As Svetovid's offer echoed softly toward her within the darkness, Gale stopped and blinked her pale green eyes as if surprised. Help? Admittedly, that was a little unexpected. The invisible company she kept had been friendly, to an extent, even if they did not sound like charming or even socializing were high on their priority list, but this was an extension beyond amiable politeness meant for a stranger. This went along the lines of spending your time and energy for someone else's benefit, and the significance did not go unnoticed. Her expression brightening, Gale smiled into the pitch black of the cavern and carefully took up her slow walking pace again, answering delightedly, "Yeah, I could use the help." Especially when she could hardly see the nose at the end of her face let alone the stones she passed on the interior of the cavern.

By the sound of his voice, she knew she was close, and she strained listening to the sound of it to notice where the echo ended and his natural tone began. Was he closer or further than he sounded? A little to this side or that? Gale's brow furrowed slightly as she tried to focus, scenting once more softly at the air to see if it would help. His scent was stronger now, which meant she must have been nearly upon him. If only she could pinpoint in this last stretch... His voice guided her as he openly questioned her plan, pointing out the big, fatal flaw that it held. She felt immensely sheepish and chuckled again at her own expense, as she explained, still pacing slowly onward, "I was hoping there'd be another light source hidden in the back of the cave." It felt awfully foolish now, especially since she had been that way and had seen nothing more than she had noticed in the center. Sure, there were rocks, but she had no way to inspect them for uniqueness.

His scent was stronger now, his form closer. She could almost sense it within the darkness, drawing her toward him with her muzzle outstretched and her nose scenting away. Just a little... "Oof!" Her muzzle suddenly hit a short coating of fur, as well as the broad stretch of muscle beneath. Was that a side? A shoulder? Goodness, she had not run into his rump, had she? Hastily, Gale stepped back, muttering quickly even as she smiled, embarrassed, over her own poor luck, "Sorry." She could not see him in the darkness, knew nothing of him other than what she had felt in that second that she had accidentally stepped into him, but there was one significant detail she had been able to pick out even in the dark. Or perhaps two. "You're tall, aren't you?" Gale asked, unabashed and curious. He must have been sturdily built and fit too, from the solidness she had felt when walking into him, but commenting on his height felt more of a neutral observation than commenting on his fit physique.
