dark devotion

She asked, and the man answered. There was nothing wrong with his answer that Tox could find and she couldn't tell if he was being honest or not. "Hm," she hummed short and quick, no other thoughts really crossed her mind. An ear flicked back absentmindedly as her eyes drew back to his form and his pale eyes, "Very well." She could only confirm what he had said. It wasn't important to bring up that she usually had help or that she wasn't sure what else she needed at this point, but her mind worked its way through those rungs one at a time. "If you like, the inner floor still needs to be dug lower and stamped." She eyed him for a moment to see how he would react to being given a task so readily after the last one before she turned away, dismissing herself simply "I'll continue my work."

Though she managed to regain some of her level, she still wasn't sure what this man wanted and it wasn't like he was forthcoming and Toxicity wasn't inquisitive enough to bother him for the details. She did, however, spare him another glance or few while she worked, waiting- maybe hoping- he'd have some sort of information to give.
