Over the past hour, chaos had been wandering the house in search of the Lanternkeeper or the phantasms, he wasn't sure which. He had been attacked by most of the monsters he had encountered, sent a few of them to their makers and simply avoided others, and continued on his way, his mind turning the questions and responses over again and again. Somewhere in there were the lady's final instructions, as well; find the envelopes and bring them to the grand room. He'd a feeling that wouldn't be easy, but then, nothing else in this place had been so far.

He stood at the bottom of a flight of stairs, wondering whether he should head on up to the next floor, when he heard a rather distinctive thump and the sounds of pain, followed by a voice. Young, female; he had heard it not long ago, in the grand room, but he could not place a face to the voice. Eyes narrowed slightly, he mounted the stairs, careful of his footsteps - creatures attacking from seemingly innocuous places seemed the norm in this place.

At the top of those stairs, he saw the girl lying on the floor, fingertips stained with the blood that was flowing from her mouth. Warily he approached - only to have his own feet jerked out from under him after the first step.

Well, that explained what had happened to her, at least. Gathering and shaking himself, he looked to her. "How badly are you hurt?"
