Zyra shrugged. "I'm not sure, why don't you tell me." she said with a smirk. She noticed his hoarse voice, but decided to not worry about it. He probably was thinking about something that hurt him awhile back. It was best not to bring it up, Zyra knew that much.

L shook his head, becoming focused once more. He went to put his hand in his pocket and his arm brushed gently up against Zyra. He thought nothing of it, or at least he pretended to, and just shoved his hands in his pockets. "Well, where were you headed before?" He asked, "When you decided to leave me?"

"I never left." Zyra said under her breath, but turned her silvery eyes up to his face. "I hadn't actually decided. Some place new though." she said with a contemplative sigh. "This part of Twilight gets so boring after awhile, you know? I need to explore the other half!"

L looked at Zyra as he felt her eyes on him, biting his lip almost nervously. "Im tired of leading," He said, the hair falling over his face in that sly way of his, "Ill follow you for a change."

Zyra shrugged. "Fine with me." she replied before adding, "Can we take the normal way, or do we have to take shadows?" she asked. She was okay with either since she had no designated path, but it was still appropriate to ask.

L looked up at the sky with dred, but shrugged. He would do it for her. "Normal I suppose," He said, stepping gingerly out into the light. His hair stood on end slightly as the light danced on his pale skin and got in his eyes, but he merely cringed and followed after Zyra.

Zyra sighed as she saw his reaction and lunged into the shadows, remembering to stay calm. "You with me?" Zyra asked as she continued to dart from shadow to shadow quickly, staying in each shadow for a brief moment. She finally halted as she waited to see if L was behind her.

L shuddered slightly and followed after on swift feet, keeping up with her easily. "Im with you," He said, one hand hanging limply at his side as he stopped with her. His hair was still standing on end, but he said nothing more.

"Are you okay?" Zyra asked worriedly. "I went into the shadows because I could tell you were uneasy, and now you look not very well." she said, the words of explanation gushing out of her mouth in an instant.

L was still feeling a bit uncomfortable, but nodded his head anyways. "Im fine," He said softly, "The light just gets to me sometimes, especially when I stay away from it for so long." He frowned slightly, wondering why he was talking so much. Well, for him it was alot.

Zyra nodded. "I understand." She thought for a moment before setting her silvery gaze back on him. "Are you okay to keep going, or do you want to rest?"

L tensed slightly, annoyed that he had looked so weak. "I am completely fine," He assured her, back to normal once more. He wave his hand and ducked his head slighty as if to say to continue.

Zyra nodded and she lunged once more from shadow to shadow. "You know," Zyra started turning her head back around to look at L while she darted back and forth between shadows, "this shadow thing isn't so haaaaaaa-" she screamed. Darkness enveloped her and she was falling. Falling, falling, falling downward. Her shrill scream stopped as she hit the ground hard, all of the air completely whipped out of her lungs in a millisecond. "L!" she rasped, her eyes watering slightly. I won't cry. I can't cry. she thought to herself, sucking in her tears. She tried to get back up but her lungs protested. Zyra lay on the ground, motionlessly as she caught her breath.

L dashed over to her as fast as he could go, his eyes opening wide as she called his name. He crouched beside her, on his knees for once, and loomed over her. "Zyra!" he exclaimed, pushing her hair behind her ears and holding her head inbetween his hands. "Are you okay?" He noticed her teary eyes, wondering if she was hurt. "Are you hurt?" His eyes opened in worry, wondering what had exactly happened.

Zyra lay still for a moment longer. It took a minute or two to catch her breath, but when she did she winced. "Ow!" she cursed under her breath, trying to sit up. Her attempt failed and she struck the ground harshly, her ribs protesting in white pain. "I... can't..." she rasped out, her breathing verging on hyperventilating as it felt like something was lodged somewhere in her rib cage, making her breathing way harder than necessary. "...breath... hurts..." she finished. Zyra stared up at L, a deep pain somewhere inside her, only this one emotional and mental at the fact L had to see her like this. Why had she missed the hole? Why had she been with L when she had fallen down the ten-foot shaft?
