 The plan was set. But first they had to get a map for the area. At the mention of that the Knight pulled out their map of Hallownest to glance over it. Yeah, they're going to need a fresh one, especially with so many new areas they were unfamiliar with. Hopefully Cornifer was in the area. At Nadia's comment about breaking the seal, they couldn't help shaking their head. The first time wasn't exactly a "Piece of Cake", and they worked relatively alone for the most part. Hopefully Hornet or Quirrel were somewhere further down the path. The Knight put their map away, and lightly tugged on Omori's sleeve, indicating that they were ready to go.

 [b][color=dcdcdc]"Hm? Oh."[/color][/b] The boy looked down at the pale bug, then back to the few that were already heading out. He, like some of the others, was admittedly distracted by the escalating argument between Ganondorf and their pridefully self-proclaimed "Original Evil". As much as Omori wanted to complain about the inherit hypocrisy in that statement, a part of him also wanted to just forget about that slip up and move on. Besides, if this was to free the dark king, then he won't step in either. The two didn't stay long for the fight, making their way to the Crossroads Cavity.

 [b][color=dcdcdc]"...Another long way down."[/color][/b] Omori spoke up, as he and the Knight looked down from where they stood. Looks like Nadia and Therion had a head start, Jesse following behind them- Aaaand Nadia takes another plunge. Hopefully it won't wake up the Gruz Mother. The Knight took a glance at the gruzzers idly flying around. One lightly bounced of a wall and near them, to which the bug kept it at as distance by hacking away with their nail. The gruzzer fly quickly expired in a small splash of...some orange substance, leaving behind it's spirit. The Knight curiously reached out and grabbed it.

 [b][color=dcdcdc]"I think you can crush that to get an item. Dunno if it'll help much regardless."[/color][/b] Omori told them with a shrug. He didn't know what other use it'd have otherwise. The Knight took a moment to concider, and crushed the gruzzerfly's spirit in their hands, spraying out a small sum of Geo. This was a bit more convoluted, but fine. 

 As much as the Knight could hop down the platforms like normal, they didn't want to leave their companion behind. Especially with him overworking himself, from what they can tell. They'll have to find somewhere to rest at some point. Maybe a bench? Either way, despite the boy's insistence, they took to clearing out any leftover cave crickets or grubs in the way as they steadly made their way down.
