[the tall hunter and the giant mess he made are left behind. Robin meant to let go of Tek's hand as soon as they were both heading in the same direction--but immediately finds himself making excuses to not. Tek himself doesn't seem to mind it, so why not? of all the things that could get him in trouble around here, holding hands with a beautiful man is not one of them.
holding hands with a beautiful mystery man, however... he stays quiet for a little while, formulating a plot while he knows he's got the time. Tek is led down a side alley, into a tunnel, and right up to a flight of stairs that leads up until the steps are swallowed in complete darkness.
Robin finally takes his hand back, but it's just so that he can reach into his shirt and pull out a now-familiar tube of color. his is much smaller than the ones Tek has seen so far, more artfully made and capped with a stylized piece of metal. it glows red, and it glows brightly. as Robin holds it up, small striations in the rock walls around them seem to glow with a surreal, ambient light in response to its presence. it makes the staircase before them much easier to see.]
So... [he smiles, taking Tek's hand again.] How long were you wandering around down there before I found you?
[up the stairs they go. there's just room enough for two.]
