Cerilaine waited as she saw the blue light across her muzzle, barely noticable in the strong light of day. Closing her eyes for a moment, she reared her head back, shaking it very gently and feeling the tug of the crystals in her ear.

It hurt to do that, and she winced, pausing a moment. "I think it'll hurt for a while," she rumbled, opening her eyes slowly.

Attikias was talking again, and Cerilaine's ears went back (it felt so weird, with those earrings), watching him move his hands as he spoke. She owed him now, she supposed, and glanced away as she thought. 'Go to Fornax and wait for this key, or look for the key and not sit around waiting again.' She rolled these options in her mind- if she went, she'd need to tell Cygnus she was going, and she worked her jaw as she decided.

If they needed the key, she'd find the key.

Closing her eyes once more, she sighed inwardly, sitting up straighter. "I'll be fine." She stood soon after, wincing at the feeling of blood trailing down the back of her ear- but, she'd be okay. "I'm gonna go to Leo. I'll see you in Fornax."

Making quick eye contact with Attikias, she nodded to him before trotting away from the rift, ears forward with intent. She'd figure out whatever this city was from someone who could explain better than whatever Attikias was.

Pausing, she turned back. "By the way, my name's Cerilaine. Thank you, Attikias." And she continued on, paws carrying her swiftly to her next adventure.
