Kriat mutters, with a hand over her nose. "If the rats weren't eating the carrion, who is?" That has the tone of a rhetorical question; she's thinking out loud more than really looking for an answer. She's not /quite/ curious enough to check the actual source of the smell, though; if it /is/ somebody's larder, she'd rather not be added to the stash. Caution ... and besides, it might very well be trapped or something.<br/><br/>"Keeping a wary eye - and ear - is a good idea." Maybe not so much the nose; Kriat knows very well the stench won't be as noticeable after a little bit, but until then, she's not willing to trust her nose very far. She steps back, carefully, and eyes the door again. The source of the stench... and, like it or not, apparently where they're going.
