Crap. That's a bad sign, Severian was the last thing on her mind with this ethereal in the area. A massive one, while she /can/ survive it, it will take a bit more effort than the ones on the way. Alongside the sounds of fighting and things falling it smelled of fire.

⠀⠀How were things on her end? Just as

⠀⠀⠀Severian gritted his teeth. He was

It worked, great, she just has to finish her business here and hopefully slip back out somehow, but it's probably not easily done, not when someone like him is after her, she's had a headstart of course so she's further ahead.
There's bodies of ethereals along the way-

She can make it past him she's sure, it wouldn't be the first time someoen attempted preventing her from entering a hollow, it is, however, the first time someone so high ranking attempted to do that. No matter.
No point in responding, his eyes don't make her back down, she-
