[h3]Eastern Yharnam, Hunter's clinic[/h3]
Torquil looked around confusedly, mumbling something inaudible under his breath as he slowly lowered his axe back into a more passive stance. He seemed just as taken aback by Victor's reaction to Marcus' words as Marcus did, if not more, and stared at the lantern before him with newfound wonder and distrust. He moved a cautious step closer to it, gripping his axe by the bottom of the handle as he used its blade to gently tap at it. Unlike the Messengers the lantern seemed to have a physical presence, however, and it produced a sound that seemed in accordance with what one would expect to hear when tapping glass with metal.

A little ways off Victor watched this, still wearing a frown over the strange behavior of these fresh Hunters, only for his eyes to widen in surprise as he, too, heard the sound of Torquil tapping the lantern, as would Adelicia and Draco. He looked at Torquil, Marcus and Arcturus in turn, then looked out the front door – privately recalling his and Adelicia's encounter with the invisible entity outside – before looking back at the three of them with a deeply concerned expression.
As he stood up from his place sitting on the ground, he accidentally scraped his the blade of the small sword in his hand across the floor, unintentionally using it to quickly brush through the debris he had been searching, only for it to hit something solid and wooden. He looked down briefly, seeing that his sword seemed to have found a mostly-buried, but intact wooden box among the destroyed cabinet. He inwardly estimated that the box seemed about the right size to house a pistol, maybe, but that it seemed remarkably reinforced yet ornate in its design. He made a mental note of checking on that box later, though for the time being his attention seemed better spent on these three Hunters and their apparent ability to see the invisible.

“All three of you see it?” he asked, trying desperately to make sense of what was happening. “But you only just... you can't possibly have enough insight to...”
His eyes widened even more, his entire stance growing tense as he took half a step back. He swallowed, quickly scanning the room around him – filled with Messengers he could not see – and asked: “Have you... have you seen, uh... little... men? Since waking up?”
