"What is in it? Caves always have hazards and inconveniences," says Carinna warily.
"Harmless plants and creatures," Kanim says, "two springs, attractive crystal formations, a small maze, things like that - I will leave the specifics to be discovered, it's more fun that way, don't you think?"
"I think so," agrees Kiawen. "As long as you're sure Carinna won't be bothered!"
"Quite sure," says Kanim, "and if she is bothered we can always nip her out of there, it doesn't distort space or anything tricky like that."
"Okay," says Carinna decisively, "then I guess we can go to it."
Well, she'd hate to interrupt either activity. She goes and tastes the springs, first. "This one's blueberry and the other is sparkling cucumber," she announces, when this has been done, and she checks in on the black-and-whites to see if any of them could be less disruptively picked up at this time.
Kiawen picks it up, and pets it gently, and then sits it on her shoulder so she can go look at all the crystals.
"I think Cricket would probably terrorize them, and also, the fact that none of them have left the cave on their own suggests that they need to be here," says Kanim. "But you can come here and visit them whenever you like."
"I want to come back here a lot," she announces.
"Me, too," says Carinna. "This is the best cave." She rubs her puffball-critter on her cheek.
"What should we name it?" asks Kiawen, doubling back from an excursion into the crystal maze in the back. "The cave I mean."
"The Cave of the Crystal Maze. The Cave of Pocket Creatures," says Kiawen, trying her black-and-white in her pocket and finding it a good fit.
"The Cave of Soft Fluffy Things," says Tanalin, when one of her puffballs rolls into her hand.
"I like that," says Carinna. "Most caves are nasty and just want to trap you in the dark or shut you up with monsters or something - this one is nice."
