Discoveries

Gravitating toward his treasure, Sericea is in awe. The gem's brilliance made her eyes widen, a soft smile pulling at her lips, as she became captivated by the gem's otherworldly allure. Zagan felt himself straighten up, his chest puffing slightly, as if she were admiring his brilliance. “Yes. Beautiful.” He resounded her words, motioning towards the emerald once more, emphasizing its importance and his desire to collect it. She seemed to understand, because she went on her way to collect a few gemstones herself.

While Sericea searches, Zagan finishes his extraction of the gemstone. After some time, he’s able to slip a claw beneath the emerald, popping it out of the obsidian in a fluid motion. It rolls several feet away, almost falling into another crack in the stone but he catches it just in time. Phew. Holding it between his paws, he inspects it and is happy with his prize. Now he needed to find several more.

Zagan! Sericea’s voice calls to him, and Zagan whirls around to face her, swiveling his large ears in her direction. She’s moving toward something, and Zagan chases after her, wanting to witness her discovery. By the time he reaches her side, she’s scraping at the obsidian, prying out a fiery red gemstone that matches her fur. “Oh.” He says, tilting his head slightly, a gleam of mischief shimmering in his eyes. “It looks like you.” Not necessarily a jest, but there’s a playful tone in his voice as he regards the stone's characteristics. How fitting for her to find a red gemstone. “We have two now. I need…” He brings a claw to his chin, and taps it while he thinks. “Four more.” His gaze shifts back to her, waiting to see if she’s up for the challenge.
