[SSS] Exploration

Goldfish watches the smaller white cat follow after them, the two cats loop around the large tree in the middle of the clowder’s large cave-camp. The light from above the tree filters through the leaves and settles dimly throughout the large cave covered in various plantlife. 

“Thank you for coming with me! Father doesn’t like to let us explore alone even though there’s never any danger here.” The young tom yowls excitedly. 

This one certainly didn't inherit his father’s calm demeanor. Oh well, children are typically excited to go out. 

“You’re welcome.” Goldfish hums. “You never know when danger could rear its head, especially in an enclosed space like this.” 

The voidling probably won't heed their warning, but Goldfish can say they at least tried. It’s true that they’ve not heard any warnings of anything inside the clowder’s reach, but it’s a cave… There’s a lot of predators that could make their way inside. The clowder is lucky that there hasn’t been any thus far. 

“You’re just like them!” The voidling huffs. “Why would something happen now?” 

Goldfish sticks out a paw, sending Ice Watcher tripping over them. 

“HEY! That’s mean!” The curly haired cat’s tail puffs up in frustration. 

Goldfish chuckles at him. “How do you expect to run from danger if you can’t even see a paw?” 

They help the voidling up and push them on their way, continuing to move through the roots.
