[ It's. Is that what Steve takes away from his explanation? Geralt looks up at him, a little amused despite their current...shit predicament. Supposes it could be worse.
He reaches out to stop Steve from moving too quickly as the footsteps and voices grow nearer. They sound like...a child. Multiple children. Not dangerous, in theory, but it's impossible to tell in a place of this sort. He squints into the vast depths of the tunnel, stepping over a squelch of vines. What is this? More memories?
Must be, when Steve says Dustin, as though he recognizes the voice.
Geralt, too, is peering upwards for the opening Steve claims would be there. At least, until he hears the hollowness that indicates the ground is changing structure. And sure enough, when he glances down, the opening is...beneath them. The one that Steve had said would be above.
Of course. Nothing's ever simple.
He moves around to crouch over the hole. Tries to ignore the ghosts of children running through. He's not sure, in this moment, he wants to know what they mean to Steve or what happened to them down here. The worst feels too possible. ]
