this is devastatingly familiar in more ways than one - his blurry memories of being spirited away from a burning castle in the middle of the night, tucked against a safe shoulder (or at least so he thought) but in reverse. leonide took him through some kind of secret passageway, a servant's connection between rooms. is there anything like that here? is there any other way out of this area besides the staircase they took to get here? any windows? ]
