Deeper they go

The two got up and look around.
"My friend, do you see the beautiful glitter on these walls? They are magnificent."
"Yes I see Gimili, let's take a look closer."
Gimili walks towards the small crystals encrusted in the wall while Legolas hangs back.
In a light voice "Are you sure there are no monsters here like there were in Moria?"
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Oh nothing, nothing that an *cough* elf *cough* couldn't hear."
Gimili shrugs it off and goes back to looking at the crystals only to soon hear some dripping noise.
"Legolas, did you hear that noise?"
"Yes, it sounds like it's farther down. Sounds like it could be water."
"Hum…I wonder if there is a hole around here that perhaps would show if there is a pool or not."
The two search for a bit.
"Hey Gimili, I found a tunnel" Legolas steps though, Gimili coming behind him. They look around, to the side and below to which there is a glimmer deep down.
"I shall go down, though I'll have to climb."
Legolas watches as Gimili climbs down, and spots some stairs in the distance. He heads over to it and starts to go down while calling to Gimili. "Hey you seemed to miss seeing the stairs."
Gimili looks up for a brief second spotting Legolas cursing to himself for not seeing that. Turning away, Legolas chuckles at Gimili's face, who soon loses his grip on the wall, Legolas in turn hears the splashing noise.
"Hey are you alright down there?"
"Yeah, just a bit soaked"
"So it seems….too bad you didn't see the stairs before climbing. You'd still be dry." Legolas said as he rubs it in. Legolas gets to the bottom of the stairs and looks up at the top of the stairs to his current position.
Gimli decided to get a little revenge on the snug elf.
Suddenly Legolas feels ice cold water engulfing him, reminded of Gimili's position in the water. "Ha look whose wet now?" Laughs Gimili as Legolas gets up only to slip on a rock at the bottom of the pool of water.
"Brrrr...it's co..col..cold!" exclaims Legolas. Gimili nods in agreement both
heading up the stairs to get away from the water and find a dry place. They
step back though the dark tunnel into the previous room they originally fell into.
"This room has to be a good 15 degrees warmer" comments Gimili.
Legolas sits down. "I don't know about you but I'm going to get some rest, and perhaps wake up dry." Gimili nods and they both lay down to sleep.
