HARPER
Harper expects a lot once he jumps into the hole and goes walking in like an idiot. Monsters, squatters, maybe just some good old fashioned mold and musty smells. A young voice yelling at him from the entrance and echoing all up and down the cavern, scaring the living shits out of him, is not one of them. And while he will never admit to shrieking in surprise, Libbs will probably be the one to tell the truth there.
Still it at least makes him backtrack, the glare of the sun through the entrance leaving the girl a mere featureless shadow as he approaches. "Hello yourself!" he calls out as he closes the distance, wondering if she's going to come in or try to lure him out. He certainly doesn't want to re-burn his retinas, and he's feeling particularly playful already.
