Swirling Around

"Speech"

Like the sandy-hued female, he too felt slightly embarrassed for approaching her so suddenly though she appeared to be fine, accepting his apology which brought his mind back to a relaxed state. Once that topic was out of the way, she introduced herself as Ellisa, and following the exchange of her name he spoke politely with a friendly dip of his head. "That's a nice name; a pleasure to meet you."

It seemed she was also interested with the gaping entrance before them, his own curiosity climbing the longer he examined the shadows lurking within the cavern. Though the girl beside him was a newly acquainted stranger, he didn't see how her proposition couldn't be as enjoyable as exploring by himself or with his own friends. "Sure!" he exclaimed with an excited wag of his tail, though after a quick thought popped into his head, he quickly lowered his crown in a gesturing movement. "Oh," This gentlemanly stuff was difficult to remember, however that didn't waver him from his perseverance. "Ladies first." Despite trying to act solemn and serious in the matter, he couldn't help the amused grin that crept to his boyish features.
