Jasper's footfalls sounded in the dim cavern. The light just enough that Nec wouldn't lose site of her as he chased. She was just fast enough to keep Nec out of arm's reach, but never fast enough to outrun him.
At least till she turned a corner and disappeared from his sight.
Following around that corner, Nec would see a dead end. It lead no where and Jasper was backed up against the rock. Any thoughts that this might have been an accident or a misstep was quickly wiped by just one look at her face. That smile was not one that hinted she hadn't planned this from the start. She had lured him to this dead end on purpose, hand behind her back and head would tilt up at him if he got closer. "Oh woe is me!" Her voice would be clear and she could barley keep the laughter from it. She obviously wasn't in any danger at all and she knew it. "You seem to have caught up to me. Whatever am I do now, Rocky?" Her hand would raise to rest over her heart.
If the tone wasn't enough to give away the act, the look on her face would be. She just couldn't stop smiling.
"Surprised you came after me." She dropped her hand to her side, leaning back against the wall. "Didn't thinking not knowing would bother you this much. Can't really miss what you don't know is even missing. Or can you Rocky? Did you know something was missing and has it been driving you crazy every since?" A laugh followed that statement, but it wasn't a kind one. "And leaving your date behind to pursue the hint of that knowledge too! Don't you know this tunnel isn't exactly safe for people on their own?" As if on cue, growls sounded behind Nec, but faintly. As if they had a long way to go before reaching his ears. Back in the direction he had left Elz. "I'm surprised once more that you did so. As protective as you were...But then again, you were also always full of surprises."
Both hands came up and started to be a balance act. "I have the knowledge you want." A hand went up. "The Tunnel wants to take what you already have." The first hand went down as the other hand went up. The grin spread upon her lips, taking on a malicious air. "What are you gonna chose Necthan? Your past or your future."
