The storage room is large and mostly nondescript, save for the large shelves and long metal tables where the auction items are being kept. Berna would recognize her own at the opposite end of the room, stored on one of the higher shelves for now. The lights are bright and buzz above them with more vigor than in the corridor. It’s cool in here, too, and though Thomas keeps his voice low, it still echoes.]
Do not lock it yet. The ward muddies my senses.
[And he would like to find the plant expediently!]
