[Now isn't the time to appreciate the queen's preparedness, though Alaric does look a little more pleased than he probably should given the situation. Blanche always has been the sort of person to rise to the occasion, and even if she didn't have time to get dressed in her usual royal attire, she's at least got a sword. That's all you really need, right?]
Right away. The hallway back toward my room is blocked, we'll have to head out this way.
[The other hallways leads down through the kitchen and servants' quarters, so there likely should be more people there. Whether there will be or not remains to be seen, and there's no point in speculating just yet.]
I only woke up shortly before seeking you out - from what I've gathered, this storm's been going on for a little while now. It likely wasn't as intense before, otherwise we would've heard it.
[Alaric's words are about as laidback as his expression, but there's no denying how quick they come, matching his pace down the hallway. While he may not be openly worried, this is looking pretty damn bad and he's aware of it.]
I haven't seen anyone else. The rest of the hallway on my end was blocked off by debris; part of the ceiling had caved in.
[Some of the other most prominent knights and Blanche's advisors are down that hallway. It's possible the debris merely blocked it off and isn't a sign of anything worse, but there's no way to know for sure. That's not something he needs to point out to her.]
Finally, I'm sure I don't need to mention it - but it seems the storm isn't natural in origin. This castle's stood for generations; some rain and lightning shouldn't be able to take this much of a toll on it.
[As if confirming just that, the windows of the hallway they're quickly making their way through all are hit with a massive gust - look out for glass shards!]
