But it—

[it's trying to attack them! flayn, foolishly, glances back at alphinaud when he says her name -

and the snake slams its body into her, sending her crumpling to the ground. ouch! alphinaud, get over here so you can get your minor injury!! "britt stop trying to make people suffer" no]

[sageguidance]

[ but britt is valid.

As she falls to the floor, it goes to strike again! And Alphinaud, who isn't even keeping shaving razors on him, decides he'll go for the next best stupid action: forcibly slamming himself into it before it reaches her again. ]

Away from her!

[ But all it does is throw him back, too. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[the snake hisses, which is accompanied by the pained scream of whichever poor sap alphinaud recognizes in the thing's mouth, and it thrashes about, as if gearing up to attack them both again once alphinaud is thrown back and subjected to his own minor injury -

only to suddenly vanish behind the door, which shuts with a slam.]

What in the world was that thing...?

[sageguidance]

... Seven hells—

[ what the fuck! what the fuck!! ]

You... you were right to be cautious. Ugh.

[fishingforcompliments]

I had hoped to be wrong.

[she scowls, putting a hand over her side. ouch, that smarts.]

Did it hurt you?

[sageguidance]

[ A hand of his own goes to his arm, as he slumps against the wall. ]

Barely—'tis not of any concern. And what of you?

[fishingforcompliments]

I am alright. I have suffered worse injuries - this is relatively minor. It may bruise a little, though.

[sageguidance]

If that is the worst of it, then we are quite fortunate... For a moment, I truly believed that thing had meant to do worse.

[fishingforcompliments]

It did seem as though it intended to... we are lucky that the door shut when it did, I should think.

[sageguidance]

Mayhap these doors are best left alone.

[fishingforcompliments]

I think perhaps you may be right, but... knowing that makes me no less curious what is behind the other ones.

[what if there was something useful behind one of them???]

[sageguidance]

—You want to see more?!

[fishingforcompliments]

There is a saying: high risk, high reward. If the dangers we face are substantial, the potential payoff ought to be as well, no?

[sageguidance]

I... I suppose. At the very least, I could not leave you to open another by your lonesome.

[fishingforcompliments]

...are you sure?

[she heard that pause between "I" and "I suppose"]
