Stelrein is silent. He had been talking to the lady as if he was gining orders to a ssoldier. With a deep breath he said more slowly, "My name is Stelrein, who might you be?"

"This is wild," says Ash looking over at Homm. "It still feels like stone, but it is definitely moving almost as if it is water. It sure isn't water though because I can't put my hand in it. It is still solid just like stone. This is really wild."
About this time Ash notices, the spot Rasidar had wiped his hand. "Look," she exclaims grabbing Homm by the arm and pulling him back a piece. Pointing at the spot Rasidar wiped his hand, she says "Homm, look at what it is doing. Mr. Knight, look. It is eating the stuff that was on your hand. Do you think it is hungry or do you think it is cleaning itself?
I wonder if the other walls do the same thing? Do you think they are alive? Can I try rubbing stuff on some of the other walls to see if they do the same thing? This is sooooooooo cool," she adds with a smile.

Loriana breathes a sigh of relief. She was worried that something was going to come through. She decides she better go round up people so that they could all decide together on how to proceed.
"I'm, uh, going to go get the others. Um... try not to have too much fun," she smiles nervously over at Ash and Homm who seem to be fascinated by the wall.
Loriana leaves and goes to the intersection. She stops and tells whoever is there, "Um, we should all meet in the Djinn's room. We found a secret door and we should all decide as a group whether to go through it, or check out this door first," she motions to the one unopened door. "Where is Stelrein?"
*Assuming she is told that he's in the sleeping room*
"Thanks," Loriana goes to the sleeping room. She stops in the doorway, seeing Stelrein talking to a newly awoken woman. She walks in slowly, careful not to alarm the probably confused woman.
Loriana says softly, "er... Stelrein, we, uh, need to all meet in Zumir's room." she tries to smile reassuringly at the woman, "Uh, hi. I'm Loriana."
Stelrein asks, "Is there something the matter?"
Loriana smiles, "No, but for a moment, there might have been a problem. Anyway, Homm found a secret door in Zumir's room. And the wall is a little funny around it. Thankfully, Rasidar isn't letting Homm or Ash open the door."
Stelrein quickly nods, "I'll go investigate. In the meantime, would you mind helping the lady figure out what's happening. She'll probably need some makeshift clothes. And I think you and her will be better suited to do that." With that, Stelrein leaves to Zumir's room.
Loriana smiles warmly at the woman, "Take it easy and take it slow. We were all very confused when we woke up. I'm sure the same is true for you. While your mind clears, why don't we work on making this blanket of yours into some clothes?"
~~~
Upon entering Zumir's room, Stelrein asks, "What's this I hear about a door and a funny wall? Loriana said there was almost a problem? What's wrong?" Stelrein eyes Ash and Homm.

Stel, you'll never believe what just happened," says Ash excitedly. The wall eats stuff. Homm got choked, I hit him on the back and a piece of whatever it was he was eating hit Mr. Knight's hand. Mr. Knight wiped his hand on the wall and then the wall ate what he wiped there."
Oh and Homm is OK. He didn't choke to death. We both touched the wall while it was moving, but it still felt like stone, but it looked like rippling water. I tried to put my hand through it, but it was still hard just like stone. And Zu's never seen it do that before. He was as surprised as we were," adds Ash rushing on.
"Do you think it is alive and hungry? I want to try stuff on the other walls like in the hallway and in the provision room. Maybe they are all like this one and that is the reason there is no dust, dirt, insects or anything else. Maybe the walls eat them. Maybe even the floor eats them. We didn't try anything on the floor," she continues hardly taking time to breathe.
"Isn't this great, an eating wall. I never seen anything like it in my entire life, have you?" she adds bubbling with excitement.

Homm is surprised at what just happened. he looks close to where Rasidar wiped his hand earlier, his nose almost touching the surface.
he suddenly spits at the same spot to see what will happen next.

Homm
The ripples seem to move faster this time, as if the wall - or whatever it is - is somehow more prepared. The spit is gone in seconds, leaving the wall once more looking as if it had never been blemished.

now that is as if it cleans itself, will it clean anything that has contact with it? Homm asks himself.
he proceeds to rub his face on the wall, then his hands. after that Homm wets one end of the cloth & tries to stick it to the wall while he holds the other end. he wonders if the wall would just make that part of the cloth disappear or suck it into the wall itself.

Stelrein blinks, trying to catch all the words that Ash spoke, "So... Zumir made the walls eat Rasidar's hand that Homm spit at?" He looks to Rasidar for some help, "I'm sorry. I didn't quite follow everything she said."

Homm
The ripples pass again, and leave a clean wall. They make several passes around the cloth, until nothing further moves from cloth to wall, but they do not seem to do anything to the cloth, nor to you.

As she says that, she hears a weird growl noise coming from the djinn's room followed by violent coughing. She puts a hand on Cedric's arm to draw his attention to it and looks at him in interrogation. Cedric stirs at the touch of the hand - the sensation seems strange, uncommon to him, in no way unpleasant though. As he is about to answer, the choking stops - and no alarms follow. So he shrugs, and, with a nod to the door, just says, "Let's have a look!"

After the coughing stops and a moment of calm from the djinn's room, Mao hears the creature say on a surprised tone "I haven't seen that before."
As there seems to be no threat for those with the djinn, Mao nods and arranges the globes and the bola for their light to be hidden.
"Homm and Yairn have checked for traps here already," she says to Cedric before heading towards the door on the corridor in front of the room where they woke up. Once she reaches the door, she ensures that Cedric is near, takes one of her blanket pieces, wraps it around the doorknob and tries to open the door slowly & carefully, turning the knob delicately enough to feel any resistance and make as less noise as she can.

EveryoneThis seems like a good point to lock this thread, and proceed to the next
