Hildur's Cave

"I still want to explore the rest of the cave, and we need to figure out what kind of things we'll need to live here. After that, though, today's pretty open." Hildur nuzzles her girlfriend's neck. "Anything you want to do, babe?"

[Beans]

[Cave]
Thryza giggles, nuzzling back.
Not that I can think of... as long as I'm with you I'm good! She stretches and grins.

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

"In that case, I don't think I want to leave the cave today," Hildur says before pulling Thyrza in for a kiss. "I just want to explore, then laze around with my amazing girlfriend."

[Beans]

[Cave]
Smiling, Thryza kisses Hildur's head. Wonder what we'll find in the cave...

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

"I don't know. Could be anything," Hildur says, turning her head to nibble at Thyrza's ear. "You wanna get out and go look?"

[Beans]

[Cave]
Giggling and squirming, the alchemist slips out of the water to dry.
Sure, I can't wait! She stretches, toned muscles flexing underneath her array of tattoos.

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

Hildur gets out as well, not bothering to hide her ogling as she dries herself off by creating some wind around.

[Beans]

[Cave]
Thryza draws a few quick symbols on the smooth, cool stone with her wet finger, calling her own hot wind to dry in.
Magic lesbian blowdryers!

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

Hildur doesn't make much haste in getting dressed, but this time she does put on her snow pants and jacket.

[Beans]

[Cave]
Thryza dresses all the way as well, even including her right hand's fingerless glove. Ready when you are!

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

Hildur nods and heads out of the spring room. "You have a light or something?"

[Beans]

[Cave]
Thryza digs out a flashlight with a grin, clicking it on.
Always prepared!

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

"I could learn a thing from you about being prepared," Hildur says as she starts heading down the unexplored portion of cave. The flashlight won't reveal much beyond a downward slope.

[Beans]

[Cave]
Thryza keeps going, interested and excited!

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

Hildur continues down the slope, which keeps going for some distance. It eventually opens up to a much larger cavern, with stalagtites coming from the roof dripping water. "Hey, I bet you'd have space for an alchemy lab."

"That's what I was asking. What can I get here? Like, could I say that all Maggie's troops miss when they fire at mine?" Riv stops to pour himself a shot, steam and the sound of sizzling rising up as the noxious stuff comes into contact with the glass.

Ah well. Figured 's much.

Tangentially related, if you're running your own little spy op over there it might be a good idea not to leave when the bullets start flying. See, by my estimation, Mags too smart to have all his eggs in one basket. He's got to have a second base out there. And I'd imagine that's where he'd evacuate the non-come to once things get bad. So, stick around, pretend to be helpless, and you might learn something interesting.

Perhaps. Can you give me an estimated time frame for when this attack will be?

"To a limited degree, yes. There's a bit of a time limit on how long the effects can last before the people who signed the contract start bleeding out of their noses. I think you could get ten minutes of not getting hit, then if you wanted more your'e going to bleed for it."

Hey, I have to keep these things from being too overpowered, there have to be some limits. Gordon wrinkles his nose at the smell of Riv's drink. That's an issue with being a dragon, you have a few senses that are improved and that can make some unpleasant things more unpleasant.

Hildur's Cave

Hildur continues down the slope, which keeps going for some distance. It eventually opens up to a much larger cavern, with stalagtites coming from the roof dripping water. "Hey, I bet you'd have space for an alchemy lab."

Thryza grins. Ooooh, yeah! We'll have to get that set up sometime!

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

"Yep, that's something for our list," Hildur says, as she continues into the cave, which continues to go further down.

[Beans]

[Cave]
Thryza keeps going, sticking close to her girlfriend with an excited grin.

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

As the two continue down, Thyrza might notice that Hildur is starting to look uncomfortable for some reason.

The section of cage they were in tapers off into another passage, this one long and winding.

[Beans]

[Cave]
The alchemist squeezes her girlfriend's hand. Hon, what's up? You okay, you wanna turn back?

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

"I'm okay, sweetie. It's just that the air's stiffer down here," Hildur says, leaning over to peck Thyrza's lips. "Guess we should find a way to get fans down here too."

[Beans]

[Cave]
Thryza nods, rubbing her back.
Of course we will, Hili.

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

"Thank you. But right now, let's keep going. I'll let you know id I need to turn back," Hildur says, squeezing Thyrza's hand.

[Beans]

[Cave]
Thryza grins and squeezes back as they venture deeper into the cave, staying close to the taller girl and looking around.

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

The passageway eventually ends in what looks like a cave-in, with several large boulders piled up and blocking the way.

[Beans]

[Cave]
Aw... well, at least there's still a good amount we just discovered, right?

[Devixer]

Hildur's Cave

"Yeah, we found quite a bit. I'd be able to clear this, too, if it wasn't so still here," Hildur says. Then she turns around. "Let's head back. We can come back here later with lights and stuff."
