The puzzle room had a certain charm, with it being dubbed [i]Totem Room[/i] by Benkei. She was happy to get some treasure out of the deal. As well, the next room’s challenges were much more terrifying than they first thought. In terms of the super close call of that troll’s sneak attack on her, thankfully, she had a bracelet protecting her. It was pretty much one of those things that made her life flashing before her very eyes, but she refocused herself. The initial shock of being sneak attacked was over, but it was in the back of her mind. One small mistake could’ve costed her life, and this dungeon wasn’t playing by standard game rules anymore. It means the reality they see themselves in is now what they are in. [i][color=F9FF22]’ Oh god, what’s going to be next… Hopefully, we are close to the exit of this dungeon...’[/color][/i] Kalie thought to herself. She felt expatriated and couldn’t help but feel the world's pressures were hell in a handbasket. It then came to her, and the Chasm was the next room in this dungeon. If it weren’t for her dark sight, she would be so much more afraid. She always had a fear of heights since she was a little girl; it’s the reason why she would rather tread carefully than get up high. On the one hand, Kalie didn’t recognize anything out of place but stayed away from the Chasm’s edge as a precaution. It was a bit shocking that Alex noticed something that she didn’t take notice of. Kalie was grateful for Alex’s skills to see things over her, trying not to panic. She smiled gratefully and giggled with a sigh of relief coming from her. It did help; she waited until after Benkei said his peace to Alex before she spoke. [color=F9FF22]” Alex, thank you for figuring it out. And you did a great job too.”[/color] Kalie said happily with a definite relief in her whole body. As such, she did go up to Alex and high-five him since it's not a good idea to leave someone hanging like that. It’s only because she had no way to get past this obstacle, unlike Alex had done. She has been noticing something wrong with Benkei, but it’s slight things here and there, but he kept calm and as a leader should. Kalie did notice Benkei’s refocusing himself, slightly in how his body language is. She knew something must be ahead of this Chasm, what’s next, more Goblins, like what happened much earlier in the dungeon. It seems reasonable to assume there’s always a pack of monsters before the dungeon's end boss. [color=F9FF22]” Thank god… I want to so get out of this dungeon-like before we got in it… Let’s do our best together, please? Benkei, you are doing a great job leading us.”[/color] Kalie said, complimenting Benkei’s leadership so far through the dungeon. She felt like he needed some encouragement to keep going because it wouldn’t be right if their leader fell apart before the end. The burden on everyone was great; they need to make sure there were no mistakes or die. She had a bad feeling about what’s going on with Group A; hopefully, they are alright. As such, all she could do was smile, for everyone on this team needed encouragement. It didn’t take too long to remind her to look at Kazuki with a slightly pained look of [i]I’m gratefully sorry for being a bitch earlier.[/i] Kalie gave out a sigh and smiled at him. [color=F9FF22]” As plain as it is on my face, I am gratefully sorry, Kazuki. I do hope you can forgive my outbursts… but I was [i]roleplaying[/i] as a bitch...”[/color] Kalie spoke sincerely to Kazuki. She got that off her chest at least, since she needed to genuinely and sincerely to Kazuki. It would be better to start on a new leaf instead of keeping her first impression the same. She hoped Kazuki took her apology much better than the other times she said it.[/indent][/indent][/indent]
