Into the tunnels

For the longest time, Callane remained silent, opting to just follow Theo around, observing her now-changed childhood friend as she did her best to both build her opinion of this new version of him while also slowly setting the foundation for rapport with him.

It was a task that proved to be rather difficult, given how Theo remained perfectly silent for most of the time, slowly pushing Callane closer and closer to questioning whether or not there was even a point to what she was doing.

A doubt that she kept harboring all the way until he brought her underground, a motion that Callane personally expected to lead towards some sort of intimate moment at the man's most deeply hidden retreat…

Only for all of her anxieties to vanish, replaced with nothing but endless shock and surprise.
