w2: the living
[When Katarina and Endorsi return to the lodge after trial on Saturday, they'll find it's tidied up and normal. Ah, except one thing. The door to the locked room at the end of the hallway is open. Inside the room is what appears to be a spacious master bedroom. There's an in room whirlpool tub that's bubbling, a big lucious bed, a comfortable couch draped in furs, and a beautiful view outside of the clear mountain sky, the gondola in the distance. The decor in here is fairly. . . odd.
Inside, a figure is lounged on the bed, holding a tray of very fancy looking cookies and a bottle of wine.]

Should we ask if there's something we can do to make sure the other two definitely make it? Because, they're not here to hear this right now. And... I don't want to leave either of them behind.

no subject
...I agree.
[A moment, and then:]
More for your comfort than anything else, but... Do you want to know what's waiting for us on this other side? That could be our second question, unless you have another idea.
no subject
[mmmm]
...but, I'm not sure what else we can ask. Well... I kind of want to know what made me say all that stuff on the gondola, too, but that isn't important.
no subject
How about this? You ask him that first question, and if we're confused about the answer, we can ask a follow up question with our last.
no subject
[she takes a breath]
Krampus, is there anything we can do to make sure that the two who are stuck on the gondola right now definitely make it to the station?
no subject
[He shakes his head.]

[Hm...]
Not quite a question, but a request, I suppose.
[She's holding out her hands for the rest of the cookies and the wine.]
I think we've earned it. Katarina, I don't have anything else to ask.
no subject
[cookies. yes please. but... if endorsi doesn't have anything else to ask, then - ]
There's nothing stopping us from going back out there and telling them what we learned, right?
[...that's it! that's her question!
she just wants to be sure. whatever happens tomorrow, she doesn't want one of them to kill the other and then wind up stuck.]
no subject
[He will allow them to take the rest of the cookies and wine, yes.]

[But after he answers that question, he will vanish, with the chime of bell like laughter all that's left behind.]
no subject
I'll leave it up to you. You can tell them if you want to, though that last part certainly sounded like a warning. If you want to go, I'll wait with this in my room.
no subject
...I'm going to try. I'll see you back in your room, then.
