Boredom and loneliness had been starting to get the better of the spider child. A majority of her time was spent off in an isolated cave she had found, wandering about in it and playing games with herself. She wouldn’t bother adults with her boredom, and she didn’t feel enough enthusiasm for playing to seek out others her age. The newness of her ‘home’ was beginning to fade, and she finally decide to pull herself from the dark cave to do something other than eat and drink.
Another game of pretend ensued with the only playmate Jorogumo had, herself. She found herself chasing imaginary enemies and vanquishing them with her horn. Such a display would be quite comical to any passerby. When she was chasing a rather tough enemy, the filly felt her legs come out from under her, and before she knew it, her body hit the snow. A giggle escaped from her lips despite the slight bit of pain. As she stood up, a foreign scent caught in her nostrils. Curiosity swelled up inside of the child and she decided then she would discover who else was roaming about. Since her arrival, Jorogumo had only met the kitsune-tamer and Kisaki. A thought then hit her. Did any stallions roam about the Basin? Or had she wandered into a place dominated by females? No, that couldn’t be, after all, if there were foals there had to be stallions. Mother had explained quite explicitly where foals came from, and they most definitely didn’t come from where so many foals believed them to be from.
Two figures stood off in the distance. One of them had quite a few horns. She cocked her head slightly and drew closer. They wouldn’t hurt her, after all, she was one of their own. The filly walked right up to the two figures, and kept her distance at first. For a long moment she studied them with her pale eyes. The stallion had a sort of menacing air about him, that did leave the filly feeling a bit nervous her curiosity was greater though.
First she watched the mare with a ridiculous amount of horns. Wasn’t one horn enough for her? Maybe it was prettier where she came from, but Jorogumo found it quite bizarre. The filly closed the distance between herself and the adults. Without a word she went up to the mare first and sniffed her briefly, and then almost did the same to the stallion, but she decided against it with the unsettling feeling she got from him. Instead, she just turned toward the stallion and stared at him with a contemplative expression. Would these two adults drive her off? It could be great fun to see how these adults to react to her presence. Mother had always told her not to stare, because her eyes could be quite frightening. I want to see if this stallion is as scary as he seems, She thought t herself. Only weaklings cower at my gaze. An odd thought developed by none other than herself, the spider child found it quite delightful to be able to truly think for herself.
"blah blah blah."
