Blacktail Deer Plateau The itsy bitsy spider

Saēna was so enthralled by the small, skittery black creature that she didn't even notice Tytonidae until the dark-furred girl exclaimed excitedly right next to her face. Her hair lifted into an alarmed crest, then flattened again when her bright blue eyes locked on her cousin and recognition conked her young brain into calming down. Her tail whipped faster and she yipped some sort of puppies only greeting, but in that span of time the spider began to make its heroic escape.

Saēna's peripheral vision, which had steadily been developing into something more and more useful, snagged the black thing and she whipped her head around to pin it with heated eyes. “Naaaaah!” she shrieked in a war cry for the ages as she bounced toward it again and smacked her paw down on top of it. Eeeee went Tytonidae, and the little Virtúte girl responded by doing an excited little puppy jig with her front paws.

When she stepped away from the spider, she saw it was no longer moving, but had curled up into a ball of legs. Dropping to her tummy, the girl wriggled toward it, snuffling noisily and eagerly awaiting its movement, which would almost certainly make her jump with shock and glee.
