The bobcat had originally meant to travel back to Cetus in search of items that might be helpful for her friend The Painter. As she travelled through Fornax, though, she realized that her home cavern did not have a lot to offer. Perhaps a bit of slime or algae maybe. But Selena had not seen The Painter in quite a number of cycles. She wanted to find him something truly special to help him with his magic if at all possible. That meant there was just one cavern she had to travel to.

It was through this thought process that Selena found herself moving towards Polaris. The very cavern was aglow with magic and wonder. It was the perfect place to find something truly special to bring back. She just had to figure out what.

Yoosung yawned.

He stretched, arching his back, dull claws digging into leaf-covered dirt. Arching his back the other way, the dog's spine giving a satisfying pop-pop-pop, and he straightened up, shaking himself out. There was a dull ache to his head, but it was not as bad as it was some days, so he found himself trotting out of his small, glowing den, seeking out the pool of water that he had made a habit of drinking from.

But before he could, he found himself spotting a familiar looking Bobcat. He tilted his head, vaguely remembering her from the fight with the monster in... hadn't it been Cetus? He never could remember the names of the Caves. "Hello," he called out, "We've met before, haven't we? I'm afraid I don't remember your name."

Selena stopped as a vaguely familiar scent traveled on the wind towards her. It wasn’t the small bat she knew, nor was it the Painter. Those she knew well were small in number. It had to be one of the many gembounds she had met in passing over the many cycles. But who?

As though answering her thoughts, soon the shape of a brown dog similar in size to herself appeared. He didn’t immediately ring any internal bells, but he was indeed familiar for some reason. Then she remembered, it was a time in Cetus. She had roamed from her den due to curiosity of a strange, floating orb of light. It had, unfortunately, led her and others to a meadow with a truly ghastly monster in it. Her face still carried a scar though it was covered by her fur at this point. Without thinking of it, her paw reached up to brush her face. Realizing the action, she played it off as grooming before returning her thoughts to the canine.

Yes. We met in Cetus one cycle.” She paused for a moment, trying to remember what role he had played during that event. She didn’t remember much of the specifics, though, but didn’t remember him being malicious any. “I’m Selena. I don’t think we exchanged names, then, as it was … busy then….

Yoosung offered the large cat a friendly wag of his tail, and a dog's smile, a lolling tongue and slightly dropped jaw. His ears twitched, and he sat down, tail tapping on the ground as it wagged.

"We did," he agreed, "Fighting that... that thing." he didn't remember much of what had happened, it was all a big blur, but he didn't think she had been any trouble. "I'm Yoosung, it's nice formally meeting you."

He tilted his head curiously, ears flopping over. "Don't think I've seen, or smelled, you in Polaris before? Are you exploring?"

The dog’s relaxed pose was slightly surprising to Selena. The bobcat was use to reacting to others with a more defensive pose, or neutral at best. Yet the canine assumed a position that adamantly expressed non-threatening and even comfortable state of mine. Despite how little they knew of each other. Selena’s emerald eyes widened slightly but she forced herself to keep her fur from raising or sparking with tiny crackles of electricity.

“No, I live in Cetus. I have a little den there that’s pretty cozy,” she answered when questioned if she had been in Polaris previously. She rarely left her home cavern so it wasn’t surprising that he didn’t pick up her smell there.

“I’m just passing through. A friend of mine is trying to make up a new type of magic! So, he asked a bunch of us to find fun and interesting objects to bring back to him. It’s been so long since I’ve seen him, I had to bring him back something extra special! So, I thought Polaris would be a better choice.” As she spoke, Selena became uncharacteristically joyful. Even the tiniest bit of purr was caught in her throat.

The bobcat confirmed that she lived in Cetus, not in Polaris, and that she had a den there. He smiled, offering "So do I! I've met some Gembound who have incredibly elaborate dens, but I prefer mine to be small and comfortable." she seemed ill at ease, so he was trying his best to make her more comfortable.

However, she quickly perked up, speaking of a new friend of hers trying to... make a new type of magic? "Make new magic?" he asked, tilting his head. "I didn't know that was possible!" His tail wagged, and he asked, "What would you like to bring him? Maybe I could help you-" he was quick to add, "If that's alright, of course."
