Lol @ the Echo :’)
Rock bottom, that was the best way to describe the mood he was currently in. His whole body still ached from his recent fight and he was stuck recuperating in the caves, which was the same as being sentenced to die from boredom he thought. Initially the caves had truly fascinated him as they do for most newcomers, but after a few days he had worked his way round and figured out the puzzle that is the caves. There were a few areas he had yet to completely get his head around, especially the deeper tunnels, but they were too far into the caves for him to access with injured legs and so he was now trying to find a way to kill time. So far today he had cleaned his personal space 3 times and wondered through the nearby caves twice and he refused to clean his room again which left him the option of going for a small walk through the caves. Again.
This is the price one pays for being anti-social he taunted himself, you make no friends then you have no one to spend your time with, how lonely is that? Sighing he shrugged of the teasing thoughts he was directing at himself and concentrated on walking. As he distanced himself from his candle lit room he was swallowed up by the dark tunnel, his mixed grey-toned coat blending into the rocky walls of the caves.
Eventually he made his way up to the large common room, stopping just short of the entrance. Before him he saw a stranger, he was sure he had not encountered the wolf before. A newcomer? he questioned as he studied the wolf. She was white with unusual markings and odd eyes, both of which gave her character, but character or not he did not recognise her and was about to confront her, then she spoke.
Or rather, she shouted ‘Echo’, the sound bouncing and resonating through the room. Seeing the childish side to the unknown female Key couldn’t help but smile, he’d been dying to do that ever since he first saw the room but had so far resisted temptation.
Stepping out into the room he shouted “Hello” and listened to the sound echo throughout the room.
