Zoemi glanced back towards the faint light of the entrance and spoke to Alan without slowing down his advance through solid rock.
"How do you...? Wait, are Rhodes and Aaron talking about it right now? How good is your hearing?"
The younger man gasped, glancing back over his shoulder and shaking his head.
"Better than average."
"Even with ears full of debris?"
The black-haired man answered with a smirk and his words prompted an immediate snappy response.
"Getting anxious I see. Relax, man. Even if there will be a cave-in, I will protect you."
Zoemi chuckled and said in a soothing voice while waving his hand, breaking through the surrounding rocks as if they were seafoam to demonstrate his point.
"Don't even say that! I would very much prefer not to require being saved!"
