Travis at first was hesitant in replying to Nemo's query. The sudden crashing sound of granite and Artos' presence vanishing in an instant had not only caught him off guard, but also paralyzed him with sheer horror of the scene. Travis himself was not accustomed to death, assumingly unlike Nemo or Raiya, given their behaviors and mentioned histories. He had known Artos for nearly a day and even talked to him; a conversation between two human beings. In a blink of an eye, Travis' cold colleague was no more, deprived of voice and meaning and existence. Artos was dead.

It took the Untalent nearly a moment to recognize Nemo and eventually Raiya behind him, telling him with almost seemingly absent care there was nothing that could be done now. Instinctively and influenced by sorrow, Travis would have lashed at both of them for not shedding the least amount of credible acknowledgement for Artos' passing. A comrade was just killed and no one seemed to care enough to mourn their tragic departure. It was nearly infuriating to him, so much so he clenched his teeth and coiled the fingers in hands into noticeably tight fists.

But he was better than that and knew full well there was really nothing to be done. Logic of the situation rang clear and it was time to move on. The sooner they can overcome the catacombs dangers and reap their reward the better. Despite his ever intrigue for securing the Paragon, he pondered if recent events were worth the effort it apparently demanded.

"I...I'm fine." Travis finally replied to Nemo though still recovering from the fatal occurrence.

After turning around and re-grouping with Nemo and Rayia, Travis peered down the five passageways before them. At a first glimpse, there were almost nothing that separated each passage from the other. But upon closer examination, the illumination of the lamps on the central and rightmost passage beside it were lit the brightest. But the biggest different was the center passage as it barred the most wear of repeated use where as the others remained untouched.

"The middle one looks like it was traveled the most...but I am not sure if thats either a a positive clue, "Travis paused briefly as he summoned his mana-analysis ability, "or a forewarning."
