There's no need for apologies. And just Ignis is fine.

[ ignis says gently; huaisang is an incredibly polite man, but ignis finds himself liking him enough to gently urge him to dispense with formalities. after all, they're pretty much all trapped in this place together.

he's digesting the other man's tale about spirit aides and sensing them, and it's clear that his world is something strikingly mystical -- although it takes him a moment to realise that he's talking about the elevator. although did that mean that he'd pretty much climbed all the way up those flights of stairs? he blinks. ]

Those booths... You mean that one over there? [ he gestures to the elevator at the far end of the corridor, almost hidden away at the side. ]

[The gentle approach is certainly the way to go with him, given Huaisang's general state of low-key distress about this place and all its peculiarities.]

I saw people go in that one, too, but when the doors opened again, they were gone! The other ones are outside, on the streets. I can't explain them at all and didn't want to go near them in case they're haunted. It's too scary!

[Huaisang shivers dramatically, edging just a little bit closer as he casts a nervous glance back toward the people-eating doors down the hall.]

The stairs were even worse than the ones at Golden Carp Tower! I was so tired after climbing just one of them! It was so terrible. I had to take a nap after I got to my room...

[He had to exercise. The travesty.]
