+Rotting Lunacy+ Antha's eyes flickered, giving Rynn a split second of her attention, before she decided he was of no interest for the moment. "Have you ever looked closely into the shadows or at a butterfly, mon ami?" she asked softly, her eyes following the traces of movement around her, "They are nothing to scoff at." Again her gaze flickered to him, a hint of a grin upon her lips. It was when he began the descent down the stairs that Antha kept her attention on him, glancing at her brother once or twice from the corner of her eye. Are you nervous?
Rynn took up at the end of the line, behind Nicolae. He was unsure how the Mayfair girl would react below, and he wished to be on the safe side. Only one other person outside their family had ever gone below--a maid, when they were younger, chasing after Cian. Even then, he'd been a handful. Her name had been Jenny. She was dragged out two days later, a shaking wreck of a person, her voice broken from screaming, consigned for life to a mental hospital. Jenny didn't last nearly that long, though. Less than a week later, she took her own life. It was on the seventeenth step from the bottom--seventeen out of sixty-nine, Rynn had counted them once--that one began to hear the ghosts. Their voices drifted through the tunnels, a distant murmur, a hiss of breath that belonged to nothing needful of air. The words were indistinct, as the conversations of a crowded subway grew indistinct if one did not listen in particular. But no matter how hard one listened here, the voices would never grow clearer, would never reveal the purpose of their speech. "The crypts are a mirror image of the labyrinth above," said Rynn. His witchlights expanded, multiplied, settled upon his sister's head in a crown of emerald. He smiled at her, a little coldly. "Liesse? You know the way, I think." For a moment, blood burned in his twin's pale cheeks, high and angry, before it faded abruptly. "It's only a little farther," she said to Antha, softly, wearily. "I'm sorry. He wants you to see for yourself, I think."

An unusually gentle smile flashed briefly across the witch girl's face as she looked at Liesse. "Je n'ai aucune crainte," she murmured, her gaze drifting, observing their surroundings, "Though I fear for my brother. He's never been fond of small places, crypts in particular." There came a small laugh, a teasing glance spared at Nicolae. "He cannot even sleep in the catacombs with his coven for that fear." Though it had been brief, Antha wondered if Rynn had noticed her gaze settle on him for a fraction of a second when she had looked at her brother. Had he blinked, he surely would have missed it, but had he noticed, she was sure the emotion was very clear. Distrust. It was a paranoia that had been born in her as a small child and had been building for years, protecting her from the many strangers that she knew wished to do her harm. Nicolae, stay alert, she commanded, afraid that his fear would make him lose focus, I'm counting on you, after all.
