Take a chance

His brother might have only been mentioned in passing, but Anais caught the spoken name and committed it to memory. It surprised her, in all honesty. Glacier had seemed so hesitant to mention anything about them when she had first met him, giving her the sense that he was very much protective of his family and guarded about their identities and whereabouts. To have been offered one of their names felt like a privilege, one that she did not take lightly even if she did nothing to bring it to her mountain-like friend's notice. For all she knew, he may have even slipped and not meant to say it at all.

She did not notice how he smiled at her, only that he was smiling when she looked his way, and she did too when he answered affirmatively to her request. Her expression brightened, her eyes almost narrowing from the severity of her smile, and her tail quickly beat at the air as she tried to keep herself in place. She was going to get to explore the tunnel after all! "Yes, let's," she answered, her words accompanied by an excited chuckle as she quickly and eagerly fell into step beside Glacier. Oh, how exciting this was going to be!

Though it possibly could have been a little more exciting if she could actually see where they were going. The further they walked, the less the light from the cave's opening illuminated their path and the more she began to have to rely upon her ears and nose instead. "It's so dark," she commented, her first word spoken naturally until she heard just how loudly they echoed and let the rest out in a whisper that carried more than she thought it should. She could hear Glacier's steady pawsteps beside her, knew he was there though she struggled to make him out in the dark, but just to be sure, for a sense of comfort, she let her own paws draw her nearer, likely bumping gently against his side in the process.
