(exhausted from his slow progress through the maze, voryn is wary of coming into contact with others. the doppelgangers are a hassle, as he is fighting his way through here every time he needs to find his way back to the courtyard outside the castle. so, he stays low, stays cautious, and ignores for a moment the cries of a young woman entangled with herself. it's none of his business.

what is his business, however, is the exit just beyond where lottie struggles with her hair being yanked. the argument she's having is so vapid that it makes him wonder if she'd be any threat at all to him; however, voryn does not underestimate her. instead, his hand settles on the back of a mirror so that he may lower himself onto a knee to watch. he must pay close attention to the battle, for if the doppelganger reveals the mirror in which it was housed, it will be a quick way to dispatch this thing for good.

this goes on for a couple of minutes.

by the time lottie spots him, voryn has totally zoned out, looking almost bored watching her beat the shit out of herself. the headbutt from her doppelganger even makes him lean heavily onto a hand he's propped up with an elbow on a knee. no, now he's convinced: neither of them could possibly harm him.)

Have you given any thought to finding the mirror your enemy comes from? (he calls, creating a momentary pause in the doppelganger's attempts to wail on lottie.) You should be able to feel its pull... It is connected to you by the magic of this place, and so it is rightfully yours.

(a generous way to put "it's a piece of shit nuisance, but it's your piece of shit nuisance.")
