Both the second and third arches lead down long narrow hallways, with no doors leading off from them. Realizing he needed to stay reasonably close to his ramp, he keeps to the main hallway, counting the arches as he passes them. There are twelve arches in all, some leading into rooms, a few with actually doors, and one great double door at the end of the hall itself.

*Finally, when he's done with that, he checks over the ramp up to the third level, seeing if it leads anywhere interesting*

But sounds from down below, someone calling his name, tells him it would be best to return... hopefully unseen.

*He quickly moves down towards the bottom level....trying to sneak past...but winds up trodding on....what turns out to be Hlal-Son's tail*

The great copper's head slowly turns his way. "Find anything interesting?" he asks quietly moving to aside, so Luceil can join him on the landing.

*Luciel nods*
Yes....a series of archways, a lot of doors, paint and a hint of stucco, and a statue of my father and an elf...there's also a ramp leading up to a third floor...

"Not bad... not bad... but it sure took ye long enough to sneak off. I thought you'd never take the bait." chuckles Hlal-son looking out over the lower level. "I want you to work with Coriander for now... go eat with the others then come back alone, later. Is your writing as good as the script I've seen on the bluff? That you etched with acid, didn't you?"

*Luciel turns from dusky gold to pure copper*
Uh...yeah....not that good...I was being careful that day...and Kero scared me...I saw him really pissed...I think his apprentice or his master sent me and dad that vision of him...he's a terror when he's mad...

"Then print... I need someone who can make an accurate accounting of what I say as I examine a few things tonight. Can you do this?"

"Good, says hlal-son handing him a slate. "Take this to Coriander and give her a hand until dinner. I'll see you later. Do not... and I am telling you this is extremely important.. do not tell anyone where you are going."

"Don't lie... seriously, it will probably rebound if you do." Hlal-son sighs. "especially if she is a good as my mate was. No... just tell her I've given you an errand and that you'll be out late. Promise to go to her as soon as you get back. That usually does the trick. Bring her something pretty to distract her. I've got a few pieces I'm willing to part with if you don't have anything. Small stuff, mostly. In line with someone like would should have."

I...I'd be honored to have something of yours to give her, elder brother...indeed, my own hoard is running low...

"Very well. I will fetch something along with me, this eve. Until then, young one. I'll be waiting for you on the filth level."
