"Choice" was very much missing from this place; he knew that full well and still had the memories to prove it. But that was something for later; right now he was dealing with rebounding Johnny back onto his feet and wondering what the hell that pen-like thing was glowing in the woman's hand. Before he got a chance to ask, the light blinked off and the topic went elsewhere. (He was expecting her to pull a gun, but a pen?)

Glancing down, Kyo wondered if the other guy's foot was broken. "Who puts a damn shot put for a trap?" he asked, bending down to pick up the iron ball once Johnny was standing again. He gave the other a nod at the silent gratitude, then tossed the ball up and down a few times. Heavy thing too... For lack of anything better to do and for the chance of using it as a weapon, he held onto the thing.

"Or make them even more curious." Still, what else were they going to do? They had to press on if this thing really was in here. Firecrackers and traps included. While Saori went about helping Johnny, Kyo headed for the desk. If this woman was a witch of sorts, then something magical would probably be where she could study it. His guess.

Unfortunately that means he missed the collection of notebooks. Oh well.
