Rain shook her head, perhaps she had jumped to conclusions. "Maybe..But still..Theres something about him that I just don't like." Rain said softly, her gaze not leaving Loki.

Loki deactivated his blade, but his eyes remained fixed on Rain, nor did his hand leave the hilt. the humming gradually died off into a murmur, then silence. "I don't know how i got here, or why i am here." he said, his voice soft, but distinct. "But that is besides the point, we are here now, and drawing blood will do nothing but leave a corpse to rot in this place. I've seen my share of death, and i would rather not experience it quite yet, or cause it again." he made a slight nod of his head toward Damon, an attempt to acknowledge the help. Loki took in another deep breath, and then let it out before he began his inquiry: "Mi Lady," he asked, "what is that you do not like?"

Damon began to laugh, though not loud. But, given their surroundings, his subtle, sinister laugh echoed all around. "Strangers are just friends waiting to happen," he said sarcastically to Rain. "Either that or rape in a dark alley waiting to happen. I suppose you'll never know until you try and find out." He laughed a bit louder before letting it die down. He, too, was a bit curious as to why Rain was so uneasy, but in his opinion it was due to her lack of control.

Rain sighed, "You're too cheerful, and you seem much too trusting..There are some other things too, but I can't quiet place them.." she frowned, sheating her claymore.

"I ask how being too trusting is a problem? if i find my trust miss placed, than it is my fault, not yours, is my trust miss placed? And I've seen my share of death, unless I'm in war, i will not resign myself to death. That is why i am "cheerful" but i think the better term would be optimistic." Loki said, then he released his grip on his blade. "if you have a problem, i am more than willing to assist both you." He extended his now empty hand to Rain. His gaze was nether spiteful, nor hopeful. It was simply resolute and confident. rapists get shot. Loki mused silently.

Rain shruged, "I suppose I have no control over how trusting or ch-..Optomistic.. You are, so I guess I'll have to learn to live with it." Rain said simply. Memories of herself flashed before her eyes. Now, she knew, to be careful whom she trusted. Rain slowly took Loki's extended hand and stood, then leaned against the cave wall sending a glance toward Damon. Needless to say, Rain's face was red from embarassment, partially for being so quick to hate Loki, and yet, there was another reason. A secret reason.

Damon sat down Indian-style, looking down into his lap and closing his eyes. "How long do you two plan to stay, exactly?" he asked after a moment of silence. "I wasn't exactly picking posies down here, you know. There's water down there. A lot of water. I want to go past it, but magic won't work in these caves, so I've been looking for an alternative." He waited a moment before looking up, heaving a sigh as he said something he had assumed would have been implied. "And ideas?"

Loki Released Rain's arm and looked at Damon for a second. "I assume no air pockets and far to long to hold our breath right?" Loki unsheathed his sword and presented it upward with both hands "I can fire a beam..but that is rather in-effective, what might work is striking the water it self...the energy from the burst might evaporate a great deal, as its a high energy particle beam" He shrugged, not sure of the conversion ratio, but confident that it would boil way a great deal of water, now the only question was how much water there was.

Rain frowned looking at Loki, "But wouldn't the power of your sword be disabled? If not, then it is certainly worth a try..." Rain paused, "If that doesn't work I vote we go buy scooba tanks." she added with a slight smile.

"I don't know, it's worth a shot I suppose. There's a lot of water, though, and I didn't bring any backup AA batteries, so you'd better be able to do it in one go." He got to his feet and turned, walking deeper into the cave without another word.

Rain leaned away from the wall and began walking too, though she followed Damon since she had never been very far within the cave.

Loki followed Damon as he explained to Rain "Its Technology, physics to be precises, there is a radioactive element in my hilt, it produces heat as well as particles. the energy cells in the hand guard and an eighth of the way up the blade also help to charge the coils in preparation to actually launch the particles at almost light speed. When i impact the water, the particles are immediately transfer their energy into the water, thus it begins to heat up to boiling and then goes away." then it hit him, "i need to put the blade as deep into the water as i can...otherwise..i will be waisting energy." "well, if you can provide me with a powerful enough light source" He said to Damon, "i might be able to coax one more use out of it after words...its the coil alignment that goes first...it was a dueling sword, after its used once...the coils go screwy."

"I could, if I could use my magic," he said. "All of my jutsu - useless here! Someday I'll find a way to fix that." He took out a flashlight and flicked it on, shining it down to a narrow natural bridge that crossed a chasm too deep for one to see the bottom. "Watch your footing," he warned, though he proceeded as if he were perfectly safe. "Of course, if I could use my magic, it would be pointless to go through all that, then use them to recharge your toy. I'd simply make a tunnel in the water. And I probably wouldn't be bringing the two of you with me." Berstunic let out a soft hiss, catching up and landing on Damon's shoulder. The two of them couldn't communicate in here due to lack of telepathic abilities, but they still managed to keep similar thoughts in mind. "The water gets deeper from this point on," he warned.

Rain nodded, but then stopped. "I..I should go.." she stammered, then turned and darted off toward the entrance of the cave.

Loki watched rain vanish into the darkness, it didn't take much longer for the sound of her foot steps to vanish as well. He looked at Damon for a second, and then back into the blackness. Is she? he asked himself, then shook his head doubt it. There was something else. He forced his mind back to the situation at hand"does the water just get gradually deeper as the ground sloops down, or is there a drop off, where we have to swim underwater to get around?" he was curious, if the former, then it would be a hard challenge to boil away the water without scalding Damon, and his face, in the process, if the later, then things were much simpler. Loki followed Damon rather blankly, his mind musing on ways to extricate them from the water when it became a problem.
