Nolan followed Clementine down, down, down below. Through the Earth and through the Veil. She was quiet as they went, eyes narrowed, jaw clenched. She didn’t want to do this, didn’t want to go to this place.

Good.

Nolan didn’t know how far his ability to annoy her would carry him but annoying her was far too satisfying to stop.

As if privy to his thoughts, which she likely was, he couldn’t speak and there was no reason to assume she could only hear the thought he projected, she sighed, “keep your eyes peeled. IT would be best if we could find him without having to talk to anyone.”

Nolan nodded, though he was staring at her back he knew she knew he had done so.

Nolan kept his eyes open as they went down and down and down but didn’t see any sign of Christian at all.
