Glancing around the room, Thomas realised this was probably the part where he had to decide which group to split up with. He flinched a bit as a large crash in the direction Kanbaru and a few others had gone startled him, though the sight beyond the door which had fallen victim to the crash in question was quite alluring. He’d only ever really seen opera houses in photos, and the vision of one right before his very eyes made him feel very slightly giddy. Mind you, he thought, it’s not like he’d ever been anywhere like this before in the first place.

That being said, the cacophony that Akiko and Ami seemed to be making their way towards equally caught his interests. He’d also noticed that Caprice seemed to be hanging around him, not really going anywhere in particular, just fiddling with some cards. Was she just standing around or was she waiting for him to do something? Figuring the latter, he began to move in the direction he’d seen the other two go before, from which the sound of expletives and insults was very much audible.

He called out to Caprice behind him, just to make sure she was following if that was her intention. [color=violet]“Hey, it sounds like the throne room might be this way. And it doesn’t look like- oh yeah, wait. Where did they go?”[/color] The realisation of the disappearance of the thorn hounds struck Thomas almost as suddenly as they’d vanished. But, as curious an event as that was, they’d probably find out what had happened later. All that mattered was that they were gone, leaving an open path for Thomas, and Caprice if she was following, to continue towards the chambers. 

Just before they reached the room in question though, Thomas abruptly spun on his heels, raising his glaive slightly his violet eyes widening. He could’ve sworn he’d heard something from behind them, in the direction that the other group had gone in, the opera house. 

[color=violet]“Did you hear that? It sounded like something coming from that theatre room.”[/color] Thomas asked, half-whispering for no particular reason, his head turning to Caprice.
