Callie & Ty

Ty had found a small ant mount and squatted down near it to investigate the little army of sisters that roved about around it. He knew from past experiance that ants, as little as the were, could still deliver a painful bite and sting. As the youngster sat there, pondering what he should do with the little ants, a misqueeto suddenly alighted on his knee and bit him. Frowning and opening his mouth in a look of contempt against the winged attacker, Ty swatted it and smashed it against his leg. Frowning anew, he plucked the half-mashed insect from his leg and dropped it by the ant mount, then watched as a group of sisters investigated the offered meal and dragged it away underground. He grinned a bit at this and searched around for other bugs that he could offer the ants.

Callie had found a large oak nut and plucked the fuzzy 'hat' off of it. Curious and spurred by hunger, she plopped the nut in her mouth and began to chew. A moment later her face crinkled up and her tongue came out, holding the crunched up, soggy nut. "Icky! Yuck!" she exclaimed, beginning to spit all she could of the nut out, but the bitter tasting tanins stayed in her mouth. "Yuck!" Unable to get rid of the bitter taste, Callie leaned towards the ground and... licked the dirt and grass! Not minding the musty taste of the earth, she continued to lick at the ground until the bitter taste was gone. But now, bits of dirt and other such things clung to her tongue and all around her mouth. Once more, she began to spit, trying to get the particals from her mouth.

Jaden

The cougress walked over to the little girl as she tryed eating the nut then licked the ground. She smiled but knew Callie was hungry. Sitting next to the girl she purred and tikled her with her tail. Jaden layed down inviting the girl on her back where she would to take her to find food and water. Nearby there was a bush of rasberries where Jaden would take Callie.
