A silence fell over the nearly empty cathedral, punctuated by the wind and, on one occasion, a single long howl from some nearby canine creature. This, too, reflected their created world a bit; their own castle had been exceptionally quiet at times when most of the members were out on missions, especially after the happenings at Castle Oblivion cut their numbers in half.
Not long after the Superior's exit, however, muffled voices approached the front entrance, the words of their conversation muffled and indistinct through the heavy wooden doors.
"Okay, I know they might be strange and maybe a little scary, but I promise they won't hurt you." Aksel hoped that this actually was the place they were meeting; it had the right feel to it, though he couldn't be quite sure since he didn't check ahead of time. He had gone rogue, after all, and didn't think sticking his head right into their temporary headquarters without a good reason would have been a great idea. "I'm not sure how many are here, if any at all, but you'll be safe. If any try to do anything, they'll have to deal with me, alright?"
Hoping that would be enough to reassure the girl, seeing as how she still didn't remember much and hadn't spent much time growing to trust him after their conversation in the mountains, he pushed his shoulder against one of the doors. With a creak of old hinges, it swung inward and open, revealing the mostly empty main hall. Only one figure, a mostly brown male with his back to the entrance, could be seen, and he did not sense anyone else hiding in the shadows.
"See?" he said softly with a smirk to Raksis. "Perfectly safe."
