Immediately straightening and looking around with a frown at the comment about that this stretch of tunnel might not be as clear as it'd been marked, Cloud shakes his head.

"No. It's what I'm here for." Well, after a fashion. Right now and here, that's what he's here for because he signed up for it, but Cloud still can't quite believe he got himself here at all (except he can). Cocking his head, he can't... hear anything, but that doesn't mean there aren't any creatures around - and then he has to try and catch up to the man's longer strides, shifting his grip on his rifle a little.

"... I have a knife, if you want to borrow it until we're past this area," Cloud offers up after a few more steps, because by now he can tell what probably had Victor worried - there's no actual signs of them being followed, but he can swear he keeps hearing something just far enough away it's impossible to tell what it is, even if it's not echoing.
