She looked back, only to see a Charr get taken away by a female giant. Alya didn't really think much of it since she didn't know the cat at all and figured they'd be able to take care of themselves. As they progressed through the cave, she could hear the thumping grow stronger, she was glad that it wasn't a chorus of noise like it was in the tower, and she wondered what kind of magic was being used to create such a different beat and tune. Her thoughts were somewhat interrupted when everyone had stopped at a fork in the cave. She could still hear the thumping, but she couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Her gaze moved to Rilana when she was addressed, [i][color=6ecff6]'Yes, but I don't know which path it is coming from.'[/color][/i] She watched Rilana's actions for a moment before they had decided on a path to take. Alya didn't know what happened, but the Gryphon disappeared without a trace, it's shape leading toward the Moon Fey. She couldn't make any sense of it, but she figured it was magic. Of course it had to be. If Rilana wasn't a Mage, then mind speak wouldn't work at all. Alya decided to follow everyone else, she's had enough of being separated from people in caves for a lifetime. The half elf saw the two-headed beast run off on it's own, which she thought was pretty normal, however, Echo had decided to follow the beast as well, having picked up a scent on some other creatures in the cave. Possibly bats. Alya frowned slightly as she watched her canine companion run off, but she figured that Echo's hearing was sharp enough to hear her commands if she was to call him. Maybe she was being too lenient on how much of an adventure Echo could go on by himself, but she thought that it might be good for him to 'strike out' on his own once in awhile.
