Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rook sidled along, letting her legs drag as she struggled to keep up. "Mooooom! I'm tired!" She called foward. "Can't we take a break?" She asked. The warmer weather, however mild the difference, was already getting to her, used to snow and a harsh, white landscape. The greenery was a curiousity to the pup, and she would every now and again stop to admire some plant or other, falling further behind.

At one point, she almost caught her nose in a venus flytrap, unfamiliar with the plant. She prodded Kaemes and Kimor curiously, pointing at the plant. "The toothy bean thing tried to eat me!" She complained, trying to ignore any weird looks she got from the pair.

Kora stopped and smiled at her pups. "I wouldn't put your nose near that thing, Very dangerous. No, No I wouldn't change The way we live for anything. First off I don't want you guys to grow up not knowing what your father looks like. Second we need to gather more bedding for our den and you can't get any of it in the North," She said to them. Kora looked up at the sky. It was starting to darken and it wasn't fun to travel around here at night. Not to mention It would be hard to keep track of everyone and the pup would probably end up getting lost.

Kimor wasn't exactly paying attention to what his mother said as he ran back to the strange plant. He put his nose closer too it than Rook had and the voracious plant clamped shut on his nose. He let out a growl and a yelp and the same time. He used his front paw to try and scratch his way free while pulling away from the plant with his other 3 legs. "Mom," he whined. The sound was muffled due to the predicament that he had gotten himself into.

Kaemes nodded as his mother spoke, sighing. “I suppose I understand that, but really, I could do without knowing what father looked like,” he said, crinkling his nose. “I mean, I assume he has the kind of looks we have, 'cept without the pieces of you in it!”
glancing back when he heard the outcry, his eyes widened. “Kimor!” He scrambled back, growling at the plant. “Bad plant! You don't get to eat Kimor!” He said, whacking the base of the plant below where Rook was biting, but his tiny claws didn't help much.

Rook watched carefully, making sure to log the method in her mind for future reference, tilting her maw softly as she watched Kimor go o play with the Bamboo. "What're you doing, Kimor?" After a long moment, a viscious thought came to mind, and she grinned softly. Time for her to be an antagonist to annoy her brother. She hadn't even considered what her mother might do to her, though. "Kimor, behind you! Another mouthplant!" She called, feigning alarm and looking, rather simply, for a reaction.

Kora sighed. Pups could move on and forget things quite swiftly without learning anything. "Come one we should keep moving," she said before realizing that Rook was picking on her brother. "Be nice to Kimor," She said sternly. Kora started moving on deeper into the bamboo forest. Occasionally she would taste the air for Urusinus' scent. She could smell it faintly. She was half listening to the pup's chattering behind her. "Hurry up or You'll be left behind," Kora called back to them.

Kimor stopped and turned around his tail waging back and first. "Making noise. Where is it Rook?" he asked sounding rather excited about another one of the mouthplants. He had plans of teasing one in his head. He could spend a whole night figuring out ways to tease one and never get bored. He had already gotten over the other one biting him nose. He looked around trying to find one but his tail drooped when he realized there weren't any around. "That's no nice! You get my hopes up and then there isn't any," He said glaring at Rook then stalking away after his mom.

“It's cause you're a girl, Rook,” Kaemes said, matter-of-factly but more as a tease, giving her a crooked grin. “Girls are suppose to be nice.” He flicked his tail, padding up to their mother's side when she chided them about falling behind. Glancing at Rook as she mentioned about another scent, he breathed deep, inhaling only the faintest traces of foreign scent. He tilted his head to the side, drawing as much air into his lungs as possible. Was that what they're father's scent was like?
Instead of speeding up, Kaemes pace slowed until he was dragging behind his siblings, a reluctant look on his face. He didn't want his family to change, he liked them the way they were. Did they really need a dad? Huffing, he dragged his feet and stared at the ground as he barely moved with each step.

The young fae harumphed at her brothers and stuck her tongue out at them, before listening to her mother. She tilted her head curiously before trotting up to her mother to stay close, as instructed. Her tail batted the air excitedly at the prospect of learning. Learning was always fun, especially with mamma. "We gonna use our noses to hunt?" She asked, feeling suddenly full of an energy inexhaustible, ready to chase one of those hares that she could never seem to catch. "What's food like down here, mamma? Is it fast, like the white rabbits back home?"
