Great Bear Wilderness Nightfall at Daybreak

Glowing mushrooms and worms? That was a new one for the hybrid, he wasn't about to call Meldresi out on being an imaginative liar, but the momentary expression of disbelief might have done it for him. He mentally shrugged the thought away, he'd seen some strange things so why would glowing worms be that much different.

His thoughts stopped when she invited him into the cavern. Spelunking was probably a bad idea given his current ailments but he wasn't about to give up the opportunity to see something new. He followed as quickly as was able, entering the dark gloom only steps behind the female. The finite darkness surrounded em and despite his attempts to blink the gloom away he was still momentarily blind. There was a slight build up of fear in the hybrids chest as he listened for the footfalls in front of him. Expecting any moment to disappear into nothingness.

Just when Fang was about to speak, questioning what insane creature would call a dark cave home, or at least ask where these bloody glowing worms were, he made out something ahead, a slight light. He quickened his pace as best he could to get out of the dark. When the light source was finally engulfing them he spoke. "For a moment there I thought maybe you were leading me down some dark tunnel for a twisted game of torture" a nervous laugh following his words as he breathed heavier than would be necessary if he wasn't a pansy that was scared of the dark. Between his wound and the apprehension he felt for this strange female he considered himself an easy picking for any sort of sinister act. Not that one was forthcoming.
