Kneeling before Felicity, Aiyaka would let out a cute little giggle at Bella's comment in passing. "There'd be no sense acting out the frog attack by then." she adds in a jovial tone, giving the neko's tummy one final little kiss before returning to her feet. She doesn't say another word on the subject, instead shooting her a little wink before hurrying along after the rest of the party.<br/>"You better watch yourself throwing around ideas like that miss I don't eat others...I know at least one naga who seems to enjoy the prospect of having you squirming away within her middle....would make the meal all the sweater to have a second share of the profit for her efforts now wouldn't it." she playfully teases as they come to the end of the creek.<br/><br/>The kitsune is rather impressed by the secret dwarven passage that Bella reveals. The manner in which the section of wall silently moves out of place, revealing to them the entrance they would be taking. Walking on into the darkness, sticking close to Felicity as she does so, Aiyaka's ears twitch to the sound of the door shutting behind them. Not particularly keen on the idea of being shut into this unknown passageway, she continues onward with her senses on high alert. Eyes darting about in the darkness, taking in the Eerie stillness of the vastly barren landscape, the few remnants of dwarven architecture long since abandoned. At Bella's command Aiyaka's eyes shift higher, taking in the myriad of glowing orbs, eyes flashing in the dancing light of flame. She covering her mouth with a hand while wrapping a tail around Felicity's leg for security as she sees the shadow figures teaming and moving about. "At least.....they're not frogs." she whispers, lightening her own mood, after hearing they'd not come down so long as the lantern stayed lit.<br/><br/>With their progress unimpeded, Aiyaka begins to wonder if it really was going to be this easy. As surely they where almost there....Bella working to get them into the building ahead, and a few short moments after that they'd have the spear and be well on their way to gaining their reward.... hardly an adventure worth telling, but one she'd be happy to have done and dusted all the same. Her only regret being that she'd not have as much time as she had hoped to spend with the lovely company that surrounded her. For after they returned, partied, relaxed and enjoyed themselves...they'd likely be going their separate ways once more.<br/><br/>"Oh? open already?" she calls out softly, breaking away from her thoughts the moment the door is pushed open. Being one who is no stranger to infiltration, she's surprised to see that her own shop had higher security than an area possessing such a highly sought after artifact. With a light shrug of her shoulders she follows the other's inside. The hair on the tips of her ears standing on end as a tingling sensation courses up her spine, her long fluffy tails frizzing out in every which direction. "Ughh that felt....weird...guess I'm not used to old stuffy environments..." she excusing the initial uneasy feeling as she rubs at her eyes, regaining her vision. What she sees before her however is quite baffling indeed. "Errr.....where are we Bella?" is her first response, the second being the slacking of her jaw as she truly takes in the sight of the entry way they currently stand in.<br/><br/>"Oh wow...so we where teleported? Is that what just happened?" she asks after hearing Bella rant and rave for a bit. Aiyaka was of course concerned, though more than that she was impressed by the surroundings, the mere sight sparking up her sense of mystery and adventure, much more so than swamps and frogs ever did "This place is beautiful.....I wonder where it is....I wonder who's it is....and more importantly why we where sent here?" she asks as so many questions poor into her mind. She taking a few steps forward, looking up and all around, soaking in the atmosphere, the sights, the smells. Her gaze shifting to the doorway behind them, seeing how it led outside, a part of her wondering what would be out there....did this place have a garden? Oh how she'd love to see it if it did! Her own excitement is dwindled a little at the sight of Bella's continued displeasure. Aiyaka softly offering "You think maybe another group got to the spear first...and....their portal was left open?...and this is where it took them? Maybe they live here, or brought the spear here to sell.....?" she asks as she looks towards Bella, trying to ease her mind as well as reach for an explanation herself. Her eyes shifting to Nanami for help as she was simply speculating and didn't know near enough about this sort of thing to make any solid conclusions. Aiyaka simply shrugs to Nanami's explanation of magical backwash, she not knowing near enough about what she was talking about to weigh in further.<br/><br/>Instead she begins slowly walking forward along the hall. "One way to find out..." she murmurs, curious to see just who's castle this may be. The statue the others where inspecting caught her eye, even moreso as Vormitraax goes as far as to point his sword at it and call out to it in a challenging manner. "Ooooohhhh and what have we here?" Aiyaka chimes in, hitting the knightly dragon with a friendly hip check as she skirts past him to get a better view. "Why this is surely a curious piece....easy on the eyes though i must say.....but I can't help but think that's a terrible waste of a good pair of clothing...." she declares leaning in closer to look at the fabric Nanami had drawn attention to. Her eyes drinking in the image of the demonic lady, smiling slightly at what she sees. "Warm me... ahh so that's what you where going on about Vormitraax...if only that's what she were asking eh?....as it stands that seems a peculiar name for such a statue....not the one I would have chosen at least." she states dismissively, seeing little reason to go on about the statue any further, Aiyaka spins on the spot to walk toward the stairs. "You keep an eye on her and make sure she stays put if ya want, I'm gonna go explore the rest of the castle."
