Chapter 88: Separated
When Jonas suggested they stop to rest, Kim wasn't going to argue. She wouldn't mind some sleep, but at the same time, wasn't sure if she'd be able to get any with knowing how good of a chance it was for the goblins to come through here. Especially with how she seriously doubted that all the goblins had left the dungeon. Not with the portal still open and able to let more into here.
However, it was completely dark, so it wasn't like they'd be able to adequately make their way through the corridors without potentially hurting themselves from bumping into the walls, if not walking into them when a turn came up. Although, she couldn't say how well Jonas could see, since it seemed like he was able to see just as well, not that she really knew how.
Kim shook those thoughts out of her head. Thinking about that wasn't going to help their current situation and didn't do anything productive. All it did was waste time. Especially since it wasn't like she really cared about that. If Jonas could see perfectly in this darkness, then that was his business as well as if he shared it with them.
Right now she just wanted Elin in her arms. Someone soft and huggable. As well as maybe someone to sneak a touch or two in this concealing darkenss.
"Elin?" Kim called softly.
Kim waited a few minutes for a response that didn't come. The longer she waited, the more uneasy she became. She didn't think that they'd passed anywhere a goblin could have been waiting in ambush, but at the same time, she couldn't say they hadn't. Especially since it was already getting dark when they'd even passed through the room they'd fought the troll in.
The only sounds that she could make out was the regular breathing from Jonas and Elmo in addition to her own heartbeat. She wasn't surprised that Elmo sounded like he'd already fallen asleep, his breathing even and deep, given she was sure he didn't have much stamina, being a mage. Though she wasn't sure if Jonas planned on keeping watch, since that hadn't been discussed earlier.
"Jonas?" Kim asked, feeling helpless with not being able to see.
"Yeah?" Jonas asked, sounding like he'd been starting to fall asleep.
