Tallis returned the fea's small smile and chuckled when she nudged him. He followed after her willingly, eager to explore more of this cave and see what else they could find. He hadn't realized before how much more fun exploring could be if he had someone with him that was interested in it to. As they maneuvered their way down the next tunnel, his large paws moving easily over the age smoothed rocks, he contemplated her question. "No, I don't have any family. My father was killed when I was really young and my mother took me and my sister to live with a pack after that. I never did like the other wolves of the pack so as soon as I was old enough I left... I haven't seen them since." He held no ill will toward his past, so he felt fine sharing it will her, but it did always dampen his mood a bit when he thought about his family.


He looked toward the ground, his ears folding back as thought about his mother and sister. "I wonder how they're doing sometimes, you know? When I got older I realized that leaving them like that was awful. I guess I was the man of the family and all that. I just couldn't make myself stay for them." He sighed and looked up again, slowing to a stop when he did. He blinked a couple of times and the corners of his mouth turning up in a smirk. "Look at that."


In front of them was a pool of water and on the ceiling above it were long points of rock that were almost cone shaped and smooth from the water dripping over them for ages. "Wow..." he padded to the water's edge and sat down, looking straight up at the cave formations, all of his former depressing thoughts left behind. There was probably a dozen of the stalagmites in the area above them and when he looked around he noticed there were a few matching ones on the floor of the cave around the pool. "Look at that! The water must have formed them somehow. Maybe the water dripped down here when some of the snow melted?" He looked over at her with a grin on his muzzle. He loved finding new stuff like this.
