She stumbled out of the cave. Rubbing at her eyes, Aquila stared up at the bright, just there moons for a while. It was a regular ritual disappearing into the night from her 'hive' and leaving her lusus behind in the dusk of a beginning night. She started out, giving her lusus a fleeting look before turning back to face the dark.

It made sense to check on her every once in a while, right? Daclus squinted as he pulled his sweatshirt on, the last rays of the sun still breaking across the horizon.
Sometimes he felt like Aquila needed a hand with everything, and that she was just fundamentally unaccustomed to her life.
The trek to her hive wasn't that hard in theory. Of course in actuality there were trees everywhere and suddenly he wasn't quite sure where he was. When he popped through an especially thick cluster of trees, he basically ran right into her.

It took a long moment for her to realize she'd been run into and when she had, she was already flat on her backside. That whole incident had been accompanied by a high-pitched squeak that she dragged out a bit longer than unnecessary. The moments that she took to regain her bearings were much longer.
But then she was rubbing her shoulder, staring up at Daclus in shock. "Daclus?"

Picking himself off the ground, Daclus immediately thrust a hand out to help her up. Words were already falling out of his mouth far too quickly to be understood fully. "Wow I'm so sorry Aquila are you okay that was 100% my fault."

Blinking at first, she eventually reached out and grabbed his hand. It took a little more effort to vault herself up. She stumbled a bit, trying to find balance to stand up straight.
Furrowing her eyebrows and trying to catch his words, she caught the end of it. "I'm fine, it's okay... What doing here?" Aquila squinted at him in confusion.

"Okay good. I was hoping to run into you, but not uh... so literally." Rubbing his elbow, Daclus gave her a nervous smile. "I just kind of wanted to drop in and say hi I guess. Uh... so, how are you?"

"Heh," she offered a smile small after the laugh. "That's fine!" Now that was she balanced she gave him a once over before crossing her arms. "Fine, think it's been kinda quiet lately?"
"What about Daclus? How you?"

"I'm good. It's been a while since I stopped by, hasn't it?" He grinned at her, scratching at the back of his neck. "Yeah, not much is happening right now. It's all just business as usual I guess. Everyone's just waiting for the game to start."

She nodded. "Yes, very long time," a twist of her head and she was obviously looking back at her hive before she went back to looking at him. "Too long, careful of ma."
There was a pause and then she smiled wider at him. "Game start soon?"

"Well, hopefully. The idea is to get things started as soon as possible, but some people aren't being very cooperative." Daclus crossed his arms over his chest and made a face. "So uh, you were going out to do something? Don't let me stop you."

"Oh," she pressed her lips forward, apparently musing something before setting a more amused look on her face. "Was just stepping out, just woke up? I not like being confined to cave all night.." She shrugged, letting her arms drop and swing a bit.

"Oh! Well okay. You wanna go do something then?" Suddenly beaming, Daclus pointed down towards a distant circle where no trees grew. "There's a herd of hoofbeasts passing through, and they've got babies. You wanna go check it out?"

"Sure!" Aquila blinked in surprise before moving from foot to foot and glancing to where he had pointed. "Never saw baby hoofbeast before.... Cute?"

"Yeah, they're a lot bigger than you would think though!" He grinned, holding a hand out. "Come on, I'll show you."

"Oh!" Aquila smiled and reached out to take his hand. "Yeah, let see them! Go go go!"
