Maji considered Zeira's question, "Well I think we only passed on more side tunnel to check... So unless we find another main tunnel from the entrance cavern, it won't take us much longer to finish our expedition... maybe we should check a little bit further and then turn back. After that we can check the final side tunnel and look for more in the cavern?".

Maji really hoped they would find something soon, they had been searching these caverns for so long now, that it was starting to seem very likely that they were on a wild roosken chase.

((Gah! Short!))

Zeira nodded. Sounded sencible. Enough. It wasn't as if they were even started exploring the long winding tunnels that dominated this underground area. But this place proved hopeful, so the werecain continued walking down it.
Ever so slightly, the tunnel widened and the slope turned into a gentle climb. There wasn't much to see in it, though it was pretty dark and hard to tell. "Doesn't look like much here..." She told the Fenling
((Join the club XD))

[AnimeTheia]

"You're right" Maji agreed, "We're starting to climb, so this might just be another exit?".

She turned to face they way that had come and sped off back down the tunnel, without even telling Zeira or waiting for her. Reaching the main tunnel she continued running until she reached what seemed to be the last side tunnel off of this particular tunnel 'branch', surprisingly she actually sat down by the start of the tunnel either waiting for Zeira or simply because she had a sudden need to clean her fur, and indeed she was now fully occupied with licking and preening one of her four tails.

[Knightdaniru]

((That post made Maji sound like my dog XD))
The fenling replied and ran off. Zeira knew where Maji was going, so she didn't bother trying to catch up, but just took her time walking behind, She was trying not to wish for a nap or something right now. There was one more side tunnel for them to check, and hopefully they would find something in there. The werecain was not even considering the idea of living here till they found one, so they would have to find one of those darn creatures before it turned from a vacation to a residency or just give up. And Zeira didn't really want to give up. It just wasn't her. Unless someone she was trying to go against told her not to give up. Then she would just to spite them. But she wasn't really in that situation now, so she wouldn't have to worry about it.
She finially found Maji, seated infrount of the tunnel grooming. Desiding against starting down the other tunnel, the werecain slumped down beside the fenling, hoping for a bit of rest before Maji desided her presence here ment time to keep on goin'.

[AnimeTheia]

Zeira finally appeared, Maji was only on the second of her tails by this point and was perfectly happy to remain where she was until she had at least finished preening the other two as well, and then she may just feel like she had to completely finish the job and groom the rest of her fur too.

As it turned out she did completely groom herself, not being one for leaving things half done, especially not something so important as being clean. A good half hour or so had passed by the time she had finished, she looked over at Zeira to see what she had been up to during this time, it seemed to Maji as though Zeira looked a bit tired.

[Knightdaniru]

Zeira blinked sleepily as she saw Maji stir. An hour? She'd seen worse, but still... And boredom put a 'cain to sleep, no doubt.
"You finially done?" Zeira asked, standing up and streatching. "We could go on, now."
The new cave was wider than the last one. At first glance, Zeira couldn't really tell if it held anything of interest, but she kinda doubted it did. Why would they only use one branch of a main cave when all others were untouched? It was just a little odd...

[AnimeTheia]

Maji stretched langourously as she got up, cocking her head at Zeira in a 'What's the problem with you?' kind of way, Hmph she thought It's not like she wouldn't have enjoyed her nap.

She followed Zeira into the last side tunnel at a sedate pace, looking about for any signs of Akails, it did seem unlikely that they would finally find the Akails' lair here, they would have a better chance if they managed to find other tunnels from the entrance cavern, but nonetheless they needed to check every where, otherwise it would turn out that the one place they didn't check was where the lair was.

[Knightdaniru]

Zeira was slightly annoyed by the fenling's questioning glance, but said nothing as they continued down the tunnel. They didn't go down nearly as far as the last one, but the Werecain was seeing no signs of life. It seemed this main tunnel was a dead end.
"Let's head back up toward the entrance and find another main tunnel." She told the fenling simply, turning to return the way they'd come.

((Ugh. Horribly short. Sorry...))

