they expected of him in this basement. Was she their last prisoner? Did he have to talk his way out of this room past Teones and his meaty friend?

Or was she the one he had to convince to release him?

"It's awfully cold down here," Mavik said, without apparent feeling. His skin felt robbed of blood, blanched and cold. "She should at least have a blanket, for pity's sake."
