"You have my thanks," Selim nods respectfully (or salutes if it's a superior officer) before leaving for the aforementioned office.

Selim picks up his pace, he didn't want to be away for this long.

*Selim heads to the office and manages to convince the clerk to lend him a lantern and some oil. Equipment in hand, he returns to the others.*

 

[Raylis]

"Ready to go?" Elysia asks as Selim reappears

 

[stonegod]

The woman stood impatiently. She would go by herself, but these others provided... cover for her activities. She must keep them on the hunt thought. "Quick! My attacker could be anywhere in there now!"

"You are quite enthusiastic to find your assailant for a victimised woman," Selim says, apparently meaning nothing more than the observation declared in his statement.

*The passage branches off in both directions, left or right. The wall is uneven at times, perhaps from the explosions that destroyed this place in the first place. In some places where the ceiling or wall is crumbling, and especially near the destroyed hole in the wall, there are piles of rubble lying about, and dust is thick in the air.*

(OOC: Some of you mayl have mail from me shortly too )

"Any recommendations?" Selim asks.

He walks a couple of meters down each branch and illuminates a short distance ahead, trying to find an indication of the suspect's passage.

"We may as well toss a coin if we cannot locate tracks or the like."
