An odd thought floated through her mind, she wondered what he would look like in a battle.  The scars on his body made it apparent that he had fought plenty, but the idea of it almost made her feel excited.  Vara capable of defending herself, but it would be interesting to see how they worked together.<br/><br/>She nodded in answer to his question.  “Blackvayne had some computers, but they were more like display pieces, not something he actually used.”  The vampire kept plenty of technology from the old era.  “Some he picked apart, almost as if he wanted to see how they worked.  Now that just makes me more nervous for what he might have planned to do with it.”  It worried her that there had been no communication last night, but only because she worried Blackvayne might have chosen not to reach out to her.  Maybe she and Geraint were not as important as he had made them sound.<br/><br/>Shaking off her fears, she climbed up and began their ascent into the tunnels beneath the city.  It was quiet down there, so much so more than the world above, except when their steps echoed in some places.  They had not gone too far before she heard some kind of whimper in the distance.  At first she thought it might be some kind of wounded animal, but as they got closer to the sound she thought it sounded human.  Perhaps a young child.<br/><br/>She looked at Geraint in the yellow glow of the stick, her brow furrowing.  Speaking did not seem like a good idea, so she tried to pull at the connection between them to communicate the question on her mind.  Should they investigate or move on?
