Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some ways into the forest, passed the thick wall of trees and across a moldy trunk above trinklets of water, rested another Q'ntor. She was wide away as she had been since morning's dawn. Though her way of resting was to do nothing at all in her days but to lounge and groom. And grooming she did, taking deep pride in her vibrant coat of gold and blue. But small eyes were always on the alert, scouting her terrain every few moments. As precious as her fur was, it often drew in unwanted attention because of its bright colors. Lulai often found herself prey to a hunt, and thus learned to be cautious at all times.

There, her grooming session was complete. And the result was wonderful, if she did say so herself. A shiny coat was much more marvelous than a matted excuse of fur. Iulai raised a brow as her vainful pride was interrupted though as a small frog leapt before her paws. It was a river frog, tiny as a pebble and greener than grass. "Little midget." The cub flicked the frog with her short claw, smirking as she watched him hop off with a croak.

Then ears pinned. Something was walking along the bushes behind her. It wasn't wind, obviously, and it was too noisy to be another frog. Iulai's masked face turned to investigate, and she blinked in surprise. Another Q'ntor? How interesting. She smirked while lifting her chin. "Aww, and who is this?"

Iulai just twitched her muzzle in slight amusement to the other's first reaction. He seemed like a fish without lips, choking in surprise. But that soon changed as he stiffened up, looking more like an older cub than before. Amazing what small adjustments to stance can do to body language. She wondered how she appeared now then. "Heh, you heard me right. So don't make me repeat myself." She stood and padded over to the other slowly, keeping a cautious distance. "Unless you're deaf. Are you deaf? Otherwise you'd know who, being the question came from my own mouth."

(gah! Soooo sorry for the delay. Internet was slow then guild wouldn't join me) x__x


"Surlor? And what kind of name is that? Sounds like a vain attempt of sounding royal." The female chuckled to herself, amused by her own jesting. She swayed her tail lazily as she stood, raising a brow to this stranger of the same species. How delightful to meet another. "Iulai, if you must demand it." The girl sniffed the air softly, wondering just where this other appeared from. Would there be more to see?

"Oh, no insult at all. Just an opinion. But it is funny to see your fur bristle at your jumble of letters." The youth giggled to herself bafore making a half curve around the other. He was definately the same creature as herself. It was just too interesting to finally meet another, and a boy no less. Well there goes any chance of girly chattering, and she only assumed males liked challenging interactions.

"Hm? I came from under some fallen logs, not too far away." It was a nice mossy home, if anything. And she had these whole woods as a backyard for exploring.

Paws gave a halt to that, and lulai stood close to the other, nearly breaking his personal space. "All girls? Have you met more of us then?" She was curious, no doubt, but she tossed her hair from her eyes as she stepped away. "Well let me assure you, none of them are like me! How boring would that be?" Her tail twitched though as she sneaked glances around the forest. So there were more of their kind, somewhere out there..

Ears pinned and lulai hunched her shoulders, back fur bristling. "Got a problem with that? Then leave, go back to your home of riches." She gave a confident nod with a crooked smile at the other. They came, they seen, they left. No big chapter to her life. If anything, it just broadened her perspective of the world around her. How she'd react to that though, she was undecided.
