Decent Descent

The Raiders had up and moved, and while Kaija wasn't sure she had any real opinion on the choice - not that it mattered, since it hadn't been up to her anyway - at least she felt some good things about being so close to the lands she'd been born in. Change didn't really bother her and moving certainly didn't, not when she was used to always moving to a new place. Returning to familiar places though, especially after being away from them for awhile, could be pretty nice, she had to admit.

When a wolf named Morwenna had invited her to tag along for a little cave adventure Kaija was inclined to go along with it. Cave-diving wasn't exactly a pastime of hers but exploring new places definitely was and she was down for a little adventure. Admittedly there wasn't a place she'd come across that she hadn't been interested to explore, no matter how strange or foreboding it might be. Pausing near the dark entrance, Kaija considered it for a moment, though came up short. "Y'know, I don't think so," she admitted.

Though she had no light source of her own she knew her eyes would adjust to the darkness as they navigated into it. Slowly, maybe, but enough to keep her upright and in one piece - or so she hoped. Carefully she descended after Morwenna, slowing slightly as they neared the bottom of the incline. The other woman's little victory dance earned an amused snort from Kaija, a slight grin breaking across her features. Lately she hadn't exactly been in the most joyful mood but that didn't mean she had to be a shitty travel companion. No need for all that.

This place was already quite different than she'd expected. The cave's mouth was full of flora, growing plentifully despite the recent shift in weather. That was pretty cool. Sniffing around a cluster of thick vegetation, flowers and wide-growing ferns that threatened to overrun everything around it, she lifted her head and gave a half-hearted nod. "Yeah, it's pretty neat. Haven't seen anything like this before," Kaija agreed. "You're wanting to go further in, yeah?" The darkness up ahead was more tempting to her than any flowers could be, though she wasn't sure if her travel companion would agree or not.
