"So what are you even doing down here?" The fragments smoldering corpse lay in ruin. Both women had come through mostly fine. Tolviar was surprised how well the Fire God's champion had handled herself without modern weapons.
"Same as you looking for something." Adri didn't know what she was looking for, but she knew somewhere among the dead creatures things, she'd find what she was looking for.
"I'm looking for nothing, I found what I was here for, its this decaying corpse piece of shit." Tolviar didn't even need Hanlon to find this one. She had tracked it herself, part of her increasing competency and trust from Hanlon who had gone quiet. If not for the madness she'd almost be enjoying herself now, as much as one can enjoy themselves hunting fragments of a death god.
"You kill these things or something?"
"Either that or I've got a shitty way of showing affection." Adri laughed and Tolviar smirked. This was the longest Tolviar had spent in one of the creatures chambers. She noted how it was similar to others, but there were differences. She could practically hear her insanity telling her all about the differences and what that could mean, but she ignored it since she wasn't alone. They continued like that, each not saying something to the other and looking for something interesting. Tolviar was about to leave when Adri cried out.
"I found it!" Intrigued to see what would be worth finding amongst the slime of the lair Tolviar hurried over to Adri who was clutching a necklace with a weird inscribing on it.
"What is it that you have found someones lost necklace?"
"No, wait maybe? I don't know, but its definitely what I wanted to find." Tolviar couldn't believe Adri had come down there without knowing what she was actually looking for.
"You don't know?"
"I didn't exactly get a good instruction on what I was supposed to find, just that I was to find something."
"And I thought Hanlon was awful at instruction." Adri shrugged, but made her way to leave and Tolviar didn't want to get left behind, so she followed shortly thereafter.
