Verdigris Ravine jobal kha'jay

She sought @Chisa today, a jumping mouse clutched delicately in her jaws. The poor rodent was still alive - Ki'ra having trapped it in a similar fashion to when she and Aylah had discovered them - and she intended to show the exciting thing to her sunshine sister.

Slowly, steadily, the trails through the ravine became familiar to her the more she journeyed from the densite to the cave the others called their home, and to the dunes and rivers beyond. Sometimes she would find a nook to sleep out the sun, but she would always return to her family when the moon rose. Tail whipping against her hocks, she let out a muffled yip to call for her sister.

She had been enjoying the day, always exploring, ever curious! She had been walking near home when had heard a yip. It was her sister!! She lit up and trotted toward her swiftly nearing sister, “Kira!” She said happily then asked, “What does one carry?” It looked like food but… it was alive no?

She now stood before her sister, curiously looking at it, then her. “Mouse?”

Ever the happy-go-lucky one, Chisa'a arrival was the sun come to life. Her energy was infectious, and soon Ki'ra body vibrated with excitement as she dropped her prize in favour of conversing. It was easy, so easy to talk with her sister - easier than she had found with Andi or even her mother. 

"Jumping mouse!" she exclaims, "this one caught it for Chisa." Stunned, the little creature stood petrified and unmoving in the sand. Poking it with her nose revealed the reason for its name as it began to hop clumsily away from the pair. A wide-eyed stare met her sister's own gaze as she waited, curious, to see how she would react.

I love these two, :D and threading with you is lovely. Their fun sisters.

She could sense her excitement, it was mutual! She loved her sister, she dropped it, and so she leaned in to get a better look at it. Then looked back up at her sister again, “Wow!” It was for her! What a surprise, she was not expecting it, “this one love surprises! Thank you Kira!” She licked her nose, then asked, “chase mouse?” 

It had tried to clumsily run away from the both of them, what were they gonna do? She had never eaten a living mouse before, everything brought from mum was already done in. She also remembered what aunty Koa told her, that food was not toy….
