Welcome to Gaia! ::

It had been a few months now since the rains had first started but, for a certain dark chocolate blue lion, it was actually preferred. Rains meant that he could find an excuse to explore the caverns when he wasn't in his crystal healing sessions. No, Moyo had not interest in becoming a healer but he did have soul damage he was trying to fix with his family having turned their back on him. He had a few crystals that were supposed to help levitate his mood and balance his aura fastened around his neck on a few necklaces. He proudly wore them as he wandered the caverns letting them chime as he padded around seemingly at ease.

One particular cavern had a surplus of crystals veined through in just a way that when just the tiniest bit of light reflected off of it the room looked as if it was covered in soft blue stars. In all of Moyo's life he'd never seen something so beautiful and he was sure there was no place like this in the whole of the world.

He took a seat and admired its Kaleidoscope effect it had on the walls of the place.

The problem with Moyo taking a seat was that this particular cavern was a popular walk way for a lot of the pride and he'd chosen to sit right smack dab in the middle of it taking up a considerable amount of room. It would be a pain to walk past him with out asking him to move. Moyo seemed completely unaware of the obstacle he'd become with how distracted the chocolate blue lion was at the moment. Certainly, he'd move if asked.

The light blue shine from the crystals had a calming effect on Moyo's mind as he sat there letting him self drift in to nothingness. Suddenly, pow, a lioness had run square in to him and now he found him self also sprawled out on the floors of the cavern. Bewildered, he stayed put only half taking in the words the lioness was saying and half trying to figure out why he was on the ground all of a sudden. The processing of this was slower than Moyo would care to admit but eventually he got back to his paws and shook off any dirt he may have collected from the fall.

"Are you okay? That was ... Well I am impressed by your strength knocking me over as well. That was quite a tumble," The chocolate blue lion padded over to check on the female. His front paw lifted and he placed it on the females shoulder to check and make sure things were okay.

"I shouldn't sit in the middle of walk ways. This was my mistake," He admitted feeling pretty bad having tripped up this girl. "Some of these caverns are so pretty its almost a waste to walk by them."

"Well its good that you have family here at least," He had a smile on his maw but his eyes told he was deep in thought. Strange to think there were families here and here he was trying to run away from his. The memory hurt a little but because he knew he wasn't the victim but the one to blame. Insanity had him turn his back on his family only to realize they were gone and he had nothing when the insanity had lifted. There was still a lot of coping he was doing. The thoughts quickly fled from his mind though. Now wasn't the time for him to sulk. He didn't realize it but his paw was now on his necklaces.

"Ouch," He looked down and noticed one of his crystals had broken in to shards upon impact. The shards were still on the ground where he landed. It wasn't worth mentioning right now so he was quick to put his paw down.

They were going to have a Canadian stand off if the two went on about who was at fault so Moyo just smiled and let things go.

" I agree. I've seen these halls in side and out and I feel there are still small details I missed. I've... never lived in a cavern like this before." There was a pause as the pain in his paw was growing. Damn it, one of the shards had probably lodged it self in his paw. The lion lifted it.

Blood.

"Funny. These things are supposed to heal..." More droplets of blood dripped. It wasn't horrible but it didn't look comfortable.

"Funny, " The male began, "I'd actually just come from a healer before you ran in to me," A curled grin was showing on each side of his maw. It really was kind of funny that he found him self needing to go back to the healer so soon not to mention he'd hurt him self on one of their devices. To be fair, the crystals were to help his mood and coping and there had been no promise that they wouldn't cut him.

"She is studying the craft? I'd love to meet her. Honestly, I'm here for the healing this pride promises." The chocolate blue lions cheeks flushed a little pink at admitting that. He wanted to continue talking with this female about more small talk sorts of things but the pain was starting to get to him. Maybe they could talk on the way to this females sister.

"But in all seriousness... I think I should see a healer or some one studying the craft. Could you lead me to her?" He stuck out his bleeding paw so that the female could get a better look.

"Awkward timing but I'm Madzimoyo by the way."

It sounded like the two sisters were quite close which was refreshing to Moyo. While he wasn't comfortable talking about his family he was happy others were and others had good relationships with their family members.

Moyo smiled having acquired the females name.

"Don't worry about me. I got three other good paws I can walk with. I'll hold this one so I don't drive the shards deeper inside the paw," He looked at the blood that was still steadily dripping out. "I ... don't mean to rush but... Probably sooner rather than later. Could you lead the way?"
