ORIGIN - A Time to Explore

"Speech"

Today was the day! She had awoken first, as usual it seemed, but today she was awake much earlier than usual. All because of the excitement that she knew that was in store for today. For today would bring a whole new adventure! The young cub stood excitedly, looking around with glittering blue eyes. It had been what seemed like forever now since she came to live within the area of Pisces with Leon and Makyna. Days as Leon and Makyna went off to do who knew what. Adventures Amaria was sure, but today was HER lucky day. Today her big bubba Leon was taking HER out to go explore! And she just couldn't wait. She had gotten only a little bigger since Leon and Makyna had brought her here, but that was okay. She knew it would take time to get as big as those two. If she ever did get as big as them anyways.

A broad grin slipped across Amaria's muzzle and quickly she turned on paw and bolted back to the sleeping area she had snuck away from. She had slept close to Leon this time, knowing that her dear big bubba would be showing her around. He was still fast asleep. Snoring away in his dream lands, but Amaria would be fixing that. She just couldn't wait any longer. She had to get him up. Had to wake him so they could start their fun day of exploring. She took no time in her running to make a leap at her beloved big brother.

She took only a few more steps and soon jumped, using all the force she could muster in her back legs to send her flying at the big bear. Her target had only just barely been reached as her calculations had been off. Of course she would blame it on a rock she had slid on or something, but big bubba Leon didn't have to know about that. She landed half way on him. Thudding against his side as her front legs went right over. "Big Bubbi! It's time to get up! Bubbiiii!" She mewled loudly grinning broadly as she looked towards his face, hoping she had done a good job in trying to wake him up.

Before Leon could understand what had happened, he felt a sudden force drive into his side. "Oh!" The bear huffed, eyes instantly peeling open as he jumped slightly in response. His ears twisted around, and for a moment, he lay there blinking and trying to understand what it was that had woken him up. Before long, though, the cheerful voice of the young leopard cub had attracted his attention. Leon shifted slightly, rolling onto his side to peer over at Amaria who had hooked her front paws over his side. He wrinkled his nose at the young girl, looking as though he was fighting back a yawn - eventually it broke through and the bear cracked his jaws open wide, teeth glinting in the pale Pisces glow.

Clicking his teeth together, he shook his great, fat head, trying to wake himself up. He stared blearily over at the girl for a moment before remembering why she might think it appropriate to disturb his sleep. He had told her he was going to take her exploring, hadn't he? Couldn't it wait for another hour or so...? Well, no, it was too late. By now, Leon was awake enough that it would take too much effort than it was worth to fall back asleep again. "Okay okay, I'm up, I'm up." He grumbled and slowly clambered to his paws, stretching out his fore limbs before shaking out his pelt. A cloud of debris scattered from his fur and returned to its resting place where he usually slept.

Leon hadn't really come up with a game plan, only knowing that he was going to take Amaria out exploring, and that he'd want to avoid Polaris due to the dangers of the golems. "Where are we going then?" He asked through another yawn and scratched at his ear with one of his front paws. They had three options - one of which would lead them directly to Polaris so, maybe... only two. The bear wandered out away from his cave towards the heart of the room, where they could see all three of the tunnel entrances. He gestured at the entrances to tunnels H and M, then glanced down at Amaria, awaiting her decision.

"Speech"

Laughter played melodically in the cave that Leon made his home. The little white cub, who was starting to gain some of her more creamy tan color, bounced around with her excitement all the while Leon was slowly lumbering up to his big o' paws.They were just about as big as her head! Normally that would terrify someone, but not Ammy. Especially not with her Big Bubbi Leon. She could never fathom that he would ever lift those big ol' paws up to cause injury to her. A cheesy grin spread across the cubs muzzle as Leon inquired about where they should go first as he made his way out of the cave.

Amaria was close behind. Practically hopping and leaping after the bear. Of course she definitely had to playfully bat a paw at the back of his hind legs. Almost as if she were teasing him to hurry up. It wasn't the case though. He could go as slow as he wanted! So long as he still took her out to explore. Amaria gave an 'oof' as she suddenly collided into the same hind legs she had been playfully swiping a when Leon suddenly came to a halt. Amaria, again, laughed at the predicament before she hurriedly rushed around the side of Leon and looked around before gazing up at him thoughtfully.

Turning her gaze back to the tunnel entrances after Leon had gestured towards two certain ones, the little cub looked between them. Trying to decide which would be the best option. She padded a little closer toward them, but dare not get too far away from Leon. As curious as she was, and as fierce as she liked to think she was, it was still unknown territory for her. For now. And for now it held the potential of being dangerous. It didn't worry her though. Not when her Big Bubbi would be going with her.

She plopped back on her haunches and curled her tail along her side all the while narrowed her deep blue eyes at the two entrances. She wanted to see both ways. To explore and find out just where they took them. Of course...one of the tunnels was familiar. It had been the one that Leon and Makyna had used to bring her here from Polaris. So, she supposed that left her option with the other tunnel. She instantly grinned and popped back up to all four paws and made to lunge towards Tunnel M. "This way! Can go this way?!" She looked over her shoulder at Leon with an excited smile. Eager to see if he would oblige and allow them to start their adventure.

Once the little leopard cub had decided what direction she wanted to go, Leon obliged and nodded his head. The big bear turned his lumbering form towards the tunnel, following her. That tunnel would take them to a fairly safe place... that was towards Orion, wasn't it? Leon hadn't really explored there before, so this would be a good opportunity for the both of them to learn more about the surrounding rooms. As a scout, it had been his job to explore these rooms, but Leon had neglected the larger ones. He was more interested in the smaller rooms and the branching tunnels that connected them. He moved after her, bobbing his head as he walked. His eyes would occasionally flicker away, searching for anybody else that may be awake - Makyna, Cancer - but he couldn't find anybody. Oh well. Today would be just a fun little exploring day with him and Amaria.

exit Leon temporarily :'D
