Pride's returning chuckled was easygoing, and he nodded, the substantial rack of antlers catching the light and silvering it there. "I understand, yes. The caves are large. It must be a... almost an intimidating prospect?" he suggested. "But I do recommend it. There is quite a lot to see, and every cave offers its own form of beauty. You mean to say you have not yet seen Pegasus?" he went on, a little more seriously, looking and sounding surprised.
"If you get the chance, I'd go there--it is a long, vast valley of meadow, with a river running through it, and mountainous terrain filled with beautiful forest up to either side. It is very open, and fresh--bright. There's plenty to eat and drink there. Some of my older friends moved there from Orion--you might see them, there. James, and his entire family--he is a horse with wings. And near Pegasus is Cepheus, if you have the time. It is... different; the light is unnatural, but there are gardens there, and a palace. You need to go through Cepheus to get to Pegasus anyway, I suppose," he added, smiling a little. "And Pisces, if you ever get the chance... the waterfall is beautiful, and if Tenzin is about, he is quite a kind soul."
He glanced off to one side, thinking. A moment's focus, and he'd created a simple image formed of ghostly lights: a view of the ever-blooming tree in Cepheus, and then its palace. "This is Cepheus--apologies for the faltering magic," and he wished he could sort of shake it to fix it, but the image was already fading. He offered a glimpse of Pegasus, instead--again fleeting, but a display at least of waving grasses, a gurgling river and trees beyond, all bright with natural-like light. "And Pegasus." Pisces, he tried for, but the magic faltered and he shrugged, smiling back to Spark.
"I think it is a good thing to broaden your horizons. Tell me--do you have any other goals, as yet?" he asked, his voice curious. Some Gembounds seemed to have a life's purpose, a goal they chose--and others seemed to wander. Both were fine by him--but he was curious how Spark lived their life.
Conversation gradually wound down, and Pride settled in. He felt warm, content; knowing one's family, he felt, was so desperately important, at least in part so that none of them were ever alone.