[AnimeTheia]

Maji had been following a short way behind the Werecain, sniffing around the edges, not that she even knew what an Akail smelled like or anything, but she seemed to think it was a good hunting technique.

They had only been in the tunnel for a short time when Zeira announced that they should find a new tunnel branch to search. Maji waited for Zeira to walk past her so that she could lead the way, before heading back towards the entrance cavern herself. She was getting more and more disappointed each time they explored a new area and found nothing, or found something but that something was too old to be of use.

They arrived back at the entrance cavern quickly, "Lets split up and take half the cave each, that way we can quickly see how many other tunnel branches there are left to explore" Maji suggested.

((Maybe after a couple more posts (as I can't start another RP quite yet) we should end this RP and start a fresh one? As I don't think RE2 likes to go into such long RP's, also that way we could introduce some fresh characters as make it a bit more interesting - i'm thinking they can spend a few posts finding more tunnels, then agree to regroup another day))

[Knightdaniru]

It didn't take long for them to reach the main cave, and Zeira was quite happy to see even the faintest trickle of sunlight. The fenling glanced around and came up with her idea.
Splitting up? Only for the current cave, it sounded quite reasonable, so Zeira agreed. "It shouldn't take too long"
The Werecain moved to turn towards one wall and check it for branches. Surely there wouldn't be too many more.

((Sorry short post. That would probably be fine, but just to warn you, I'm going on a family trip over thanksgiving week, and while I'm sure I'll get some internet access, I don't know exactly how much, unless I get my phone back by then.))

[AnimeTheia]

Maji took the opposite side of the cavern, she took her time looking around, the first tunnel she came across was surprisingly well hidden, it was far back in a nook in the deep shadows, she mentally put it on her list.

The fenling picked her way delicately over small boulders and through large stones, casting about with her bright eyes. It seemed like there weren't many other tunnels, she had almost made it to the cavern entrance and had still only found the one tunnel so far.

((Okay... um when exactly is Thanksgiving week? -Is English and we don't have Thanksgiving    )

[Knightdaniru]

Zeira hadn't found many tunnels by the time she made it back to the entrance. Only two fairly obvious ones. She almost betted that Maji had more luck than her, but wasn't normally into the whole betting business so she didn't really worry about that.
Maji was almost to the entrance, obviously giving the search more thought and care than Zeira had. Which was probably a good thing, but Zeira didn't have the patiance to do such. So she waited for the fenling near the entrance, ready to ask about the other's luck with this search.
((XD Sorry. Should probably learn to remember that this is a site with people from different places. Its just this coming week. We're probably heading out friday, so for the first two days, and the last few when we're in the car is when I'm most worried about being able to get on.))

[AnimeTheia]

Maji finished searching her side of the cavern, she had only found two tunnels in the end, one of which looked like it was pretty short, more of a long cave than a tunnel - but they would find out whether it was or not when they got around to exploring it.

She joined back up with Zeira at the entrance and stretched herself out to bask in the sun that was coming through the cave entrance, thinking that even if she only got to bask briefly it was worth it.

((Sooo short!! Okay that's fine, at least i'll know you haven't forgotten or anything )

[Knightdaniru]

Before long, Maji had caught up with her at the entrace to the caverns. Zeira, who was resing again herself, followed the fenling with her eyes as Maji laid in the entrace. "Any luck?" The werecain asked.
She wasn't going to jump to getting back into the shade, and for ones who weren't used to spending their time deep in caves, sunlight was like one of those sticky things humans use to catch pesky bugs.
So she wanted to know the information collected before it was actually put to use.
((Yeah. Thats why I told you It shouln't be too much of a problem, though, 'cause I'm going to see a cousin who's an active member here and if overnight shipping works like they say it does, I should be able to get my good phone that I can use to get on.))

[AnimeTheia]

Maji looked up at Zeira, "Only two, and one looks like it may not go far" she stretched and sat up "Did you find any?". She hoped that Zeira had found some, but not too many at the same time, she may be enjoying herself on this expedition but she didn't plan on staying here forever, and judging by the last tunnel branch they had just finished searching each new one could (and most likely would) take them hours to check.

(Gah, I think my muse ran away today..)
