Les continued to hesitate, unsure of herself. But there was nowhere else to go. She had no idea where they were. She didn't know if she would ever find her way home by herself. So she took her first step forward. The ground crunched beneath her feet. Her footsteps echoed off the high walls. There was no other sound as she walked slowly towards the doors. As she got closer, and stepped into the light cast from the windows and door, she was warmed by the heat they were creating. The difference in temperature was startling. And then her stomach rumbled, as a delicious smell drifted out to her, enticing her to go inside. If Les weren't so groggy she might have questioned the enticing nature of this strange place, but it was so inviting, and she'd gone this far, what was a few more steps? As Les climbed the few steps up towards the door, Talon went inside. Left outside with only the two black armored figures, Les hesitated one last time, then reached for the door's handle. She pushed the door open enough for herself to go inside, then inched her way through. The entrance hall was immaculate. The chandelier that hung from the ceiling and was the only source of light, was almost too bright to look at. So Les looked around the hall to see where she was supposed to go next.
