[color=aba000]"Aha, I'll be fine little one. Just a small stomach ache is all."[/color] The dragon smiled, patting Sol on the head. [color=aba000]"Now, instead of being nervous, Sol, think of it as an adventure! Think of the things you might find inside! Treasure! Adventure! Monster slaying!"[/color] The dragon was of course, speaking of things that'd make her get her own butt in gear but details, details. [color=aba000]"Of course, if you want to stay here and make sure no evil meanies flee from big-sis Luna while she heroically beats them to a pulp that is fine too~"[/color] She flashed Luna a grin.

[color=00aeef]"A-ah...u-uhm."[/color] Miren was caught off guard as Eith pulled her closer. Not that she really minded, of course, but she didn't like surprises. Adorable bunny buns were weak to sudden things. [color=00aeef]"R-right. W-well, it should be mostly abandoned. Maybe some...small animals or something but there shouldn't be anything too terrible inside."[/color] She pulled Eith towards the large, half-open doors that lead into the old place. [color=00aeef]"W-well! Come on then..."[/color] Miren gulped, pulling her hand out of Eith's grasp and motioning for everyone to follow. [color=00aeef]"W-we should get going."[/color] Despite the nervousness, Miren liked to think she was in her element in old places like this and she'd be lying if she wasn't excited at the prospect of exploring an old ruin such as this.

Marie sighed, grumbling to herself and bringing up the rear of any who decided to follow Miren inside.

Once there, they were greeted with a very...utilitarian looking ruin. The room beyond the large doors was large, though seemed to lack much of any sort of decoration, or perhaps it had been picked clean by now. The only decorations was a faded red carpet that towards an inaccessible door in front of them, blocked by rubble from a collapsed part of the second floor balcony above. Upon the left wall, there was a large staircase that led to it, and presumably places on the upper floors. A door under the staircase seemed to lead to the west wing of the castle, while a door to their right led to the east.

For the most part, the air inside was still and cold, but clear.

[color=00aeef]"Ooh!"[/color] Miren hopped eagerly inside towards the center of the room. [color=00aeef]"I wonder who built this...it's definitely not from any human histories that I know of."[/color] The rabbit eagerly hopped over to the staircase. [color=00aeef]"S-so...uhm, perhaps we should search the rooms? We shouldn't split up entirely though. Old places like this are certain to have a few surprises."[/color] Miren was rather excited, forgetting that she wasn't the one in charge here.

Meanwhile, Marie remained silent, intent on hanging back and not interacting with any of the others. Katherine had put her in a foul mood, it seemed.
