In the midst of Valdis seeking souls, she detects one in a spot she wouldn't normally expect: underfoot.

Arietti had found a convenient hole in one of the stairs leading up to the higher seats, which looks out on the races. Here she can stay out of sight while she watches the races and doesn't have to worry about being stepped on; well, not directly. The wood creaks loudly whenever someone steps on the stairs above, but she's confident it will hold.

She's snagged a single kernel of corn and is munching on it as she watches the races.
