"No, it's not," Derlik said in turn. "Not when it could get us hurt."

Nix huffed again, closing his eyes. "We shouldn't have to be worried about what we say all the time."

"Well, there's no way to change that," Derlik said. "Please, Nix, you have to be careful." The last incident of Mother deciding she didn't like what they were saying was still fresh on his mind, after all.

"I don't like it here…" Nix sighed shakily. "But Halm already claimed our souls and stuff, so we're not allowed to leave."

"I know, Nix… And I'm so sorry." Derlik gently kissed Nix's head again, rubbing his back.

Nix buried his face in Derlik's shoulder, shifting uncomfortably. "I've probably had a lot more bad experiences here than good…"

"I'm gonna try to change that," Derlik assured softly. He moved to sit down, rubbing Nic's back still.

"Mm…" Nix huddled up in Derlik's arms, trying to get more comfortable. "But we're stuck in Halm's house…"

"I know… but we'll make this work. I'll stay with you, no matter what." Derlik rested his head on Nix's, kissing his head.

"Okay…" Nix sighed shakily and curled his tail around himself. "It's still not going to be great, though… I don't really feel safe anywhere."

"I… I get that," Derlik said softly. "I hope that, at least… I can help you feel safe with me."

"Mm…" Nix didn't really reply, only sighing and huddling closer. He was growing tired of this conversation, and in general.

"Here, do you want to explore more?" Derlik wanted to distract Nix, from all of this heavy stuff. He deserved to be happy.

"Sure, I guess… what are we gonna find in a cave, though?" He asked softly, looking up from where he'd hidden his face.

"I m not sure," Derlik admitted. "I've never been able to get so far into these caves before."

"Why not? Are they dangerous?" Nix asked anxiously. "Should we leave?"

"No, no, it's not because they're dangerous," Derlik assured. "I'm usually just not allowed into the Underworld is all. There's no problem, Nix, I promise."

"O-Okay…" Nix clung tightly to Derlik, looking around warily. "What if we get lost in here?"

"I'll just teleport us out," Derlik said. He moved to kiss Nix's head gain, rubbing his back to try to calm him down.

"Okay…" Nix buried his face in Derlik's shoulder, still seeming pretty uneasy, but falling quiet anyway.

"We can leave, if you want to," Derlik said softly. "I don't want to worry you."

"I'm fine…" Nix insisted. "I'm just being stupid and paranoid again…"

"Hey." Derlik moved to gently cup Nix's cheeks, looking down at him.
"You're not being stupid, Nix."

"I am being stupid… it's just a cave and I'm nervous for no reason."

"You're not being nervous for no reason," Derlik assured.
