Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nae shook her head, pushing the leaves towards him. "No. Nothin happened. Now eat an quit being such a.... Male." She said sarcastically as she picked at more leaves, pretending to eat a few so he wouldn't be suspicious.

Arachne abandoned the leaves to watch him as he killed one of the wild dogs and began to eat on it. At first her stomach rolled in revulsion but she stifled that down and crept closer, her curiosity getting the better of her. If she was pregnant, would the children she bared have a taste for flesh? Would she begin to crave it as she grew bigger with the foals inside? "What does it taste like?" She asked curiously as she bent to sniff at the carcass.

Nae considered for a long moment before leaning forward and taking. Small, hesitant nibble. She chewed and discovered that meat was tangy and a lot tougher to chew than the herbs she was used to. The taste and texture wasn't entirely unpleasant, though it was vastly different from her normal diet. She swallowed after having chewed it to a consistency that was able to be swallowed. She then sniffed again at the metallic smell of the carcass before looking at D'von. "It's.... Different..." She said. Finishing the phrase in her head with a "like you."

Mae continued to nibble at the carcass beside D'von. If this was what her family was to eat, for she wouldn't tell D'von but she was fairly certain at this point that she was carrying, she might as well become acustomed to what they ate. But the sudden curling and fluttering if her stomach, shot her eyes open and he darted away and behind a boulder where the bare contents of her stomach soon became displayed for any to see if they happened to cross by this path. She coughed and shuddered as the wrenching came to a stop. Nae wasn't sure if it was the meat that made her sick or the little pests growing inside, but she felt that this would be a long pregnancy.

Nae shuddered and involuntarily leaned into D'von's nuzzle as he spoke to her. After a moment of her regaining her breathing and her stomach going back to normal she spoke to him. "Are you sure you should be traveling?" She Ske concernedly.

Nae stared at him uncertainly for a moment or so. Even though she had ears what he shouted to Ruin, it was still hard to believe that he possibly cared for Arachnae, especially after how had first reacted to her. Sighing she relented and motioned for him to lead the way, her inability to talk at the moment coming from confusion and uncertainty.

Days passed in a peaceful, but confusing blur. Arachnae was incredibly happy for D'von's company as they journeyed towards her mothers land. Though her mother ha recently Chosen, the mare was still uneasy around humans, therefor she settled a bit farther away than the rest of the bonded. Nae decided it would be okay to take D'von there. She had doubts that he would stay anyways, though she wished he would.

The green land became familiar as they plodded further north and her disposition greatly increased as she felt herself at home. She hasn't realized how much she had missed these lands. "D'von... What will you do when we arrive?" She finally asked one afternoon as they settle down by the river in the shade of a large apple tree.
