"Waiting for you, of course. And you finally made it!" She nudged him with her elbow. "No wonder it took you so long, with all that stuff." She followed him to the cave entrance and peered inside. It was dark in there, more or less as one would expect; she'd brought the most powerful flashlight she could find, which would likely draw attention from the cave's inhabitants if there were any, but she couldn't say she cared overmuch. All part of the fun.
There was nothing visible in the darkness, no looming shapes to give a hint of the place's topography, and there was no sound from within, which...could be good or bad. The fewer critters they ran into, the faster they'd go and the sooner they'd get paid, but it certainly wouldn't be very interesting.
"Well, there's no point in waiting to freeze to death out here," she said, and stepped forward, drawing her flashlight as she did so. It cast an eye-watering beam through the cave, revealing a wall somewhere back there, but the light was so intense it completely flattened everything it revealed so she couldn't tell how far away it was. She pointed it at the floor ahead of them instead, to illuminate any smaller obstacles, and started in.
