Sweet Tooth

Segin was still pretty deeply asleep when Duchess' gentle grooming started to pull him back to the land of wakefulness, making him stir and blink his eyes open with a soft smile on his lips. He gave a sleepy, contented hum when she pressed into him for a moment and he dipped his head to nuzzle gently between her ears. While he did sorely miss the warmth that sleeping beside Indigo and the others provided, he wouldn't trade the chance to get to know Duchess like this. It was most certainly never his intention to know all of the members of their band intimately like this, he was enjoying the freedom they all had to love each other the way they did. He released her form his embrace as she got up and he rolled to his paws as well, giving a long stretch with a grumbling groan before shaking out his splattered coat also.

When she pointed out how the cavern opened up behind them, now brightly revealed in the morning light, his silver eyes widened with surprise. "I didn't either," he replied with a chuckle. "Lets go find out!" They still had more than enough time to get back to Indigo and the others before it got dark so they could spare some time to explore the cavern. He further in, his gaze scanning the intriguing crystal like walls as they moved further in, making him think of the sweet stalagmites Duchess showed him the night before. Even the air tasted sweet the further they went.
