A-spire-ing Exploration

It's not until Star's sigh of defeat did Sonnet really register where they were. She stares wild-eyed at the scenery. This was nothing she'd seen before. These spires were terrifying. Tall, craggy, scary things with carvings trailing down beneath big holes. What were those things? She blinks, her tail tucking tighter beneath her, against her belly as she swallows loudly. "Th-thanks," she says softly, scooting closer to Star as they inch closer to the spire.

After a minute, the pup attempts to collect some bravery, but the sharp tone of Alarr sends her fur bristling and ears flattening. Crouching toward the ground, she twists to look up at the behemoth of a man. Before she could say anything, Star was saying they were taking a quick look. Sonnet is nodding urgently like yes, indeed, only a quick look! "I promise I won't be trouble!" Sonnet insists, turning big, watery puppy-dog eyes up to Alarr with a timid, shaky smile.
