Being underground left Celeste uneasy, and she was struck with the urge to stretch and flap wings that she no longer had. Instead, she hugged Lucky closer to her chest, the sableye's gemstone eyes glittering in the dark as he allowed himself to be carried around like a teddy bear.
Sometimes, Celeste's claustrophobia engaged in epic battle with her curiosity and sense of adventure. This time, the claustrophobia had lost. Carrefor Town enthralled her, and the thought of these sprawling ruins just below the surface, begging for exploration, had sent her fear into retreat. It would mount a counterattack soon, and she knew she would only be able to handle being cut off from the open sky for so long before the urge to get out struck her with too much force to ignore. That meant she'd have to make the most of this while she could.
Deep breaths.
These really weren't all that bad, as tunnels went, if she were honest with herself. She'd been in tighter spaces and managed to keep from freaking out. Not to mention, there was so much to look at! Her bright eyes were drawn to various structures she passed by; they were broken and worn away, but there was just enough still there to spark imagination and make someone picture what had once been.
Lucky squirmed in Celeste's arms, and she obliged in kneeling down to set him upon the floor. He was much more at home in such a place than she was, and he immediately skittered off. "Don't wander too far," she warned as he vanished behind some rubble, and he peeked out to give her a squeak of reassurance before he disappeared from sight again.

His long arms and sharp claws made Lucky very good at both climbing and digging, and, right now, he was happily making use of both talents. While he'd been raised by Celeste in a human home, rather than the deep caves of his wild counterparts, his instinct to search for appropriate food for his geovore diet remained intact.
A few rocks of different varieties found their way into his maw, his row of pointed teeth making quick work of the crunchy snacks, but he paused when his claws met something different. Something shiny and black peeked out at him from among the duller stones, and, curiosity piqued, he went to work digging it out. It didn't take long to unearth the small gemstone, and he peered at it, a light flickering in his eyes.
Then he licked it. He instantly regretted this decision.
Scrunching up his face in disgust at the flavour, Lucky hissed, nearly tossing the gem away right that instant. He hesitated, though, and gave it another look. Even if it tasted bad, it was still pretty and dark. Celeste liked pretty and dark things.
Nodding to himself, Lucky clutched the gem close and scurried back in the direction he'd come. It took him a moment to spot Celeste, as she'd drifted over to the wall of the tunnel, eyeing markings that had been carved into it with a thoughtful frown. Lucky squawked at her as he closed the distance between them, holding up his find, and she tore her eyes away from the carvings to kneel down and give him a gentle head-pat in greeting.
"What've you got there, hun?" she asked as she took the gemstone from him, mindful of the bit of slobber still on it. "Whatever it is, it's beautiful. Thank you, sweetie." Another pat on the head earned a gleeful chatter of the little sableye's teeth, and Celeste wiped the stone off on her pant leg before tucking it away into her bag. "We can have someone check it out for us when we get back to town."
Lucky ran off again before she was even finished with her last sentence, and Celeste giggled at him. She really did need to take him to places like this more often; it always made him so happy.

As Lucky went off to continue exploring, Celeste focused back on the markings on the tunnel wall. The characters were not recognizable to her, but that didn't surprise her at all, given that she was not exactly from around here. When she stopped to think about it, just the fact that she'd Fallen into a place where the people spoke an understandable dialect of Common was one heck of a roll of the dimensional dice.
Careful not to move too far, to make sure Lucky could still find her, Celeste followed the writing along the wall, until she came upon a half-gone structure with more writing of its own, the words surrounding some kind of picture. Most of the image had been lost, but she caught sight of a series of shapes that looked like stylized scales and...a finned tail? Maybe?
Celeste shifted forward, squinting at the remains of the illustration, then caught sight of something shiny out of the corner of her eye. Ever the magpie, she turned her attention toward the shimmering distraction and saw something golden peeking out of some rubble. Curious, she knelt down and began gently digging around the object with her gloved fingers, until the gold was joined with streaks of blue and red as well.
A palm-sized sphere revealed itself, and Celeste's eyes widened. She pulled it out, then turned it left and right, watching the light dance around it, and felt a grin work its way across her face. Oh, she was keeping this, most definitely. Maybe it was valuable, maybe it wasn't, but it was hers now, and she carefully made room in her bag for it, mindful not to let the smaller, darker gem scratch it.

As Celeste uncovered her own find, Lucky was right back to munching his way through the ruins, always keeping his eyes out for more pretty things to bring his trainer, but mostly looking to fill his stomach. The idea that he could accidentally eat something of historical significance hadn't occurred to him, nor had it to his trainer, who would have been much less likely to bring him to the tunnels if it had. No, to Lucky, the difference between food-rock and important-rock was very easy to make, usually by taste, and there was nothing to worry about.
Speaking of, it wasn't long before he found something...peculiar laying among some tasty rubble, not by sight, at first, but by sound, soft humming and crackling noises that drew him to a strange, grey crystal. Curious, he lowered himself to the ground and circled it, a few times scurrying forward and almost touching it with a hand only to hop back again when he saw and heard the crackle of energy around it.
Eventually, steeling his courage, Lucky reached out and tapped the crystal with the tip of his claw. When nothing happened, he crept closer and grasped it instead, finding that the jumping sparks didn't hurt, nor did the glow that pulsed in time to the hum. He tilted his head at the strange object, and decided then and there that there would be no taste-testing this one, as the power it gave off very clearly made it a rock of the important variety. Nodding to himself, he hurried off to find Celeste once more.
He found her just as something that reflected golden light slipped away into her pack, and Lucky gave a happy squeak as he approached, curious about what she'd found but too focused on his own discovery at the moment to investigate. Celeste smiled when she saw him, pausing to scratch behind one of his ears before she gingerly took the crystal with a puzzled frown.
"Huh...Where'd you find this?" she questioned, eyeing the stone warily. The other two had been unusual, but this one just felt off in a way that made her skin crawl a bit. There was a feeling of danger to it...but as that had never stopped her from gathering such objects before, she still tucked it away with the other stones, resolving to seek out someone knowledgeable right away after leaving the ruins, rather than putting it off until later.
Lucky gave a squeak in response to the question and immediately turned to lead her to the place he'd found the crystal, slowing down his skittering gait to make sure Celeste could keep up with him as she followed.
