“Nothing,” he said. “No sound. A few minutes ago there was the sound of running water. Now, nothing.0

"Running water?" She frowned, looking around. "Wait, where did you hear it coming from?"
“Everywhere.”
"That's not helpful." She grumbled, using the wall for support whenever she stumbled as she continued down the hall. "Why is there water? What's it doing? Where's it coming from? Why the hell are we even down here?"
“How am I supposed to know?” He places a hand on the wall.
She blinked, looking back at him. "Huh? Oh-uh, sorry. I-must've been muttering out loud. Any input is appreciated though."
“Seems as though it was almost as if it was from the walls,” he said.
"The main reason there would be water in the wall, is if we're in some sort of underground facility." She murmured, brows furrowing.
“Or ruins…”
"Ruins. Ruins are easy. I can do ruins." She muttered, managing to walk without using the wall.
Aquarius closed his eyes, fighting back sudden exhaustion.
Kesari looked over at him, frowning as she stepped closer and lifted his arm to drape it over her shoulders. "Here. You alright?"
“Fine,” he said. “Just tired.” He tried hard not to glance at her weirdly. Since when did she care about him?
"I'll get you out of here, and then you can sleep." She promised, her face hardening with determination.
“Fine by me,” he said, smothering a yawn. He stood up, brushing his hair from his face.
She wrapped her arm around his back best she could to offer support, as they once again started off down the hall. She activated her magic just enough to sense blood in the vicinity, using it as a sort of lookout.
Aquarius knew that he should be the one to help her, but he was too tired. He had gotten tired very quickly, he thought. Almost as if he had been charmed by the Markan Waters… his eyes widened. “I think I know where we are!”
"Oh, thank god. 'Cause I'm about to scream." Kesari muttered, looking up at him. "Where?"
“Italy,” he said, fighting off the sleepiness. “There’s an enchanted fountain called Markan, and it protects an underground ruin.”
"Italy? How the fuck-" She shook her head a few times. "Nevermind. So the fountain makes you tired? Is there any way to combat that?"
“Not really,” Aquarius said. “I’m a siren. It affects me.”
Kesari groaned, shaking her head. "When I figure out who the hell is behind all this.."
“You’ll kill them?”? He said with a laugh. “I want to watch if you do.”
"You might change your mind about that." She said, her face darkening for a moment. "But let's focus on getting out."
Aquarius shrugged. “Lead the way.”
