It wasn't that he actually thought she would leave him there, but it was a real possibility. What if he slipped and fell into some crevice that she couldn't reach without getting stuck herself? There was some risk when it came to exploring places like this - it was a risk he was willing to take, but he wouldn't fault her if she chose to leave him behind rather than risking her own safety. In his head, it only made sense. Still, Esarosa looked distraught over it, and his nose wrinkled as he regarded her for a moment, his pace slowing. "Yes," he would reply simply. She was known as the lady who was always with Mithras. Great. Just what he wanted. Esarosa seemed visibly uncomfortable at the thought of leaving him alone, to stay lost or die or whatever - he shrugged a bit dismissively at the thought. "Of course," he'd reply, a bit more fervor in his voice now. Steel wasn't entirely heartless. Perhaps a bit selfish, but he liked Esarosa's company. She was one of the few who tolerated him. His ears pulled back, flattening briefly against his skull as he considered their exchange of words. With that, they would begin their descent. The side of the gorge, luckily for him, was jagged and uneven in some places, providing his paws good places to grip onto as they went down. This place would be terribly dangerous in the rain, he decided, and he was suddenly grateful for the day's crisp blue sky, which was relatively free of clouds. While his crimson gaze was mostly focused on the stony surface below his paws, it briefly rose to search their path ahead. "See anything that interests you?" he'd inquire, casting a quick glance at his travel partner. |
