To his disappointment the scattered sparks failed to cause the slime soaked rag to burst in flames. [color=ed1c24]“Ah well,”[/color] Alexander muttered as he unrolled the slimy cloth, threw it to the ground, and placed the piece of wood back into his pack. He gave Senna a small wave and nod to see her off before he turned his attention to the pair. [color=ed1c24]“Well follow along if you want,”[/color] he told them with a carefree shrug as he reslung the pack, picked up his sword and shield, and followed after his younger party member.

It didn’t take long for Senna to run back and report what she had seen. [color=ed1c24]“No loot, huh.”[/color] Well, there had only been five creatures on this floor and the battles had only taken a few seconds each. Get out what you put in and all that Alexander supposed. [color=ed1c24]“You want to continue on?”[/color] He asked her as he walked past to find the statue she had mentioned, curious if it was related to the one at the entrance. Despite her information on the lack of danger, he nonetheless stayed attentive and ready to react as he approached the staircase downwards. Regardless if Senna continued on or not and assuming he was unable to discern anything of note from the ruined statue, Alexander would then slowly begin his descent to the second floor.
