"I will gladly open the way for you then but ask you to be careful, it would be a crime to lose a woman of such eloquent tongue as you to those filthy disease-ridden vermin." A visible shiver ran through her at that thought.<br/><br/>Moving over to open a door in the hallway that lead to a set of stairs, Petra could see a pair of wall-mounted lamps along the path, burning with a light flame to them, before she could see the flame itself was a pair of thin golden carvings, given the shape of a flame atop the lamps. They shone light ahead at least, and at the bottom of the step it was useful for the basement cellar was otherwise without a light, though up closer the second one of those wall-mounted lamps showed itself to be detachable from the wall, the metal ring at the top attached to a dulled out hook, where as the first had been sealed with another ring to keep it from wandering off.<br/><br/>The basement's stone floor was dusty, a sack of flour torn open nearby, and few baskets full of fruit that had been nibbled on.
