[ Uh.. Is that a good laugh or a bad laugh? Lottie actively wonders about this even as he agrees to follow her. And then there's that twitch of his hand and she thinks eesh, tough crowd. First he wants to go, now he wants to go but with a little more resigned zest. Is he really that bothered he couldn't go somewhere by himself?
(No, Lottie, it's everything else about this situation, actually, that is probably bothering him.) ]
Cool. Alright.
[ She's one second shy of saying awesome before she reels herself in and turns to get the trek started. They pass both their poor, third wheeling, recently wakened friend and the dog-wolf in the corner (said dog-wolf stares intently at Marc, then at Lottie β who is.. 'Discretely' pointing at the ground, evidently saying: stay).
Luckily for them, everyone else buried in the ground is still asleep β no fingers creeping up to the surface, or mounds of dirt shifting to and fro. Weaving past them becomes easier that way, especially when they become few and far between the further they get from the tree, itself. It's after they pass an open hole, probably left over from the last time fresh faces arrived, that she turns to him. ]

So.. Marc, what were you doing before this?
