If her vessel was akin to a livid red heart, perhaps this cave was meant to be the carapace that held it. It was, however, occupied. The creature within turned a sharp eye upon her - she felt it, the shards of his attention roaming across her.

As she slipped in to the dark, it was clear that she would not await an invitation — but there was also a lack of restraint, for she wasn't afraid. As the chill of the shadows sank across her form she felt a great calm descend with it, and let out a breath. This would do.
