"Oh yes.. of course the Akails.." Yume stopped talking for a short while, but it didn't take long for him to start again, he made sure to whisper as quietly as he could though as he nattered on some more. In the background Maji rolled her eyes and giggled to herself at Zeira's poor luck that the Yonyuu had decided to accompany her. She could have shut him up easily but was feeling a bit raw at having been abandoned by him when he was supposed to be her best friend, so she let him continue and waited with malicious glee for the moment when he would be told to be quiet again knowing it would both upset him and remind him that his place was with her and no-one else.

Zeira gave an exasperated sigh as the yonyuu continued talking, but otherwise stayed quite. For one of the raretimes in her teen-ageish life, the werecain was in a great mood on a fun adventure to meet some creepy beast that might eat them all. She knew as soon as she let the yonyuu's talking get the best of her, the rare moment would be over.
If anyone was about to snap at Yume, it was Gail. She was now falling behind even Maji, looking a bit worried. She wouldn't admit it, but she was just a little claustraphobic. And the cave did seem to be getting narrower. It wouldn't be quite so bad if Yume stopped talking. It would make there less echoes to remind her how small the area was.
You may call, you may call
But the little black cats won't hear you.
The little black cats are maddened
By the bright green light of the moon;
They are whirling and running and hiding,
They are wild who were once so confiding,
They are crazed when the moon is riding
You will not catch the kittens soon.
They care not for saucers of milk,
They think not of pillows of silk;
Your softest, crooningest call
Is less than the buzzing of flies.
They are seeing more than you see,
They are hearing more than you hear,
And out of the darkness they peer.
With a goblin light in their eyes!

"I've never really met any Werecains before, we don't have any at home, you're a very interesting looking species.. I was so jealous when I couldn't come on the first Akail hunt.. and your colouring is so bright! and blades? on your tails? that's so weird!.." Yume continued to whisper by Zeira constantly switching subject making his conversation very jumpy.

As Gail had dropped behind Maji she had glared at the Draculi - yet another reminder of the new feline back at the zoo. But now she kept glancing back at Gail and noted that she didn't seem particularly happy herself, her tail was twitching to and fro and she had a slightly wild look in her eyes like she was on drugs or something. All of a sudden Maji wanted Yume to keep talking she had a feeling this was part of the reason the Draculi wasn't happy and that she might break at any moment; which would be most entertaining to see.

Gail saw  the fenling look back at her. The look in Maji's eyes was not all together friendly, and Gail didn't like it one bit. The thing was, snapping for the duraculi wasn't going crazy. Snapping was making sure everyone else knew you weren't happy. So she penned her ears back and the sound of an angry cat excaped her throught. A low warning moan. She didn't care who she was  'growling' at. Whether it was the fenling, or the overly talkitive yonyuu, or the cave itself, or herself for coming.
Zeira twiched her ears back to the sound Gail was making "Gail...? I think the path opens up to a room ahead..."

Maji chuckled quietly at the sound of Gail's 'growl' before her attention was grasped by the information that the tunnel looked like it turned into a larger room like area. Ahead of her Yume skipped in front of Zeira and planted himself squarely in the passage, aiming to cause everyone to stop so he could check for danger first. Ignoring whether the others had stopped or not Yume moved forward to the end of the tunnel his tail swishing from side to side and his head low, he pricked up his large ears and swivelled them slowly from side to side whilst gazing around the 'room' with his glowing eyes taking note of any sounds he heard or signs he saw.

Gail instantly calmed as it was proved that the cave was, infact, broadining. Saved the others another day, at least.
Zeira sighed. Having both the claustraphobic feline, Gail, and the presently feline hating Maji, along with the hyperactive yonyuu was not going to help this adventure stay exciting for long. She felt like the only mature one there, but didn't say anything as Gail walked up beside her. "Find anything?" She called to Yume, you appeared to be searching around for signs of life and/or danger.

Yume abruptly bounded out into the 'room' signaling that either he hadn't sensed any immediate threat or that he was truly insane. "Water! I hear water.. in the distance.. drip, drip, drip! And marks on the floor!" He stopped jumping around and placed himself over some odd scrapes and dust trails wagging his tail like a pup waiting to be petted or rewarded for his work.
Maji picked her way over the debris covering the stone floor and looked around herself she could see one main tunnel leading off from the room which was much larger than the one they had just come from, as well as a second much smaller side tunnel.

Zeira followed Maji and looked around as well. There were multiple side tunnels, but Gail would refuse to go to the small one which might cause some splitting up. "Which way were the tracks and the water?"
Gail approached slowly behind the others to look around for herself.

