Night 74: Secret Stairs
[From here.]
At this point they all knew the steps to get up to the third floor's entrance, and so Castiel didn't hesitate to step onto the escalator, expecting the others to keep up as it started moving.
As they made the short trip to the top, Castiel shifted around to look back at Kratos in particular. This area had been safe of any kind of monsters every time they'd been here, so he was willing to let his guard down at least enough to ask a question.
"How are you feeling?" He needed to assess what kind of state Kratos was in, so that he would be able to factor in how much or how little help he could expect him to be if they were attacked. Clearly Kratos could walk fine on his own, but being deprived of oxygen for so long still may have had some lingering effects.

Once again, the jarring light of the staircase flooded Link's eyes. He squinted against it, frown deepening.
"I wonder if he will have tightened his guard upstairs... We went nearly completely unbothered last night."

"That reminds me," he said as they reached the top of the moving staircase and were faced with the door. It had a lock in it now, just like Lloyd had said, and so Sora went fishing for his key. "Lloyd warned me about something that's coming up."
He'd finish explaining after they tried the door. Sora slid the key in and grinned to himself when it turned without any protest. The door swung open and he stepped through.
