A few, so Sothis scouts

'Byleth, how did their defenses look?' He asked, moving towards his room to drop off most of his purchases. A brief pause was all it took to tell him Sothis hadn't been paying the closest of attention to those. 'G-give me a moment, Master. I simply wish to be as thorough as possible. And stop rolling your eyes at me!' She whined over the mental connection, accurately predicting what he had been doing at that second.

Sothis floated around Abyss (the place under Garreg Mach, not the void she'd found herself when she'd met her future Master), looking out for anything relevant to him getting in. There was a noticeable absence of hot girls aside from the lovely tanned Hapi and the overly noble Constance von Nuvelle. That's how she preferred to be called, so might as well remember that...

There did seem to be a surprising number of people around here, though few who could fight. Orphans, the elderly, the infirmed... It seemed this place was the 'secret shadow' to Garreg Mach, though what that entailed wasn't fully clear.

In any case, she could at least tell they had some decent defenses. Long winding passages that would **** enemies to approach in small numbers? Check. A lot of locking mechanisms that did nothing when she moved them, but seemed to work for the leaders here? Check. Mix that with all manner of winding locations, and it could take her days non-stop to search everything - it seemed as though this place had all manner of entrances and exits.

Well, she had plenty of info to make her report now....
