Sorry - what's going on, exactly?

[ooc: FOURTH WALL COME AT ME BROS]

You keep doing that while I go check out the monsters.

You're sure I can't dissuade you.

I found a tour guide and all.

[beat -] Who?

Some girl who's a vampire. [ Look at how cocky and carefree he is. Uh huh. ] Xhex. Says she'll protect me.

Huh.

You're going underground to stare at monsters with a vampire to protect you.

[He's making a face.]

Apparently. [ s h r u g. what, he's not even sure he actually believes that there's monsters down there at all. ]

You're doing it again.

[welp.] Terribly sorry. I really can't seem to stop. Wonder why.

I got nothing to do with this. [ Lifting his hands in a mock-peace offering, grinning. ]

When was it you said you got here?

Just today. Word is, I'll be out again in 48 hours.

... If that's the word. [Lucky guy.] I've been here for about three months.

That's the word. [ A beat. ] Huh. How you doing, Peter?

Could be better, could be worse. Suppose that's not too different from usual.

All right. [ Sounds like no mental break down is imminent despite the faces. That's good. ]

[Yet.]

When are you planning on going?

To the underground? On my way right now.

And here I thought I was holding you back.

That's hard to do.
