>Nod.
>Hold up a finger to our lips in the universal quiet sign.
>Float toward the door, and peer in through the ajar bit; listen as well.
> You nod and motion for them to be quiet. You then float to the door and sneak a peek, as well as listen for anything.
> Cirno was right; it's definitely a library. The bookshelves reach up very, very high, and it makes you wonder if those stairs were longer than you thought; you have to deduce that you're under the mansion at this point. The bookshelves themselves are crammed with books, and you see a clock on one far end of one of the walls. There are lanterns floating around in the air, attached to bookshelves...One part of the library is pitch black, but it's far away from where you are.
> Nearby, you see a desk that is overflowing with books, papers and quills, and other magical paraphanalia. It's quite warm and bright over there, since there's a fireplace nearby that's kept seperate from the rest of the library with a gate. Sitting in a puffy, high-backed armchair is a young girl dressed in a mauve nightdress, complete with a hat decked with ribbons (paper charms?) and a cresent moon-shaped charm. Her hair, which matches her eyes, is very long and purple, and you notice that there are a few charms tied in her hair as well. Although she looks rather pale and sickly, you can't help but think she's very cute and fluffy-looking, like a stuffed doll. She has a heavy tome on her lap and is muttering very quickly to herself, but you can't make out anything she's saying. Occassionally, she coughs in a distinctive "mukyuumukyuu" sound and reaches for a strange L-shaped contraption.
> There's also a megaphone sitting on her desk. Is she the loud voice you heard the first time you came here?
