The boy quickly proved to be an enigma. If the fact that he was roaming through the sewers with a broken mech wasn't enough it seemed that the coin she offered, which she could find not discernible difference in from the local currency, seemed to change his attitude. Emma scratched her head as he apologized, but nodded, "Uh, don't worry about it." She said, more confused than anything.

The path ahead was lit by some form of magic- so the boy knew magic? An odd skill for someone living in the city. She accepted it though, having seen stranger things during her short time as a Traveler. As she followed him she felt a growing warmth in her pocket. She reached in, and found the source- Spook's compass, now radiating with warm light. It pointed down the hall, urging her away from the boy. 

She would've kept following him- wanted to, even, he seemed to know the way far better then her, but she felt obligated to use the gift Spook had entrusted her. She called out to the boy in the mech, "Uh, wait up, there's... I've got another way," She said, holding up the compass for him to see. She did not wait for reply- she would trust Spook. She quickly moved down the dark passage, hoping for some escape from the sewer.
