The crew follow the tiny masked guide as they begin to turn left into a new tunnel. This tunnel has many other passages dotting its walls.
Pavel splashes forward.
Pavel: Wait up, Tiny Cheth!
He catches up with the guide, their boots keeping them dry in the water.
Pavel: Hey, so...
He leans to speak to them, but the masked figure only keeps walking.
Pavel: Are you one of the kids who lives in that village?
Pavel continues speaking as they move deeper and deeper into a massive network of cave tunnels. It gets darker the deeper they go.
Pavel: What's your name? Are you seabitten like me?
Time passes, and they walk on.
Pavel: ...How long have you been down here?
Time passes, and they walk on.
Pavel: ...Do you know the way by heart?
Time passes, and they walk on.
Pavel: ... ...Wow, this cave just keeps going, doesn't it?
Phaedra stomps behind them, looking fed up and tired.
Phaedra: Don't bother, Pavel. The little cultist doesn't want to talk.
Pavel looks cheerful.
Pavel: Maybe they're just shy.
Something to his left catches his eye, and he looks up at the wall.
