Not that he didn't trust the two that arrived first to do such a thing, but it's always good to play it safe. The area near the stairs was decently lit, compared to some of the rooms they had searched. He could see the details on everyone's faces, making it easy to assess their emotions. [color=red]"I thought you were a smart guy, but I guess I was wrong if you can't tell apart persperation and condensation."[/color] Katherine retorted, seemingly offended by his question. Samoth examined her facial expressions. She didn't look too happy with his statement. [color=darkgreen] "Surprised you could make such an observation of my intelligence, considering it appears as if you think there is a visual distinguishment between persperation and condensation."[/color] he eyed her as he said it, watching for any emotional signals. [color=darkgreen]"I also don't care much for acts as trivial as sexual arousal."[/color] he said. [color=darkgreen]"Not that it would matter much in your case, if I did."[/color] He smirked on the inside. The statement wasn't entirely true, as he did find Katherine attractive, even if she was somewhat too energetic for his tastes. Which is the main reason he had less of a soft-spot for her than he did for say, Liselotte. As he said it, the last group approached. Liselotte and Andreim. They exchanged greetings with the waiting four. He glanced towards his right, just in time to see Cyan's tail stiffen, as well as his face adopting a horrified stare as he looked up the ascending staircase upon which they would soon move. Then the boy vanished. [color=darkgreen] Well shit, [/color] Samoth thought. [color=darkgreen] what is it this time?[/color] He left his position from the wall as a massive beast finished its decent down the stairs. Surprisingly, the structure was able to hold its weight, seemingly without partially collapsing in. It eyed the group very briefly, then charged them at a fast pace. They weren't too far from the stairs, so there was little time to plan. They had to act fast.
