"Hmm, I see," he mumbled. "I have no clue how I got here either, to be completely honest. I don't remember much other than my name, in fact." He ran his hands through his hair as he spoke, and took a left turn down the echo-y halls.
He decided to pick up his pace to a jog as he went. "So, speaking of names, what's yours?"
"Daphne."
"Daphne? Interesting. Well, certainly less weird than my name." He turned another corner and came face to face with a dark-skinned girl. His eyes met hers as he lowered his heels back to the ground and resumed his normal standing position. "It's Thirteen, by the way. My name."
He twisted a strand of hair carefully around his pointer finger as he examined the shorter person. "So, how long 'ave ya been here? And any clues on how to get out?"
"A few minutes, maybe. And I have no idea. Though we haven't explored it much." She looked around at the soaring ceilings and the crumbling arches.
"Right," he nodded, "perhaps we should look around some more?" He looked around carefully and smiled slightly at the sight of an ivy green. He mumbled to himself, "pretty". He returned his gaze to the girl in front of him and extended his hand,
"Let's try to find a window to look out of first. To assess the outside situation?" he titled his head slightly as he proposed the idea.
"I think I saw one back there." She tilted her head back towards the way she came.
"Oh, really? Lead the way then!" he chirruped. "Oh, and I forgot to ask, do you have any clue how you got here? Like, do you remember?" At that point, he was asking questions that he knew there'd be a slim chance to get an answer to. But he was really just desperate for something to help him put together the extremely large puzzle before him. Slightly stressing, but a necessary stress to make him urgent.
"I have no idea." She closed her eyes and tried to recall something, but it was all a blur.
"Whoohoo," he muttered, his voice strikingly monotone and irritated.
Eventually, the two made it over to a window, or, at that point, what was supposed to be one. Outside the castle were waters as far as the eyes could see. Semi-murky, but still clear enough to show a pretty blue like the sky. He mumbled to himself for a little while, before speaking up.
"This certainly cannot be a moat," he declared, "we would certainly be able to see the end of the moat if it was." He put his hand of his chin and titled his head to the side, an exasperated but at the same time semi-carefree look swiped his face. "Thing is, I 'aven't a clue as to how in Heaven's name a castle can just be sitting here –" he thrusted his arms to the sight in front of him " – in such a large body of water."
"Maybe it's an island." She was considering phasing, but didn't want to give away her abilities so soon.
"Perhaps," he mused, and looked out the window. Not a single animal in sight. Not even a pathetic little fish. "But I don't feel like jumping out a broken window to see." He backed up from the window with a sigh, closing his eyes as he did so. It wasn't like him to talk so much, or keep such a cool head either. He was impressing himself at the point.
In fact, he'd only known this Daphne person for a grand total of 7 minutes and yet he'd let his guard down around this woman multiple times. Though, at least he hadn't a reason to regret it yet. He lifted his heels back off the ground and prepared to take off down the hall, glancing at Daphne and motioning her to follow before doing so.
"We're going to look around in some rooms," he explained, "so we can figure out just what this place is."
"We could look around the sides of the island for land too," she mused. "Good idea." She followed him.
