Tam had been wandering alone in the gloom for quite some time, and was thoroughly sick of it. She'd lost count of how many times she'd stubbed her toe on some rock, or hit her head on a stone outcrop, or even put her hand in something slimy and horrible whilst feeling her way along the wall. How was she going to find them without any light? Every so often she would pass by a crack in the cavern ceiling, which would provide her with enough light for her to at least attempt to get her bearings. However, with every fissure Tam passed, the outside world seemed to grow darker. It had to be close to nightfall. And if she was still down here then...well, she wouldn't be going anywhere until morning!
If only they'd travelled a little closer together, she might not have wound up on the wrong side of that cave-in. Now Talbot and Ivy were somewhere out there alone, facing who knows what monsters, probably just as lost as she-
A strange glow to her right caught Tam's attention. She turned in place, careful not to trip over any of the crud scattered about the tunnel floor, and squinted into the suddenly less-gloomy gloom. It was not sunlight, it was...blueish, like light reflecting off of the ice. Regardless of its source, it was light, and was at least worth a look. Perhaps there would be others there who could help her track down her friends. Maybe said friends themselves would even be present.
Hands held out in front of her, Tam made her way slowly towards the source of the light. By waving her arms about like a...well, like an interpretive dancer maybe?...she was able to find the left wall of the side tunnel beyond which the light shone. From there on in, all she would have to do was follow it towards the light. From there on-
Somebody emerged from another side tunnel, somebody whom Tam could barely see, but who she nonetheless managed to walk right into. Her head connected with a shoulder blade and she yelped, shifted back, half stumbled on an accumulation of small loose stones; and glared irritably at the newcomer.
"Hey, watch it!"
***
ooc: Hope this suffices. I realise most of my intros are very "passive"- i.e; my characters don't do a lot- so I wanted to try one where she actually makes an interaction with the other character. xD
If you hadn't worked it out, the light is meant to be coming from the Gathering Cavern, hence why I put this thread in that board. However, if they end up somewhere else, it's not a huge deal. The threads are fairly easy to move around. =P
