"Ow, ow..."

Well, this, he supposed, was why he didn't particularly enjoy trying to come to a landing on wet rock. Never had, really, not for any of the times in the past year since he'd left home that he'd tried it. He could just imagine many of the other species had it better, not having to deal with the feeling of talons that couldn't find purchase, instead scratching across rock as the Rito went from hovering peacefully downward, to flopping straight back onto his rear. And what a fine start to this little unwitting 'adventure' of his it was!

At least the bow wasn't broken, he observed as he slid it off his shoulder to check it. Nor, indeed, would his tailbone be from just that. However bad it was, it could be worse... right...? At least he wasn't seen... he hoped. Never mind, anyway... all he had to do was... get back up... or not. Once again, talons tried to find purchase, and utterly failed, leaving him right back where he started, on his rear on wet rock with water starting to soak uncomfortably through his pants. Perfect.

"All... I needed... was some ingredients..." Lavi muttered, the cardinal-like Rito exhaling a long, deep sigh. Slinging his bow back onto his shoulder, where he was certain it would remain safe, he pressed his 'hands' to the ground to slowly and carefully push himself up to his feet, so that he could remain... relatively steady, at best. Not falling again just yet at worst. If he wasn't suffering from nerves, he mused, he might have just landed on the sand that seemed to spread into the cave opening instead... too late for that now, then.

"Alright... th-that should do..." he nervously spoke, mostly for his own benefit courtesy of the belief that nobody else would be around, especially to see the embarrassing sight earlier. Drawing his bow back off his shoulder, he in turn drew out an arrow for it, pausing in starting to go toward the cave before flicking his eyes around the immediate area, only to pause again, nervously looking away as quickly as he could. Ah... there was someone else after all. "E-erm... were you... headed this way as well...?"

Mushrooms were such curious things. Some were edible and perfectly delicious! Others were deadly, deadly poison that could kill from just one bite. Sometimes the tasty ones. . . looked just like the poisonous ones. But some seemed to work well for medicine! Thus Eolet simply had to investigate these strange plants and learn their secrets. Which brought her to this strange cave. Oh all the wondrous plants she's found! The coast was a veritable wonderland of beautiful plants! But caves, mushrooms liked caves. So in she went!

Aaaaannnd it's filled with monsters. Eolet spent several minutes hovering around the cave entrance, she'd advance full of courage and intent, then back off because was she ready for this? Nothing ventured nothing gained, right? Maybe there were even more amazing plants in the cave that no one knew about because the monsters kept people out!

Okay, maybe if she's quiet and stuck close to the shadows then she can sneak through. Eolet took a deep breath and made her way in very slowly.  So far so good, until she heard strange frantic scratching. After a shocked "eep!" She hid behind a rock. What was making that noise? Was there a big monster in the cave? After several moments she psyched herself for a quick peak around the rock. Oh! It was a Rito! I really pretty one with feathers as red as a Gerudo's hair!

Eolet stepped behind the rocks and approached. She waved as soon as she was spotted. "I am actually. Would you like to go together? There's monsters in this cave and I'd feel safer with someone else."

She'd feel... safer? Oh... right... 'safety in numbers' and all that, wasn't it? Well... right... that was probably simple enough, then, wasn't it?

"There's... r-right, yes..." Lavi muttered with a faint little nod, his eyes meanwhile pointed in the direction of the cave. That was... a sensible enough place to look without actually looking at the person nearby, wasn't it? Or at least, he assumed so. Glancing down to his bow and arrow he currently held for a moment, he nervously clicked his beak slightly before slipping the arrow back into the quiver he'd managed to recall at his waist, at least for the moment. Right... he was going to be accompanied, so it was only proper to introduce himself to the lady, right?

"Erm... Lavi, at your service, m'lady," he introduced himself, turning to at least mostly face the woman and offering somewhat of a sweeping bow with his now freed wing. Yet, when he arose again, his gaze was even still somewhere slightly off to the side, not quite on his latest companion. "I-I don't think... any of the monsters just in here should be too much of a worry, and you'll have my bow should you need it. Er... should we need it... I-I'll still be... holding it..." he trailed off weakly, a grin that managed to form quickly enough fading to a frown as his social awkwardness and lack of confidence rapidly caught up.

"Shall... we go, then? I don't think there should be much more than Keese in here, and they should mostly stay still if we don't do anything to bother them..." he suggested, giving a little nod toward the cave entrance... while not being brave or willful enough to take the first step forward, not alone.

Some 'hero's descendant' he was.

Aw, he was kinda cute. Lavi, as the Rito introduced himself gave a gentlemanly bow and Eolet felt a slight blush creep onto her cheeks from being called a lady. She didn't feel like a lady as she still felt very much like a child. "A pleasure to meet you. I'm Eolet. And I'm sure those monsters will be no trouble for you." Oooh, she just wanted to hug him and tell him he could do anything! But that would be rude. Still, he's so sweet, like candy!

"I'm not much good with weapons. I mean, I have a dagger, but it's just for emergencies. But if you get hurt I can patch you up! I studied under my tribe's healer for three years." Eolet said with no small amount of pride. She worked so hard those three years to learn as much as she could. "That's actually part of why I wanted to come here. I use many plants for my remedies and cures and maybe there are rare plants in here! Mushrooms are what I'm specifically looking for."

But she was chatting too much, wasn't she? "But, um. Shall we head in? I'll be right behind you." Eolet would hang close to Lavi and would make sure nothing tried to sneak up on them. Now that she wasn't alone this was kinda exciting. Sure there were monsters. . . but now this felt more like a proper adventure! While they moved forward she kept her eyes peeled for mushrooms or any other interesting plants.

No trouble for him? Well... hm... it wasn't as though all his years of training wasn't kind of for such a purpose, was it? Supreme lack of confidence notwithstanding, Lavi couldn't help the nervous little chuckle, nor reaching up with that free wing to rub a little at the back of his head. Indeed, lack of confidence in himself aside... it didn't feel so bad to have his ego stoked a little, when it came to it. Hardly was he inattentive besides, however, seeming to perk slightly in interest and almost looking fully in Eolet's direction at her next statement... but not quite. There was still that awkward aversion to eye contact, after all.

"Oh... w-well, I was actually kind of looking for something similar. I'm not any sort of healer -- actually, I don't really know the first thing about it -- but I am a cook. And, well... raised as a warrior. I-if... anything does come along, then I shall be certain to protect you, Lady Eolet," the Rito offered with a small, assuring nod, along with a little grin. Well, he'd said it, then... he'd just have to try and deal with whatever came... wouldn't he? Gulping down a bit more nervousness at the prospect, he exhaled a light, somewhat calming breath before stepping along toward the cave with the Gerudo woman. In the meanwhile, he made a point to draw that arrow back out of his quiver, steadying it on the string for now while not bothering to draw it back; for him, that much was plenty of preparation to be able to move quickly. And while she looked around the ground, his eyes focused mostly on the stone ceiling above them, hardly forgetting his warning of the likelihood of Keese in the area.

"Mm... a bit deeper... I think there should be some water. That would... usually be the sort of place you'd find mushrooms, right? Somewhere a bit damper?" he hazarded, rather certain that he was just showing his total lack of knowledge of... anything like that. Sure, he knew the ingredients, but he didn't necessarily know how or where to find them when he usually bought a good chunk of what he used! "Let me know... if you see anything, as well. We should be safe for now, I think -- at least, I don't believe monsters would come this close to the entrance when we're not far off from a village -- but... if we can spot things before they see us, then you won't have to worry at all, right...?" he suggested in turn.
