This creature scared her. Hanuh stood aloof as this... demon... explained his goals with a temper and a deadly vengeance. She stood, watching him march off the find his swords. He made it obvious he meant no harm to her, but what if he was lying? She had been lied to before.

As cold water dripped from the stalagmites above, Hanuh shivered. The echoing sounds of the caves leaving her with a sense of entrapment. She had been trapped before. With a shudder, she realized that her fear of imprisonment outweighed her fear of this hulking undead beast. She grimaced as she followed him into the darkness.

We both want escape. We both want freedom. That is enough reason to trust each other... for now.

Hanuh's long, blonde hair was still drying. The curly hair was tangled. With a sigh, she took a rope left over from changing and tied her hair back, so it would not stick to her face. As they left the room, she took one of the many torches of the room to provide light, and a bit of warmth for her small, frigid body. She winced at how monstrous and terrible the draconic undead was. She sighed, following him regardless of her discomfort.

"I was contained before, against my will." She tried to break the ice, her voice timid and childlike, "That small tube, the murky waters... I don't know how long I was suspended in there."

The torch revealed the natural winding paths of a cavern cluttered with rubble and stone. The girl was careful not to trip while holding the torch.

"I can't let myself get captured again. Ever. I'm not going back to that place..." She gritted her teeth, still remembering the bitterness of all her stolen years. She looked over to humanoid and asked shyly, "How long were you trapped here?"
