[ The trip was harrowing, quick or no, at least for Bruno. It was like being dumped into a dark, airless space, inspiring a moment of terror, and then, just as suddenly, it was over. That wouldn't save Silco from having a startled Bruno grab onto him as they reappeared at the Lodestone. Thankfully, the retainer lingering nearby to hand the robe off intervened before there could be any further exclamations or complaints, both thoroughly forgotten to instead mumble a quiet 'thank you' for the robe and pull it on as soon as possible.

There, one less horrible thing to deal with, if only a small one. ]

...to what? [ Bruno smoothed the robe down before looking up and giving Silco a funny look. ] Uh, n. No. That's. I think I'm fine, for now, thanks?

[ His gaze wandered off again, this time to take in where they had actually ended up. Huh. ]

Is it just me or is this place kind of, I dunno, spooky?
