She'll hurry to keep up with him, trotting awkwardly alongside.
The feeling of hunger initially manifests as a desire for data, and she examines the branching tunnels curiously. Her data on mines tells her that they can be cramped, so the atmosphere of claustrophobia is unsurprising, though it is still noticeable in a way that makes her wonder if fear is the intention.
Every single one of those tunnels could lead to something terrible, and yet her chest burns, as though by not learning what's down them she's depriving herself of vital oxygen.
...Actually, she's feeling really short of breath just, in general.
"Couldn't work in a mine if you were claustrophobic, I guess." The remark is a distraction from her current state, but only in part: the need for attention grows alongside her need for knowledge, and she finds herself thinking more and more about fear.
...She wonders: is Ethan even aware of the entities that FYRE has ties to?
The feeling intensifies. Her non-existent stomach is roiling now. It's a new sensation, one that almost stops her in her tracks.
...Oh Hell. This is entity influence isn't it?
Her expression loses it's brightness, taking on a more unhappy but pretending not to be look. Unfortunately, self awareness doesn't lessen the urge and its influence at all.
Cortana is, historically, not the best at suppressing these sorts of urges.