((Kinda lame post, sorry.))

Yume took up his listening stance again and moved around the cave by each tunnel entrance so he could pinpoint which one it was coming from. Once he had completed a round of the 'room' he sat down tail still wagging and sweeping up a cloud of dust, "Big tunnel has tracks, little tunnel has water!" he stated seemingly unaware of the dust and dirt he was stirring up and how thickly his fur was already coated with it (although that could turn out to be useful as it had the added effect of hiding his vibrant markings somewhat). Maji however scrambled quickly back into the tunnel they had come from so as to stay out of the way and not get dirty, her exit was somewhat undignified and she glowered at Yume from far in the tunnel where only her eyes could be seen shining out, cursing him for causing her to make a potential fool of herself.

Gail looked back at the fenling and smirked. Ooh, it appeared that they would have somewhat of a rivalry here. Not that Gail enjoyed getting the dust all over her, though. Truthfully, as a feline, she absolutely loathed it. But she would not be found to have something in common with the fenling that sneered at her uncomfort.
Zeira nodded as Yumi spoke. She was starting to get irratated with this whole thing, but they were out there, they might as well continue. "We are looking for something that leaves tracks. Anyone dieing of thirst, speak up now, or else we are going through the big tunnel."

Yume stopped wagging his tail and cocked his head thoughtfully before deciding that he didn't really need a drink quite yet, besides they were bound to find more sources of water further on in the caves "Nope, i'm fine!".

Maji was actually a little thirsty, probably due to the thick dusty air, but she wasn't about to give Gail any more reasons to laugh at her, she had seen the Draculi smirk when she fled into the tunnel the feline would probably think her weak for being the only thirsty one. So although it also meant she lost out on the chance to see how Gail would react to the even smaller tunnel Maji kept quiet and once the dust had settled down she strode defiantly back into the room taking care to ignore the Draculi and gave Zeira a curt shake of her head in response to her question.

"All right then..." Zeira mumbled under her breath as she began to lead down the larger tunnel. The cold war that had started was getting pretty obvious, and pretty annoying too. At least having a claustraphobic, short-tempered duraculi and an evil fenling with a grudge against felines provided something interesting while they walked these rock tunnels that were, so far, empty.
Gail saw that no one wanted to go down the small tunnel for a drink, and mentally sighed with releif. If they had, she would've stayed out in this 'room'. Then maybe she'd be the only one to meet up with the Akail. Wouldn't that be something?

Yume sprang after Zeira shaking his coat a bit and causing another much smaller dust cloud. Maji waited for the dust to settle before following them head held high and eyes as slits, as she walked she considered ways that would enable her to make up for her previous embarrassment or failing that to make the feline do something even more embarrassing. Several ideas popped into her head like causing Gail to trip up or get lost but she quickly rejected those ideas, she thought it likely that being a feline Gail would have incredibly good balance so it would be hard to cause her to trip, especially in such a way that the others would see it happen, and the tunnels were not complex enough to get easily lost in. Finally she settled on finding somewhere to hide and leaping out at the Draculi when she least expected it, this would hopefully have the added affect of causing her to yell out too. The fenling gained a little spring in her step as she began searching for good places to carry out her plan.

Zeira padded along quitely. The whole group seemed to have gone silent. Even the Yonyuu wasn't talking. Atleast, not right this second. Pawsteps and shallow breaths echoed in the caves. It was almost kinda nice.
Gail trotted foward till she came instep right behind the werecain. Sure, she was nervious, but this cavern was wide, not bad at all. So she could compose herself and look sane for the time being.

Maji checked around carefully, trying to make sure that she didn't look like she was plannimg something; which was easy enough as she supposed Zeira and Gail would think she was just looking for Akail tracks or something, but Yume knew her much better than that, it was him she thought she really had to fool as he would stop her if he knew what she was up to. They had passed a couple of small holes in the rock walls just big enough for Maji to just about be able to squeeze into and one small high up ledge, she noted down everything she saw in case she didn't get to fulfil her plan until they returned back up the tunnel. Most importantly for her plan to work Maji needed to be ahead of Gail but preferably behind Zeira and Yume so picking up her pace she trotted up to keep instep with Gail and in line with her too, from here she could wait for the formation she required to happen and still scan ahead for likely ambush spots. By making regular sly glances at Yume she could see what he was up to and whether he suspected anything, oddly enough he currently seemed very intent on the mission at hand and hadn't uttered a peep for a while, this suited Maji for now as the oppressive silence would hopefully help to make her victim more nervous.
