Darya gapped up at the strange designs on the cave wall. She was slowly growing bigger, her small body had become slightly less round and more bulky, her paws had definitely hit the stage of being too big for her still small form making much of her movement seem overly awkward.

Still she was just as eager to explore as ever and it seemed to her that she had stumbled upon a gold mine of interesting things to find! Her tongue lolled from her jaw and her tail best the air as she examined the strange markings on the wall. Who had made them? Had they been made? She certainly hoped to find the answer.

Curiosity had gotten the better of them. When they were wandering around, aimlessly, they had found the cave. Inside was dark, and nerves had filled them. They had twisted and turned, pacing outside of the opening, trying to gather up their nerves. Finally, they darted inside, not allowing themselves the time to chicken out. Adedayo's paws carried them quickly, away from the light that they wanted so badly to go back to. When the light was far enough away, they found themselves coming to a stop, faltering, breath catching in their throat as they stared at the area in front of them. It wasn't as dark as they had expected, but there was still a spike of anxiety in their stomach, sending their heart fluttering.

With a heavy swallow, they started moving again, this time their pace not as fast as it had been. They could see, jaws parting quietly to breathe in the air, maybe try and get rid of the panicky feeling inside of their chest. After a few moments, they turned into a room, their breath coming in a sudden gasp as their gaze caught sight of the walls. Strange designs were on a near wall, and they moved closer, almost unconsciously. Their gaze wasn't torn from the wall until a slight movement from the corner of their eye caught their attention. Adedayo's head whipped around to face the source of the movement, fur rising along their back until they realized just what it was. Another wolf; their fur began to flatten, and, slowly, they began to relax.

The other wolf was a pup, probably about the same age as Adedayo, if they were judging correctly. The pup didn't seem to be much bigger, either, and they edged towards the other pup, one who seemed just as interested in the designs as they had been. Their jaws parted, a quiet noise escaping them, hoping to catch the other pup's attention. If they hadn't managed to already, that was. Regardless of if it worked or not, they spoke, voice lowering and quieter than they had expected. "Do you know who made the...." The word for it escaped them, and they tilted their head, just slightly, towards the designs on the wall. "Those." Embarrassment was flooding them, and they were regretting even approaching.

The child was unaware of an approaching stranger, surely if she had been Darya would have quickly moved on. As it was she didn't notice the other pup til they spoke. She jumped slightly, wide eyes turning to yet another star marked child. A part of Darya wondered if this one was another of Jupiter's siblings, though this pup didn't really resemble either Orion or Aerndis either so... maybe not? She gaped for a second, mind trying to understand exactly what it was the pup was asking. "ну..." She began, before switching to the tongue it seemed every other wolf but her family spoke.

"Darya not know..." She said, watching the other pup with open caution. She inched slightly away from the pup, wanting to put some more distance between them for the time being.
