His eyes try to take in everything as he walked down the long, torch lit corridor. Baal can recognize the value in the artwork - the age and rarity of the tapestries, the price those artifacts would go for on the black market. It was what he had been doing for his adult life so far, and it was habit more than anything. He wasn't sure there was an actual number after awhile that could count the value of just the items in this corridor.
He lifted his fingers to trace the air a hair's breath from the symbols. He wasn't familiar with them, but he could see the repeating pattern on the paintings with the knight in them. It meant something to these people, these Knights that Felicity had spoken to him of on their flight to London. This and that silver dragon was also a repeated symbol. He knew a bit, but only a bit. Just enough to pique his interest and let himself be blindfolded and brought somewhere he was alone and defenseless.
Well, not completely defenseless. Just unarmed of his weapons for the moment. He was still very capable of protecting himself if he had to - he just hoped he wouldn't have to.
As he reached the doors, his eyes looked at the text a moment before he sighed. The words were important, but he couldn't read them. It had to be some kind of creed for this group by his estimation - he doubted it was a love poem from the care put into the etching. Something he was going to agree to when he walked through them. He didn't like that - walking into an agreement blind to the terms. But Felicity had explained enough, about what would be expected of him if he was accepted into this brotherhood. If those words matched that - he would be able to give that.
He walked through the doors, his eyes adjusting to the change in light as he took in the statue. Another dragon, he noted, along with the number of chairs. He started to walk around the table, planning on taking the statue in from all angles when he saw the large man standing there. A moment later the door shut, and his eyes flicked back to it, then around the walls looking for the exit routes before taking the man in again.
"I have to admit, that is a very impressive way of introduction. One would think you may even be trying to show off in a way if they did not see the connections between each piece of art."
