[ Euphemia has had a long day, and is tired. Swallowing her repulsion at the frightening faceless maids, she tries to ask if there is somewhere she can stay... but they will only point at the many doors leading to seemingly unused bedrooms

[ Stamina, what is it. But when he hears that yelp, he can't get to her side fast enough. His eyes, of course, go immediately to the chair. ]

It's all right. [ Calmly, though he can't say for sure if this is true... ] It'll go back to normal eventually.

[ Euphie looks distressed ] But all I did was sit down in it! Now look... I've damaged it!

[ predictably she looks more upset by the concept of ruining something that does not belong to her than that fact she managed to turn a chair into gold ]

[byronics]

[ She would. ] Would you feel better if I told you the owner of this house probably has several others like it?

[pinkgenocide]

[ She still looks uncertain, but nods. Lelouch doesn't appear to be seeing this as an overly alarming thing, and next to the faceless maids it wasn't so bad, right? ]

Did you find anything?

[byronics]

About the House? [ Examining the chair in spite of himself. ] A few things, yes. Nothing solid.

[pinkgenocide]

[ As Lelouch is examining the chair, Euphie spies a small figurine on a nearby table. But when she goes to pick it up, it too turns to gold. Making a sound a bit like a nervous squeak, she hides her hands and the figurine behind her skirt. ]

N-no? The maids seem to not mind what rooms we enter. Have you found anywhere off limits yet?

[byronics]

If any such place exists then I haven't found it. Doubtless there are -- [ Glances up at the squeak. ] -- "secret" rooms and the like. It wouldn't be a haunted house without them. [ Smiles. ]

[pinkgenocide]

A haunted house? Oh my...

[ She looks at him trustingly ]

You're taking all of this so well.
