go the distance - Printable Version

Delilah The only limits we have are the ones we give ourselves.

Heart pounded in her little chest, running out of one of the tunnels that connected to this large room; returning to the place where it all started. The young pup was sure this was the same room, it looked the same but . . . this wasn't the same spot. Maybe wrong turn? Nose dropped to the ground as she tried to take in the scents that filled this place. No, this wasn't the same place. The place where she woke had high walls, like smaller caves. This new place she found was still nice tho, the curly haired pup made her way up to the flat rock that seemed to lay out in the open.

Large, flat and demanding inspection. Nose dragged over onto the smooth surface, trying to understand the different smells that drifted off of it. Delilah was easily impressed, finding such amusement in such a location as this one. She already came from a chilly tunnel with floor colder then anything she had ever felt. Ran into other gembounds, attacked by shadows and seen water fall from high. These things filled her mind, growing her need to know more and better understand all that she has encountered.

Which of corse led the pup back to the place it all began, tho this unfortunately was not the place. Ooops/ Well, she still has time, all the time she wanted. She lifted her head, glancing over in another direction, spying a single rock bigger then the rest. All by itself, just asking, begging, to be jump on. A flick of the tail, and there she went.

(edit after roll)

With a spring of her legs, up and up she went. And then, down and down she fell, slipping right off of the rock and down the side of the edge landing in a pile of quartz dust. ". . . ouch." Standing up to shake off the failed attempt to playing it cool. Her ego was a bit bruised, but the pup slowly climbed up the rock this time. Still made it in the end, tho she would be feeling that bruised side later on.

"Listen to me."

She had decided to stay in this pretty glittering stone room after meeting all of those...what was it? Deer? Like her. They had a lot of fun, and she still felt her face flush warmth when she thought of the Vazi. He was really too pretty. Too, too pretty. She felt like she could've made a much better impression. She could've glowed for the Vazi, tossing her head back and glinting her shining eye and saying smoothly....

She heard a yelp, then a very solid thump.

Peeking her head through one of the many rooms in Orion, startled, thinking one of the deer had come back and needed help, but all she saw was a big fluffy brown thing falling from a rock and attempting to climb up onto it, and she laughed, the sound seeming loud in such a quiet, echoing room, at the silliness of the situation.

With a smile and a few giggles here and there, she walked over to the fluffy thing and copied Vazi by dipping a polite nod of her head. "Hello."

Delilah The only limits we have are the ones we give ourselves.

The poor little pup felt rather embarrassed after realizing that someone had witnessed her failure. Oh the shame to her pride, she had only met a couple other souls so far and did her best to make a good impression. Tho, not doing so well on both of those occasions. Delilah shook once more, letting the dust fall from her coat; tho some of the sparkles remained in her fur. Who was that anyway? She couldn't get a good look at the other at first, but saw them soon enough as they approached her.

Well, they were different. The poodle had only met Isaac and Saudade so far, both seemed like her in the way with wet noses and paws for feet, but her ears and tail didn't match them. But this new gembound was very different, they were all legs and coat very short with a sort of glow to it. "Hello." And they spoke, which was nice to know. She was told that some others were still silent. "Hello to you." Returning the smile.

Glancing back over to the rock she had fell from. "It was a little funny, I suppose." Sitting her rump down to the cool ground before she looked back to the other. "Do you have a name, legs?" They had the longest legs so far compared to the others. Head titled to the side,pausing before adding in "I'm Delilah." A pretty word she came up with, thought it was fitting after all.

"Listen to me."

"N-no...I don't haa-haave a name." She replied, her ears flickering back. Not having a name distressed her very much. Everyone else seemed to introduce themselves as if they had a name purely upon awakening, whereas she had trouble finding the names of the simple little things around her. She wished she had some sort of teacher for these things!

"De-Deli-Delilah is a vv-veryy pretty n-name." She said shyly, wondering if her name, once she found it, would be as lovely. She walked up to the Delilah, sniffing it, looking it over. "Y-yoou are very pretty too."

"Is my name l-legs?" She asked, tilting her head. but that didn't really sound quite right.
