The Burrows were an odd place, at least in comparison to the rest of Madrigal's civilized places. Pheonix, finding herself tossed through heavy, reinforced wooden doors into a long, low cavern, would first notice the lack of Masters here to fetch her. Just a simple toss into the low-lit cavern, and the tilted doors swung shut (and locked) behind her.
She wasn't alone, however. A trio of other humans were keeping watch, and as the pale-skinned redhead was dropped into the cavern, they stood upright. It didn't seem so much like they were waiting to escape, for they didn't make a move to run towards the harsh light of day... rather, like they were waiting for somebody. For her, it seemed. The leader of the three was a taller woman with long, braided black hair... or at least she seemed like the leader, for she'd stepped to the forefront, and the other two had fallen a step behind. Something like a snake was draped around her shoulders; sinuous and black, it was large enough to curl down around one leg... perhaps its head was hidden behind her thigh? "Oh good, another one," the leader said without preamble. "What's your name, girl?"
