"How long were we in there?", Airi asked. "I'm not sure, it's hard to have a perception of time here.", I said as we walked down a winding trail. "Now where?", Airi asked as we walked down the road. "For now we find some place to rest. We need to see to your injuries.", I said as we came upon a lake. "We'll stop here for the time being.", I said as we sat our stuff down.
