New territory was everywhere. So much to see, explore, and find. After spending a share of her time in Orion, it became time to travel once more. Today, her destination became Canis. Bones, big and small, littered the ground and appeared all around. Where they came from, Giga could only guess. She strode along on her feet, still having been unable to accomplish more than gliding, yet. He feathers were molting into a shining black, head feathers beginning to cloak her face. The smell of rot drew her into a small chamber, a dead rabbit half eaten and left. Checking over her shoulder for it's likely hunter, she found no one around. Bouncing over it and around, facing outside the chamber now, she placed a clawed foot onto the carcass and began devouring the aged flesh. Luckily it wasn't old enough to obtain a large amount of bugs. She wasn't too fond of squirming maggots, but the rest were quite alright. Perhaps it was half an hour that pass; she wasn't sure, time was not of importance, to her. The last of the bones were picked clean, the grease and membranes left behind on the bones for whatever beetles might desire it. She wandered from the chamber and found a perch on a rock protruding from the ground. One good look around before preening her wings. Gigatsuhali found this day to be slow and quiet. A yawn stretched her mouth, then clicked shut. She looked at the silence as a good sign, as it meant she had no one she needed to heal. With a ruffle of her feathers, she settled down onto her perch a bit more and watched the world around her, pondering if any wandered this part of the caves. ---- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: words

The young marmoset had been wandering like a mindless zombie until he found himself here. His tail was tightly wrapped around the stones that came across the roof, allowing him full view of the small, bone-filled room. He had lost his grip at some points but always found his way back to stability, not hindered at the danger of his anticts. He was not interested in anything else in the cavern but the animate vulture, his squinting yellow eyes intriqued at the vulture who seemed to be at loss. She needed help? Guidence? It was the first living thing he'd seen after Cayenne, so he was interested to see how she would compare to the righteous lemur. He was... judging her, per say. He was trying to find a new endeavour, in his limited surroundings that restricted his movements, as a new gembround. He stared at Gigatsuhali's feathers, tempted to pull them out.
Without revealing himself he bellowed,
"W-hy do you yawn?... t-there's always something to do!"

Silently paws trailed over the cavern's floor. Careful to avoid the puddles of shallow water that seemed to fill up any divots within the floor. Hardened Sapphire eyes were kept focused ahead as Cure finally made her return home. For a few days she had spent a decent amount of time with Eridanus. Spending time with Cayenne and learning all the lemur had to offer her. She had even spent time with Arkrael before she finally decided it was probably time to return home. There was no doubt that her parents could potentially be worried about her sudden absence. But even before them there was Xerxes. She had left him here without word as well, but she knew it had to be done. She had to make that journey on her own.

For a moment a soft glow gripped at her eyes, her horns mimicking the soft glow as she called upon here magic. She knew she could easily just walk around and find her father, or mother, but she had decided she would much rather just locate them easily. Though, just as quickly as the glow of magic came, it vanished. Leaving Cure with nothing but annoyance in her thoughts. 'Oh well...' Her thoughts mumbled as she continued her way. It was then that she heard a voice call out and for a moment Cure wondered if it had been directed towards her.

It wasn't long before her gaze fell upon an avian she had never seen before. Curiosity set in and Cure diverted her direction and headed towards the bird. "Was that you?" She questioned gently, lowering herself down to sit upon her haunches. Quickly she looked the vulture over and decided that it didn't seem like she was part of the bonebound, but then again she could be wrong. "Are you new around here?" The question was asked, if only just to get the bird to say something to see if the voice she had heard belonged to the avian or not.

A small voice caught her attention, eyes peering about curiously, only to find loneliness. She was confused even further when a feline wandered before her and questioned if it had been her. So clearly, neither made the comment about yawning. Gigatsuhali responded first with a shake of her head, then spoke sweetly, "No, it wasn't me." She smiled at the lovely dark cat, sensing goodness about her. Her feathers ruffled a bit, then relaxed. "I am! I followed Ashtoreth and her friend to the tunnel that connects here from Orion." A tilt of her head indicated curiosity. "I am Gigatsuhali Yinehi. What is your name, if I may ask?" ---- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: words @Cure | @Fritz

The proprieter of the voice was undeterred by the creature's failure to hear him and he cusped his hands around his mouth, shouting again, "H-heyy!" This caused a little bit of an echo, scaring some of some little ungembounds and compelling them to scatter. He ignored this, however and proceeded to watch the pair through squinted eyes to see if they would react - they looked like they would be worthwhile company, if he could only 'charm' his way around them. Yes. Find a way to gracefully approach them and make a good impression to the more experienced gembounds - perfect.

As he continued to hang upside down for a longer period of time, he felt blood run a little to his head, creating an onset of nausea. Due to his unfamiliarity of this sensation, he felt his tail's grip loosen. Without warning he lost control of this grip and fell into the bone pile beneath him only causing a trifle of sound at impact due to his size and weight. As he submerged under the pile, all he could see was black. It did not occur to him what all these were though - wouldn't have known what they were anyway. What made it worse was that it was difficult to navigate himself above the weight to reach the surface and so he just dealt with blindly pressing forward, going to where the most light seemed to get through. An observant eye could probably see the bones shifting above his small figure as he attempted to move about.

After a few false paths, he quickly persued a strong light and before he knew it, his head stuck out of the pile, looking like a creature who had just woken up from a cycle long slumber. Glancing around, he noted that the area he had found himself in seemed to bejust behind the vulture. Additionlly from this angle he could clearly see Cure and with that logic, maybe they could see him. Shaking his head a bit to get the blurr from his vision, he resorted to whispering loudly, "Ya' two l-look cool. Are ya' two i-important people in t-this place?"

Ears jumped into attention as the name of her dear Ashteroth fell from this avian's beak. A happy grin spread over her features before she hummed thoughtfully. If Ash was friends with this avian, then Cure would surely find herself having another friend as well. Gigatsuhali was the avian's name and Cure found herself repeating the word mentally just so she made sure to remember it. Slowly her long leopard tail flicked side to side, her curiosity brimming to the surface. When the avian requested her name, Cure opened her muzzle to introduce herself properly, but another voice beat her too it.

Cure nearly jumped from her seat before her gaze swung up and search the ceiling. Nothing. It wasn't until she heard a crash just behind Giga did she quickly turn her searching gaze to the rubble the creature had fallen into. "Oh wow, are you okay?" Cure's brows furrowed as she rose to her paws and padded closer to the new creature that had quite literally crashed into the area. In a sigh of relief that the creature was okay and only began to speak again Cure found herself sitting right back down. "I am a member of the BoneBound. A group that takes claim of this area, but I am nothing important, no," She answered the little creature before returning her gentle gaze back to the vulture. "My name is Cure Karkata, daughter of Amaria and Carcino. It is wonderful to meet you," She finally introduced herself properly, tipping her head in a polite bow to the avian.

"Ashteroth is my friend as well! I haven't seen her in a few days though," Cure hummed thoughtfully before shrugging it off and grinning. She would have to go check in on her friend soon. "And what's your name, little one?" She soon inquired of the marmoset.
