Cancer woke with a start when those vibrations worked their way to him. As he gasped awake, the echoed fade of a new voice- another bird?- carried over his ears. He turned, and those eyes searched the dark cave. It was during these short hours that the cave grew dark- and he wasn't entirely sure why. The mosses and lichens that glew to light this place minutely dimmed for a few hours every day... possibly to recharge or rest? Did plants need to sleep?

As his magic kicked in, a soft gleam seemed to shiver across his horns and eyes. Pupils enlarged to fill in where yellow used to be, and his world became bright. Easily, now, he spotted the bird stranger. With a sigh, he picked himself up and called back, a young roar, but a roar none-the-less. Can eased his way down to the floor from his ledge, then carried himself to meet this stranger. He carried himself tiredly, but with tail swinging high- it was somewhat clear he held some authority- not that ranks mattered so much here.

"Pisces Cave is home to Maji Walezi now. You'll have to be escorted through if you're seeking passage, stranger." He spoke well for his age, and when he came to stand before the bird, he lifted his head and examined the large thing casually. Much bigger than Bevy, but less colorful. Wings and scaled legs told him that this was a bird, even if its beak was malformed... or was that normal for birds, and Bevy's beak shaped weird? The cat wasn't sure he cared, to be honest. "Unless you know all that and you're here for another reason?" He doubted that option, but it wasn't impossible- Leon and Makyna had been in and out of the territory since their pledges.
