"Alright..." Connersays, before heading down the path that led to the kitchen.
Neil led the way until they reached the main hall, which was brighter due to lights they had set up from a cable underground. "Here is the main room."

Jazlyn nodded turning her gaze around the larger room. She looked at the made lights then at the rock walls. She scuffed her foot on the ground "Could you maybe just tell me directions where everywhere is? I can try finding my own way...but If you'd like o continue the tour, it's conpletly up to you." she dipped her head respectfully.

.:Austin:. Austin followed Conner into the kitchen, still having a war with himself in his thoughts. He set his crate down on one of the counters, adjusting it slightly so that it couldn't be knocked off by simply brushing against it. The seventeen-year-old turned to look at the older boy. "Do you want me to go back and get another one?"

"No," Conner said as he se his down with a slight grunt, for his had been a bit fuller. "I think we are good now. Thank you."

Neil sighed and looked at Jazlyn, but he smiled a bit. "The sleeping quarters are that way, kitchen is that way. Down that hall and a left turn is the recreational room. That hall and to the right and then left is the bathroom and hot spring. That way and several different turns is the back entrance and dont go down that hall, its dangerous."

.:Austin:. "Welcome." Austin left the kitchen, heading towards the sleeping quarters to wake up Nova. He crept to her cot silently, stooping down to her level before saying, "Wake up, Sunshine. There's a new member to our group."

~Nova~ Nova's eyelids fluttered open, and she was surprised to see Austin's face just inches from her own. She threw her pillow at him in mock anger, saying, "You know better than to wake me up this early. Wait- did you say that we had a new member?"

Jazlyn nodded as she looked at each direction he directed at. "Im actually going to go freshen up....thank you for all the help." she said after a long pause. She stepped into the tunnel after a bit she took the left then the right turn. Ad she reached the hotsprings she took her hoodie off and rubbed the water along her arms. With a tiny sigh she stood up A bit sore.

.:Austin:. Austin chuckled a bit at Nova's reaction, rubbing his face where she had hit him with the pillow. "Yes, I did. And what do you keep in that pillow of yours? Bricks?" Austin took Nova's hand and helped her stand up. "Let's see if we can find her."

~Nova~ Nova gladly accepted Austin's help, chuckling as she stood. "As a matter of fact, I do. And our new member's another girl? How exciting!" Nova led Austin into the bathing room; she had a hunch that the newcomer would want to freshen up after being introduced to her new home.

Jazlyn looked up from rubbing the back of her neck to try and stop the stiffness as she heard the two come in. She looked behind her and saw Austin and a girl she didn't know. "I was just going..." she said a bit too flat and sighed with regret. She picked up her hoodie with a wince at the movement on her neck.

~Nova~ "Oh, no! It's fine. We were just looking for you; Austin told me that we had a new member, and I wanted to meet you." Nova extended her hand to Jazlyn. "By the way, I'm November, but everyone calls me Nova, it's nice to meet you." Nova's face broke out into a genuine smile as she waited for the older girl to shake her hand.

.:Austin:. Austin followed Nova into the bathing room to look for Jazlyn. When he saw her, the blonde's face turned a shade of scarlet. At least Nova can't tell, but I wonder if Jazlyn can. At the thought of Jazlyn noticing his blush, Austin's face grew even hotter. He noticed the older girl wince as she put her hoodie back on, and couldn't help but wonder why.
