Great Bear Wilderness a flock of birds

Atreyu huffed along a soft laugh at Charon's reply. It would be handy, but digging into the prey after a hunt was the best part. Not to mention they would have to fetch the animal from the depths of the quarry. He glanced over the area, noting how the limestone formations seemed to simply dip lower and lower before they reached the bottom. Something seemed to almost be glimmering there, but Atreyu could not make out what it was.

The boy followed Charon as he casually made his way through the strange rocks, nosing and inspecting them. Atreyu wasn't as curious, instead watching the ground as he walked, careful not to let any of his three paws slip on any unstable ground. A fall here would...not be good for one's health. "I don't think so," he murmured after the Beta's excited rambling. He didn't think rain would ever be heavy enough to puncture solid rock. Nor did he believe in other places besides here, in the wild. What could even be strong enough to move these sorts of rocks? Or be able to form formations like this?

To distract the boy, Atreyu waved his muzzle in the direction of the bottom of the pit. "Looks like there's water or something there," he mentioned off-handedly.
