"Hmm?" Runa looks over her shoulder at Fellwing, taking a moment to process her question. "What built tunnel? Not sure. We've been here slight over a day and haven't seen much besides small Beasts. Nothing big enough to have made tunnel. If tunnel isn't just another part of mine, maybe whatever made it long gone." She then gives Fellwing encouraging smile. "But you need not worry. Runa doesn't like to fight, but she can defend herself if need be." Her smile becomes a grin. "And Brother very strong! Runa once saw him take on a bearox by himself!" She gives a strong nod. "Anything that attacks will have do deal with the two of us. You are safe." 

With that, she begins to lead further into the tunnel. As they get deeper, the tunnel starts getting narrower and narrower, though surprisingly this does little to deter Runa, who's wide and bulky frame does little to slow her down as she weaves through the sharp corners and squeezes through narrow spaces. Occasionally, she had to use her claws to chip away at the dirt and stone, but far less than one might expect. She also makes sure to check over her shoulder frequently to make sure Fellwing is still following, and ask if she's okay. Once assured, she keeps moving.

After walking for a good while with no signs of life, the pair suddenly hear a loud thud somewhere above them. Runa stops, and motions for Fellwing to stay where she is. She perks up her ears, at which there is another loud thud, this time a little ahead of them. Runa flinches a little, her body tensing. Despite her previous assurance to Fellwing, she seems quite nervous right now.

There is a long pause after Skobeloff's words, as if who's ever following the drakes hopes that if they don't make sound, their presence will be forgotten. After Stargaze acknowledges their presence, there is a small, defeat sigh as a familiar light green drake comes lumbering out from the bushes.
