>"Very well, I won't trouble you anymore. I am sorry that I aroused your suspicions."
>Exit!
>Orin does not respond to you, so you turn and walk up the stairs. Mokou and Rumia fall in behind you, and you think you hear Orin follow you at a further distance. It is probably the longest staircase you've seen in your life, featureless and grey. Eventually you reach another landing similar to the one at the bottom, except smaller and with a more normal sized door. You open it and emerge into a small courtyard.
>The entire place has something of a dreary feel, and the grounds could probably use a bit of maintenance, but it still has a certain rustic charm, just the same. There are a few clusters of ornamental trees, and a small trickling water feature, although still very little color. Looking up, you can see the cavern ceiling far in the distance. The building itself is a single story affair, also made of grey stone, although with a few more ornamental touches than the passage you just came through, giving it an air of rather subdued gothic architecture. Detailed stained glass windows line the wall to the south, giving some much needed color to the place.
>You see an exit to the north and east, and the west where you just came from.
>"Just keep going straight," Orin says.
