It was a neat place, once he stopped getting stuck in trees. The underground caverns they called home were pretty, and the first time he'd walked through, Perseus had stood and pawed at cold, clear water with wide eyes. His breath was taken away repeatedly as he walked, slipping between larger bodies and hiding underneath their chests. People got quick, shouted apologies as he moves on if he got under their feet, but for the most part the boy has stuck to himself these last few hours. Which isn't a whole lotta time, but it is for him. He can't help but feel restless, like he's missing something big. Though the tiger cub explores and sees plenty of people, he doesn't know them and he kind of wants to. It'd probably be easier, if he was going to stay. But that wasn't the most important thing right now. Wandering through the caverns had brought Perseus to something spectacular: string. It was tangled and the colors were faded, but it was perfect.
He had spent the last few minutes simply trying to untangle the coiled mess, curved claws digging into the bundle and tugging. The more he tugged, the more colors he began to see, long strands hidden from the sun and dust. The string itself changed colors from red to orange to yellow, and the more he unravels the more changes he sees. He whispers the names of them under his breath as each new one is revealed. Green, blue, purple... and then back to red. Part of him is slightly disappointed that there's not more, though that's unreasonable. There were only so many colors in the world, after all, and he couldn't have all of them. (Maybe that's good, because a few colors were pretty gross and the string is sort of pretty as it was.)
Now that the pile in front of him was at least mostly untangled, loosely looping lines of rainbow string on the solid, dirty ground underneath one of the pretty trees, he's... not entirely sure what to do with it. Maybe wrap it back up, but more carefully? That seems like a lotta work.
