You're so cold
but you feel alive
Maea's sense of adventure was all but gone. The captured ursurs evoked no sense of pity in her, and the figures only made dread rise within. Jigano's suggestion of leaving was accepted with a deeply grateful nod, all the more so because of Evie's hand still rested in hers. Even if she would be willing to brave danger herself, dragging her friends into undue battles for unknown gain did not appeal.
Better then to come back some other time, better prepared and ready to actually face formidable dangers. If they'd known this place was inhabited... but it was no point regretting that now.
Letting Hotaru take the lead, Maea followed as second to last, keeping her eyes on Evies back and secure with Jigano's competent support to lean back on. The shadows his lantern cast bounded in grotesque disfigurement about the walls as they begun to head back along the same path they'd come, and made her shudder. What if they were discovered before they could get out? Would the bridge really hold for another crossing?

Maea agrees to head back and takes the spot second to last in the line. She worries about crossing the bridge on the way back.
