He was far too gone to be saved now. Spiraling downwards at a steady rate until soon he would hit rock bottom. A toothy smile carved into the manics face as he pawed at the lifeless lesser gembound at his bloody paws. His maw, stained too with blood, dripped the liquid back onto the floor of the largest room, puddling at his feet. The cave deer was dead, been dead for some time. His first real kill in weeks, Ozias stood over it like he'd never eaten before. He wanted to protect his kill but eat it too. How could he protect it if he was busy eating it? Wild eyes darted around, pausing on the river, looking for anyone that threatened his meal. Satisfied he was alone, the man buried his face into the neck of the carcass, eager to begin his meal. Life away from Nova and the other gembounds didn't do anything to save him from the madness overcoming him. Although he wasn't clinically insane, he was off his rocker a bit. Solitude does this to pack animals, although Ozias was never one to enjoy many others company. Should Nova return from who or whatever kidnapped her, he wouldn't know what he'd do. He never knew a life without Nova until recently. Mostly skin and bones these days, the meal was very much worth the effort of catching and killing and protecting. Eating it made it even more worth the effort, as if he'd never eaten before. He could eat this entire cave deer, he thought, and mentally challenged himself to unless someone showed up before or during the process. They definitely weren't going to be met with a warm welcome, thats for sure. "Speech!" TABLE CODE © RASTA 2016

Well... This place is completely new, yet it sticks out like a sore thumb in comparison to the other parts of the caves.

Rina lets out a small huff at her limited thinking with seeing that she has in a way missed out on a lot of places to adventure from merely trying to constantly find areas that don't stick out, ones that do stick out have their charms as well. Remember... to adventure freely don't place in mental limitations, or her love for adventure will soon degenerate. With that she treads on forward, as she goes on the first thing she sees is that... beautiful crystal clear river as her eyes look on with awe, she quietly shuffled her paws towards the shore and slowly dragged her whole body down until she was sprawled half across a small aspect of the river and the other half on the shore with her now calmly engrossed in the lovely river that covers most of her vision.

Still... during the time she got closer a scent that caught her nose and made it twitch gave Rinaotei a bad vibe, which got stronger the closer she got to the shore. With that she lifts her head up out of her engrossment with the river, twitching her nose more as she continued she search out this ominous, but familiar scent that she realises is rather common to smell, like something is degenerating...

...

Wait! That smells like blood. Rina heads perks up even more alongside her ears, making her new earring swerve slightly at the sudden movement of her ears. While she knows that blood is common, but the cause could be worrying, she proceeds to stand back up slowly while sniffing again makes her realise the origin of it leads to across this river. She would hate to be rash, but... if someone might need help then......

Out of her thoughts she uncharacteristically without thinking leaps into the river, without consideration of the river's momentum that could just sweep her away. Quickly! her mind yells to herself as she drags her limbs in swimming with all her might as the scent got closer, she pulls on over to the other side of the river and finally gripping onto the closet rock that's on the other side of the shore on a corner of the land before the river can pull her away even more and quickly tries to climb back up. Come on... Come on, just leap up she thinks and with that she transfers the power in the back limbs and leaps quickly... OK good just barely made it, as she pants to regains her breath. That wasn't the most intelligent of ideas, Rina is unsure what came over her.

Glancing around with sniffing around again she realises how close the source is. She quietly treads to avert being detected and looks by a corner and finds the source. As she expected, blood lots of blood, which appears to be coming from a deer carcass with another canine towering over the deer that is spilling all that blood. Oh... Just another Gembound. While she does hate violence, this somewhat isn't really it's different from the usual violence, in the case of hunting and catching a meal it is a necessity. Finally concluding that the deer that's on the ground is for sure dead and is beyond saving, Rina decides to just go. Sure she'll have to pass this other canine as she doesn't want to risk getting swept by that river this time but what can she do? Sighing she walks on to go back to a spot where she can relax walking past the other in the other position with enough distance.

"Enjoy it..." She quietly hums to the other Gembound as she's about to leave.
