"How long are we here already?" Albus asked, already feeling bored from climbing down the stairs.
The man walking in front of him glanced at him over his shoulder, his face covered by the mask. Due to the lack of light, Albus could not see the man's eyes through the eye socket. It was dark. An endless void of darkness.
"Three hours, twenty-seven minutes, and eleven seconds," Newcomer replied.
Pulling his gaze away from the 'void', Albus looked into another void in the center of the spiral stairways.
"And strangely, I don't feel tired."
"It's fifteen seconds now."
Albus glanced at Newcomer, his eyes frowned.
"Not needed. But, thanks, I guess."
Shrugging his shoulder, followed by a smirk, Newcomer stared down at the void for a moment before looking at Albus again and said:
"Remember when I said you could just jump to reach the bottom?"
Albus raised his eyebrow, his mouth tightly closed.
