ISLA evil is a point of view They came upon the Temple within the next few minutes, Isla pushing open the large doors and holding them aside for her companion. They would pass through the small anteroom with its Notice Board (scattered, still, with a mix of warnings, wanteds, advertisements and the rest) and down a small corridor to the infirmary. It was of course open, though at this time of night all of the patients who needed to stay overnight were sleeping. Isla made sure to keep her footsteps quiet as she led them into the waiting area, seeing no need to navigate by anything other than the candles already flickering here and there. Both of them could see in the dark; they might as well save the fuel. "Ah," she said softly of his family, lips pressing into a soft line of understanding. "I'm sorry to hear that." Her family, too, were dead - not killed, though. No, it was their kindness, if anything, that had been their undoing. Thinking it best to give Aedion somewhere to rest while she took a look at him, Isla walked them into one of the treatment rooms; there was a bunk and a couple of chairs. Waving a hand, she invited him to sit or lay down wherever he pleased. "It's funny that you should mention it," she murmured. "There is a large Spire that stands in the centre of this place - you'll likely see it the next time you go outside. A terrible creature roams around it, almost like it is guarding the place. From a... mixture of sources, it's apparent that we need to investigate it further to try and remove the barrier."
