well, you are not dead either - so, you are just speculating without any proof or basis. this was entirely true; val would revisit this later.

val listened bemused as dwin told him of her relationship with jay. it appeared he, much like dwin, could take a joke -- perhaps this was something wolves were born into, for he had met many that would take offense to the slightest thing.

it did not occur to val that dwin had good reason to not follow a man into a cave. he paused and looked behind him, realizing dwin had not moved from her spot. explaining she was claustrophobic, val apprised her from top to bottom as if seeing her for the first time. the great and mighty explorer dwin, afraid of a little cave?

but he took the hint and sat upon his round rump. there are loa in that cave too. it's over there. he pointed to the grotto which lingered along the cliff's walls. even from this distance he could hear the stale sigh of wind in its crypts. there are dead down there, so tread carefully. once, it even housed a bear. his eyes went wide with a story-teller's flourish. the loa are spirits. it takes a special person to commune with them, for they do not approach mortals often. sometimes, they may visit you in dreams and guide you, other times they are nightmares and pestilences. i have been told you can summon loa by sacrifice, but this seems a dark thing to do.
