[since koharu 1. did this last time and 2. is a WEENIE ABOUT IT, w will use her own blood this time. assuming the altar isn't force shielded. which she does check for first so she doesn't bounce backward into The Void.]
[ And Koharu... watches W. Maybe a little too closely for a moment too long, mouth pursing into a thin line. But soon enough she's picking up the orb again, looking over it instead. ]
[she pauses a moment, after slicing her hand to bleed a bit-- her blood, by the way, is tinted black. it's a bit of an oilslick shine. but she shakes it off, turning back to koharu and the orb.]
Way better than the last one! But-- hey, c'mon, are we swapping off or what, I bled for it this time.
[as they go down the hall, the darkness recedes a bit. they can head deeper into a temple. up ahead, they see a door with another inscription, that reads Her Most Hallowed Mercy, but you don't see a lock on the door at the moment that you could use your orb on.
there is also an elevator here. the only way ahead you can see is to take it, but it will take two keys to use it.
... also, the footsteps ahead of you? it is saber and basilio. wave hello. they also have an orb.]

[ There's not even a debate or anything over this; Koharu just hands it over. ]
Sorry.

also, it sounds like there may be other people up ahead. you can hear footsteps.]

Koharu pauses, straining to hear. In a hushed voice: ]
Do you think that's someone else?
[ And not a something else? ]

[she reflexively feels to be sure her pouch is at hand in case, easing a dagger into her hand.]
If somebody is here, they won't be friendly, so stay ready.

... W has the orb, so Koharu sticks close to her, keeping an eye on their surroundings as she does. ]
