Beast watched the pebble clink down into the far, unknown depths. Spooky. Unfortunately, it didn't give them many ideas of what was down there past "dark and deep."
The hybrid nodded worldlessly and scooched closer at the prospect of huddling together for warmth. Several moments passed simply listening to the wind outside. Slowly, he began to warm up, dark eyes perking brightly, until the hybrid stepped away from Aspen and towards to the ominous depths.
The brown one laughed, and Aspen realized he didn't know where his mouth was. Those tentacles obscured his face, and the voice sounded like it was coming from... below him? Well, that was odd. Aspen decided not to think about that too much, in case it made his head hurt.
"No problem!" he purred, starting down the tunnel. "I would love to. Think someone lives down there, and we're about to be their houseguests? Or are we gonna be the first ones in a long time?"
His eyes had adjusted to the dark, now, and he hoped that could help him navigate as long as some light from outside could reach within the tunnel. Still, he stepped carefully, not wanting to trip over anything that he didn't notice. "If it wasn't storming so hard outside, I might have tried to grab one of the orb-lights to bring down here! Hahahahaha! Why is it so gloomy, anyway?"
