"Better than average."

"Even with ears full of debris?"

The black-haired man answered with a smirk and his words prompted an immediate snappy response.

"Getting anxious I see. Relax, man. Even if there will be a cave-in, I will protect you."

Zoemi chuckled and said in a soothing voice while waving his hand, breaking through the surrounding rocks as if they were seafoam to demonstrate his point.

"Don't even say that! I would very much prefer not to require being saved!"
