Valeska frowns, then brightens. At first, she didn't know what to think of someone who felt strong enough to lecture her, and then bolt away... but then, if he is to disappear as mysteriously as he arrived, then perhaps the gods did in fact send him as a sign. As she trudged down the hallway, her mood improved.
And then, ahead, the lantern lights. Now she thought quickly. Is that the mage, or a foe?
That's two lights, Valeska realizes. That's not Kit.
The kobolds did not have their own lights--is it them or not, either? Not wanting to get caught off guard in the passage, but not knowing what awaits her, she runs at top speed toward the chamber. Before entering the chamber, she plants her foot on the passageway wall on the left side, and vaults into the room, landing to the right of the passage.
