Exploration [open]

The basement, Heracles had been told upon entering the house, was meant to be looked through only with someone there to make sure you didn't die or something. The Grecian had immediately decided he wanted to know what about the basement made them instigate that rule.

However, he figured that no one else was quite as...curious, as he was, so instead of grabbing a partner to go with him he had instead grabbed a flashlight and started for the door to the basement. Sure, one could say 'curiousity killed the cat' but as almost everyone knows, 'satisfaction brought him back' and Heracles really really wanted to know what was down in the basement.

Freyr had felt like an outsider from the very beginning. It was very likely just because he was so quiet and rarely talked to anyone. Not that he disliked being alone; no, he liked it quite much. It was nice to be able to get to know what was going on in his own head and stuff. He loved the Quiet Room, especially when nobody else was there. At those times he was able to fully concentrate on the thing he was doing; usually reading something, sometimes even napping.

But right now he was quite sure someone was there, so the Icelander didn't even bother trying to go there to read. He had been very easily distracted for the whole day and he surely couldn't read if someone was in the room, so he was heading towards his bedroom. He rarely read anything there though, it wasn't that nice since it was a small room and being there made him feel quite sleepy, he had dedicated the room for sleeping only. He liked the Quiet Room more, or any room that was empty, really.

As he was walking past the basement door, holding his book, he noticed a person standing in front of it. With a flashlight. He recognized the person after a while, it was Heracles, the Greek boy. Or man, actually. Freyr wasn't that sure about his age but he sure didn't look like a boy anymore.

And Heracles looked like he was about to go to the basement. Alone. Which was something he wasn't supposed to be doing; no one was supposed to go there alone. Freyr stared at him, wondering why the man was about to do so. He was clearly curious; the silver-haired boy was really curious about the basement too, but he had never dared to ask anyone to go there with him. This was his chance, Heracles surely wouldn't mind?

He coughed silently, not wanting to startle the man. "Um... are you planning to go to the basement?"

Heracles looked over his shoulder as someone spoke up, ready to lie if he had to. He paused, blinking at the silver haired kid and wracking his brain for the kid's name...It was, um...Freyr! That was it, the kid was named Freyr...he hoped.

He cleared his throat, smiling at him to hide his confusion. "Yes, actually, I was...Do you want to come with me?" There! That was the perfect solution. If...Freyr...came with him, then he wouldn't get in trouble for going into the basement along. Besides, he had to admit that the basement rule had him slightly freaked out; having someone along to watch out for, and to watch his back, would help keep him focused. Which would be a good thing.
