He hadn't ventured into the caves before, but for some reason, they seemed to beckon the small boy forth. His dainty paws led him on a path inward and through the various tunnels until there was a scent that caught his attention. His nose turned upward to give a few more sniffs of the stagnant air. The smell was of a creature, that much he could tell, but the boy had never smelled it before.

It is curiosity that tugged him onward, long hair glided across the stone floor. The trail of the scent would be his guide. Each step seemed to bring him closer as it grew stronger. There was a soft hum that emitted from his closed mouth. A gentle sound to keep away the silence- Jim didn't like the quiet.

After all that had been happening, and so quickly, recently, he needed a little time away from the oasis. Away from the many eyes of his family. Desert sand turned to solid stone, and then the enveloping dark and silence of the caverns. Here, he finally breathed deep in relief, some knot of tension slowly unraveling - only to form again almost immediately when the scent of Andal hit him. His steps faltered, Elio trying to find any trace of family within the scent, and then sighing when he determined it wasn't any sibling.

When he got further inside, the humming reached him, and folded ears perked forward, curious. "Hello?" he spoke before he thought about it, though soft, his voice bouncing off the walls and echoing off into the distance. He'd been hoping to get away from the pride entirely, but at least the scent didn't seem to match anyone he'd actually met yet.

The boy had fallen into a relaxed walk. His steps were slow and unplanned. Dainty paws lead no particular way as he roamed the corridors of stone. He was happy enough that he was able to keep from stepping on his hair at the given moment. A face plant on such a hard surface would surely hurt. His hum continued on until the halls gave way to an open cavern.

Just as he found it his eyes darted upward and the hum stopped as he spotted the creatures up above. It would seem he found the source of the scent. Behind him the hello caught him off guard, even if it was hushed and softened. It came from further back and Jimson strained his eyes over his shoulder to try and see in the dark. "Shhhhh--" His own noise was cut off as sounds of screeching took over the cavern itself.

All around him, the black-winged rats swarmed about before some fled off down the hall he had just come from. His own paws reached out to try and swat at the ones that had flown close to his face., forgetting for the moment about whoever it was that he had tried to hush.

His cautious greeting was met by an urge to shush, and Elio frowned lightly, not immediately understanding. Until the screeching started. Pale eyes widened and the boy flattened himself to the cavern floor as a cloud of squeaking shadows zipped over him, "OH!" forepaws came up to cover his head, and he'd stay that way for a moment even after the noise faded into the distance.

Cautiously, he'd pick himself back up off the ground and edge forward where the sounds of more flapping and squeaking could be heard. The rest of the flock (was that the word he wanted?) seemed to have remained in the chamber, and so Elio would be treated to his first experience with bats. Little skin-winged not-birds. And a younger stranger batting at them. "A-are you okay?" Were they good? Not in need of help? Could he just continue to watch from the safety of the entrance rather than actually go in there with the flappy things?
