In Bhaal's name.
Walking took a lot of the anger away. Even though the environment was the complete opposite of pleasant, Lull walked through it anyway. It was difficult to judge the landscape in these tunnels, so he set about trying to find natural light. Pinpricks from entrances, anything that might allow their escape.
Ironically enough though, Lull thought it might be safer in the sewer than anywhere else. Of course, the echoes were problematic, as the three of them together could never move quietly, but that was that. They were also a light source. But at least Lull had his sixth sense to help him through.
He himself walked almost silently. Slowly and methodically, he leaned into his steps, creeping steadily forwards only for his quiet to be interrupted by the tottering of Lois.
"Oh, stop it," Lull eventually spat at her. "Even if you can't see, look where you're going."
The boy said they had no connection. His words were acid and ate into Lull. He had touched her. That was all.
Now, with every touch Lois gave him, every time she stumbled into him, laying her palms against his back to steady herself before righting herself, he felt not the heat of her body but the heat of his own. Warm as a gun barrel.
There was a change in the lighting ahead though. The glow of the stick took on a different meaning as the night's glow took over. Lull didn't let them approach it, but turned. "The surface is just as bad as down here. Any idea where we are, where we should go, and how far we should go to get there?"
Business.
He looked mostly at Trevor, knowing Lois would be worse than useless.
