The topic of conversation became suddenly much more somber. "I'm sorry yo hear that." Gwen said lamely, it wasn't something she knew how to reply to.

Alena faded in and out of delirium.

"No, it's fine. We aren't exactly close," William replied, smiling softly. "And you?" He asked.

Katrina left Alena to sleep and went to finish her evening chores.
(Where are Peter and Linnet?)

(Good to hear :) Hopefully the damage is minimal.. I haven't heard much about it.)
Alfric looked Fawn up and down, she was indeed wearing a great many layers. "I'll see if there's anything in here to help." He said, dropping the candles on the floor beside her. "Here, take these, we'll use them for light - they'll last longer." He held the torch out for her to light her candle.
 
Fawn nodded. She accepted the candle without a word, then waited patiently while he lit it. "If you can't find anything, you can always go get someone to help," she suggested, but hoped he had already thought of that rather obvious solution. That seemed like the best choice, at least to her.

Redd wasn't quite ready to return to the party he had come uninvited to. A little more snooping and then he would go, but not until he had had his fill. And luckily for him but unluckily for Edmund, snooping was something he was well learned in. He had poked around in too many rooms to count by now except for Edmund's library, which was his main goal to hit.
 
Alfric dropped the makeshift torch on the floor and stamped it out. "You keep it." He said, kicking the last of the flames out. "You might need it."
He glanced up at Fawn, lighting a candle for himself from hers, and then backing away into the storeroom.
The candle wasn't quite as bright as the torch had been, but far more reliable, and would last far longer. He walked around the perimeter of the wall, stopping at an old wardrobe shrouded in cobwebs. As he began brushing back the webs, he noticed the carvings in the wood. Pure oak, warm and bright, intricately engraved with images of thistles and wild flowers. It didn't seem to have lost any of its original charm, only, it had been forgotten. Left behind with the milk to curdle. He sighed and placed the candle between his teeth, grabbing the latch on the door. The thing practically fell open, dust rising up into the air like a cloud of smoke. Alfric removed the candle from his mouth and coughed into the crook of his arm, cursing. He lit up the inside of the closet and peered inside. Whatever had once been in there was no longer wearable attire - time had clearly taken its toll, and what time couldn't do, the moths did for it. He placed the candle gently on the floor, careful not to kill the flame, and then used his hand to rummage through the clothes. At the very back, behind a pair of moth-eaten trousers, he found a large box. He wiped the dust from it and yanked it from the wardrobe as best as he could with one arm. Using the dim light of the candle he found the lip of the lid and pushed his fingers underneath it, pulling the top of the box off and dropping it on to the floor next to him.

Fawn watched boredly from the crack. When she could no longer see much of him besides his blurred outline, she stepped back to examine the passage more. With her candle, she went ahead a few feet, examining every slight book and cranny of the walls. They looked so much older than the meager twenty-five years they had been here. But then it struck her, and she felt rather dumb: these tunnels had been here much longer than that. They had to of been, seeing that they were nearly at the very base of the old castle. Excitement welled up in her, causing her to forget the present circumstance she was in, as she continued on through.
 
Alfric reappeared at the doorway a few moments later, something tucked beneath his arm. "Fawn. I found something." He called.

Fawn barely heard the echo of his voice, but it was enough to make her turn back. She poked her head through the crack and craned her neck slightly to see him. "You found something, like personal property of Sir Edmund?" She asked, smirking slightly.
