[It isn't too far before Lillian slows down, huffing faintly, and she's grateful when he pauses to ask a question, sliding to a stop.]

[Listening didn't reveal any claw sounds, at least.]

...Nothin' right now. [She agreed, though she doubted they were out of the woods.]

[falsepretentious]

[With that, Byakuya comes to a stop and catches his breath. Tapping at his goggles once more, he looks around to double check.]

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?

[aintjustaweapon]

Yeah. [She smiled as she steadied herself.]

Well, that and I mean, come on, who's gonna resist a mysterious tunnel that was pointed out by a magical glowin' light?

[falsepretentious]

It does have quite the allure. [He says with a smirk.]

Unfortunately, I've yet to find anything truly substantial down here.

[aintjustaweapon]

Me either.

[She sighed.]

I was hopin' this would be some kinda big adventure, ya know?

[falsepretentious]

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.

[That made Lillian laugh.]

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?

[falsepretentious]

[Byakuya gives an affirmative nod as he looks down the tunnel.]

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.

[Lillian grinned at that, hefting her bat.]

Glad you're on the team.

[And off they went, down the tunnel.]
