If you need to talk to the Stewards, speak near a spider and a cobweb will appear, projecting the voice of whichever one deigns to answer...

Or you could just go track one of them down like a normal person.

What did you mean by "hundreds of years"? What have you, or what has your Lady done to us?

[If a low hissed whisper can also sound hollow and disconsolate, it does here and now.]

Wednesday after regains

[Franciscus is searching for whichever steward he can find first.] The rules say no harm should come to the animals in this mansion. That does include the ones from our worlds, right? They're only here because of you, after all. [He's holding Hydrangea in Land forme in his arms while he talks. Is he ever going to let his hedgehog child go any time today? Signs point to no.]

[He has nowhere to go from here. That keeps drumming itself into Eric's skull. He has nowhere to go from here, he can't go home and he's closed all doors to elsewhere, now.

For some reason the others have not yet descended upon him as they ought to have done the instant everyone was freed. For some reason, he's being allowed to live. It is worse, really. Even if his teacher isn't here, he can't go home, not with innocents' blood on his hands.

So yes, he's curled up with his back to a wall, his arms wrapped around his legs, his face hidden against his knees. (If he can't see Alucard he isn't there.) Yes, he's wallowing in disgust at himself and hating every single beat of his heart. Yes, there's a spiderweb nearby, but he's not talking.]

[So not long after the Younger Steward screams to everyone about the fan, Thanatos will go and put it back. He's going to just try and avoid being seen by anyone else and use the tunnel again.

He's hoping he can just drop in, put the fan back where he found it and run out of there without any issue. Of course he's probably not going to be that lucky.]
