[ Vivi doesn't appear to be getting more tired than he currently is, at least, which is some comfort. ]
Under the big stairs...there's a door. [ The grand entrance hall has an equally grand staircase, leading up to an intimidating first floor. All around them, the crystal whispers and shimmers with memories so faded that who and what they represent are indistinct silhouettes, traces of a long-lost past.
Under that staircase, the door that Vivi has identified is far less elegant in comparison; a practical thing, and well-used. It still towers in height, suggesting that whoever does use this door is quite a bit larger than any normal human.
The door swings open to permit them entry; the sight that greets them is a strange one. The vast room that sprawls before them is somewhere between a warmly lit workshop, a study, and a laboratory; crystals transferring what seem to be a refined version of Mist to locked containers sing in resonance. Strange people hurry to and fro between them, occupied with some task or other.
Two figures step out to greet them, standing tall. ]
