"Oh! Yes, we ought to get going," the Scarecrow agreed, deciding to save her question for once they were on their way. "Night doesn't last forever here, which is a good thing if you ask me. On the other hand, morning often seems to come right as you're getting somewhere you really want to go, so we should get a move on."
He paused, thinking. "If you've not got anywhere else in mind, there is a hallway on the second floor I haven't looked into yet." It was mostly due to the fact getting to said area was doubly intimidating: not only did he have to cross the Horrible Hallway, but it was just past the corridor leading to the Sleep Studies rooms. He hadn't been in that place since the event, as even thinking of it rattled his nerves; however, if he was traveling with someone who claimed to be very good at fighting, perhaps all the witches of the second floor would simply avoid them.
That did bring to mind another idea: maybe if he was in such safe company, they'd be okay to investigate the basement. He knew it was dangerous, and as much as he trusted Depth Charge, he couldn't fathom asking his roommate to accompany him down there. He was certain he'd be reminded of how dangerous it was, and that it was no place for someone like a former strawman. There had to be something down there, though, something surely related to Landel and how they could go about defeating him. It wouldn't be so hidden or dangerous otherwise, now would it?
Deciding that saving the basement for once he'd thought about it a bit more was the best option for now, he started back down the corridor. "This way!"
