He strides, a lone soul to haunt these caverns. He's desperately trying to find Lakota, trying to check in on her in the least. He wants to make sure she's okay, and not trying to find Ktulu in the darkness, or anything else. He was mellowing out during these days of confinement, finding it harder and harder to think while trapped in the caverns. So many horses were packed into the underground, making Locket sometimes feel like he was being suffocated by the cramped spaces some days. It was difficult for him to escape the eyes of others, feeling uncomfortable under the watch of everyone.
He slips through the shadows, light bathing his side as lava illuminates the caves. His rusty colored body is turned into an intensely saturated red, basking in vibrant oranges, yellows and reds. He glances at a pale figure at the moving for the mouth of the cave, body freezing as his hoofsteps echo in the cavern. He realizes how close she is to the entrance of the cave, his heart suddenly racing a thousand miles a minute. "W-wait! Ma'am, please, don't go any farther!" He wails, accented words bounding off the rock walls of the caves. The stallion races closer to the "Don't do that! You'd die if you go out there, or you'd become one of..." He swallows, unable to finish his sentence. Approaching her, Locket gets a better look at the mare's face. He lowers his muzzle, trying to press her shoulder to show that he was there to help her. He tries to push her back from the darkness, but only if she was willing to cooperate.
He gazes at her, a solemn expression on her face. "I can't lose another soul to the shadows.." He murmurs, gazing at her with dull eyes as he thinks of his former Chieftess and the beast that attacked her. He struggles to hold back his pain, but fails as his breath gets shaky. "M-my name is Locket, yours?" He gazes at her, leafy gems softening as he looks at the pale girl.
