The further and further they walked, the more and more Augusta started to question her choice.  Still, it was the choice that she had made.  She needed to see it through at this point.  No matter the weird experiment, cryptic wall designs or tar-like plants, she would move forward with her companions!  Still, it didn't mean it made her feel very good.  Perhaps it was the fact that they seemed to be moving in deeper to the earth but she felt like it was getting harder to breath.  Perhaps her nerves were actually getting to her.  A shame, really.  She had almost thought she wouldn't be afraid of dying again but the first time around was rather... Frightening. 

The elven woman pushed the thoughts out of her mind as best she could and focused on the here and now.  There were tar plants like back on the surface when Octavia first appeared.  There was no doubt it was related.  Perhaps they should prepare for more demon dogs?  She stepped forward to move ahead with Isidore, ready to use her eye to their advantage if they needed to...  But well, Nick was having cold feet now.  Something to do with his power?  She frowned, hoping they'd all go forward together despite his warning of danger.  She was slightly shook, but didn't show it or try to think of it.  The woman turned to Nick and smiled. "Well, it's fine if you don't.  I think Isidore and I are going regardless.  If it's a living thing, I can gleam information from it and all.  It's probably related to Octavia there anyhow, isn't it?  My curiosity will probably be the death of me, but not today."  There was a confidence in her voice.

Augusta cleared her throat and spoke again.  "I won't think any worse of you one way or the other.  If you want to come with us ahead or retreat to the surface.  Same goes for you too, Donovan, of course.  Not that it's been long since I've met Nick or Isidore but it's only been some minutes."  She gave them both a smile and moved towards Isidore and Octavia, ready to head forward.
