"Mayhaps I should lead. I'm less prone to triggering traps, after all. And we obviously can't risk splitting up." He spoke calmly, deciding to hold onto the mysterious tome, which he'd now noticed had a strange padlock with no keyhole locking it shut.

"Based on the two traps I've triggered so far, I'm not certain you're flexible enough to handle it if you did somehow manage to trigger the third trap. And besides, didn't we agree outside that I'd be in the lead, since I can handle the traps?" Claudia replied, closing the diary and pocketing it. "Besides, I didn't say we should split up. The amulet is four floors down, and I don't want to be alone in this house."

"Oui oui, mademoiselle. Lead on." He said playfully, dropping his prior seriousness. He strapped the book carefully to his belt, and prepared to follow Claudia.

"Okay, so the dress is up a floor, in the consort quarters." Claudia said, walking out of the library and towards the stairs that led up to the third floor.

"Would it not be quicker and possibly safer just to open a hole straight up?" He questioned, fingering the Dialer in his pocket.

Claudia looked at the stairs, at the ceiling, and back at the stairs. "I have my reservations, given the age of the building. One shot to the wrong spot, and you could bring the whole thing down, y'know?"

"Quite true. Lead on." He pulled his empty hand from his pocket, and sighed.

"You look bummed that you don't get to destroy something." Claudia said as she advanced up the steps, observing Kakeru's actions.

"Practice in the Warehouse is a bit boring. Field expertise is much more worthwhile. So a bit, yeah." He laughed lightly, crossing his hands behind his head.

"Maybe something will attack us. Y'never know." Claudia said, reaching the top of the stairs. The third floor seemed to be a short hall with two doors opposite each other at the end. Claudia started walking towards said doors.

"Ya got a point there."He laughed, scanning the room subconsciously.

There was a thump, near the stairs, behind them. Claudia's head snapped around, looking for threats.

Kakeru slid into stance as he spun around to face the source of the sound.

There seemed to be nothing there, but Claudia didn't notice the black-clad figure sneaking up behind her. It grabbed her, clapping a hand over her mouth and pulling her through one of the doors.

Kakeru leapt to try and grab the figure that had taken Claudia, but missed by an inch, his body not entirely adjusted to the sharpness of his senses. "DAMMIT! CLAUDIA!" He yelled out as she was taken away, the door closing behind them.
