Maz stopped in her tracks.

'Dude, you, uh, hear that?'

Yocherry's walking had slowed down to a gentle padding. In the darkness, his glowing head-fungus was like a distant, fog-choked lamppost.

'Yeah, boss.'

'Um. Yeah.' Maz glanced left to right. 'So, uh.'

'It was a crack, boss,' Yocherry said, grinning at her. 'Gonna stop for every random noise, are we?'

'Well-'

'Whoa!' Yocherry exclaimed, freezing in his tracks. He turned around, further grinning at Maz. 'A footstep!'

'Shut up, dude.' She muttered bitterly, sending Yocherry into a giggling fit. 'But, um, dude. What cracked?'

Yocherry shrugged, stopping to let Maz catch up. 'Something broke, I expect.'

'Thanks, dude,' Maz said in a voice dry enough to host tumbleweeds and cacti.
