When he sat up Avalanche nudged him gently and whined softly as she often did when she was worried. Thad had begun to understand her little nuances during their time together.
Patting Avalanche’s head reassuringly Thad got to his feet. Resigning himself to another day of sitting idly Thad decided to explore the tunnels surrounding the small cavern. He knew it wasn’t the ideal solution to the unexpected delay but it would at least allow him to stretch his legs. There were eight tunnels leading from the tunnel not counting the one that led back toward the underground river. For a moment he considered making metal walls to seal them off so he wouldn’t have to be crammed in his small room with the dwarf at night, but set the idea aside for something to work on later if he had the energy.
Normally Thad would pick the largest of the tunnels believing it had the largest chance of continuing on but since he wasn’t interesting in traveling too far Thad thought that a smaller tunnel might fit his purposes for the day.
