Scene 2: But why though?

A couple of months have passed and things are going better than I thought. Zuka has really been a fun addition to the squad. He spends every second he can in the Dungeon, trying to get his scores on the Score Wall. He is a pretty decent gamer, when he is not trying to beat someone. Crypt is warming up to Zuka too. He is finally growling less at Zuka's...Zukaness.

I saw Safaia coming down to the Big Room and figured now was as good a time as any to finally ask.

"Hey Saf, so what's the deal with Crypt?"

"Awe don't worry bout him non. He'll stop giving ya the death stare soon enough."

"No I mean...actually that's reassuring...ah no I meant why is he here? He doesn't even game, trust me I've been trying."

"Ah ya well, it's true he is definitely not a gamer, but uhhh it's kinda a long story. I mean it's not like you would want to hear that crazy tale?"

I was gonna leave it at that but as I was turning away, Zuka jumped in front of me, got down on his knees, and giving me a begging look that made me chuckle.

"Okay okay, I'll tell ya the tale."

~Deep Inhale~

"Hey Saf...you need to see this."

Than just Ike that, Safaia got up and headed upstairs and I was...stunned.

I noticed Zuka's stunned look as I got up to talk to Crypt. I knew he wanted to hear the story but it was not usual of Crypt to interrupt me. I knew it must be important.

"Is it them?"

"Looks like it yea. They camped more north than we thought."

Once I was finished looking over the intel Crypt had gathered I headed back down to the Big Room. I saw Zuka still sitting in the stunned position I left him in.

"Ah...Zuka...you okay there dude?"

I barley regestered Safaia asking me if I was okay.

'THUD'

Next thing I knew, I was face first on the floor.
