ORIGIN - exploring

OOC: For Farrah and Leon.

Since creating THE Pack, Majesty hadn’t been far from Tunnel I, not wanting to leave his new home. But he was also a naturally curious, and restless, wolf. Eventually, he decided he needed to leave the tunnel for at least a little while and go exploring farther off in the Origin Cave. Farrah had happily agreed to accompany him, after he’d worked up the nerve to ask her, of course. He was still so nervous around her sometimes. But he was getting better about that, slowly but surely. He found he enjoyed her company. She made a great exploring buddy.

And so they found themselves in a new area – an area surrounded by lots and lots of water. It was everywhere. And the sound of the waterfall was almost deafening for Majesty’s ears. One would think that with all the water around, a wolf wouldn’t be able to smell much else. But somehow, the chocolate-brown male could very easily pick up the scent of other Gembound nearby. He instantly realized that he had intruded upon the territory of a group – maybe another pack? He took another sniff. No, he didn’t smell any other wolves, like him. He paused in his walking, unsure of what to do now. Just because he was lax about boundaries didn’t mean everyone else was…

Joy seemed to radiate off of the young female as she joined Majesty on this adventure. The furthest she has been so far was a tree-filled room but this place was beyond that place. They had to go through a few tunnels to make it here. And all the water! Never could she imagine there could be so much water in one place. "So loud . . ." Once she noticed the sound of roaring water, her ears dropped back slightly as she moved closer to the wolf. Her best friend as far in these caves.

Staying close to him, her side brushed his for a moment before she moved off to get a better look at some of the little pools of water over in the corner of the room. There weren't that many plants in here, but there was a numerous amounts of glowing mushrooms and rocks. Tail was curled rightly over her back as she turned to look back to Charming.

Farrah noticed Majesty paused, sniffing the air around them. Following suit, she lifted her nose to the ceiling and gave a few sniffs. "Is someone else here?" Maybe her nose wasn't as strong as his? Looking around, the small female took in the room. It was so wet in here, her coat was already layered with mist from the falls.

Thinking

OOC: weeee

Today was one of those few times when Leon was actually at home. He'd come to call this cave home, mostly because it was where he went back to at the end of the day. It was where Makyna would be, and where ever she would be, Leon would go. He wasn't very much of a waterfall kinda guy - in fact, the constant spray of mist leaving him almost always damp was a little annoying - but he would tough it out. His sleeping area was as far from the waterfalls as possible, in a little nook in the wall hidden from the spray. But the roar consistently permeated his thoughts, and the air around him was always humid. The bear did run at a higher temperature than normal - it wasn't surprising that even as he slept, he radiated heat. It didn't do much to ward off the dampness of the atmosphere.

After awakening from one of his quick naps, he took a look around to see if any of his groupmates were around. With the exception of Cancer, Leon was happy to join anyone's company during his down time. When he couldn't see Makyna, it worried him - but he was confident that she would be okay. She was clever. Upon realizing that there really wasn't anybody hanging around for him to talk to, Leon decided to head out on another scouting mission - heading towards a tunnel entrance, he found that he was not, in fact, alone.

Two canines had appeared out of nowhere, speaking hushedly to themselves while looking as though they were searching for someone. Leon narrowed his eyes and slowed, still partially hidden behind a crag jutting out of the rock wall. He monitored them for a moment before deciding they probably weren't going to cause any trouble. The bear moved into sight, lumbering towards them. "Can I help you guys?" He blinked, looking between the two dogs. Did they even know where they were?

”Is someone else here?” Farrah asked, lifting her nose to sniff the air.

Majesty guessed she couldn’t smell the others that had frequented this part of the Origin Cave. But he could still smell them. In fact, one of the scents was getting stronger by the second. It smelled… big. If that made any sense. But the wolf couldn’t see anything yet. He slowly walked closer to Farrah, who had gone a bit ahead of him, and pressed his body into hers for a moment. He felt the need to protect her, though he didn’t know why yet. He just hoped whoever was coming closer was friendly.

And suddenly there was a giant freaking bear lumbering towards them slowly. He looked incredibly intimidating, and Majesty was nearly caught up in that intimidation. But the bear seemed… friendly enough. He asked if he could help them, which Majesty knew was a more polite way of saying, ‘What are you doing here?’ He cleared his throat and stepped up, still keeping his distance, though. He wanted to let the bear know he was in charge. Not that he was sexist or anything, but Farrah didn’t strike him as the kind of girl who could pull off leadership.

“Hello. I’m sorry if we’re intruding,” he said. “I’m Majesty, and this is Farrah.” He gestured to his ~~girlfriend~~ friend. “We were exploring, but we can leave if we’re bothering you.” He wasn’t afraid, but as stated before, just because he didn’t care who came traipsing all over his territory, that didn’t mean others wouldn’t care.
