[ Riku becomes more alert, like he's the one energized, but it's only because he hears and feels the hum and comes to a similar conclusion as Rosalind does, at around the same time: this is definitely going to draw someone's attention. He leaves his lantern in the corner. Not the best place, but better than where it might be carelessly tipped over, struck, or stepped on.
He instead scans the room for the tripwire and sets to the task, snatching the broadsword he left leaning against the wall as he backs away, sweeping over the lab with his eyes. The windows aren't large here, and that's good, but it still feels too exposed.
They could hide if it came to that, as a last resort. He'd rather not expose Rosalind carelessly to the Darkness... if something gets through, could they really call it careless if it's what helps them survive? He starts towards a window, pulling closed any shade or shutter, testing the latch. ]
Is there a closet? If something gets in, go there.
