mindremanent | i was born for this [Journey™]

[ah! the white cloak chirps in recognition, though it's been some time since she's seen her last. still, as the red cloak's fellow companion, she is happy to show him the sights and places. but at his pace and at his own discovery.

so, she will just nudge gently in the right direction. which she does by moving to one side of the wall near the markers, giving a soft tune in addition to her glow, that lights it up.

turning towards the other side she chirps twice, before looking back to him as though awaiting for him to do the same as she. you can do it!]

[OH! Monkey see, monkey do. He chirps at the other markers, causing the picture to appear on the wall. He shuffles back and blinks, examining the carving. Aha... more images from the past he was beginning to slowly uncover.

More ancestors living on what was once fertile land, from the looks of the picture. He tilts his head and chirps. What does it mean, though? What happened to that fertile land and all the happy ancestors?

He supposed maybe they would find out along the way. All part of the journey, right?]

[As the red cloak suspects, the white cloak does not respond to their inquiry of the meaning to the story, whether it's due to the lack of knowledge or something else- she does not say.

instead, she watches him closely before chirping a few times to imply that they indeed can find out. together, that is. depending on where they travel throughout the journey.

thoughts like that aren't entirely the purpose though. for now, she shuffles over to the broken temples to slip into the shade with a beckoning chirp.]

[He paces around the picture for a moment longer, curious about it still. He really wants the answer but at the same time he knows the answers are probably unhappy ones.

He pauses and then chirps back once, scurrying over to her when she calls. Well, as long as he isn't alone, it'll be okay.]

[Once he comes over is she already shifting to sit down, legs crossing and slipping easily into her meditating position. it's nice to take some time off and simply sit to enjoy the sights or even cool down.

she chirps again for reassurance.]

[Oh! Wise idea! He hurries over after her and sits beside her. He's a little less graceful about it but he manages. He chirps happily and in some relief. Aahh... shade and sitting down. His little feet were hurting from all the walking and running honestly. so this was nice.]

[she chirps twice very quickly, in a sort-of laughter like gesture. it wasn't that she thought he was clumsy but his movements and overall personality was quite adorable. she bows her head just slightly with a close of her eyes to take in some of this calm and peace. though she keeps her hearing open for any movement from either her companion or something else.

such as when a bird like chirp sounds outside the broken temple area, before one of the flying creatures slips in to circle them both in familiar glows. till it decides on resting down in the shade as well.]

[He's way more fidgety than her. He sits mostly still but sometimes shifts side to side or kicks his little foot out to make the sand move. He doesn't have the art of cam meditation down, it seems. But he stays quiet so she can!

But he gets kind of excited when the flying creature comes to them and he chirps enthusiastically. Even when it lays down he chirps at it, though a little quieter. He loves these little guys! They're so amazing!]

[The White Cloak watches quietly, seeing the flying creature float closer at the Red's chirp and giving a tuneful one of its' own in return. Before it circles him again and hovers above with another sound with a luminous glow.

By now the fidgety shifts has moved onto her and she can't sit still either. So she's up, giving a louder chirp than her companion's most recent one.

That riles the flying creature up excitedly, circling around them again and seeming to want to beckon them outside. She glances to her friend, what does he want to do? Follow?]

[He watches the creature dancing and coo at them in return. He scrambles to his feet when his companion stands and chirps rapidly. Of course he wants to follow, as curious as he seems to be about everything. He chirps again and darts back into the hot sun as the cloth creature circles and then begins to lead the way again.

He hurries after it, stops once to chirp at the White Cloak, then rushes back after it. Unsurprisingly, it leads them to another long ribbon billowing about in the dry air. There's several cages here with the cloth creatures in it... huh. Actually, the skeleton lying in the sand that has them trapped looks like a stone creature...

He chirps and hops on one of the blocks, peering at the trapped cloth creatures. The one that lead them here is circling the long ribbon behind him but he doesn't notice yet.]

[With her companion racing after, she joins in easily, but just enough to keep just barely behind him. This is his journey, after all. When they come across the skeleton formation settled into sand, does she slow a bit. Blinking slowly while she gazes at the outstretched stoned armor. Her attention is back to her friend when he chirps, finally finding her feet moving again closer to see what it was he found.

Ah. The trapped clothed creatures.. more so like the one they found earlier. To which she glances to, and she already knows what to do. She hops onto the smooth surface of the block, stepping close to the dull and crumbled scarf swaying in the humid air.

Now does she go to gather her companion's attention. A few chirps to beckon his attention, before showing how the scarf begins to repair itself as she hovers by the beginning of it. Just like before! She chips a few times more, just so he can come and tend to the ribbon himself. Though, she's not far from offering help if he needs it.]

[He turns 180° at her calling and stops facing the wrong way. He pauses for half a second and then turns around to actually face her, chirping back. Oh! Just like last time, right! He knows! He hops away from the cooing cloth creature to join her. He wastes no time, singing loudly and letting a burst of white envelop the ribbon. It repairs and clothes, shimmering for a moment before disappearing.

On cue the stone they stand on rumbles and he chirps in alarm, hoping off in surprise. But it's only the doors opening and the grating screech of metal sliding against metal echos in the quiet desert. But the silence is filled quickly with the happy coos of the cloth creatures. He chirps in happy surprise. Apparently there were several of them trapped here, not just the one he saw.

He quickly jumps back onto another stone and jumps, chirping happily... Oh, it picked him up again! It's carrying him up another hill. Whee!]
