Kuay halted with well-placed hesitation at the top of the stairs. She peered over the edge, her eyes trailing after Albert. She took a cautious step forward then paused, as if waiting for some sort of booby trap to be set off. When nothing happened, she took another timid step forward. When she felt secure enough, she set herself at a steady pace after the old man. Gerik wasn't as hesitant as her though and followed after immediately. He was surprised he could squeeze into the walkway; it looked tighter than it truely was. "We best keep close." he stated, hoping Layla, Chester, and Ovir had heard him. Anything could happen at this point, and they would have a better chance in a group.
Kuay quickly noticed the strangely modern look as well as they progressed downwards. It was certainly different from the dusty, clay constructed buildings on the surface. Most of the desert villages she had seen weren't so up-to-date and usually kept to the old ways of using availabe materials for things. She gulped and snuck Gerik a frightened glance, attempting to slow her pace a bit to get beside the huge Garudor.
Responding to Layla, Kuay looked backwards with worry, nearly stumblind down the steps in the process: "I know what you mean. This is beyond strange to me..." she mewed softly, directing her gaze back onto Albert, who was now even further ahead in the dim light. In truth, Kuay was just as paranoid as Layla. Up ahead, the old man was mumbling something. Kuay's ears twitched as his voice bounced off the metalic walls and echoed further down. She couldn't make out any words, and was afraid to ask.
To Gerik, the place looked to be an underground army base. From experience, he noted the various similarities, but he would never have thought that an army base would be stationed out here. Why, out here, there was nothing. What was the need? He was intrigued further. "I think we'll have to trust him... but we should still keep our eyes peeled for other ... strangeness." he cooed, a bit anxious to know of just what they had gotten themselves into here...
