[ There's a noise as the first step advances toward this guest, the pull of the blood at the foot as it moves. It's slow, a small noise but one that reverberates in the enclosed space.
The sound is more subtle than it should be, really, for a grown man to be approaching. That may be because, when he gets close enough that some of the scarce light can outline his frame, it's clear that this individual is a child - small, certainly a pre-schooler. His voice is very small, very weak. ]
