Running into Eris, Cassandra listened to what she had to say, giving a slight smile at the comment about not going. "[color=f6989d]"life is full of ifs, Eris, yet it we left the unknown stop us from doing something we would never progress. I'm not scared about a possible trap"[/color] this was quite true. Cassandra wasn't scared about what could happen, but what would happen if they didn't investigate. The whole scene, seen in a new light, within the dungeon could easily be a call for help, and Cassandra knew she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she did nothing. 

[color=f6989d]"I'll do what you tel me, if only to put your mind at ease for my safety, but I won't leave you, Eris even if you beg me to. Whatever happens, we are in this together. And that means we stay together."[/color] Cassandra wouldn't leave, simply because she wouldn't be able to stand wondering if she could have done something if Eris got hurt, and she wasn't there. 

When they arrived, seeing Alex was a mild shock to Cassandra. The shy boy from the other night was, most likely, one of the two they had been in the dungeon with, as well as the other boy. Cassandra found herself briefly distracted, as she tried to figure out which was Jukebox. Jukebox seemed completely opposite to Alex's nature, but then so did her own avatar. 

Turning her attention to what was happening, staying silent and allowing Eris to simply take the lead, a natural choice to Cassandra for now. Instead, Cassandra studied their environment, taking it all in, and looking for any possible sign of danger. There didn't appear to be ang. But that didn't mean here wasn't. The other boy didn't seem to have the same patience as Cassandra, nor the same temperament to allow someone else to lead, speaking up at once.

Cassandra looked to him, and said [color=f6989d]"well, isn't that obvious? There's always been speculation that the links aren't truly safe, but there's never been a documented case-most people think it's paranoid nonsense, but I imagine if something happened to a link, then that could be deadly to the user-perhaps-she is linking in without realizing it, or at the prodding of others."[/color] Cassandra didn't say what else she thought, that perhaps someone had deliberately done this, harming Erika to get...what? Answers if some sort, but why?
