Lexi wandered into the cave, her wand tip alight as she strolled confidently deeper into it. All around her, water dripped off the ceiling and streamed down the walls, falling into pools around her feet. However, nothing seemed to be moving; she appeared to be all alone.
However, as soon as she thought that, a noise came from behind her. Approaching footsteps... Whipping around, Lexi held her wand menacingly out in front of her, desperately trying to see beyond the light to whatever was coming.

"Don't curse me, please!" Maggie raised her hands, squinting in the light coming from the wand. Lexi's expression relaxed, and Maggie giggled a bit. Exploring caves gave her a bit of an adreniline rush, and that resulted and her acting a bit hyper.
Maggie had a habit of walking really softly, but she knew she would scare the daylights out of Lexi if she appeared out of nowhere, so she walked a bit more obviously.
"So Summers ... what are you doing here?" She asked looking around, her eyes adapting to the dark, letting her make out a vague outline of what was around her.

Lexi blinked a few times, staring at the girl in front of her, though not really seeing her. No matter, she knew the voice, and it was obviously Maggie. "Me? Just exploring a bit, I was bored, and I had thought I wouldn't run into anyone here. Obviously, I was wrong."
Her voice had a teasing quality to it as she turned back around, smiling and examining the cave walls around her. "What about you... what are you doing here?" she asked, without turning to face her.

Maggie grinned slyly, "I was stalking you." She teased, laughing. "I'm just kidding. I go in here sometimes, because I'm crazy." She said, more seriously. She saw the vague outline of Lexi's head turn to her. She could imagine Lexi raising an eyebrow or teasingly nodding in agreement. "Well not crazy as in mentally unstable .. but it's like ... when I get a crazy or stupid idea in my head. I HAVE to do it. It's like ... I put myself under the Imperius curse. Like this one times years ago when I used to be shy ..." She heard Lexi giggle in disbelief. "I was! But I used to be scared of new people, especially guys. My friends and I were out in a restaruant, taking pictures and laughing. I saw this cute waiter, and I thought I should take a picture of him. Now a sane, shy person, would not be able to do that. But for some reason, I had to do it. My friends thought it was stupid and told me not to, but for a moment, it was like, it wasn't even me. I got up, smiled and asked him if I could take a picture of him." Maggie smiled in remembering. "And I don't know. Ever since then I would do these things I think up, because I wanted to prove to myself it wasn't as scary, or stupid as I thought it was."
Maggie became very consious of how much she was talking.
Finishing off, she added. "And I used to be scared of the dark, so naturally I thought how terrifying it would be to come in here. And ... here I am. I visit often actually. The dark isn't so scary anymore."

Lexi listened to her ramble in near silence, every once in a while laughing softly or rolling her eyes in disbelief as she told her stories. Maggie, scared? The mere idea of it struck her as odd, for as long as she'd known the girl [which, granted, was only a few days, maybe a week], shy had never seemed to be in her nature. Though, she knew full well that people changed, and decided that it was just a part of Maggie's personal growth.
"It's good that you're facing your fears. I come here a lot too, actually, just because most people don't. If I want to be around people, I go to the beach, or one of the infamous Kinrick parties that happen nearly every second of every day. But, if I want to think, I come here... you know?"

"Thinking is fun." Maggie agreed. "Although I think everywhere and am known to get lost in thought. Even talking to people." Maggie picked up a rock and brushed her fingers over the dusty smoothness. "I'm able to zone out everything around me easily, I don't need a quiet place. I actually come here not to think. Not thinking is fun, too." Maggie thought for a few moments.
"I guess that's what I do. With my crazy ideas. I don't think. It's like you're standing by a pool of cold water. You start thinking, and arguing with yourself. Like you know its cold, and it'll be a shock, but you know also that you'll get over it quickly. And you just start thinking too much. What I do, is I don't think, and I just race right in."
Maggie kept running her fingers over the rock, thinking to herself. "I guess I just like it because it's like a high. You feel so wild and reckless. Like nothing matters."
