Lorenzo had been willing enough to support the injured woman as they went along. Not that he'd had much of a choice, the procedures and captivity had obviously taken a toll on her just as it had Red and for as emotionally and socially incapable as she might have thought him to be, he was at least smart enough to try and keep her from moving anymore than she had to. The grand room, public as it might be, would probably have to do for that cause, because he wasn't favoring the idea of moving her up another flight of stairs to find her bedroom.

The music had been a surprise, but not an unpleasant one. He could play the piano himself, had done so quite often before his body had begun to fail him, and he could respect and admire the skill of the player. His displeasure about who it was did not, could not change that fact. It wasn't so much that he disliked the boy - he did not know him, after all - as that he couldn't help but be wary of an individual so suddenly and miraculously coming back from the dead. Even with Fiona's unexpected appearance, argumentatively people could (and probably did) come from different points in time, but someone that he'd seen killed in this house, right in front of him...

Well, considering they obviously knew each other, he would just have to be cautious enough for both himself and Anna, now wouldn't he? "The ghosts have made her mute," He informed Machi in a matter-of-factly manner, looking back to the woman momentarily. He didn't think there was any need to detail the matter past that. The experience was probably haunting her thoughts enough without going into what he could figure of the gruesome details. The ghosts made her mute, that and the bandages around her throat were enough to speak wonders for what had happened. Without saying anything more he shifted slightly and started to move over to one of the couches in the room to do what he had originally intended: let this woman sit down and get situated.
