Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ny thought this over for a moment. Two others? And they looked a bit like her, apparently. Although she was sure she was prettier. "Where're they?"

She let herself lean against one of Rahima's legs, shaking her salmon head a little. "Mama gave me food a'fore she fell 'sleep." She was full, and content, even though she hadn't actually gotten far in her explorations today. Still... there was always tomorrow. She just had to figure out how to get away from mama and Iffi.

[Sorry. I was replying to a huge RP on another site. x__X]

Ny shook her head a little. "Nope. Mama doesn't let me go out." True. Denge liked being everywhere her daughter was. Nyunya didn't really mind this much, but it seriously cut into her exploration time. And when she did manage to get away from her mother for a few moments, the caves were the last place she wanted to explore. She preferred the wide, open spaces, crawling over tree roots and chasing butterflies through the trees.

She had been about to say something, when she suddenly caught sight of a beetle crawling across the stones. She wiggled herself free of Rahima's paws with only a slight stumble, and crept after it, tail high in the air as she crawled after the unsuspecting beetle, chin to the ground. This was one of her favourite pastimes: stalking bugs, and trying to catch them. Of course, once she does catch them - if she does - she hasn't a clue what to do with them. It's just the thrill of the 'chase' that she enjoys.

And chase her beetle alone she did. She hasn't noticed Rahima's disappearance, her attention claimed by this small insect she's now trapped between her paws. She can feel it wriggling, tickling the sensitive pads, and little giggles fall from her maw. Then she releases it, watching it eagerly as it scuttles away from her, tail flicking. When she feels it's gotten far enough away from her, she pounces it again. This, she repeats.

Ny stopped at Rahima's words, turning to face her slowly, releasing the once again captive beetle from her paws. Goodbye? Already? But Rahima was family! Yet another thing the little cub didn't understand; it was never 'goodbye' with family, it was always 'see you in a little while'. Her black-tipped ears drooped a little as she made the slow walk over to Rahima, her expression rather sullen all of a sudden.

She perked up a little at Rahima's words, burying her face into the fur of her chest in a nuzzle, purring quietly for a moment. The knowledge that she'll see Rahima again has pacified her somewhat, although she still wished the femme wasn't leaving.

But she nods her head, and looks up at her. "Prob'ly," she murmurs. It was rare she got to be by herself, after all. Usually, where Denge was, Ny was there, too.

She dropped dejectedly to her rear on the smooth stone, her ears still a little droopy. She didn't really want Rahima to go. She felt comfortable around the female, and she liked that feeling.

"See you soon," she replies, and although she feels a little better at the promise, she still doesn't have the happiest tone. "Take care, too!" It only seemed polite to say such a thing, and Denge always wanted her polite. She waves a paw, watching Rahima go for a moment, before beginning to climb back up towards the den. Maybe she'd tell Denge who she'd met. Or maybe she'd wait until Rahima came back. The little cub didn't know, but she was suddenly anxious to snuggle up with her mother. And hopefully Denge was still asleep so she didn't get in trouble.
