A long moment of silence settles, the rain overhead the only sounds in the hall. It isn't clear, at first, whether or not he is even going to respond.

Followed by a roar of thunder...and the sudden wrenching of the clock away from the wall with impossible strength. It falls to one side, and there Kronid stands, still covered in Georg's blood, grey eyes flashing.

"I found you. Run," he snarls, the singsong gone in favor of a horrible, bestial growl.
