Stepping into the hall from upstairs (open)

Anhinga steps downstairs, she had been staying in the castle and only coming out briefly to see who was downstairs before going back inside. She did go out to feed in New York, keeping her head down. She had been flying around that city for months looking for her sire (who seems to have vanished again); he didn't even go to the concert. 

She drops herself into a chair, kicks her feet up on to s foot stool and sighs. "Anhinga is very upset." She was clearly native american (cherokee), but her american accent had a Russian influence.
