As they moved through the door, Lloyd subtly flexed his hand, then switched his sword over, giving him a chance to do the same with the other hand. The numbness was definitely spreading. It felt like it was in both hands now. He could still feel, the sensations dull and muted, but would it be enough. If he had to fight something, could he keep a strong grip?
He shook his head, trying to distract himself from the worry-
-and then the Sun Room itself gave him distraction enough. Lloyd's footsteps slowed, taking in the damage revealed by the flashlights. There were literal scorch marks on the floors, dark sweeping patches he'd thought were shadows at first, except there wasn't anything casting them. "What happened in here?" he asked uneasily, eyes darting around the darkened room for any sign of whatever had damaged the floor. Whatever - or whoever. Unbidden, a memory of a monster leaped to his mind. Lloyd had learned long ago that where there was one monster there were usually others, and this room wasn't all that far from where he, Ed, and Al had run into that shadow monster and its cat. Swallowing, he did his best to tighten his grip on his sword hilt. He'd have to be ready in case there was was still something here.
