Amara looked at Orion. "None of us had eaten before coming in. I guess it was a sign of good luck according to them" she replied.

Amara gave a small sigh. "The world up there might think I'm dead. The town knew of how dangerous this place was for them, yet Zane and his little gang thought it was safe and they exaggerated." Giving a shake to her head she added on. "Like I said, I wouldn't have had anywhere to go anyway if I did leave."

Orion nodded at everything that she had said. "Very well. I will show you to where you will be staying." But before he could bring her to where she would sleep, Sokoya came back with a basket, covered by a loosely fitting lid. Orion looked inside of the basket before nodding to her and whispering a few more words to her and she left. "Follow me." He began to walk, leaving the main room and started to head back towards where he slept, however instead of taking a left, he hooked a right and stepped inside of a room. It didn't have much, save for a bed, a crude table and mirror, and a stand for armor. "I know it's not much, but if you earn your keep I'll see to it that you get some more amenities installed into your room." He pointed to the basket which, unbeknownst to her, had some food and a few amenities for her as a little welcome gift.

Orion had to stop and think about that. He already told her that she wouldn't be welcome to the human world, and yet she asked him if she could go outside. He let the lizardmen go out to hunt and collect resources from around the immediate area, albiet they were ordered back inside the dungeon if any humans found them while they were outside, but having Amara outside would be something completely different. He took in a deep breath, making sure he wanted to say the right words before he responded to a question like that. "For right now, no. But, I'm sure that you will be able to head to the surface, as long as you are fine having others beside you to make sure that you don't get into any major trouble." This was another one of his lies. He really didn't want her to escape from the dungeon on one of the expeditions, so hopefully being in a group discouraged that. "You are welcome. Do you have any other questions?"

"Very well. I'll give you some time to get settled in before I come back." And with that, Orion retired to his room for a bit, with Sokoya standing in front of the door on guard. After he shut the door, he took off his mask before sitting down on the chair and looked himself in front of the mirror, seeing his face, however his mind was a mess. Why did I spare her? Because I felt sorry for her because her father couldn't pull through and she was sold to a group of idiots? I must be getting soft somehow. He looked at his mask, and all of the little details he put in to make it more intimidating and scary for those who have yet to see it. Maybe I shouldn't have left her alive, but... there was that tiny voice in the back of his head telling him that keeping her alive could be beneficial to him in the long haul, and he was listening to it... for now at least. She needs to prove herself not only to me, but to everyone else down here. If she doesn't then the other monsters may think I am going soft and eat me alive.
