Trying to be so cool

The other girl seemed to be caught off guard, which she recovered from rather nicely. Introducing herself as Daelos, the young pup invited Jaidah to hunt for herbs with her. It was something that Jaidah hadn't really thought of before, but she supposed plants could be cool.  "What makes them cool? How do we know what we are looking for?" The question was posed in an innocent way, then Jaidah added, "I'm Jaidah, by the way. Nice to meet you!" A wide grin washed over the young girl's masked face, and she waved her crimson tail behind her. Maybe this would be an interesting friendship after all!

"Jaidah." "You." Think.
