to explore is to learn

Cy stepped into the cave, drawing up beside Celeste. The woman's company is... comforting, actually. Being beside her makes her feel like she's part of something. Part of something real, part of something good. Part of a family. This was her family, even if she didn't always feel like she belonged within it. What a real goddamn bitch of a feeling that was. Still, that's mostly put to rest, feeling Cel soft against her face. The wraith leaned down to lick the space between the woman's eyes, a fondness in her gaze. Close. They can be close. "Hey, I'm here now," she shot back, unable to keep the little smile out of her tone of voice.

Celeste trotted deeper into the cave, and she couldn't say no. Taking off after her, the wraith's long strides seem to eat the ground beneath her feet. Not long before she'd caught up, she could feel the strange little breeze as it kicked up around her. "What a weird place," she remarked, gaze roving the walls. The low light of the lanterns seemed to catch on the different facets, throwing odd shadows up against the walls. "Pretty though," a little bit of mischief twinkled in her gaze, the light reflecting off of them. "Like you." Smooth, Cy, real smooth. Maybe Oki was rubbing off on her.
