She’d been asking around about the strange arm-headed creature she’d seen in her vision. She’d learned his name - Azigh - and that he was what kept Pegasus safe for the innocent. That at least gave her the comfort that he would be, at the very least, safe to talk to. Hopefully.

She approached the area of Pegasus that he apparently dwelled in, but it just…it was just a stone wall. There wasn’t anything there. Confused, she looked around, but didn’t see any real hiding place, nor any kind of huge creature with a face made of hands. She reached out tentatively with magic, trying to find something - anything - that might give her a clue as to his whereabouts. Apparently, he might be hard to find. Somewhere secret and hidden. Which was great. Perfect.

Vaati was standing next to her, nose in the air, sniffing curiously, ears erect. Wilder-friend. There is a strange smell in the air. Her whiskers twitched and she lifted her own nose to scent the wind, but perhaps Vaati was picking up on something else. She let her senses meld with his for a brief moment, and….yes there was something here. Something odd, and faintly sweet.

She took a step towards the wall, looking around. ”Azigh? Azigh are you here?” She called carefully, keeping her eyes in every direction, more out of instinctual nervousness then any fear of the one she was calling for.

She only had to wait a moment before she heard the ruffling of feathers and turned, jumping at the sight of the massive creature behind her, a clear vision of the one she’d seen in the past. She felt her heart quicken with a mixture of excitement and anxiety, awe keeping her quiet for a moment as she stared up at the creature. He was…really big. And the lack of a face was throwing her off a lot. Discomfort with its appearance was at the forefront of her mind, but she shoved it away. He was safe, right? He cared. He was good. Not like

Anyways.

She finally broke out of her momentary silence and nodded. ”Y-yes. Hi, I’m Wilder. Um…I just. Wanted to ask you something. About something I saw. In a vision. In, uh. Gemini.” She stumbled through her words for a moment before pausing, taking a deep breath to steady herself before finishing. ”You were talking to someone. They said something about…a Tunnel T?” Her tail flicked behind her, ears twisting back. ”I’m sorry, this is probably just really random for you. I’m just curious, you see.” Hopefully, curiosity was enough.

Even if it wasn’t before.

Talking to this creature was...incredibly strange. There was no eyes to look at, there was no mouth where words came out. There wasn't even a face to gauge emotions or reactions. It was like talking to a talking wall. At this point, though, Wilder had seen about enough to adapt fairly quickly, despite initially being caught off guard.

It was still unnerving, eyes flicking around at each hand before staring at its...head? as a whole instead of searching for a specific point. "I've never been to it, or even heard of it until recently. They said it was collapsed. Why?"

As for her reasons, she realized quite quickly that she didn't exactly have a reason outside of pure curiosity. Was there something else? Anything else? The search for knowledge? Understanding these caves they all lived in? Trying to find some meaning to her pathetic little life? She was silent for a moment before she shrugged. "Honestly...I'm just curious. Is it...dangerous?" Her ears twitched and turned a little back. "I wouldn't want to let loose whatever danger that's there, but I'd like to know. If I'm going to live in these caves for my entire life, might as well learn about them."

Wilder's ears pointed forward at the name. "Cassiopeia? Is that another cave?" Excitement reared in her at the thought of a new cave that the Gembound hadn't seen before. It was quickly dampened, however, by the word 'tomb'. It made her think of Canis, with its endless blackened bones, or Hydra with its thousand dangers. She frowned. "What happened? Was it attacked?" By Order? Chaos? Something else?

She seemed to grow more confident and eager, however, the more Azigh spoke. He wasn't only answering his questions, but talking of investigating. Excavating. Wtihout knowing, she seemed to grow more animated, whiskers and nose twitching, her hindquarters wiggling the tinniest bit as she slowly kneaded the ground. "Oh, an investigation! I can help with that, if you want! I may not look it, but I have strong magic! I did Emuh's test and everything!" How would she get through a tunnel? Well, explode it, move the stones with her mind, break them up with bursts of energy, etc. Or maybe she could try that new magic she felt in her. To check for danger beyond the tunnel walls.

A thought flicked from Vaati gave Wilder yet another idea (she definitely would not have thought it before, so used to being alone) that made her pause. "Or, if you want to do an investigation or something I can...get others. So that if there's danger, we can face it together. It'll give you time to excavate." She'd rather help Azigh by herself - after all, who trusted her? Who would want to team up with her? But this might be a smarter way anyways.

Of course, the third option - shut up and come back in 7 days, like Azigh said. If he could handle danger by himself, well who was Wilder to doubt him?

But his final offer, to sate any other curiosity of hers, brought up a question lingering in her. She tilted her head at the many hands in front of her. "Yeah...who are you, anyways? Are you...a Master? Or do you work for them?"
