Lina creeps slowly back up the stairs, relying on her super sensitive hearing more than her sight. The pair are still not talking but they are making enough noise for her to discern that they are settling down for the night. Someone is getting the fire going. A lighter someone is getting into a sleeping bag. Someone is trying to comb hair.
When she finds a good vantage point, Lina peeks into the old library on the upper floor. The giant has got the fire going and is cooking. He has found a pot and put it on the fire - into it is going food scraps, vegetables, small sticks, and the meal is being seasoned with dust. The ragged angel has given up combing her matted locks and is idly playing with her dolls.
The pair still has not noticed the Daeva Dragon.
And for transparency, here are some heavily modified but important back end rolls...

Below in the basement, Aaron wrestles with the conundrum of the fuse box - which itself is simply a physical sign of the conundrum posed by the Wyrm Nest itself. His search confirms that no Blood Magic - of any kind - caused this. No natural fire or natural phenomenon either. The fuses are blown, destroyed by an incredible surge of power. That would mean the building should be plunged in darkness - whatever residue of that power which remains must be powering the sparking electrics and browned-out light.
The power...
And for one, obscene and wonderfully terrifying moment, the Lord's Beast communes with it! The force is everywhere! Seeped into everything! All around him!
Living fire. Screaming. Singing. Chanting. A babbling brook in a language the Lord does not understand. It rushes from above along veins of copper. Burning with purifying flame. Rushing through and past him. His Beast shrieks in the flood. Cowers. Is left, drenched and ashamed. Is left humiliated...

will be take a -1 penalty to
resist all types of Frenzy for the next month (real time) due to psychic shock. This ST expects that to be RP'd because it is a A Big Thing.
Congratulations on the E-Sux. If Aaron had been using more Equipment he would have got an even more nuanced answer
