Matthias frowned and said, "Hmmmm. I am not sure of the significance of the pictures with them...but there are three words that contain 4 letters, and one word that contains 5 letters. The numbers beneath them are all in their twenties, except for the 41 under "Tale." As such, I don't think we should pick the "Fable" or the "Tale" doors--they don't seem to fit established patterns. We should go through either the "Story" door or the "Yarn" door--I would trust your judgement to pick which you think is better."<br/><br/>And it was true--Matthias would trust this person he'd only just met. It wasn't like he had many other options, and the thought of traversing this place alone was a genuinely disturbing thought. Two sets of eyes were better than one set, and that was even more true about minds and hands. He wasn't sure if he would be able to get to know Adrian, though; both men were here for very personal reasons, reason unlikely to be shared. But it couldn't hurt to reach out a bit.<br/><br/>He added to Adrian "And...I hope you find whatever it is you are seeking here."
