[That's Empress Akagi-sama to you, sir! Hmph, but she'll let your slipup go just this once...]

That's alright, it's incredibly dark in some areas.

[She becomes much more visible soon enough. There's a series of fireballs sticking to the wall next to her, a trail of breadcrumbs to help her know where she had been previously while also lighting a clear path to an exit.

It would make things much easier in case she came across anyone in the tunnels. No need to escort them back personally when they can simply follow the trail and signs that Akagi had left! It certainly helps that one of the few dangers in the tunnel is simply environmental.

Or other people.]

But yes, I got a little tired of sitting around and not doing anything. I figured it would be a good way to explore and keep myself busy.

[And recoup any losses she might have had over the New Years.]

I'm guessing that you're doing the same.
