Welcome to Gaia! ::

small ooc edit sad *forgot to type this in* o_o yay piccu =3 )

"sounds good." Yakuti slowly padded up to the angered, half burried skitterything(new word for it.) Slowly she edged closer.. closer. Then she was suddenly in the air and landed on the little thing with both paws, effectivly breaking the stinger and killing, but not squishing, the scorpion.
She stepped back proud of herself then went to the task of digging up more bugs. She slowly padded aroudn the area ears pressed ot teh ground as she sniffed and listened, digging wherever she heard movment.. though it was uncommon in this heat.

Wokovu watched as his mom killed the evil creature by jumping on it. He snuck up on it cautiously swatting it and jumping away a few times to make sure it was dead. then he plopped down infront of it "Dibs on the evil hissing bug!" he chimed out, wanting revenge on it.

Makadari considered her answer before replying. I warn you not to waste water, Kinja. Water is sacred to the Blood, as I'm sure you know. Even the slightest shortage can cause the greatest damage to our people. Watch your step around that oasis, or I will be most displeased. Take not but your fair share. I will be watching. He turned and began to leave.

((Kimondo can stop him ifyou want. Sorry it's so short, and sorry it took me so long. x.x))

Wokovu looked between teh other cubs wanting to learn to hunt and his mother, who he found hunted in a very different way from the others. The cheeta, that was somewhat shaped like himself, went after really large and better tasting prey.
His mother on the other hand was going after these small things.. though they were scary too. He wasn't quite sure who he should go with, or if he was invited to go with his brother.

Yakuti was busy digging into the sand, sending it flying up behind her then grabbing a small beatle that had been trying to burrow. She gave it a small n** to kill it then set it with the scorpion, hoping nothing larger than her would be interested in her food..

Wokovu shifted uncomfortably, then stood in an attempt to copy his mother and dug a bit.. it didn't work to well. He found the sand got caught between his paws and that wasn't to fun.. so he plopped back down on his rear.

Yakuti noticed him and smiled a bit, with allmighty motherly knowing powers.. as much as she'd liek to be mroe motherly and teach him how to hunt bugs like she would her own kits she knew this wouldn't benifit him as he grew. So reluctently she trotted over to the thinking cub. "Why don't you go with Taka, your brothe rand the other cub and learn to hunt? that is if thats ok with them.." she paused looking up at the other half of the group letting them decline if needed.

He perked up a bit happy to have that decision made for him. He stood looking to the other felines with a bit of hope, deciding to ask "really?" as if the fox had been teasing him about going.

(wee longish o_O)

[; ; Gah, sorry I had internet problemos ><]

Taka nodded as Teule pounced to his brother's side. He grinned only for it to fall as he saw a very sad Jasiri. His tail dropped low as he followed Taka towards the antelope. Taka eyed her as well also giving Woko a playful smile as they walked.

"What's..the matter Jasi?"

Taka shook her head lightly, deciding to give Woko the low down on hunting.

"So Woko you ever hunted before, even a little animal or anything?"

Taka giggled absent mindedly as she listened to the cub's way of hunting, shaking her head in amusement.

"Well, that's how you would hunt little animals. But we're gonna catch us some atelope and the don't tendto hide in the ground. First thing you do is watch, wait for the right moment to attack, yes? Next you inch forward, real quietly until you think your close enough to attack, and then you SPRING FORWARD AND THE CHASE BEGINS! And that's when you start tripping them up and when they fall you latch onto their throat and their's your meal!"

The cheetah finished with an enthusiastic roar, clawing at the sand eagerly, watching the far off antelope graze warily.

"So ya ready?"

Wokovu watched as she explained hunting, for some reason it made excitment build up in his chest as he uncontiously flexed his claws in teh sand and holding his chest up a bit. ears leaning foreward to hear more.
they flicked back when she got louder but he was still just as interested. his little eyes shimmered. Nodding vigorously when he was asked if he was ready "Yea, sounds like fun!" he gave alittle growl and padded up next to her going over the steps she had told him in his head.

Wokovu perked up eyes narrowing on the jackrabbit he nodded clenching his little teeth. He hoped he could do this.. no. he would do this. If they could catch Taka's tail he could certiantly catch this little thing.
he crouched down fur color blending with the dunes as he slowly memorized where the rabbit had been and as softly as he could slowly belly-crawled to the unaware rabbit.

He poked his head over the dune then ducked back down, he didn't know quite what he was doing but.. with Taka's steps and his unknown firekin blood his body was doing just what it should. He built up all his energy and rushed over the rest of the dune, immediatly scaring the doomed rabbit into a frenzy as it ran for its life.

he chased it sloppily due to unexperience, but the rabbit made a slip-up and he acctually caught it! As his paws finnally tripped the rabbit he tackled it doing as the cheeta had ordered and dug his teeth into the neck the thrill of it all built up and made him give a tiny little muffled roar of triumph.

As soon as the rabbit went limp he forced himself up witht eh prey that was as big as himself and trotted over to his mentor. Ofcourse.. a normal cub his age probably wouldn't do this first try, but he was afterall firekin and blessed by the gods.
He plopped the carcass down staring at it a big grin plastered on his bloody jaw. then looked up to Taka "Did i do it right?" he held his his head high, chest puffed out and tail happilly swaying behind him.

(wee longish again. << and sorry for lack of immediate responce gaia was bieng a buttmunch as you know >_o )
