[Luna would not admit to being scared, but she was completely scared. And honestly grateful when he stepped in front of her, even if her dog immediately moved to stand next to him, crouching low.]
Right.
[She turned her flashlight towards the left tunnel, panning it over the walls. Whatever was coming was getting louder and closer...]
[He's on guard even if not entirely scared, more concerned by what's down here than anything. Luna's flashlight moves though and reveals...a vine? It lays limp on the ground as soon as the light appears and John gives it a skeptical look in response.]
...weird. [He'll step a little closer, eyes narrowed before the vine moves to wrap around whoever's closest to drag them forward.]
[Luna moved closer to peer at the vine, bent over slightly.]
...How's it grow down here when it's so dark?
[She asked, unaware that a second was slithering up through the darkness behind her. She yelped as it grabbed her ankle, nearly pulling her off her feet as it started to drag her backwards.]
Luna! [And instead of, like, using one of the various weapons he has, he dives to grab her arm and tries to tug back.] Use your other foot to stomp on it and loosen its grip, I've got you!
[But also.] That is a really good question though!
Just like that weird garland last month. [He pulls Luna back a little further, waiting to see how the dog's taking all of this before...] Should we help your dog, or...?
Like a weird monster boomerang? [He leads Luna forward though after giving the dog one last look.] That's convenient at least. My stuff usually doesn't follow me.
[She huffs as they walk. After another few seconds her dog comes bounding up the tunnel after them, a few of the shredded vines hanging from his claws. He gives a single, happy bark when he catches up, then darts ahead to go sniffing around.]
[And since we're both loaded down with tags, we can say that they continued on tunnel adventures with dog until they hit the trains and potentially split up or turned back.]

Ow! Ow let go!
[It was hard to say who she was even shouting at, really. Her dog was stalking towards them, growling though, trying to figure out how to help.]

Think you can bite? [He points at a free space in the vine.] Go get it!
no subject
[Which left the dog a bit tangled, but he almost looked like he was having fun tearing the vines apart.]
What the heck?!
[She asked once she was clear.]

[Her dog, meanwhile, was tearing and clawing his way through the vines, growling and barking.]

[Luna wasn't all that concerned, although her eyes did linger on the dog before she turned to follow him.]
[She'd gotten rather attached to the monster-mutt.]

Well, you have a cat. Cats are very independent, you know.

See? He came back.
