I Took a Pill in Ibiza

It seemed bribing his company with the promise of treasure was the right call, because the moment after he was agreeing to the journey and stepping along side her. Ecstatic to have some company into the darkness, Aspen began walking down the mine shaft once more, eyes glancing back and forth between Tyranis as he spoke, to the direction they were heading. She didn't want to make some silly mistake and have them both tumbling down some dark hole, never to be heard from again. Thankfully she was drawn back from such thoughts at the mention of his younger years, finding it rather odd that his parents would let him wander off alone. Where she and her siblings had grown up, there was almost always someone to keep a close eye on the pups, never letting them go too far or do anything particularly dangerous without adult supervision. Perhaps that constant shepherd over her shoulder is one of the deciding factors as to why she left her family. But she wouldn't care to dwell on that trunk load either.
"Did young pup version of you have a lot on his mind often?" It was her attempt to make light of his bittersweet comment, trying her best to make him feel better. Though it didn't always work, she did always try to keep her company in good spirits, otherwise they would never want to be in her company again! "I would have loved that freedom; there was always someone watching us as pups. Hell, you couldn't even sneeze without someone standing over you, examining you for illness like some fragile doll." That was one thing a family full of healers always did; they thought the worst of every little thing. You stubbed your toe? It's broken. You had a coughing fit? You have a bug. Your stomach is upset because of that thing you weren't suppose to eat? Poison. Okay... maybe that last one was true once or twice. But it was still annoying.
At the mention of treasure, Aspen's eyes lit up like the Milky Way. "Really? Caves like this are perfect for finding pretty jewels or lost trinkets, and the things you can make with the treasure you find down here can really be amazing." She immediately thought of the beautiful necklaces wolves in her pack use to wear. She could recall asking about where they came from, and being brought to the maker, who was all to eager to shall her knowledge of hunting down shiny things and weaving them together painfully slow to make the pretty jewelry. She turned her attention back to the male, eyeing his chest curiously. "I think a nice big ruby would look good on you, or maybe even a sapphire. What do you think?"
"Speech"
