Welcome to Gaia! ::

They crawled out of their den around the same time. Chika, older than her brother, was out first and stretching herself in the early morning sun. With a deep sigh of the chilly air, she was somehow already anticipating the day.

Eventually he purple brother, Takoda, came out of his den and greeted his sister with a brush of his long body against hers and then a headbutt.

"Hey, Chika," came his not quite cub-like voice. "Can we try for some zebra today? I'm tired of gazelle..."

Red eyes glared over at him and Chika huffed. "If you're going to get picky, try hunting by yourself, Takoda. You're old enough to." She gave him a push with her paw and a laugh before setting off. "We'll see though. See what's around today. Who knows. Maybe we'll get a wildebeest if it's already dead."

She was not above savaging a meal as big as that.

But with that, both siblings took off toward their morning watering hole that was a nice walk away. It got both of their legs warmed up, not to mention just themselves in general.

Takoda got to the watering hole first, at least that's what he thought. Little did he know Chika had taken a different route and came in from the side, tackling her little brother with a growl and then licked his weird tuft of hair that was growing longer each day.

"No fair, Chika!" He growled, tail flicking in an annoyed state.

"Life's not fair, Takoda. Get over it and get better!" A smile came to her face as she came to the water's edge and lapped at it quickly.

Takoda bit at her tail once before moving over to the side and shoved his face in the water. When he came up, the purple cheetah coughed a few times before sighing. Much more awake now. He then shook himself and started to lap at the water with gusto.
