He could not help but smile softly when his thoughts were intruded upon by a rather familiar banthi. Raaj, he will forever and always be his brother and best friend no matter what time and fate had in store from them and his family. Lifting his head up and turning it slowly, the male caught sight of his green scaly friend and his grin broadened. He couldn’t thank him enough, he had helped him so much, let him live freely, and even left him with space for his family. It was more than he could ever possibly want in his life. Turning himself around to stare directly into the snake kings blank eyes he bowed slightly before getting up.
“It is a pleasure to see you today. Is everything doing well for you?” He let his minds words seep softly into the others brain, he rather not attack it with harsh mental vibration that would cause a headache upon one whom has such strong senses. As he waited for his reply from Raaj his eyes began to wander, checking out all that could be seen in the thick stream that covered the tunnel near the springs. Where was she, and where was Reika? The little one still seemed to not be able to develop as strongly as most banthi, almost like she was handicapped in some way. It did worry him, but he still found he to be the most precious of gifts the world had ever given him.

Three quick sniffs were all it took for him to know they were not there, well, Mimi anyway. Reika on the other hand, was standing very close to the beginning of the cave.
"Reika!"
