What do you mean GO to the light?

Scald hesitates, watching Fic as she wanders farther from him. Whatever they were, it didn't really matter in the end, all he knew was that keeping her relatively safe was important. He felt the same pull toward his family, his siblings, his friends, what little he had. Where was his family anyway? Taking a quick look around, he could see some familiar shapes not far off, but the thoughts still troubled him. Were they okay? Had his sister found the others okay?

It's not until Fic is calling for him does he blink quickly, giving his head a shake. Oh, right, the wailing. Moving forward to where she was kneeling next to the hole she dug, he looks down at it and then up at the spires. His mind reels, thinking more about what she's proposing. Even dipping his own head down toward the ground, twisting slightly so that his ear can get closer. "Not sure. Think the wailin' really is comin' from jus' the spires," Scald comments, his expression settling into something between uncertain and worried.

Standing back up to his full height, he casts another glance around. "Maybe the tremors jus' helped these things come up. Could be somethin' else causing more things I guess," the words didn't really make sense when he said them, but his brain said it was good enough. What he really wanted was to leave, but Fic seemed intent on exploring for the answers.
