The cave was rather large, but Malcolm made it a priority to locate all of the prominent areas. Like, for instance, the way out. He did not expect, of course, to just be able to wander out as he pleased, but giving it a look over would at least tell him something. Sure, it was a bit of a hike, but hardly something he couldn't handle (even with a near sleepless night before).

Perhaps he might even get a glimpse of what was out there. Might give him some frame of reference. Might even get some fresh air, who could tell?
