Cresent was surprised seeing her action as it got darker and clung closer to him like one would a pulshi on a cold night. It did feel off, and a familiar look he'd seen on himself too long ago before the mine became part of his life. Either somepony was out for her or something to get this much of a reaction to the dark, and how she lock eyes with him they seemed to tell more then what was being said. He draped a wing around her comfort trying to calm her more as they trotted onward around the mine
"I stay in a shed here in the mine you can sleep their tonight echo don't worry your safe, ok?" he said He looked back at the cave.
"come on ill show you where Im at" he said soon guiding her to his hut. It wasn't fancy nore was it cheap as Echo would notice right away. With a fridge in the corner near the restroom. A hammock, with a blanket and a pillow ,a table with a chair near along with enough room for about 3 avrige sized ponys to be in comfy like and a decent rug in the medium sized cabin as well, it wasn't fancy but one could almost call it a home office complete with a small radio on a small book shelf.
"with how often I work here getting this took a bit of time but it helps going back and forth between my place and here" The batpony said. cheeringly going to the closet getting to the fridge "its not much but it get the job done what you want for dinner I have left over pasta and some milk and juice" he said "no cider though id prefer to get drunk off work grounds" he chuckled trying to relax the mare more. He looked back at echo for her answer.
