Luckily, the first cavern that illuminates doesn’t harbor any of those beasts. Instead, a few rOUS scamper about, disappearing into offshoots of the clearing the second they make their presence known. It’s what has Asta standing still for a moment, waiting for them to vanish, when Maea runs into his back. He moves, then, stepping aside in the cavern to scan the veins of magma that brighten the space, before he looks back to her with a sharp grin. “It’s alright.” He offers with a soft rumble.
As for what he’s been up to lately? Well. Not much, really. “Mm, well, some awful people I threw out of the Dusklight returned and attempted to freeze me into stone. Thankfully I survived the encounter.” And while the rest of them had returned from whence they came, the ringleader that had been jailed had… Gone missing. Chalked up to a jailbreak where he would not be returning to. “My shoulder is perfectly fine now, though. Thank you for the concern.” He dips his head toward her, before he scans the caverns and picks the one on the righthand side to follow.
“How have you been? I heard about what occurred during the conference.” He figures it was better than to beat around the bush about it.
