[It is! Tanalin named it the Gentle Cave.]

[I want to go there,] he says. [Possibly forever.]

Permalink

[Well, you can go there, but I don't know about forever,] laughs Kiawen.

Permalink

[How about soon, can I go there soon?]

Permalink

[I think Kanim plans to go back in the next few days.]

Permalink

[Please include me in this expedition!]

Permalink

[We will, promise!]

Permalink

[Hooray!]

Permalink

Indeed, a few days later, Kanim notifies the Duchess and Duke that he's ready to pick up Ike, and Val if she'd like to join them, for the expedition if that's all right.

Permalink

Ike would like to join them! His sister would not.

Permalink

Then she may stay behind. Off they all go!

Carinna seeks out the nearest poofs.

Permalink

Icarin seeks out the tiny ducks.

Permalink

Tanalin seeks out the fluffbats!

Permalink

Kiawen makes for the piano bears.

Kanim starts inspecting the rocks around the blueberry spring in minute detail.

Permalink

Tanalin, with a pink fluffbat on her head - it might even be the same one - emerges from the maze and watches him.

Permalink

Eventually he determines the spring is not what he is looking for. He starts peering at the turtle-rocks, occasionally picking them up and moving them to other parts of the cave.

Permalink

On one such occasion, Tanalin's fluffbat swoops down and gobbles up a flower off the in-transit turtle-rock's back.

Permalink

Kanim laughs; this won't affect what he's looking at. Eventually he decides the turtlerocks aren't what he's looking for either. He goes farther back and checks out the sparkling cucumber spring. "Enjoying the ducks?" he asks Ike.

Permalink

"They are so tiny," says Ike. "Look how tiny they are! They are teeny tiny!"

Permalink

"Extremely tiny!" Kanim agrees. Hmmm, spring, pool, rocks - nope. He goes to check out the maze section.

Permalink
There's something about those glowing crystals that cover the cave's ceiling and make up most of the maze walls.

Something besides the fact that they come in all of the same colours that poofs do.
Permalink

Eventually, Kanim notices that! It helps that in the maze, they're eye-level. "Ah-ha."

Permalink

A sky-blue poof rolls up to his feet and squeaks.
