[Lillian was not expecting such a commanding moment! And she gapes at him for a good five seconds before laughing.]
Yes sir!
[Clearly teasing, but she takes off after him, their footsteps making it harder to hear the click click of claws, which might mean they were outrunning them?]
[He grins proudly at the response, and thus off they are! He tries to keep alert of his surroundings and still looks ahead for things that may be in their way. But it does indeed seem like they're outrunning the potential enemies.]
Splendid! We seem to be making good progress! There's no sign of anything, correct?
A fair aspiration. Unfortunately, adventures turn out to not be as glamorous as one would expect. If anything, these dark and dangerous tunnels are a fitting metaphor for the type of adventure Retrospec traps us with.
Lilliaaaan
[Thinking quickly, Byakuya makes the call.]
Let's not take the risk. I officially declare my decision to be evasive maneuvers! We are to start moving immediately!
[And, unless there are any objections, he'll start running!]

[Listening didn't reveal any claw sounds, at least.]
...Nothin' right now. [She agreed, though she doubted they were out of the woods.]
no subject
Yes, we seem to be clear for the moment. If we keep staying one foot ahead of danger, then we can make it through this.
Did you also come down here looking for answers?
no subject
Well, that and I mean, come on, who's gonna resist a mysterious tunnel that was pointed out by a magical glowin' light?
no subject
Unfortunately, I've yet to find anything truly substantial down here.

[She sighed.]
I was hopin' this would be some kinda big adventure, ya know?
no subject
no subject
I gotta take your word for it, cause I ain't gotten to have any adventures yet! Hence the hopin'...
Well. [She gestured down the tunnel.]
Wanna keep goin' and see what we find?
no subject
Of course. The only way to move is forward. It's also the only way to see if we can seize that ideal adventure that you seek.
no subject
Glad you're on the team.
[And off they went, down the tunnel.]
