Speech // thought
A smile ever present as he trotted next to her. Ignita adored his eagerness, his delight, his anticipation.
"I love a good gemstone!" Ignita mused, They could always use more sources of the stones! She led him inside and immediately spied the strange markings on the walls. She let him finish his thought about the plants and nodded emphatically! If they could find something with luminescence they could have a resource to try and find a way to use it!
"Ohh! If we find old bones, I wonder if they'd be from the two-legs that made these marks! Look at this! You see this mark here? The round head, standing on two feet, not four? That's a two-leg. A human. Here it's holding a spear aaat..." Hm... she couldn't recall what type of creature it was, it had an extremely long neck and four legs,
"Some kind of creature I don't know yet! A long time ago humans walked this planet. Nearly every trinket we have is originally made by them. They were like big monkeys that knew how to make and do everything! They wrote most of the books you're reading!" She said and nosed his cheek lovingly.
She didn't want to overwhelm him all at once. This wasn't why they were here! Though she loved finding these amazing ancient pictographs. She could tell him how old they probably were when he was taught a bit more about the concept of time.
"We shall find... Whatever we can! Collecting some bones, gems, or glowing plants! Which way should we go?" She asked with a swish of her tail as they came to a fork in the paths. She lifted her nose to scent for any danger down either path. They had cleared a bear out a while ago, but another could have easily tried to wiggle its way in. So far she could only smell dust and cavern pool waters.
