Alexander and Fae walked through a tunnel that extended up to a larger room ahead.
The walls were covered in a thin layer of vines, they crawled on every side. Only the ground under their feet was clear, rough stone that held a flat shape allowing them to walk without too much trouble.
It brought a damp natural smell to the tunnel, as if they were walking underneath a waterfall in the middle of a jungle.
Fae was walking ahead, both swords held in her hands while leading the way. Alexander was right behind, phone in hand.
"We still have an hour, then I need to get back."
There was no response, not even a nod or glance.
Sighing, he dropped his shoulders while staring at the back of her head.
I know she's upset, but it's not like we have much of a choice.
He mentally juggled with a few ideas to make it up to her, perhaps a gift or quality time.
They'd never truly relaxed, not even taken a day off, so he had no clue what she might enjoy.
