Kai listens in silence, still catching his breath, looking away as she cleans herself and dresses. He returns the smile she offers, glad he could be of help, although he doesn't look at her with as much interest as she him. As she limps onward, he comes up beside her, and offers her his shoulder, to help her move, for the moment, at least.<br/><br/>The path continues, deeper into the earth, becoming less easily traversed. The sound of running water surrounds them, as if the tunnel they follow is adjacent to a roaring river, though it's likely much smaller and slower than it sounds. Eventually, after a few hours of traveling, following the slight turns of their road, they come upon a vast, underground lake.<br/><br/>The dark water churns slowly, fed from a nearby, unknown source. It looks like this may be the end of the road... except, there's, conveniently, a small rowboat tied p nearby, with room enough for three people, oars and everything.<br/><br/>Curious.
