Xerc awkwardly shuffled out of the door from the basement and made his way over to the group, staying a little back. Then, noticing the painting on the wall, he tilted his head to the left with confusion. The painting changed it's appearance to fit with the fire, even though the fire didn't seem to burn the painting. He then decided to get closer.

Still confused, Xerc stared directly at the painting, ignoring the feeling that was looming in the air. He examined it thoroughly before looking to the left. It was easy to see over the others from his height, but the figure at the end of the hallway interested him. He once again tilted his head and let out a little whimper in confusion.
