Esarosa was a little confused by the look that crossed his face as she tried to ask to confirm who Faria was. His answer was a simple 'yes', and while that didn't surprise her, his expression did. He looked... irritated, or was he disgusted? Faria was the lady that was always with Mithras, right? Why did that seem to upset him so much that it actually showed on his face? After all, he had requested her assistance if anything went wrong. Her brow furrowed a little as she tried to understand, but it was no use as he didn't elaborate, or make any further indication as to what had bothered him. Now she couldn't help but to worry that she'd ticked him off, but she didn't want that feeling to linger. She wanted to have fun while they explored the bone dry gorge. Some of her worry was dissolved by his next response to her, and though his words were short, his tone held more zeal. Esa was glad for the change in his sudden sourness over the mention of Faria. Maybe one day he would tell her about that, or maybe one day it wouldn't matter anymore. Black paws sliding slightly on the steep decline, she tried to hang onto the deep grooves and jagged edges. Carefully, they reached a flatter surface to walk upon, and from here they could see the arrangement of caverns and tunnels ahead. It was kind of starting to look like a beehive. Where did they start first? She turned to face him, her emerald gaze meeting his ruby red eyes as he glanced at her briefly with a question. "See anything that interests you?" She looked around them - everything looked kinda interesting. Esa looked back to him, trying to muster a smile in hopes that the mood would lighten - was she just too fixated on his little facial expression from earlier? "We should try to check out some of those tunnels," she suggested, nudging her head toward a cluster of narrow-looking caves, "What about right over there? Let's see how far it goes." She'd start to trot toward the opening of a tunnel, peering inside when she got there. From here she could see that many of the tunnels were connected, and they weren't quite like caves, as the tops open and light shone in brightly. Very fascinating indeed. "What do you think?" she asked Steel, glancing behind her to see if he was coming. |
