Meadowlark Prairie Why are you keeping this curiosity door closed?

There was movement ahead, followed by the appearance of a pale form. The spiderling watched quietly, swept his raven ears back and ducked his frame low as he prowled forward, closer - not knowing that he had already been spotted.

It was not fear that encouraged him to hide, for Venamis was instead spurred by the predatory desire to spark such in others. As young and vulnerable as he was, he held a record of success in besting his siblings; clearly the smartest Melonii child, Ven felt it appropriate to think himself invincible.

He was not invisible, however, as Maegi madevto approach him. Disappointed frustration bloomed in the form of a frown on his features as the adult addressed him, and the boy straightened himself as he lifted his proud muzzle to better look upon her face. Failing to answer her question, the spiderling's pale eyes were at once fixed to the exposed fangs at the turn side of her muzzle, which he tried to mimic. Lips peeled back to reveal his own teeth, though he made a poor impression.

"What happened to your face?" Ven asked, perhaps a little too boldly or in a way that may be considered rude, and disregarded the wolfess' own request for information.
