Karabela was an aimless creature, moving by feeling and impulse more often than logic and in her random decision to head northwest she found herself in a strange and almost eerie place. The Whisperer's Gorge. Smooth formations of dune-colored rock swirled and stretched out before her like a river imposed upon the stone, the waves and swirls now frozen forever upon the surface. There was little in the way of brush but quite a few caves and passageways. Probably not the best place to look for food unless they wanted to eat bats. Raba liked lizards though. They might make a nice snack. "What do you think of this place Lilli?" Karabela took a few cautious steps forward before she peered right into a cave, immediately sniffing around. ""

whispereres gorge Okay... the west sucked, it was dry, hot, not a lot of water... but this, this was beautiful, if a bit scary. The red girl was mesmerized by it, eyes roving over the smooth walls and peering into the cave that was surprisingly light. Lillie joined the girl in nosing around, ears twitching at the question. "It's pretty neat, actually," she admitted. "Seems fun to explore... certainly like nothing I've ever seen before." It was fascinating, it really was. The girl couldn't even hold her curiosity and impatience, instead, she stepped into the cave, nose twitching all the while. She was still hungry, but she figured she could wait a bit. "Speech" "Italian"

Hmmm.. nope, nope… nothing edible here. Karabela gazed through the cracks in the cave ceiling where light was filtering down. "These caves would make great den sites. Shame there doesn't seem to be much water nearby unless one travels to that pond in the Whistling Willows." Trotting out of the cave Karabela began weaving and winding her way through the gorge's numerous trails. "Hmmm… I wonder how far back these go….." She glanced back with a grin on her fast. Oh this was risky, they could get lost if they lost focus. "Maybe we should just make right turns and only right turns, then if we get lost we know we only need to make left ones to get back to the start." ""

Lillie nodded. "Yeah, it's sad water's so far away. They would have been great dens, and easy to defend, too. Any intruders would get lost with the small passages, and big entrances would be guarded." She followed the other, trotting up the trail gingerly to keep her balance. Yeah, it definitely was windy. And long. Green eyes stared at the numerous caves, and the trail which was so... labyrinth like. "Yeah, good idea. This place is definitely easy to get lost in..." her voice trailed off as she spotted another cave, this one... unique. It looked like there were teeth in it, and the girl found herself heading towards it. "Kara!" she called, shortening the other girl's name.. and hoping it was alright. Even if it wasn't.... this was amazing. "Speech" "Italian"

Karabela nodded as Lillie spoke. Well… she supposed every place had its drawbacks and the lack of water was going to be the con to this place. Glancing about Raba allowed herself to twist and wind with the passages, going deeper and deeper into the gorge. She would pause every now and then to investigate a cave, finding all manner of strange items though none that particularly interested her in keeping. Karabela peered at a broken pot and cautiously she peered in, frizzing up when she saw movement. Was it a snake? No! A lizard! Raba's rapid fangs quickly seized the squirming creature as she violently shook her head. Hmm… it was small but a snack was a snack. She quickly slurped down the little creature and was licking her lips when she heard her companion call out. Quickly trotting over she called out. "What is it Lillie? Oh and Raba is fine, i usually go by that. Is it alright if I call you Lillie?" She peered in and froze. "WHOA, are those teeth?" ""

Hearing the girl coming over, Lillie's head turned to look at Raba, nodding as she was corrected for the nickname. Her attention went back to the teeth, then, for... giant teeth in a cave were infinitely more important. "Look!" she pointed with a paw up at the teeth. She noodled to her question. "Yeah, Lillie's fine." It was a bit late, but who would blame her? She took another step in the cave, looking up at the teeth. "Yeah, I think so..." she peered in a little further, craning her neck up and around to stare up at the teeth. A few more steps ad she was in it, head still craned to look. They still looked like teeth, but they were... grey? Rock was grey, but rock also wasn't shaped like teeth. Something wet fell on her nose, and the girl yelped, scrambling back. Her fur puffed, and her tongue flicked out to lick what had fallen on her nose, fearing the worst: blood. No, it was water. "Water...?" she muttered. Shaking her head, she stared back up at the things as her fur smoothed out, expression incredulous. "Speech" "Italian"

Karabela gazed at the teeth as she wondered what on earth they could possible be from, they were huge! Did bears even get that-- Raba took a few steps back, swallowing suddenly as the memories threatened to rip her apart. She swallowed sharply. She wasn't going to go to pieces in front of anyone and she certainly didn't want to appear scared. No way! Raba marched right up to the teeth, sniffing over them but they smelt…. well like rock. Hmmm… When Lillie yelped Raba's fur stood on end and stumbled back before they realized it was water. A few drips but only enough to make her feel suddenly thirsty rather than actually sate her thirst. "Man… I'm really thirsty all of a sudden, shall we find something to drink? This place doesn't seem to have enough water to quench our thirst for long." ""

The girl had to nod to Raba. "I agree... the west is rather dry," she muttered, shaking herself. She did not see the almost melt-down, nor did she even notice anything unusual in the way Raba marched up to the tooth and sniffed it. She was focused on her own discovery, and investigating it herself at the time. She scuttled out of the cave, blinking at the sudden light, sniffing the air. "We should go this way," she announced, heading in that direction. Karabela had chosen the last direction; she would choose this direction. Hopefully, there'd be water in their destination.
