Regi nodded enthusiasticly, smiling a big, wide, nervous smile. But the strange man stayed stoic, continuing to frown at the boys.

"The Tree brought you here for a reason, so clearly you cannot leave just yet," the man continued, as more of his people filled in the room, seemingly coming from no where and wearing armor made from plants and rocks. Regi's face blanched at the prospect of staying down here for too long. He felt his heart rate quicken to a pace similar to a rabbit's, or in this case Tokki's. Regi felt claustrophobic, on the verge of hyperventilating. Vaguely he realized that these were all signs of a panic attack, but he was more preoccupied by the crushing fear of staying underground too long.

Eventually he realized, distantly, that he was shaking violently, and that the strange man was looking at him in concern, the first real emotion he'd shown since he'd appeared. Regi tried to speak, but found he was too short of breath to do so, and in the meantime fell to his knees; his legs had given out on him. He put a hand to his chest and tried to calm his breathing, but nothing seemed to work. He felt helpless in his misery.
