Dorrance stood, dazed from the kiss, and managed a small smile. She totally forgot (and probably didn't mind) that the children had seen the two share affection.
"We promise!" Riliane said. "We know magic, too, so we'll do our best!"
"Uhuh!" Allen agreed with fists balled in determination.
Dorrance would wrap her arms around Ren, squeezing her tight before planting a kiss on her check.
"Stay safe, love," she said quietly.
When Ren left, she would hear the door creak closed behind her. She was alone in the hallways again.
On her way to the west wing where the master bedroom was, she'd start hearing the strange sound of...an organ. It appeared to be playing a fugue of sorts and was coming from one of the rooms to the left.
She would also notice some light coming from inside the room as well. She could decide to check if it was an occupant inside. Perhaps the Duke and Marie? Maybe even Bernadette or the strange Lady Futapie. The dead couldn't play a complex fugue, right? Right??
