AURELIA
It is mid-sentence that he questions where they've traveled to. She blinks, a blank expression shrouding her face as she simply watches him awkwardly. Where are they? The walls had narrowed, covered in a thin layer of slick moistness. Her muzzle stretches to feel the cold stone beside her burning body, the fire covering her snout cracking and hissing and weaking in response, relighting as she withdraws from the wetness. "Let's get out of here," she demands, a slight feeling of anxiousness beginning to ruin her perfectly cultivated high. She knew only 4 things about being lost in caves: 1, make a prominent mark as a 'base' mark and from there venture around, returning to that point every once in a while, 2, YELL, 3, listen for any sounds, 4, find any air currents- they may hint towards an inlet or outlet direction. She couldn't quite form any of this advice into horribly slurred words, so she began silently working. She began shifting loose footing into a sort of makeshift pile in front of her- base mark, done. After this, she begins to neigh, listening to the echoes and dead silent reponse. Sound would not help them out of their predicament, she was sure. Her eyes flutter upwards, watching the smoke cascade from the flames on her body and waft slowly in the air before sluggishly moving one direction. Aurelia, though not a book-smart mare at all, did have common sense and a basic grasp on a wide variety of topics. She knew random facts of knowledge, though if asked would surely never be able to answer a complex mathematics problem, or identify different herbs, or be able to break down and analyze fighting techniques. She was a jack of all trades, but a master of none. She began walking the opposite direction that the smoke did (for if the smoke was going south, let's say, the entrance of the cave had to be in a northernly direction for the wind to push the smoke in this direction.) It all made sense in her mind. "I think we go this way," she gestured with her snout the direction she had decided was correct before shimmying around and heading off. Still there were two things she was oblivious too: 1, her company only saw her as a fat, floppy bunny, and 2, the drugs easily could give her a false sense of knowledge and she could be unknowingly leading them further (only time would tell). Many would advise Rixen not to trust Aurelia, for she was coniving and decietul, but in this moment, Aurelia was the only one who had put forth true effort to get them out- what choice did Rixen really have? light is easy to love show me your darkness |
