The voices of his two young charges snapped Valentine back to the present. For a moment he had been sucked back to the days of his youth and gotten lost there. He glanced at Theory. It sounded like her mother? "It sounded like my mother," he said gruffly. Valentine frowned and then glanced at Sparrow to see if she had any 'mother' comments to throw out there. No? Okay good. "Well it can't be both our mothers," he said to Theory. Unless Rhyme had more to answer for, which was possible but not particularly plausible.
He walked to the cave's entrance and peered inside. It was dark and empty as far as he could see, but that didn't mean something wasn't lurking just out of sight. Valentine did have quite a bit of experience with Somnium so the idea that he might be hearing something of the supernatural variety wasn't outside his consideration. "Hmm," he grumped into the darkness. Their options were stay outside with the bitter-tasting bugs and the wind, or go inside and deal with the voices. He glanced at his girls. "Wanna go inside and see who is playing mom?"
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
