The sun sat high in the sky above the black-pelted girl as she walked through the varying neutral areas. At seven months old, you would think that she would be safe in a pride, out of the way of all things callous and evil. But here she was, out in the boneyard, wandering aimlessly until she found something - or someone - to trouble.

With each passing day, Asura found herself growing increasingly bored. She lacked company - missed her family - and thus spent a lot of time in isolation. The cub lowered into a hunter's crouch as she spotted a mole in the distance, which in itself she considered strange. Focusing her concentration, the girl began to inch closer and closer to the target.

In her mind, she was going to be successful and eat a delicious snack. In reality, the mole had been scared away before Asura had even realised what had happened. As she was stalking, her left paw broke through a thin amount of dirt and collapsed into the mole tunnel, sending her head over heel and hitting the ground with a thud. "Damn Earth!" She spits, scrambling to her feet in the hope that no one had noticed.

Observe the flora of a neutral territory

A rhythm of panting came from the peach blossom as she weaved her way through the bones of many dead. The large skulls that could be found there was fairly frightening, but proved useful when need be- for she had passed the skull of an elephant, the petrified body of a leopard on its tusk.

Dark paws sent dry dust swirling into the air as she stopped, the green beneath the skull of a water buffalo catching her eye as she upturned it, revealing nightshade. She found it odd that anything could grow in the wasteland, but perhaps it was fitting that something deadly would indeed be what did.

Arachnae turned, continuing to pad along to perhaps find shelter from the painful sun somewhere- only to quickly be met with a young lioness rolling to her paws. She stepped back, surpised and wide eyed. "Goodness child, are you okay?"

Asura continued to scramble to her feet as best she could, but the dust from the dried earth was beginning to rise and it turned out that the girl had created quiet a commotion. So much for being smooth and subtle, huh.

Goodness child, are you okay? The words that slipped from @Arachnae's lips hit the Casimir light a freight train, and she immediately turned herself around to look at the peach lioness. "Yes, duh!" She spits, almost as a hiss, mildly offended that anyone thought she wasn't okay. Asura was wrapped in embarrassment, but hid it instead with anger. "What you watching me for? You some kind of stalker?" She asks, dual-toned eyes forming a slit as she examined the woman that stood before her.

Observe the flora of a neutral territory (2/2)

Arachnae lifted a brow in amusement, but didn't chuckle- that would probably have small claws aimed at her cheek, and she didn't feel like holding a child down while trying to convince an offended mamba to stay still around her neck. A dangerous scarf to play games with, kiddo.

"Of course, I'm silly to think anything else. You're too tough to get hurt, right?" She asked, grinning with a sly expression to show her long fangs. Her grin dissapeared as her gaze caught something beside the cub- a turtle shell, the ends of something trying to grow out from beneath it. Hwr dark paw reached out to flip the empty shell, revealing camomile just beginning to sprout- wide way, oddly enough. Very odd. "Well that's.... Weird." She mumbled to herself. She didn't understand how even dry area plants could stand to grow in the scorched, dusty ground- beneath skull and bones at that.

Asura stood her ground and carefully watched @Arachnae. The Casimir did not believe her kindness: only idiots believed in the kindness of strangers. Kindness got you killed. "Got to be tough to get anywhere." The girl retorts after a moment, dual-toned eyes watching the peach lioness carefully.

It was when Arachnae moved closer to the black-toned lioness that the girl moved backwards, despising being close to anyone in case the situation was to turn sour. She frowned. "What's weird? Some weed growing in some stupid shell?"

Teach someone under 2 years old about plants

Arachnae disregarded the girls stingyness. She was a young woman, after all- hormones of hatred were raging at her age.... She thought, anyways. She wasn't even being paid attention to when she was that age- she didn't have anyone to sass to. Oh well. Better to just let it be rather than slapping her arrogant little ass.

And thus she showed what.... Seemed to be interest in the plant? "Its chamomile. I use it to help me sleep during the day.... Like I should be now. I am up at night, normally.... But I couldnt rest. And this-" she said, showing the toxic plant secured in Rawkshi's tail, "is nightshade....." She grinned, "guess what it's used for."
