Snow reached the top of the stairs within moments. This was the part where he was supposed to start raising hell and kicking in doors. If he had still been as infuriated as he had been when first leaving his room, he probably would have done that immediately. Right now, there was a slight delay. Maybe it was just an after effect of... the thing he wasn't thinking about, but he found himself being slightly more self-conscious right now. Or at least a little more aware of his surroundings.
There were two generally irrelevant issues at hand here. One was that the upstairs split off in several different directions, and he'd have to pick one first before he got started. That one didn't much matter since he was probably going to be searching every place possible anyway, so who cared which way he started from? And two was that he was pretty damn sure there were guards patrolling the upstairs. This is where they kept things hidden, right? So there had to be guards. Right now, he was kinda hoping there were. He could really, really use the catharsis.
...Though maybe he should be trying to get some information out of whatever guards he found rather than using them as punching bags, but meh.
So Snow only took a few steps away from the stairs before stopping entirely, crouched forward slightly and ready for an attack. He was listening for the sounds of footsteps or conversation. Something that indicated where soldiers might be wandering around.
Come on. He knows you're there. Don't hide. Bring it on. He wanted it. Just give him one damn excuse.
