[The harpy warning had gotten Harry moving fast. He'd already been prepping for an attack, and had taken to sleeping with his kit beside his bed. Once the alarm hit he was up and ready to go. First plan had been to make for the wards and see if they needed restrengthening, but that idea had gone out the window when he'd caught sight of a small blonde making her way into the arena.
By all rights he shouldn't have followed her. Even not knowing Murphy well, if she really was a reincarnated valkyrie she probably could handle herself, and besides he had his own part to play that didn't involve her.
Because leaving a young woman on her own when monsters were roaming because she wasn't his responsibility or could benefit him was just the sort of logic that would make DuMourne proud.
Harry only hesitated a second before slipping into the dark after her, though he stuck close to the wall and didn't quite head for the arena yet, letting his eyes adjust to the dark and scope out the situation.
Hearing a voice full of menace echo from down the hallway Murphy had gone, Harry was hoping he'd made the right call.]
