A stairwell

You apprehensively grasp the doorknob and turn it. Pulling open the door, you slowly reveal a dimly-lit stairway. Confused, you turn back to the woman who led you this far.

"Sorry, darling," the receptionist chuckles. "Under normal circumstances I'd lead you all the way to Master Tholun's office myself, but given my current situation," she pauses a moment to lightly rub her belly for emphasis, "I can't go up all those stairs."

You pause in the doorway, nervous about continuing this trip on your own. The cow-woman immediately senses your concern, her warming smile calming you down slightly. "Don't worry, darling, it's easy going from here," she reassures you. She steps towards you, almost completely blocking you from exiting the doorway. Your attention pulled upward towards her, she raises her arm over your shoulder, pointing at the stairs going up. "Just head all the way up to the top of the stairs and go through the door labeled '21'. It'll be obvious where to go from there." She steps out of the doorway, slowly taking the first few steps back to her desk before calling over her shoulder, "I'm sure you can get there just fine, darling!"
