Lydia was less surprised that Ragna had divulged information about himself and more surprised that he had apologized for his short-comings. That and he felt at ease around her. It definitely made his human side more prominent. Lydia hesitated for a moment, then gently pat Ragna's back. "I don't mind your rambling," she said honestly. "Say whatever you want. And if you feel more at ease then that's good." She chuckled a little bit and added, "I never thought I'd make a demon--full or half--feel at ease."

As they stepped into the cavern Lydia looked around in awe. It was beautiful and had a mysterious air to it. There almost seemed to be purposeful patterns in the lichen and moss. Lydia had begun wandering closer to the wall to further inspect the fungal growth when Ragna spoke again. She shrugged as she studied the cavern walls. "Who knows? It's a possibility. I would prefer not to come across them if that's the case. But as you wish we'll rest here." Then she turned back to Ragna and saw him scraping some of the fungus off the wall. At his question she shrugged again.

"You can try it if you want to," she told him as she started to wander over to the other side of the cavern. "If it makes you sick I can heal you." While Lydia only knew a few general spells she was really good at healing. It was almost funny. She was good at both fighting and killing, but also good at healing. There had been plenty of times when she had saved someone's life by using her healing magic. She could even purge a body of poison so long as the poison wasn't too fast acting. For Ragna's sake, however, she hoped that the fungi wasn't poisonous.
