"I cannot believe you have alreaaady leaved your den!" Cheered the lively one, with a joyfull laugh.
"Please, spare me with your behavior, I've already told you that something has raised my concern."

It's a common fact, that Quictus has a family, well, everyone does in fact, but Quictus family has some traditions that brings everyone together. At least, that's what seems is existing for him.
And Osmond is his beloved cousin, and what hurts the live one the most - they don't meet too often. He always laughs, that he burried himself in books again. He has hard time understanding Osmond's lifestyle - knowledge is very important, yes, but can you be wise if you won't experience it on your own? How can you only believe the words, written on thin pages, if you haven't seen it live.
Quictus on the other hand, as he appreciates the worth of the knowledge - for him experience is more reliable. That's why he got so happy when Osmond offered to go with him this time, it was such a surprise that he left to venture with him. But as a more experienced courser, he promised to himself that the excitement won't take a lead, but a care, so Osmond will be coming more often, especialy with him when he will trust him enough.

"So, what made your mind?" Asked curiously Quictus, stepping like a foal by side of his cousin. "What do you mean?" Osmond raised a thick fluffy brow, giving him a look. "I meaaan, you never wanted to go, yes, you said that we won't go any further than entrance, at least with you, but... I still find it... weird for you. It's your first time there!"
"Actualy, no, it's not my first time there." "WHAT?!" "I was... once... at a very "exciting and safe" experience with dungeons, with some other coursers." Well, that was quite a surprise to hear, but it also made his heart tear up in a moment. He felt like it was a special moment, but I guess that he never should make his hopes up at a first place.
"Well, you still haven't answered my question, me and my little bat want to knoooow!" Pleading like a cute puppie, but more like an annoying one always asking for a meal like he never tasted one, Osmond only made a little sound of "sigh", giving up as he feared his tantrums. "I saw a moon one night, very red and threatfull, I want to give it a glance, and I think that this place my have something related to this strange occurrence."
Well, that sounded funny at least "It seems like a story for kids, to discourage them from wandering at night." While talking, Osmond could hear him giggling, he couldn't take it seriously it seems. "Well, think whatever you want, maybe you are right and we should leave at this very moment!" With that words, Quictus only could see how Osmond turns his neck with a whole body, really intending to leave throught the entrance they just came in with.
"W-wait! No! Don't go!" But it was too late, as they both now were leaving this place. Maybe Quictus was right, and all this worries were for nothing, but what if? What if Osmond had all right to fear, what if something lurks there - in the shadows?
