tw: blood and gore
"Go get your sword" Lan Tian says to Wu Yun, already uncurling his whip from his waist.
Wu Yun still can't do much with a sword besides stabbing it into things and trying to slash it at anything that comes his way, but it's better that nothing. He runs outside and digs it out from one of the chests. When he comes back inside Lan Tian is already going up the stairs gripping the whip's handle.
The noise comes back again, this time it sounds like something bashing against the wall. Wan Mi follows after them with ungainly steps and noisy wing flutters to help her gain some height.
"Why did you have to eat that food? I knew this would end poorly for us." She steps on the landing and cranes her neck around an open doorway to look into a room.
"Will you shut up? You're drawing attention to us." Wu Yun walks ahead and starts peeking into open doorways that lead only into empty, dusty rooms.
