Khaal stopped, cocking his head in confusion as Ambryn asked him to wait.  It wasn't that he never cleaned himself and, to be honest, he was due after what they'd just done, but there was something a bit... enrapturing about watching her clean herself.  Like catching a glimpse of her in a compromising position, that tender slit that begged to be spread, it wasn't meant to be erotic, but it was to him.  He wondered what it would be like to have her clean him.  For that matter, could he use her mouth the same way as he had her pussy?  The beak made that a dangerous prospect, but still.  Maybe someday...<br/><br/>He hadn't blushed when she'd complimented him, standing proudly in response before she started cleaning herself, but he was blushing now.  Thankfully, the darkness concealed it and as the corridors leading away from this main hall implied, it was only going to get darker from here.<br/><br/>"Alright, let's go."  He said, turning away and leading her down one of the hallways.<br/><br/>The ruins were dark.  Old stone etched by ancient tools made up the structure.  It wasn't pristine, though, as some hallways had collapsed and others had given way to what looked like caves or, at least, a tunnel system.  In some of those, an ominous skittering could be heard deeper.  They were not alone.  Khaal didn't lead Ambryn that way, though, and he didn't let her wander off accidentally, either.  The long tentacles tipped in spiked club-like appendages flared out and worked like whiskers, threatening anything that could see clearly in this dark and when Ambryn found it hard to follow in the dark, there was always the presence of one of those tendrils that led her back to him.<br/><br/>Finally, there was a blue-white glow up ahead, and the sound of water.  A bit of steam funneled out from the entrance to one of the ancient rooms and as their eyes adjusted to it, the darkness behind became that much more bleak. Khaal turned into the room and strutted in, unafraid and with a certain posture that made him seem like the king of this domain.<br/><br/>"We're here!"  He said with a certain excitement to his deep rumble.<br/><br/>The room was quite expansive, but it was hard to tell what it had initially been used for as much of it had collapsed.  A natural spring behind one wall leaked out and formed a creek that pooled between a couple slabs that had broken apart and a crack by the wall where the water flowed off out of the room.  Elsewhere, another spring, but this one was much hotter and formed a natural hot spring in it's own pool.  To the far side of the room, though, was the pile of rubble and on top of it were huge slabs of stone that were almost flat, collapsed from the ceiling and allowed whoever was on top of them to lord over the entire room in safety.  Many feet above that, in what looked like a roof of stone, was some sort of fungus or glow worms, it was hard to tell from the floor and in the dim light.  They gave the room it's signature glow, light enough in comparison to the rest of the ruins that it was almost like day.<br/><br/>"Welcome home."  Khaal said, turning around and bracing for Ambryn's reaction.
