Late To The Party

Northern, after walking through the dark tunnel for a while, came across a dark hall, a decrepit palace.

But he didn't venture too far because he couldn't see.

He just stopped at the entrance and looked forward with a puzzled expression on his face. He stood with his arms folded, contemplating what to do.

A minute or two later, Cal silently approached him from behind.

But Northern did not even spare him a glance.

"A little startle would have been very much appreciated. You are a kid, act like one."

Northern did not give any reaction to his words. He just stared forward with his puzzled expression even as he responded to him.

"Why would I act surprised when I already saw you coming since you entered the cave? Besides, I'm not a kid."

Cal looked at him from behind and almost sneered but ate it up and looked forward.

"There's no way in front… is your friend probably not here?"
