It seemed she had run into one who was fairly new to Spirane herself yet that did not put Ankh off. Instead it rather made her brighten for they could explore together and hopefully Ankh would find something to prove that she was an excellent explorer. After all, Ankh wished ot be the best at everything. Far greater than those around her. Aldonza seemed like a pretty mellow female and she certainly had herself put together in the way that one should be put together. Ankh was not afraid to get dirty but it was the time after that halted her more often than not from such vibrant interactions. It took forever to clean her fur and she always wondered what her mother's secret was with her pristine white pelt and all. Ankh was a nice blend of her mother and father and her past parentage, her eyes a pale color that might be considered blue one moment and green the next, usually depending on which setting she was in. At the moment Aldonza sees them as blue but in a verdant field of grass they appear green, an ever changing and confusing thing.

"I was planning to seek out my brother and demand that he show me these caverns but perhaps we should just find them instead? Much more.. adventurous, I think," Ankh says, pausing at the right moments to add an air of maturity and thoughtfulness. Meanwhile on the inside she is grinning, a banshee waiting to explode. "Besides, if I find something before them then he will never hear the end of it. What do you say, Aldonza, wish to come?" She waits for a beat and assuming that Aldonza agrees (because, who cannot agree with Ankh?) she starts up the side of the mountain.

Her body is not built like Aldonza's simply because she had not lived in this terrain. The forest was relatively flat and Ankh often left the safety of the trees for the open fields of Mecor to race. Her body was built like a racers, muscles honed for speed but not for climbing. It is no wonder that as they climb her pace begins to slow and her jaw parts on a slight pant, her muscles screaming at the fierce pressure. "I am not sure..." pant, "how my mother managed this all the time." The last bit came out on a long exhaled breath without any pauses.

She glances at her companion now, her eyes moving down to the strong legs of Aldonza. "How long have you been here? You must be like a mountain goat." The words are straight forward but offered with a teasing grin. There are times when Ankh does not feel the need to try and out-do another and this is one. In doing so she would just end up looking like a fool not to mention be in pain. But it would not stop their trek to the caverns.
(This is assuming Aldonza accompanies Ankh, if not then I can edit :P)
