The walls of his mind were drawing down; brittle and insufficient in the way one would knock them down. Though being was fine overall, it knew well of its product in keeping up momentum to explore and experience. Properties of this place would be great for the weary it seemed, but surely sucked the life out of those in which already overfilled their own supplement. Form held a relaxing stride, using the walls to guide him to his next exit. A tunnel, another room; it had not matter to the youth so long as it was out of lively sector.

Despite darkness in which dominated cave for the longest time, eyes were not all that fazed in not only being adjusted from blankness after a while, but organ was more build for this lacking. Shapes were apparent which was enough to navigate through and not trip over much of everything; but that had not excluded the occasional rock that met his paw. Shifting the stones he held in his mouth, he decided to try and leap over a considerably sized rock. With a small grunt, once he was on it his ears flickered at the faint sound of... crying? Each one made his skull tilt one side to the other in dishing out the location of it. Kyorai hopped off his temporary perch and followed where the whine was emitting from.

Urgency may or may not have filled his little body; thoughts conjuring up guesses as to why a being called out in apparent distress. There was the want to bay out for creature in whichever direction they lie. Hearing proved it further when putting forth the effort in acknowledging their heartbeat. Fast without any measure in calming. He glided toward where the beats became loud and slightly unbearable to large ears. Due to that, ears flatten but expression curious as to what was going on to cause this. After a few seconds of remaining on one path, a figure faded into his view; steps bringing him to go over to the side. Nose took in the air around, realizing the unique scent often those seemed to give off when emerged. Ah, so that was it. Scratching the ground to make an indent for his stones, he came close to the new form afterwards. Perhaps they were scared of the dark, which he found peculiar, but would try to understand such.

"Hey, hey. What's the matter?"

He questioned in a light tone, aiming to lick the young creature on the leg. Wha- what! It was a deer! The canine was not sure how to feel about it seeing he heard countless times that they were prey. However, he would push said telling away knowing it was something unnecessary.

It was not a surprise to hear their words riddled with fear. An emotion he has hardly gave his time to nor let it conjure time for him. A small relation the dog lacked, but he would try within the best corner of his mind to play true and mindful to the gemling's concerns. Even though he had the luck of light when he emerged, that certainly was a different situation for this fawn. He nudged at them this time to silently offer his company. It was a bit awkward as they stood much taller than him, but the puppy would try to work around that. "No need to be scared! Nothing's going to get you! I will be sure of it," he assured, positive that they would stay safe at least within his perimeter. The fawn was fortunate the puppy did not have any great interest in the deer within this cave yet or this would probably become a risky encounter.

Small hum emitted from him, perking an ear at what the gemling preferred. "Out? I don't think there's a way out," he was unsure if this cave had a known exit and never took the time to consider such plausibility. The elkhound would have to think of an alternative to their want. Shortly after pondering a few seconds, he recalled spots where minerals shone naturally and without fail; not needing to rely on any source other than themselves. "However, a place without darkness is not too far," he told in the intention of calming the creature, "little crystals with their own light! Perhaps better for you," he admitted with a smile as curly tail swayed. From where he known of their current location, they should not be a ways away from a clutter of crystal lights.

Multi-hued eyes scanned what all it could see up to the shadowed figures surrounding. He was uncertain how much of an adventure this would prove to be for Perth, but if they rather sureness than fear then something would come about. "Just follow me, it won't be dark for long!" he promised, bouncing forward some to make sure the fawn knew of his current spot near them. Kyorai wished he retained that light self took the time to break off. Perhaps by luck they could stumble upon it while venturing to where light was abundant as mind faintly remembered dropping it somewhere. Though that depended on if new youth could keep along.

Content dominated its usual settlement when he saw the fawn break away from the fear in which they had initially. Such thing was good for both as their was not much of a middle ground beforehand from his own inexperience. Skull tilted at the peculiar sounds they produced; angle changing with each one. Despite the lack of understanding for use, he unconsciously knew its meaning which was more than enough. The puppy beamed at their spoken gratitude, mind swelling from warmth at its own self-praise. How fulfilling it was for the young form—outing the bad and fueling the good.

Stance came steady when company got close to him, thoughts battling the seesawing fixture of the wrong and the right. He snorted at the others livelihood as body had to fish some of its own back. While secretly drawing paths out, gaze flowed over to Perth in which asked for his name. How forgetful was he not to mention it previously. "Kyorai is what I go by!" he told, raising a brow soon after. He just noted how they had referred to him in having not figured self to be a dog. Perhaps that explained the small lack of handed similarities to other canine friend.

Humming as he observed his flexing paw, large ears perked at the second inquiry to come from the other. It was about his stone which had him recall the stones he just about left for this builded journey. Holding their question, Kyorai trotted over to where he dropped his items and returned a few seconds after. Purposely did he drop them to have a clattering noise come from them, licking lips with a light smile. "Yep! These are stones from where I first came from. My magical stone is right here," he stated, pulling head back to reveal his throat to them. Between where skull and neck met will be where iolite stone was wedged. Fur coated around it well enough so that it did not bother the puppy whenever skin rubbed on it. "Where's yours? It'll help to know so you can start using magic as well!" he explained, remembering how dragon friend taught him how to conjure his first spell with simply locating and acknowledging his stone.
