"Thank you," Celeste sighed as Kryner agreed to take the cursed thing away from them and deal with it. Their new son in law had truly just swooped right on in and helped them out more than he could know. The man had truly made quite the impression on both her and James. She and James tagged along with Kryner, not wanting to dwell in the basement for too much longer. Celeste mentally promised herself that she'd made it feel more welcoming soon enough. "Dear, I did happen to see a few rats down there as well when I was looking through what was all left behind. No photos or old clothes or anything like that, I'm afraid."<br/><br/>Del's heart melted as she felt it grab hold of her fingers and close its eyes. At first, she wasn't quite sure what the little shadow was up to, but it kept its eyes closed and seemingly went to sleep. She gently rocked the little on in her arms, stroking its little face softly as the shadow drifted off. "You're such a sweet little thing. I'll do what I can to keep you safe, I promise. I'll try to get to the bottom of this so you don't have to be scared." Del slowly stood up and walked around the fire to see if the little one in her arms would stay sleeping or if that would wake it up at all.
