Ply is honestly a bit of a phony. Today is the third time he's EVER been in a cave. For a bat his age, that's pretty embarrassing - most have been in a cave tens, or even hundreds of times. Bats tend to like to vacation there, or at least make a day trip to one once in a while. It's dark and quiet - de-stimulating after the bustling of everyday life, as well as cool and damp - perfect conditions to lounge around in and become cozy wrapping yourself in your wings. But here, look, he clearly doesn't seem to care. He seems to be enjoying himself, softly smiling while appreciating the various stalactites and stalagmites, but I don't see a lick of embarrassment on that face. Whatever man, I guess. Do your thing, but like caves are the place to be, and I'm totally judging you.
