    An image forms in Ermon 's mind, of a wolf staring him down with disdain, as if he'd just said the most obvious thing in the world. In truth, it hadn't been obvious mere seconds prior, but the shaman hated having known information rammed down his throat.

    Avis , meanwhile, feels a psychic warmth, almost akin to a hug. 'You matter. Don't waste your life.'

    Meanwhile, the wolf's attention focuses on the rat swarm. An alien mind, scattered across the horde. Could he even affect it? Even as doubts creep in, eyes lock into the swarm, hackles raised and ears flicking forward. 'Flee.' Will swipes at the Supernal, pushing at the vermin to obey.

    In the minds of Spirits, the Thyrsus is a bigger one. A more superior one than it. It's single word, a single phrase, that gets to the heart of the matter. But it isn't just the phrase. It is in the how and the cadence. All at once each whiskered face turns towards Animus, revealing the hive-mind nature of the swarm.

    Their noses twitch.

    The whiskers sniff at the wolf.

    Then they run.

    Rushing out through any hole and crevasse that they can find.

    It'll take the rest of the 'combat round' for the swarm to run out of the house, but we're effectively out of combat rounds

    The machete stays in Leo's hand as he looks to Avis. 'Remind me or Animus to do a check up when we get out of here, but for now we have a rescue to get back to.' The First Talon looks to Asp before tilting his head to the wolf. 'We'll Check the bedrooms. Don't leave this floor without the rest of the group.'

    With that thought sent to the group Leo began making his way through the living room to check the bedrooms.

    Interruptions. Always the interruptions.

    He'd had enough.

    Animus turns, glaring at Leo with fangs bared and tail extended. A vicious snarl coincides with a rapid-fire sequence of images slicing across the mental link. A man lashing out against the Scelesti, grievously injuring both. A horde of rats fleeing the presence of a recognized predator. A faded representation of his lover: helpless, tortured, and in pain. The final vision, a wolf evading or demolishing every obstacle in its path.

    Pain, frustration, anger. The Orphan welcomes the sensations as a man dying of thirst might welcome even the saltiest of springs. Ears swivel toward Avis, will battering at the Supernal to salve her wounds.

    The Shaman welcomes the searing pain, as he pointedly turns and begins padding toward the basement in direct contravention of orders.

    A light feeling of confusion and hurt is shared through the bond before Ermon puts a clamp on all of it. At least they've managed to get rid of the fucking rats. The Warlock doesn't rush into the basement, though, instead staying in the back and following Leo.

    Follow Animus? I really don't think exploring this place is a good idea.

    Of course, that's not for him to decide.

    Wolfimus do what he wants. Asp felt the images coming off the wolf, saw the glare, felt the frustration -- yeah, Leo had lost control of this one. Lost the faith of this one. Discipline, it seemed, was not yet strong in the Adamantine Arrow of this city.

    And so be it. Everyone was new. To make the perfect Arrow, one had to get the shaft in line and really work the tip, pounding away relentlessly until it was perfectly honed. Every Arrow in their place. Every Talon working together seamlessly. They'd get there.

    Leo's orders, again, were in conflict, but not by any fault of his own - but the thrust of his order was 'cover Animus and make sure he doesn't do anything fucking crazy'. Fair enough. I'll cover him, Leo. Do your thing.

    With that, she moved along behind Animus, watching carefully for any traps along the way. She winced occasionally, the pain of the corrupted Mana still lingering agonizingly.

    Vulgar: Color drains from the immediate area and depth perception becomes temporarily skewed, everything seeming to draw in uncomfortably close, making rooms smaller and all but distant objects seem in reach.
    Vice: Color drains from Avis and her facial features seem indistinct and grainy, as though her identity is growing less defined.
    Virtue: Colors appear more vibrant and everything seems to become grander in scale.

    The sudden flood of comforting warmth was almost as shocking as seeing the rats suddenly swarm away, running terrified from the wrath of Animus. The feeling of her wounds suddenly closing, and the barrage of angry frustrated images that came after it was almost as startling, both for the unexpectedness of it and the discrepancy between the projected emotions and the act of healing. All she could think to do in return was to send an echo of the psychic hug back to Animus, and to Asp, in thanks for their concern.

    To Leo and the others, she sent a question mark and then a brief message: If the rats are gone, we have more time, but we still don't know how much that is. So, split up? Or all for one?

    Creaking, the house falls back into into its relative slumber after the burst of activity that spilled from its walls. Vigilant, Asp doesn't see anything else among the piles of garbage and filth that would have long landed the property on Hoarders: Buried Alive. The last remnants of the scratching of the Sanctum's guardian spirit fade away into nothing as Animus pads onwards down towards the basement.

    Half-rotten steps groan in protest underneath the weight of the Wolfimus. The wood warning the Thyrsus that soon, if not tonight, it would crumble into nothing. The scent of wood rot and black mold reign supreme in this subterranean world, but the faint scent of mint eggs him on.

    Crumbling foundations meet the Wolf's paws as he reaches the ground, the tale-tell sound that the whole house would need to be raised and a foundation rebuilt. Light is hard to come by in this place and the bulb just above him is frustratingly out of reach.

    Leo swings right and finding the doors to two separate bed-rooms. The pair of doors creak open, the sound akin to a scream of terror from the house. Each room is just as dingy, grimy, and dilapidated as the rest of the house. One thing is readily apparent, however, to the First Talon: there is no one in either one. A through search of each would reveal more.

    Animus sniffs constantly at his suroundings, clinging to the scent of mint as a lifeline in the unshakeable belief that if he could reach his lover's trapped soul, everything would be okay, evidence of the building's structural unsoundness notwithstanding.

    Ermon follows behing Xander for now, trusting that the Arrow knows what he's doing. Disagreeing about the finer points of running a Concillium is one thing but thinking he Warlock would be better at something like this? That would just be arrogant as hell.

    Ermon is intent on following Leo around and lending a hand in searching the house. Take as many as those teamwork rolls as you need.
