BreGle stayed beside Crystal watching Atomik etch the apparent answer. He hoped it wouldnt be all riddles. His eyes slowly tracing the stairs to its ceiling. Hearing what Crystal said to herself, BreGle took a breath. They knew each other, they knew how they would act. If they are in the same city, and seeing the same tower than they will know to come here. It was a bit amusing to him that in a way even with some of his friends not around ,they all would surely knew what would be needed to be done. 

"If we don't cross paths soon, we may need to double back and look for them." BreGle looked over to Crystal. 

''Maybe they just landed further away?'' He nodded, going back to meet them... they would need to part ways so they do not miss each other... Bre wondered to himself. The partway opening to the next floor he clapped. ''Bravo. '' He grinned giving a thumb up as he came after them.

Up the stairs was the same type of room. ''Someone run out of inspiration. '' He commented to himself looking around. He started to walk on the left side just in case to see if there was something new or different. It could be some hint. A moment later there was something. Small noise and he hold his grip on his hammer more secure. Before he got to say anything about it Crystal mentioned it.

"Did you guys hear that?"

He nodded and looked towards the steps they climbed up. He moved back closer and  was ready to cover their leader if things went bad. maybe it was a time limit monster? Like in those games if you took too long a monster starts going after you. 
"Hello? Are you a friend or a foe?" He started swinging his hammer in slow circles wondering if ever someone answered that question with foe? Luckily it was a friend and BreGle stopped his hammer going back to a relaxed position. Well more relaxed. 

Now everything will go smoothly, being back to the full group made him feel a lot better. NO need to worry for his friends getting in trouble. If they get in trouble it would be collective.

''While you guys solve the puzzles I am taking the watch duty just in case some foe does decide to join us.'' He gave both of the friends  who joined them, a friendly pat, of I am happy you are all right, as he moved to watch the steps.
