Wisps in the Willows

"Ah great, thanks!" Ari plopped herself down next to the other girl, ready to learn. Get this education started. She grinned at Lukina, bearing the thick oversized teeth the girl had been admiring. "I'm Aris Fatalis! But call me Ari. I'm from the Armada, my dad's the alpha there. This is Tansy, she's my cat. So... your cousin knows what like... poisons?" The spark of interest was obvious in those blue eyes, but when Tansy poked at her with a warning hsst she settled back for her edicating - though she stuck her tongue out at the cat.

She leaned forward to study the icy tree in more detail. A terrible reaction eh? "Neat! What kind of reaction?" The possibilities with that one were endless... She gave the fox her most charming smile in the hopes of being enlightened.

Of course the actual uses were pretty good too, so the girl committed them to her admittedly formidable memory along with the sight of the tree and its species. Take care as she pushed the borrowed bowl ahead of her she went to a tree. Her claws sprang free of their sheaths, the natural feline weapons she kept carefully sharpened gleaming wickedly. Not knowing Lukina had her own secret retractable weaponry, she gave the albino pup a sly grin and flexed her paws so the claws showed off to their best advantage, then ran them delicately along the trunk to peel off strips of bark. Watch a boring normal wolf's claws do that! The leaves were easy, just run the thin branch between two toes so her paw pads caught the leaves and stripped them off. Easy peasy. She flexed her forepaws a couple more times to clean the bark from the gleaming surfaces before resheathing them with a flourish.
