Salim Naghi
Salim didn't give two shits about what June wanted to do. He didn't appreciate the way she told him not to go in there without her. Oh, yeah, going in without someone who basically admitted that they're practically useless. What a loss. Regardless, he did what she asked just in case. Just as he thought before, she might have some special tricks up her sleeve that he wouldn't see coming. After all, she considered going into a dungeon stupid and reckless, so why would someone like her be so willing to dive on in without a second thought? There had to be a bigger reason that she wasn't telling him, so he'd wait around until she admitted it.
Normally, he wouldn't allow someone who seemed so weak to just go ahead and risk their lives like this. He didn't really give any thoughts about his own life because he believed in himself and his confidence gave him the courage to push forward for the sake of adventure. He was allowed to be nervous as long as it didn't lead a path to hesitation, which it rarely ever did. Letting her go in with him almost seemed like more of a pain. If it turned out that she was actually as useless as she seemed and she actually just had some sort of suicidal intentions, then it was just going to be a hindrance on him trying to risk his neck to save her the entire time. It was going to be hard enough looking out for himself. He didn't need anyone holding him back.
He got what he thought he would need and packed them in a bag he carried with him. It was attached by a small rope around his waist that acted a bit like a belt, and all his necessities were stored in there. It was just a bunch of filling food and water and a few other supplies. He got a bit extra just in case June didn't get enough for herself or in case something happened despite grumbling to himself over bothering at all.
He waited for her. He gave her three hours. If she didn't show up, he was going to assume that she'd chickened out and go in without her despite the warning she gave him before they parted ways. He didn't know why they had to do things separately, but she seemed like she had something bothering her so he wasn't going to say anything. If she was familiar with this place, then maybe she had some connection with the fallen Magi Tree. It wouldn't be surprising to him if that was the case. Lots of people far and wide came to honor it and learn from its wisdom. He'd never had the chance to see it in person himself, but he'd been told about it and all the rest of the Magi. It was a little disheartening to know it could be killed.
After he felt like three hours were up, Salim stood from where he was waiting and looked around. He saw her in the distance and met her halfway, stepping behind her and rushing her forward. "Come on, we're killing more daylight than I wanted to. It's up ahead and I'm not waiting around for you anymore." He made sure they weren't being followed before walking after her. "You didn't chicken out right? I'm not your savior. I got everything I needed and I'm looking out for me in there, not you." He stopped when they reached the entrance of the dungeon and took a deep breath, letting it out with a smile. "In order of best-looking, I'll go first." He gave her a wink before stepping inside without a moment's hesitation.
