She was relieved to hear the voice of the stranger answer her in a civil tone, to the point she even sighed heavily through parted lips. Thank goodness. With a shout like that, and a curse to match, Gale had no idea what kind of individual she was inadvertently keeping company with, and for a moment while her heart had still been racing a little too quickly in her chest she wondered whether they might not have been some form of monster. Her mind was not always inclined to take fanciful imaginings too far, but being closed off inside of a dark cave as someone spooked her seemed to be just the catalyst it needed.

A characteristically easy smile spread across her muzzle, crooked as the left side rose higher than the right, and confident that the other wolf was no monster the little lavender and grey wolf turned in place, putting her back to the direction she had been walking as she tried to peer back toward the cavern's opening on the far end. It should have given her a little more light to see by, but it only made her realize how pitch black it was once you got just a short ways in. The light seemed to stop there very close to the entrance, only illuminating that which it directly touched. The stranger was still in shadow, wherever he was behind her. He had to be close though, right? She had not walked that far into the cavern.

Though it did her no good - she could not even see the paws attached to her legs - Gale tilted her head to peer downward as she carefully began to walk again, trying to retrace her steps despite not having paid that much attention to begin with. Her ears perked atop her head, listening into the silence for the stranger and then twitching once when his voice addressed her another time. "Nah," she assured him, shaking her head even though he could not see the gesture, "I was just looking for a rock." She felt a little silly after saying it - if no one knew her brother was an avid collector, it might seem like such a strange endeavor - but nevertheless the words were spoken and unable to be taken back. Determined not to let it trip her up, Gale proceeded with introducing herself as she listened for the wolf, hoping she was carefully picking her way back through the cavern in his direction. "I'm Gale, by the way."
