Of course, precautionary measures are always a must.
Besides, from what I do know of the area, caves are abundant with a surprising amount of resources. May just find a fresher water source or some minerals that will make us all the richer.
[And with that he turned around, already seeming to take initiative as he started walking deeper into the caves.]
You got some torches on you by chance? We're going to need them.
[Because what uncultured heathen doesn't grab a a bag of survival gear including basic lighting aid when launching off into an expedition? The fact that he has to waste his own supplies for this though...]
Here. Catch.
[Unzipping his bag he unhooked a stick that was latched onto the bottom, tossing it casually over Ocelot.]
Lights going to be scarce the deeper we explore and I'd rather not fall down any sudden unexpected drops.
[ oh Sanzo. a smile plays at the edges of his mouth as he smirks ever so slightly, catching the stick. ]
What, scared of the dark?
[ ocelots, after all, are nocturnal creatures. well that, and he's used to missions with no more light than a tiny lighter. or at least directing them. ]
You just need to get a feel for it.
[ ocelots are also fantastic at landing on their feet. ]
Oh whoops this got lost in my inbox! So sorry for the late reply!
[Oh boy. He's going to have to deal with this through their entire exploration isn't he?]
I'm much rather not feel myself fall down a sudden underground cliff-side should we come upon one.
[And with that he unhooked yet another torch from his bag, the prepared little survivalist he was. Reaching into the mysteriously deep pockets of his robes he then pulled out his lighter and began to catch the stick aflame.]
Last thing we need to do is get our asses lost in this place when we have a group of refugees we should be looking after just outside.
[Now with a fully lit torch does he walk up to Ocelot, passing his lighter off to him.]
Use it. And give it back immediately after you're done.
[ oh, probably. though he might've had a bit more of a temper in his youth, he can't help it that his default mood now seems to be "perpetually smug". Ocelot shrugs, quickly taking it. ]
You know, some people are able to get by just by the light of a cigar alone.
[ it's a completely legitimate gameplay mechanic in Metal Gear Solid 3. ]
And some people like to use what resources they can when they have them in hopes that it would make their life a little more efficient.
But if you want to do this like a fucking caveman be my guest.
[Oh. Sassy.
Sanzo None the less he seems content when Ocelot takes the torch. Moving on ahead with a bit of a swagger in his step as he gazed around the cave with interest.]
Although as much as I may be fretting over falling, it seems this area is man-made.
[At least for now it certainly is.]
They probably used this for dragon worship or something of the sort a few hundred years ago. Bet we'll find more corpses of sacrifices or something the further we go in.

[ again, no strange, unexpected rain. everything seems completely ghost-free. a smirk passes over his lips. ]
But, we might as well see how deep the caves go. Who knows what could be hiding in them.

Just a lighter, unfortunately.
[ still, you'd be surprised with the amount of light you can get from those things.
all the better to keep certain lurking creatures away from them. ]

Fine. I guess we'll use mine.
