Ren hated everything about this situation. He hated the woman at the desk and her smug mannerisms, he hated their guide and his pathetic greed. He wanted to burn the place down on the spot, and to storm the tunnel only as an afterthought. He kept his seething rage under wraps, however, coming off as only mildly annoyed, which was his norm anyhow. He made a mental note to kill that woman on the way out, no matter how the mission went.
They descended through the trapdoor and into the ground, Noland leading the way—and Ren would have it no other way, as there was no chance that the three would let such a rat of a man be at their backs. Ren made sure to go last, however, to cover the rest of the team, including the ninetails that he had been so quick to defend. The passage was restricted and insignificant, lit with dingy electric bulbs that cast a weak light that Ren did his best to make the most of. He remained silent for this part of the trip, as he made sure to keep his senses sharp for any sign of ambush, though, he had to admit that the tight tunnel would make it somewhat difficult for him to use the most of his firepower. In closed quarters like these, he had only two that would be able fight properly, though he figured his best bet would be to call Layla. In an area this tight, the Altaria's voice would be deadly.
Ren noticed that ahead of them, Lerraine's step faltered. It was only for a split second, but she clenched a fist, and moments later her gait grew somewhat rigid. Ren's own movements became slightly less relaxed in turn, as he tried to guess the source of the psychic's distress. Perhaps the Gambits were involved in brutal activities, such as selling slowpoke tails, or, he supposed, ninetails tails. He would enjoy destroying this place and the garbage in it.
Ren had to snap himself from the momentary fantasy as Lerraine gave a small hand signal and a glance, and would have missed the tiny creatures sneaking away if not for that. Now was not the time to be daydreaming about delivering justice. Now was the time to keep his mind on the mission.
"How much further is it, anyways?" With any luck any chance of the duo being spotted would be destroyed by Ren acting the part of the spoiled rich kid. Of course he was spoiled, rich, and pretty young, but that was beside the point.
