Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jin nodded. "It is that. I like caves though. They're all dark and creepy and scary and no-one can find you. I live in a cave now. Away from almost everyone. Just because it's cool. I'll show you my cave if you like."

"Okay!" cried Jin. He spilt a few coins on the table and, without waiting for Arisa to pay for her split, (he had paid extra for hers anyway) grabbed her and marched out the door. "Upwards then!" he said happily and his wings opened like leathery sails. "Follow then." He took off.

"I like caves, also, though," shouted in to her over the wind. "Down here!" He spiralled down to a mass of crags. He landed with a thump on a pre-scattered bed of sand and shook himself off before vacating the landing strip for his guest. "This was a home to something else before it was mine so we have to pay respect- we're visitors here." He touched his nose to the cave wall, as if to ring a doorbell or meet somone with whom one was not quite acquainted. "Inside, then," he said and he entered the dreary cave.

"Nope," said Jin. "Dragons are as at home underground as we are in teh sky. Brittania says that in the olden days we would hatch from our eggs underground and not see sunlight until we were teens! I don't know how that would feel, but Brittania said it was fine. Brittania is so cool, I can't wait for you to meet her. You will one time; this cave links up with hers in places." While he spoke, Jin wove through the passeges. "In here's my shiny rock room. Wanna see?" he asked, pointing to a deep darkness. "You should follow my voice carefully, because Brittania doesn't allow any lights before this point; the light is in here. You're not lost are you, Mixy?"

"The only monsters in here are me and Brittania," said Jin happily. He turned a knob and light shone down into three score globes of stones carved into bowls from the ceiling. "Here's the rocks. I like them." There were carved rocks and shiny rocks and coloured rocks all scattered around with little indents where in had obviously slept.
