Wilder understood...kind of. It was similar to what Squick did, eat what was left of a meal. Although she seriously doubted that they'd be eating whatever she had swallowed. She hadn't any experience with scavengers, but there was no harm in trying to catch Legion some food. And if they didn't particularly like eating meat then she'd just get an early dinner.

"Wait here." She turned and bounded a little ways away from Legion before going still and silent, her ears perked for any sort of sound nearby. After a few moments she heard a faint scuffling and spotted a mouse among a small bundle of dry desert shrubs. She crouched and began to slowly, carefully inch forward until she was in jumping range. She leaped and caught the mouse, swiftly ending its life with a nip to the neck and picked it up, carrying it back to Legion.

She set the mouse down and gestured towards it. "You can try eating this! This is what I eat. It's a mouse."

Wilder wasn't really sure what she was expecting when Legion reached forward to eat the mouse. She had just assumed that it would eat like she did since it was, well, her. It looked just like her! But when it opened its jaws and just...dissolved into the mouse, she stiffened.

That was absolutely horrifying to watch. And it didn't get much better when it stepped away, leaving nothing but perfectly clean bones behind.

When is thanked her she responded with only a squeak as she tried to register what she had just seen. It seemed everything this creature did seemed to get stranger and stranger. Squick was strange but Legion had to be the strangest by a long shot.

She took a few deep breaths. It was just another creature she hadn't met yet. It looked like her and that didn't bother her (although the eating food thing like that kind of did) she just wasn't used to them yet. It took her a few seconds to regain her composure.

When she did she forced a smile on her face. "Y-yes, I have flesh and bone. But please don't eat me."

Legion's logic reassured Wilder and she breathed out a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding. She laughed it off, a small giggle to clear the air and she felt significantly better. That had been quite horrifying, but at least she knew that she wasn't in danger of being eaten.

She shook her head. "No, we are not alone. There are many other creatures in the caves - gembounds. But if you mean here...I think so. I don't know anyone that lives in this cave. But there's probably someone. I have lots of friends!" she added on the end, puffing up her fur with pride.

She heard the buzzing grow more excited and her own tail twitched. "I could take you to meet someone, if you like."

Wilder smiled and perked up. "Great! I know just who you should meet! He's a good friend and he's really nice!" She bounced and turned away before realizing that Aure would most likely be in Canis. She wasn't sure if Legion wanted to walk that far so she had a sudden idea. She looked back at her new friend. "Give me just a moment."

She settled herself down and closed her eyes, letting her magic envelop her in a small, loose sleep. Her dreams expanded beyond her, reaching towards the familiar walls of Canis, poking and prodding until they found Aure and quickly touched his dreams.

He would see whatever he was dreaming of shift until it was that of where Wilder was staying, although Legion was nowhere to be seen. In the dream, she bounced up suddenly and turned towards Aure, a bright smile on her face. "Aure! I have a friend that I want to show you! Can you meet us? We're in Monoceros and I'll take them to Canis. We could meet halfway or you could wait for us there!" The dream started to fade as Wilder's meager concentration slipped on its hold and everything went dark.

Wilder blinked and opened her eyes, bouncing right back into a standing position. She looked back at Legion and waved her tail. "Follow me, we're gonna go meet my friend!"

She marched away, leading the way to the entrance to Orion.
