Liam was pretty sure the lady was speaking to him.
"I would if I knew how...?" Liam decided to speak.
Who knows, she could become an allay if treated right.
"There should be a pedal on the right side, near the wall you are facing," she instructed as she was interested in a fellow who managed to enter her domain.
She probed and found that the stranger wasn't infected by her energy. 'How can that be possible? Anyone who has encountered it is infected by it, so how is this man different?' that made her even more curious about the stranger.
"Hah! Found it!" an amused, happy sound comes from that hidden passage. Soon the door moved, and a man hidden under a heavy-looking hood entered the room.
"I didn't think you'd come to see me, Mister Liam."
"Oh, how wonderful. You seemed to be aware of my existence, but unfortunately, I have no idea who you are."
"How can that be possible? You have entered my house, so you must know," the lady seemed to be playing with him.
