A series of odd noises seemed to emanate from the smallest of the cages that remained occupied in that foreboding cave, a series of quiet mutterings in a strange language, or at least words that didn't find themselves included in the more common of tongues, followed by what could only be described as a set of teeth gnawing once more upon the steel bars that surrounded the still lively creature within.  After a few moments of that futile action, the small body of fur flew into action, or as much as he could muster in such a confined space, banging on each of the facets of his cage in turn as a instinctive need to escape fueled his movements.<br/><br/>It was something incredible really, the odd orange creature seemed to have a limitless supply of energy, even with the lack of real food he was always doing something in his cage, be it jumping or rolling around, or even biting and clawing at the steel lock to the cage, with no success though. With a defeated huff, the corruk finally stilled, seating itself in the center of his small cage on his haunches, looking about once more at the handful of others likewise imprisoned.<br/><br/>"Tzuru want out..."<br/><br/>It was a simple statement, but then again, none of the sentences that came from his lips ever seemed complex or even that well educated.  His paw wrapped around the necklace about his throat, each charm attached on the chain in turn being a different memory of his experiences underground, back in his village...his village that he could never return to.  Finally, a claw came to a rest on the most recently added piece of jewelery, an emerald the size of one of those shiny coins the surface people fancied so much.  He traced the engraved symbol on the side, <i>Determination</i> it read, but at this point his situation seemed rather bleak.<br/><br/>Alert ears swiveled in place as he was brought out of his trance by the nearby conversation, leaning his head against the bars and looking out towards the rest of his 'companions.'  He took in those words, knowing enough of them to understand the basic point behind them.  The large snakewoman was high on his list of '<i>Things to avoid once Tzuru escape</i>', but the others, they didn't seem to put off the same predatory intent, which is what made him listen in the first place.<br/><br/>Then the word he knew all too well was spoken, <i>distract</i>.  This got the small creature thinking, enough so that he began pacing about his cage on all fours, or at least as much as he could inside of that cage.  Finally he stopped, turning on the spot and leaping against the side of his cage that faced the elf that had spoken.<br/><br/>"Tzuru good decoy!  Tzuru run fast, faster than big people!  Let Tzuru help escape!"
