(OOC: Alright, things are about to kick into gear for reals like. Let's see how well I can corral you lot...)
MSC - Merlin
Merlin outwardly ignored her students, but her inner anger softened slightly. She was still upset she'd been pushed this far, but she appreciated that they had come with her. Well, except Cheryn, but Merlin refused to believe that any of her students would just give up, Cheryn was probably just chasing after the mage boy. A turn in the hall approached and Merlin spotted a symbol on the wall. Without slowing, she raised her hand and unleashed a barrage of fireballs into it. It was incinerated alongside a chunk of the wall behind it. turning the corner, Merlin saw the full network of runes and finally stopped. "This is where Feardorch was, isn't it?" She asked Exile. The last of her anger fell away as she realized that one of her pupils had been captured. This was all her fault, she should have warned them about Ansuz. She should have been more prepared, and she should have prepared them more if she was going to bring them. Yet still, she withheld explanations. She was still held back by her emotions, part of her still wouldn't admit what was happening.
Cheryn and Amelia
Cheryn rushed down the hall after Amelia and Tallow. She didn't have to rush far, as the sound of angry cursing lead her to enter the next room over. She entered it to find a room full of computers and an angry Amelia glaring at the wall opposite the door. Amelia turned around at the sound of the door. "Oh, you." She said flatly, "Kid went through the wall. Not sure how to get him back, can't chase him through without knowing what's on the other side. Any suggestions?" It was apparent that Amelia was in a foul mood, but it was unclear if it was because she'd failed to catch tallow or if Cheryn's presence was causing it.
