He was breathing heavily at barely the thought of his children being down there in pain. He couldn't do anything for them at all, he didn't have the money for a professional search team and he couldn't go down there on his own to search, it would have been to dangerous both for himself and the children up here. They would get the idea to help him and come down too resulting in only more casualties. He swept his hand over the table, letting more items clatter onto the ground. He put both hands on his head wanting to scream and shout but he kept himself composed only screaming somewhat internally. He dropped himself down into his chair once more while dropping his hands past his sides. The soft creaking of the door followed up by the soft gentle voice took his attention. He turned his head to the side seeing the young primal girl standing in the door opening. He simply gazed at her for a moment seemingly quite sad about the situation. He had to have a moment to gather his thoughts and words right now. After having seen Chris like this it might be better to simply tell her. It wasn't that big of a secret but it was quite disturbing to hear these things over the artifact. Chris stood up and walked up to the door putting his hand gently behind the back of the girl to lead her into the room. [center][color=9e0b0f]"Please come on in Rags... I will tell you something. Please sit."[/color][/center] Chris gestured towards the bed for her to sit on and turned his back to her for a moment to put on some hot water on the small fire stove he had in his room to warm some Tea. It only took a few moments for him to ready the tea. He poured some tea for himself and Rags and put it both on the desk of him as he sat down. He was quite for a moment as he lightly sipped his tea. He had to think for a moment as to what words to use for the girl to understand. [center][color=9e0b0f]"Rags, as you probably know I have been listening to this artifact all day trying to get to talk to them or to get more clues about where Rikka and Yuzu are but... They hadn't responded at all, it might have been too far to reach or it wasn't powerful enough I don't know but what matters now is... They definitly have let hear of them. They are still down there, in danger. I know they are most likely on the second layer but it is too dangerous for all you and alone I wouldn't be able to search everything. Do you perhaps have any ideas Rags..."[/color][/center] It was known for children to have the most creative minds. Perhaps Rags could think off something that Chris wouldn't be able to think off.
