Spiral could tell that something was going on, but he couldn't really see what. Hmm...I must find out what it is! he thought, his curiosity overriding his sense of caution. He immediately got up, shook off the dirt, and headed for the treeline.
Kariya noticed this, and wasn't entirely surprised - she knew what happened when her brother discovered something he hadn't before. She quickly extricated herself from the hollow log and headed out after Spiral, catching up to him before he broke from the trees. Together, they walked out of the trees and into the open, looked around...then looked up.
"That's different," Kariya said. Looking over at Spiral, she continued, "You remember seeing anything like that while we were in the Beyond?"
Spiral shook his head. ::You?:: he signed. She mirrored his headshake.
"Hmm...Did any of the Brothers say anything about it?" Kariya asked.
Spiral thought for a moment, then shook his head. There's something about this...I can't tell what, though... he thought. ::There could be something to learn there...If so, we must go there,:: he signed to his sister, before turning slightly to get a better view of the light, studying it.
"But...it looks a bit...scary...don't you think?" Kariya said, her voice portraying the fact that she was indeed slightly scared of the strange glow.
Spiral turned back to her and smiled slightly. ::To tell the truth, I'm a bit scared about it too. But if there's something new there, I have to find it. Besides, we'll have each other!:: he signed.
"You're right...We'll have each other. Together is better!" she exclaimed, tapping his fist with hers. The fact that there were others around had slipped their minds for the moment...
