"Hey! I know you can hear me!" A deep baritone voice sounded behind them from a few floors above when they continued walking without responding to the call. Zephyr and Rita had tacitly decided to ignore it.
As they walked further away, Rita chuckled, "I thought you were gonna stop."
"What? I was waiting for you to stop too," Zephyr said with a laugh.
"Guess we're alike in some ways." Rita laughed. "What do you think he wanted?"
"Don't know." Zephyr shrugged. "And I don't really care either way. Seemed like something that was going to be troublesome."
They left the vicinity of their complex and walked further down the platform, passing by rows of other apartment buildings to the food stalls they had seen earlier with Guide Rita. They ordered some local delicacies, and to their relief, even though the currency here was different, the stall accepted the generally used coins.
