Expedition (4)

Dahr moved cautiously through the corridor. From each cabin, he could hear groans—some filled with pain, others laced with pleasure.

'What exactly are those demons doing?'

Alongside those unsettling moans, there was a mechanical, inhuman cawing.

Just like what 'Lazhra' did.

Dahr smacked his forehead.

'That's not Lazhra!'

He reminded himself again.

'Besides, why am I even associating that fantasy with my own cousin?'

Feeling embarrassed, Dahr climbed the stairs, making his way up—only to cross paths with Sahmira.

"Oh, I knew you'd survive, Dahr. From the beginning, you stood out the most among the others. I'm sorry I never mentioned it before, but I'll always adore you."

'Yep, this definitely isn't Sahmira.'

So Dahr ignored her.

Considering Sahmira's earlier warning not to listen or respond, this creature would likely ignored him as long as he did the same.
