The first floor's ecosystem was far beyond what Nix expected.  As soon as he entered through the tunnel that led to a bright facade the Pleasant smell of the flowers entered through his nostrils. The Terrain was filled with exotic flowers and shrubs. Beasts were roaming without care and the space was so extravagant that he couldn't help but assume the place as a forest rather than a floor of the Labyrinth.

Both Jerina and Ferdinand were far behind him in distance. They both did not possess the same stamina level that Nix had. More than anything they were not talking to each other and a foul mood between them. 

Though Jerina tried to talk it out Ferdinand did not utter a word. He might not be strong for a man. Still, he was a man by heart and body. His pride as a man was hurt and moreover, he couldn't open up to her as she was the one who acted masculine in that relationship.
