Watching curiously as he slid down to the floor and let his eyes fall shut, L found herself honestly surprised. That wasn't what she'd meant for, but with the dark mark on her arm burning her nerves in a white hot sort of pain she imagined her control over her own power would wane a bit. That was the price paid when she wasn't careful, and she knew the hunt was soon at hand as well; but right then she would once more ignore her son's calls for her and press on with this "exploration", after all it had been ages since she'd had a good adventure and Spade was there to help Near with anything he could possibly need. "Are you alright?" She asked kneeling beside him cautiously, her power drawing back from his now shallowed aura to maybe help.
But even as she spoke her mind was on Spade, this was one of the first trips she'd made without him, and because he wasn't one of her own blood she couldn't reach out to him. Allowing a frustrated sigh to escape her lips in more of a huffed fashion, L too sat down on the stone floor, her now deep gunmetal eyes roving across the empty room searching for a sign of life in the darkness. The monks had long ago retired from their prayers and anyone else had likely followed suit as she noted the cold drafts picked up. She didn't know how long he would rest, and since dawn was only a handful of hours away she couldn't risk being caught up in it's deadly light. Instead she pulled his body inside the door baring the cursed mark, and shut it tightly behind herself effectively locking out anyone who might attempt to enter. Once he was propped up against said door, L went about seeking out a place to rest herself; even though the sleep wasn't calling to her yet, it soon would and she didn't want to just drop where ever she was, since that would look bad. Hidden just behind another of the statues within the room, L made herself comfortable and leaned back on the wall, waiting for the next evening to rise.
Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore
You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell
