I was just saying it's a possibility! [Which...is probably the same thing, and she avoids eye contact beyond a quick glance.] It's not like I don't want us to get out alive.

But you still think we might not. [ Calm and cold. This is the time where Tyr doesn't even want to tolerate her cynicism. ] We can fight, and if we need it, I have a water rune. There's no reason to think we'll die easily.

You don't have to remind me! [Or maybe he does. As annoyed as she is by his tone, she's--although she'd deny it--also a bit less pessimistic now.]

[ Not that he can tell. ] I hope not...

[ He looks away from her and starts walking again. Unlike before, at least it's not pitch black, but he can barely see anything but the bare outlines of the hallway. ]

Hmph... [And she's not exactly the best at expressing it, either...

She's silent for only a brief while before speaking up again, still a bit moody.] I can't see a thing...Let's light that torch again.

[ He'd be happy if he knew, at least.

He doesn't say a word as he pull the makeshift torch out again and holds it close her her to light. ] You can carry it this time, too.

[If only-!

She makes a grunt, lights the tip, and snatches it from his hand.] Now let's just get moving.

[In the dim light, the corridor seems long and featureless.]

[ If only! ;_;

Like that monster...illusion thing. He's sort of irritated by her behaviour - really, she can be annoying! - and just keeps quiet as they walk. ]

[;_;

Poor Tyr. Rita's not entirely oblivious to his annoyance this time, but she's too moody to apologize, too...So she just sighs behind him.

There's an answering sigh to Tyr's right.]

[ If she had any doubts, she would know how annoyed he is when he turns around to grumble at her. ]

You don't need to sigh that much. I heard you.

[ Because...it's not like there's anyone but the two of them, right? His ears are just playing tricks on him. ]

Huh? What's your problem? [She answers with a scowl, because she only sighed once! And didn't hear anything else. Maybe Tyr's more annoyed than she thought.]

You sighed once and then again immediately after. It's annoying. [ Tyr definitely wasn't hearing things either. ] Don't get fed up on me just because we haven't gotten out yet.

What? [Rita sure thinks she is! Her voice and expression are mixes of disbelief and annoyance.] Idiot! Don't start hearing things that didn't happen!

[ And Tyr is all annoyance all the time. ] I'm not hearing things!

[ He sighs and turns back away from her. ] It was probably just a draft or something if it wasn't you... [ And there definitely won't be anymore sighing, right? ]

I didn't feel any drafts. [Totally hearing things, even as the next sigh--on his left this time--doesn't come from her.]

[ Tyr bats his hand over his left shoulder, like he's shooing off an annoying bug. ] I'm hearing one.

What's with you? [She watches him swat at nothing, still skeptical, and doesn't hear the sigh that comes from around Tyr's feet.]

I hear something, and if-

[ His feet? How is that even possible. He resists the urge to kick just because Rita's there. ]

-I can't believe you can't hear anything!

Hey! [She's almost starting to worry about Tyr.] Don't start going crazy or anything, got it?

[Although this time, instead of a simple sound, a pair of blackened, gnarled hands seem to reach right up out of the floor to grasp at Tyr's feet.]

[ That's enough to make Tyr scream and let go of her hand as he tries to jump away and free his feet, staring down at the hands with wide, horrified eyes. He both wants it to be imaginary and for it to be real just so he's not insane. ]

[It's so sudden and startling that Rita screams too--and again when she follows his gaze down and sees the hands. They're definitely not imaginary.] W-what the hell is that?!

[The hands hold tight to Tyr's ankles, joined by another pair of hands that just comes right through the floorboards.]

[ For the hands looking so thin, they're strong. His feet can barely move to the side, much less be picked up. ]

I don't care! [ It doesn't matter what they are. He just has to get out, but he's reluctant to risk losing his staff to some monsters. Of course, he's much more reluctant to die...

He fumbles for his staff while still just watching the hands. He's sure Rita has the sense to not be ensnared. ]

W-what do you mean you don't--how the hell can they just- [She's horrified, wishing very much she had gotten Levitation to work, and more hands are reaching up--she backs away a step, and then strikes at one with her whip; it recoils and lets go of Tyr.]

Just...

[ He breathes a little when one of the hands releases him. Now that he knows they'll pull back when hit, he's more confident to whip his staff forward and strike another hand.

If not for the fact there are more everywhere, he'd feel better, but this still feels hopeless. ]

Youl should try to get out of here.

[Rita throws her hand out to the side in an angry gesture.] And leave you here?! You must be joking!

[And she goes ahead and attacks another one. As they fight, low groans emanate from below them.]
