The Pit of Slugs was something Evan was interested in finding, even if only for the sole purpose of knowing where it was so he never found himself unsuspectingly in it. Though as he came upon it, he noticed despite the dim lighting it would be rather had to miss the staircase and the drop into the pile of green wiggling goo. Or maybe it was only hard to miss because he was actively looking for it, but either way. He found it and felt very much no longer at risk by it.

But... well then he noticed a stairwell at the end of the corridor on the other side from the slugs. He.. wasn't sure where that would take him if was able to get to, but the curiosity within the Ravenclaw certainly was urging him to try to find out. But he also didn't want to climb into the pit because frankly... slugs were weird. And gross. And he didn't very much fancy taking a bath in them.

Maybe there was a spell he could use somehow? A giant plank he could acquire to use as a way to walk across? Something on the walls? He wasn't sure how booby trapped Hogwarts might be but.. it was worth a shot to check the walls. So he did, pressing himself reaaaaaally close against one side and feeling along it for any grooves or handles or something that would be an easier way across. "Where are you?"
