After a few more minutes passed, Harumi smiled and waited one last minute before yet again looking at Akira. After a few moments, she pursed her lip and then answered. “It’s…dark. I’m not a fan of the dark. Plus I like the light, the greenery is always bright with sunshine, but the basement…it’s the opposite.” Harumi muttered, glancing over at the clock and seeing that they could go.
“You can go down there with Master if you’d like, but it’s kind of eerie. For now, let’s go look for them alright?” she smiled.
Even after two minutes of waiting for the search to begin, Sangre had his arms wrapped around himself, Josh looking rather miserable as well.
“Idiot. You’re going to kill me with hypothermia.” Josh shivered, rubbing his arms and sitting on the cool ground while he wrapped his arms around his knees.
Sangre rolled his eyes and sighed, his breath easily seen in the room. “I thought it was a good idea at the time…”
“Stop talking so loud!” Josh said in a whisper, looking at the large door and glancing back at Sangre, noticing his gaze. “What?”
Sangre smiled and let out a soft laugh. “How about we cuddle and share body heat?” He joked.
Backing up against the wall a bit more, Josh grumbled and looked at the ground. “Touch me and I’ll lock you in here.”
