Asura shook his head as they moved. [color=red]"It's not a matter of talking. Most of these creatures are pure instinct and we're either prey or rivals."[/color] He explained. Had this girl never gone out into the wilderness? Was she purely a city girl who knew nothing of the natural world? Judging by how she talked he'd have to take a guess and say yes that was the case. As the moved in the dark she moved closer to him. A little amusing really.

The further along they went the darker it got and the more vegetation was on the ground due to moisture. For the moss to grow so well the soil or water had to have some acidic content in it. As he moved he sucked some of it into himself, eating as he went. The darkness was slowly being adapted to, no man-made lights helped as he adjusted. Suddenly the pair bumped into a small ledge, if he had been human he could have just stepped up easily.

Asura vaguely remembered this ledge. Like a childhood memory in the normal world. A squeak of a rat put him on guard until he heard the unmistakable sound of liquid engulfing something. Silence reigned for a moment before the familiar slime burbling echoed out. [color=red]" Move behind me and get ready to run if that is violent..."[/color] He muttered to Edith. The huge blue slime was moving towards them and he was unsure if he could handle her if she was violent.

Edith asked a few questions which earned her a shrug while he shifted into his man-blob form. [color=red]"Don't know. I'm not sure how slimes reproduce but she wasn't around when I was small."[/color] Asura stated while taking a more defensive posture. Which meant contracting into a smaller compressed version of himself. He'd let Edith do the talking, he'd do the attacking if he needed to.
