"No problem. But, to be honest," she jerks her thumb at the manhole cover, "you're probably more familiar to me now than anything out there." She picks her rifle up, splits it down the middle, and securely attaches half of it to her back, the other half now what appears to be a hook with a handle. "And if you weren't friendly, I do t think we'd still be talking, you know?"

Up until that point, the noises echoing throughout the sewers had been... fairly basic, at least by Dimensional Island standards. The flow of water, the groans of rusted pipes... even the distant growls of the various monstrous inhabitants were nothing unusual.
But the closer they listened, the more they noticed one sound in particular, one that stood out as somewhat odd. Its source was quite a ways away, but it resonated off the cavernous walls like the strangest harmony. It almost sounded like... whale song... mixed with the soft cries of a child.

Wax looked down. "...What in the world is that sound...?" he asked, looking along.

"...I honestly don't know..." Sky looks up at him, frowning softly. "...but I feel that we need to check it out."

As the two proceeded to investigate, following the source of the gentle cries, they soon discovered a light around a corner. A faint one, yes, but it was unmistakably a source of light not provided by the sewer's network of lamps. Clearly someone else was down here...

Wax's own flame flickered a bit at this. "Huh... Wonder what's causing all of that...?" he asked. "Though, it's not so bad, having an extra light or two helps when it's so dim in here."

"Yeah, I guess that's true." The horse girl chuckles quietly. "So... how are we going to do this? Just walk around the corner or see who-slash-what it is, first?"

If either of them happened to peak around the corner, they would see that the source of the light was crouched behind a barrel, the light itself growing brighter and dimmer with each soft, gentle wail. The being behind that barrel likely hadn't noticed them yet.

"Whoa," the waxy man gasped. "That'she a pretty bright light..." What he failed to notice, however, were small bubbles forming in the water near himself and the faunus.

Luckily for them, Sky does. Eyes wide, she grabs him by the arm and tugs him around the corner and into the light, hoping that it would help them see what's coming.

"✘♏❂☠¿¡"
However, as soon as the two stepped into the light, the light itself retreated into the barrel, effectively dimming the area and plunging it back into relative silence.

Well, outside the fire from Wax, anyway. "What in the world was that sound?!" he groaned, squinting and shaking his head.

"It was probably whoever was making noise over here." She quickly turns around, eyes narrowing and an ear twitching as she raises her weapon. "I think we should worry more about what else is down here."

The creature in the barrel went silent, only emitting the faintest glow. Seemed it wasn't keen to be social, let alone aggressive.

The black candle nodded. "I hear you on that one... Let's-"
*BRZZT!*
He stopped, raising his head. "Did you hear something else?" he asked. The faint buzz of a broken electronic hovered through the air.
