"Hey, it seems like there really is some noise; it's coming from underground."
"Yes, it's coming from underground."
"Could it be the foundation shifting?"

"Hard to say, hard to say. Oh, right, I've seen the blind man's blueprints. There's a secret passage under our fortress. The blind man specifically had it dug. The other end of the passage connects to the willow grove over there."
"Is that in case of a siege?"
"A fortress is static, but people are adaptable. It's not like we have such lofty ideals that we'd fight to the death for Yan and never retreat."
