"Sorry."
Atlas shakes his head and looks at her, mustering a smile. "You don't have a reason to apologize, Aviva. It's okay to be upset. Besides, if you don't let the bad out, then there won't be any room for the good."
As she moves away he lets her hand go, watching her. Seeing the mask dissolve his gaze softens, though his own remains up as it always does. He stays silent a few moments longer, afraid to break the spell. "There's another path across the way that leads back to above ground, but unless you knew where the entrances were, you won't find this place."

"You don't have a reason to apologize, Aviva. It's okay to be upset. Besides, if you don't let the bad out, then there won't be any room for the good."
Aviva stared at him a moment before she placed a fist over her chest. "She said that this is what it was to be upset. I don't usually feel it though."
"There's another path across the way that leads back to above ground, but unless you knew where the entrances were, you won't find this place."
As she was reaching towards a crystal her hand paused mid-air, closing into a fist. And just like that her attention was brought back to the present issues. "So we're safe here?"

"She said that this is what it was to be upset. I don't usually feel it though."
He tilts his head at her, studying, though his smile still remains. "It's alright, not having been upset very often."
"So we're safe here?"
He nods, moving towards one of the walls and runs his hand over it lightly, looking up towards the ceiling. "For now, yeah."

It's alright, not having been upset very often."
"Is it normal for you to get upset often?" Aviva asked with adverted eyes.
. "For now, yeah."
She watched him, her walls back up-only not as half as intense as before. "That's good." She slid down a wall into a sitting position. But from another view, she appeared as if she fell and the wall was holding her up. And that's what happened more or less, just not in her mind.

"Is it normal for you to get upset often?"
"That depends on the person," Atlas replies with a shrug. "Some people are always upset, others rarely are. Why?"
"That's good."
Seeing the sudden movement Vane turns, frowning at her once she reaches the ground before he steps over. "Are you all right?"

"That depends on the person," Atlas replies with a shrug. "Some people are always upset, others rarely are. Why?"
"Just wondering, you don't seem like a the average person is all. "
Are you all right?"
Brianna looks up at him, shaking her head as she realized it took a minute to register what just happened. "I'm fine. I really should get ahold of Aviva to let her know that we'll be later than expected. " she answered pulling out the circular object in her pocket. Opening it, she tapped on a few buttons.

"Just wondering, you don't seem like a the average person is all. "
Blinking, something flickers across his face before he looks away, mustering a smile as he rubs the back of his neck. "Well, I can't say that I'm average."
"I'm fine. I really should get ahold of Aviva to let her know that we'll be later than expected. "
He eyes her, though nods a moment later as she goes to pushing buttons on the small object. He watches, head tilting just a little as he tries to figure out what the object does.

Well, I can't say that I'm average."
'So there is something special about you!" she leaned closer studying him. Her eyes flick over him. "Why are you rubbing your neck? Does it hurt?" But wait if it did, you wouldn't be smiling. " frowning she pulled away putting a hand on her head. "I'm confused."
Brianna looks into the one side of it and talks to it, as if she was talking to someone near her. Once she was down she closed the object with her palm, slipping it back into her pocket. "I just hope she gets that message."

'So there is something special about you!" Why are you rubbing your neck? Does it hurt? I'm confused."
"I wouldn't entirely say that," he counters the assumption, waving his hands back and forth. "I'm nothing too out of the ordinary. I'm fine, really." He laughs lightly, expression apologetic. "Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you."
"I just hope she gets that message."
"You can pass messages through that?" Vane eyes the object carefully, studying.

"I wouldn't entirely say that," "I'm nothing too out of the ordinary. I'm fine, really."
"Why not?" " she frowned watching him about to answer when she heard a beep in her pocket. Pulling it out she exhaled as she opened it. Once she did, a hologram of Brianna appeared and started talking . "Aviva Vane and I will be getting back home, later than expected. Stay put unless you feel the strong need to leave. If that happens , i've sent over the coordinates to where we are. Once you get them memorized, follow through with the protocol. Keep watching each others back. " the hologram said before disappearing. Aviva looked at the numbers as they appeared before she hit a button, deleting the message. After a few moments she spoke quietly. "Something isn't right."
"You can pass messages through that?"
"I can. Do you want to send one to Atlas? I'm sure it would ease his mind some."

Atlas's eyes widen at the sight of Bri, his hand reaching forward and running through the hologram, and he jerks his hand back as he stares in awe. Though he frowns at the voice, tilting his head to inspect the object further, starting when it goes off.
"Something isn't right."
"What do you mean?" He asks, then points to the device. "What is that, and how was your cousin here but not here at the same time?" He replays the message in his head again, then a frown tugs at his lips further.
"I can. Do you want to send one to Atlas? I'm sure it would ease his mind some." .
Vane's expression turns thoughtful a moment, though he shakes his head. "He'll be fine. He's not one to worry too much anyhow."

"What do you mean?"
"Her cheek. " shaking her head she slapped her cheeks. "Nevermind its nothing. I'm just relieved she finally sent a message. "
"What is that, and how was your cousin here but not here at the same time?"
"Oh this? I don't remember the word she used, but it allows you to store a message inside and send to another almost identical to it. Once the other person receives it, you can usually see the person speaking if they have been programmed into the hard drive."
"He'll be fine. He's not one to worry too much anyhow."
"That's good. Besides I know Aviva is bound to worry enough for the both of them. " she replies before her eyes flutter close, exhaustion weighing them down.

His head tilts at the terms, gaze growing confused. "Hard...drive?" he repeats. "What's that'?"
"That's good. Besides I know Aviva is bound to worry enough for the both of them. "
Vane studies her before he sighs. "Get some rest. I'll wake you up in a couple of hours when it's safe."

"Hard...drive? "What's that'?"
"A little box thing that you can store information in. " she answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Get some rest. I'll wake you up in a couple of hours when it's safe."
Brianna huffed softly. " You said it was safe now. I know you-" she emphasized the you, "Slept last night. But you should rest too. You don't look as worn out as you did when we got here, but I know it had to take a lot to move that boulder. " cracking her eyes she moved around until she found a soft piece of earth to lay on.

"A little box thing that you can store information in. "
Plenty of questions start to brim over Atlas's mind. "How do you store the information? Do you write it on scroll or something and give it to it? And how does it send the information? Obviously a messenger hawk or person is used to do so."
" You said it was safe now. I know you- Slept last night. But you should rest too. You don't look as worn out as you did when we got here, but I know it had to take a lot to move that boulder. "
He closes his eyes, brow twitching, though out of annoyance or acknowledgment that isn't certain. "I meant outside." At her next command, he takes another long breath. "I'll be fine. Moving that boulder wasn't all that difficult. It's just been a while.
