Madiquel was exuberant in her excitement, chattering away without pause from the moment she’d found R’dare. She’d originally wanted to go ack to the cave with R’dal, but he’d been busy when she asked, and suggested ‘Dare as company, and a chance to surprise him with their discovery, and tell him all about it later. In too good of a mood to be sullen about a change in companions, Madiquel had darted off to find R’dare, and secret him away to the hidden cove where she and R’dal had spied a cave hiding in the rocks a few days ago. Madiquel was delighted, and slid excitedly off the blue dragon before R’dare could even undo her straps like he usually did for her.
“C’mon!” She begged, back tracking to her friend and grabbing the hand not petting his dragon. “We can nap and swim later!” Or any day, really! She didn’t mention it, but she had a feeling the little path to the cave would get flooded when the tide came in. It was on the way out at the moment, revealing a path of no doubt slippery stones to hop across. Not letting go of R’dare’s hand, she pit all her weight against him until he gave and she could drag him towards the start of the path. “I’ll go first!” She said, all excitement once more. “Don’t slip!” The rocks looked slippery, some of them covered in shells and seaweeds.
Letting go of R’dare’s hand reluctantly – she didn’t know his fear, but she could read his hesitation – Madiquel carefully moved to the first stepping stone, and jumped onto it, wobbling as her balance shifted, and she bent forward to catch herself on her fingertips. Balance reclaimed, she flashed a smile over her shoulder before moving to hop onto the next rock. It got easier as she went, and she made it to the entrance without any major issues. Turning around, she grinned at R’dare and gestured for him to join her. Then she slipped into the entrance of the cave, and looked around curiously.
The entrance was large, but it tampered into a smaller path towards the back, which promised a corridor to… somewhere. Madiquel grinned, and dug out a small carry case that had a handful of glows in it, holding it up so they illuminated the area. She moved towards the back of the cave, and peered into the corridor. It was definitely big enough for her, and R’dare should fit without doing any more than maybe sucking his belly in, if even that. He might need to duck a little though, she decided, holding her hand up as if to measure his height against the tunnel.
“In here! C’mon!” And without waiting to see if he was following, she set off down it.
