She fell silent and let Vanta digest her words. Once she had, she found the other wolf was inclined to agree that they were onto something. Lia reminded herself carefully that this was important. Just as facing her mother was a vital part of growth, so was this. This was facing her past, and actually doing something about it.

She inclined her head in agreement. “Facing my mother was something I had to do alone, but I suppose it’s nice to have company on this” She said, a light hint of teasing in her tone. It was easier to tease than to fret.

She let herself follow Vanta’s lead, stepping after the much taller wolf, and allowing her own steps to soften. Treading lightly through the caves, which were familiar to her. Especially with the refresher she had just given herself. She did allow herself some amusement as Vanta’s quiet walking. If they encountered any source of light, they were going to be beacons in the night.

Shortly after entering, Vanta indicted for her to lead. It made sense, since Lia had the most current and relevant information. She let herself step ahead, and made her way through the cavern. Passing by the old marks in the dirt where pens had been set up. Nearing the back of the cave, where privacy was allowed for any who might wish it. She reached out and touched a paw to Vanta, and then pushed her paw forward, indicating where to look to find the subtle entrance.
