Re: 10th floor stairwell, 12:05 am
She wasn't aware of the fact that she wasn't making much sense, mainly because it all sounded perfectly rational in her mind. There were moments where her certainty slipped and she realized she was supposed to be in bed, not in the hallway talking to cloaked strangers, but they didn't last long. Hannah glanced down at the mice, wishing they'd stayed in human form.
"You would do that?" A genuine smile lit her features, even though she couldn't see the woman's expression when she offered her assistance. Maybe she should have politely declined and gotten the woman off the stairs before going on her own, but she seemed nice enough. "Thank you."
She decided to go up, since it would be easier for the woman - who was probably old and frail - and the tenth floor seemed very familiar to her. For some reason she thought she lived there, but that couldn't be right. She'd had to take a coach just to get here. "He might be on one of the upper floors." She let go of her hand only so she could link her arm with the other woman's, offering more support. Hannah took a step forward, prepared to move slowly in order to accommodate her new companion while the mice scampered ahead.
