Alice woke up to the faint growling of Deveraux. She sighed, sitting up ever so slowly. But Alice's hands flew up to her head and she moaned as she clutched her head. Deveraux looked back at Alice with panic glowing in his bright blue eyes. "What's wrong?" Alice shook her head slightly, her blue hair quivering upon her shoulders. "N-nothing." But by that point in time, Deveraux had turned back, growling once more at a stranger who approached. Alice looked up momentarily, but shrugged slightly, trusting Deveraux to protect her.
Quite some time passed, and the stranger had long since gone, but Alice's headache had yet to dissipate. "So where exactly are we?" Deveraux, laying upon the cold floor, whose material structure similar matched that of marble, lay with his paws crossed and his head resting upon his large paws. His rumbling voice echoing slightly as he spoke. "I don't know Alice. But I can promise you that we're no longer in London." And at that, Alice shot him a look that spoke as though to ask if he was serious. At this, he began to laugh, a sound that similarly resembled that of a deep purr. Alice couldn't help but smile, but it faded quickly as she sneezed, at which Deveraux responded with yet another worried look. "I'm fine Dev." He smiled faintly, his ears twitching as he struggled to hear the sounds that echoed in what seemed to be, a cave.
Koti had been awake for quite some time, and at the moment, he sat in what appeared to be a dimly lit, marble cave. He was debating whistling, feeling rather bored, the added fact being that he was bored. Maitis had gone to find out more about the cave, but Koti was finding himself worried. She'd been gone for longer than ten minutes, even though she'd said she was going to be back within five. He stood up slowly, finding that he had over three feet existing above him in head room. He began to walk slowly, trying to quiet the thudding created by his tennis shoes on the ground. He wished to call out for Maitis, but feared endangering her if other creatures of dangerous personalities lurked around.

Maitis watched the tiger and the odd haired girl for a moment, turning as the tiger growled and charging back to find Koti. But at that precise moment, Maitis turned a corner, barreling straight into Koti, sending him flying into the ground. "Oh god Koti, I apologize. That... Was rather stupid of me." Sitting up, rubbing his head, Koti watched Maitis with an eyebrow slightly raised. "Yeah, ya think?"
