Welcome to Gaia! ::

The weather was nice, which for one greatly improved Sahar's mood. For second, she was off on an adventure with a cub she had just met! Alright so maybe the last part wasn't too pleasing, but other than that the undersized jackal was enjoying herself. She was heading in the direction of a great place too. A small wateringhole crowded by the company of prey. Granted it wasn't the best place to start exploring; but it was sure to have something of interest. Or at least Sahar hoped it would, or else she'd be dragging Kakalina out here for nothing!

Speaking of Kakalina, Sahar hadn't heard her speak in a while. She could of course he naturally quiet, but Sahar felt she might have fallen behind. She turned her head around and looked at the red cub behind her. She seemed a little, cautious? Sahar was like that... Around lions and cheetahs, but something about the idea of a exploration was hindering the cub. Sahar had noticed this when she first suggested exploring to her. The jackal would be careful not to get them involved in any life threating situations; she considered herself to be pretty good at avoiding danger after all.

As the two neared the wateringhole, the prey animals started cautiously backing off. Some stayed, not concerned by two small animals heading towards them. When they arrived, Sahar took a short drink before she ran around the preimemiter of the area. It was safe. Nothing to be wary of.

"Anything you want to look for?" She asked Kakalina. Perhapes the cub had something specific she wanted to find. The little jackal was more than willing to look for it, if it would make her new friend smile.

A wateringhole was bound to have tons of bugs near it. "Lets look for bugs then." Sahar nodded in approvel. Sahar then sniffed the ground in attempts to pick up some sort of scent. What types of bugs would she find? Flies more or less, but other than flies there had to be something interesting.

Sahar had managed to find many scents, but that was somewhat troubling. Which one should she follow first? She followed one scent to the edge of the wateringhole. A little spider was struggling to stay a float. The fox bent down and attempted to pick it up with her snout. "Spider!" She shouted happily.

Sahar carefully stuck her nose in the water near the spider. She waited until the little guy was on her nose before she lifted her head. "Here he is." She moved slowly, as to ensure the spider didn't fall off. She was pretty sure one of his poor legs had fallen off, but it was alright. At least he wasn't drowning anymore.

Sahar was always amused by what cubs found amusing. Bugs for one. Sahar never paid heed to bugs until she played with cubs. They always seemed unimportant until cubs had a go at them; then they were amazing freaks of nature. "You want to hold 'em?" She suggested to Kakalina.

Sahar watched as the tiny, frightened spider crawled onto her friend's nose. She grinned happily at the cub's reaction. "He's so tiny isn't he?" Or at least she thought it was a he. She wasn't sure if spider's had genders... She knew they didn't talk; all cubs and pups eventually learned this, but she hadn't bothered to learn about if they had genders. They probabley did, but Sahar was going to refer to this spider as a he. It looked like one to her.

"I'm not sure, he's a big responciblity." She replied calmly. "He needs a place where he can make a web." She said, as far as she knew spiders usually lived on the webs they made. "And he likes to eat other bugs." She remembered when a spider web was in her den once, a fly flew into it and the spider trapped it there. Sahar had been awfully bored that day, and watched as it started to eat the fly. It was sort of gross.
