"If we do, it'll add a strange flair to any meeting we have with them." Lemm is a bit more amused by that than he has a right to be. He pulls the door closed behind them, though he's not sure whose dignity he's pretending to protect here. "Maybe you've heard this one: if you find someone intimidating, picture them in a compromising situation."
He pushes open another door. This room is in total darkness, and the dust is swept up a little with the opening of the door, but he reaches for his lamp and crosses to the window to pull open another set of curtains. Even a little ambience from outside is enough to tell them what they're looking at.
"Aye, she was a lucky bug," he sighs.
It's a wet room, with a large built-in step-down basin in the middle surrounded by burnt-out candles. The water damage has not been kind to anything in this room and most everything is streaked with black mould, but once it would have been considered a pretty extravagant display of wealth. There's mosaic in here. And to have it upstairs? Unthinkable.
