It was somewhat hard to believe that the girl rushing past him now eager to explore the caves was the same one he had spooked momentarily upon his initial appearance before her. Those first few moments she had seemed somewhat timid and nervous though now rushed forth with such excitement that even Chord was impressed with her sudden energy. He would grin happily, chuckle along with her laughter and increasing his pace to keep up with her as they navigated through the caves. At this speed they'd probably miss a fair amount, though she seemed to be having fun and that enjoyment was rather contagious. Chord had the distinct impression that once she wore herself out just about anywhere would do for her to have a nap anyway.
She would let out an announcement of her enjoyment of the caverns. The sound would bounce through the tunnels, echoing back until it eventually faded away. The pair were silent, both listening keenly to the reverberating voice until she let out another shout, a simple hello to hear the effect again. Once more the gleeful reactions in Valeriya would spread to Chord and the man couldn't help but join in with the little game. "Hello!" His own voice would call out into the darkness now, the sounds would bounce back as Valeriya's had until also fading away to nothing once more.
He would press forwards a little more now, reaching a fork in the tunnels. "Left or right?" He would question, voice still bouncing as it had before, even with the quieter volume he now spoke at. As the sound faded another noise would catch his attention. The droplets of water down one tunnel causing yet another little wave of sound to hit the walls. He would tilt his head in its direction, though as it would sound a few moments later it was the other path this time making the sound.
