[ While Jim scans for threats around, Zell is looking up at the ceiling of the tunnel. Relying fully on the hand linked to his own as he tries to figure out if it's man-made or if it's natural.
When he feels the squeeze, he looks down at his boyfriend. Zell knows he's tense. Has been tense since they returned to the ice tunnels. Waking up in the hospital, separations, and monster attacks have all occurred here. On top of that, there was also the maintenance that took place further north. He remembers vividly all the reasons his boyfriend should be apprehensive, but it still worries him. Returning the squeeze as he swings their hands up to kiss his knuckles.
A glance at his tablet tells him that they won't have a lot of time to explore the lake tunnel south. It'll be risking it if they press forward after the hospital, so he's prepared for the Soldiers to call it a day when they reach it. Even with the prospect of a gloomy night, he's still in a good mood. ]
Want a ride? [ He says it quiet enough for Jim's ears only. ] Bet I can carry you and my bag. [ Tipping his towards his back to mean he'll let Jim on his back. He would have to shift his bag around to the front or hand it off to Zack or Kunsel, but he's sure Mochi won't mind. They are practically at the roof of the hospital anyways. ]
