Owl Creek

Lydia picked her flashlight back up and sighed; "Don't thank me just yet. The tunnel to get from here to the sewage lines is narrow. Luckily, you're working with a smaller body than before." She almost moved on to the tunnel, but paused and turned back towards Fenlay - her face a reddish hue. "Not that your original body was bad. It's perfect - I mean fine." Lydia sighed and almost smacked her forehead with her palm. "What I mean, is that your original look is nice and I hope I didn't cause any offense. We should be safe down here, but it's going to be a long walk to the outskirts. I know how to get down to owl creek. Have you been able to rest at all, eat or drink water since your last transformation? Mutants burn a lot of energy when learning how to use their power. It gets better with practice, but energy burning can be dangerous." She spoke as she flung her backpack to the front of her and got on all fours to crawl through the narrow tunnels.
