Wash did notice the stumble and was inwardly kicking himself for not having noticed it earlier. Between Theta's anxiety and the current set of shared dreams, North probably wasn't getting a whole lot of rest. Wash wasn't going to bring it up now - not in front of Nepeta, and not if North could hold it together - but he was definitely going to keep an eye on him.

"Possibly." Wash was distracted by his own mental account of what had been in the rest of the mansion: there had been another symbol, possibly corresponding to this one, in the dining room; there was a book on the table of the room with the drawings; the pottery downstairs matched the gold vase on the shelf. "Okay, divide and conquer," he told them, heading across the room and picking up the vase. "Nepeta, head back to the white room, grab the book off the table, and bring it back here. North, you and Theta see if you can't fill in that symbol. I'll take the vase downstairs and meet you back here. Sync?"
