“But, while I was going, I heard…something.” He added.

“Something? Whaddya hear?” Poppy interrogated, getting right up in Urkstin’s face, completely forgetting about her prying apology seconds before.

“Ah, w-well,” Urkstin gulped, backing up as much as he could, “I heard what sounded like that metal plate being moved. And… the weird part is that I heard it twice, with the second time happening like ten minutes after.”

“And you didn’t check to see what it was?” I asked.

“Well… I was busy, Aka.” He responded, looking down at his feet.

“A-ah, right, my bad.” I replied, jotting down this information, “Well thanks for the info. You and Akira should stay here or report to Mia. Poppy and I can go check the new vents.” I explained, with Urkstin and Akira nodding in reply.

With that, I spun on my heel and made my way out of the showers, hearing Poppy follow closely behind.
