"Help yourself, there's more where that came from." Arca tries to quickly finish the sweeping and gets all the dust out of her cave. "There we go." She rubs two of her legs together like hands to brush the dust off of herself. "Now to decorate." She walks to a spot near a wall. Using her back legs, pulled some silk from her abdomen. She places the tip to the wall that stuck fast. Getting to work she started weaving her silk. She then climbs the walls of the cave to work higher up. After about two minutes, Arca had made a decent hammock. "There, it's a start. Still much to do but there's no rush. So my dear girlcub, what should we do today?"

Anika quickly helped herself and bit hard on the mango, breaking the skin. Her eating habits were very much like her fellow wolves so some juice managed to drip from her lips. In just a few bites, only the pit remained and Anika wiped off any remaining juice with her arms.
"Well you know me," Anika said. "I'm always up for anything. Challenges or just playing."

"Hmm, How about the one you like the best? Catch me." The game was like hide and seek with some tag mixed in. Anika would try to hide while Arca would seek her out and would try to catch her with her silk. It was fun and helps sharpen their hunting skills.

"Catch me? Here? In your cave? Where you have the home field advantage?" Anika questioned. Then she raised her hand in the air. "Arca, I accept your challenge!" she declared smiling.

Arca chuckled a little. "You haven't changed. Never backing down from a challenge. Wouldn't want that to change, atleast not too much." Thinking back it was Anika's daringness that lead to them meeting. The arachnid turns around having her back to the girlcub. "Ready yourself I will be coming for you soon."

"Well not in this life," Anika replied.
Yeah, it was a dare set on the jungle girl by some of King Louise's monkeys to get back at her for what she did to the lousy ape... but that's a different story. And there wasn't much time to reminisce as the arachne turned her back towards the jungle girl. Rather than a verbal answer, Anika simply stood in a challenging stance.

"You know you might have some of the advantage since I just cleaned the cave, so there won't be much of my webs to slow you down. For the moment. Three, two, One." Arca turns around ready to start.

As Arca spoke, Anika ran with great speed further into the cave and into its caverns. She didn't actually hear the counting start but she wasn't gonna wait around. Anika found a part of the cave that didn't appear to be covered in webs and so she slipped right in. She tried to stay as quiet as possible.

Arca walks at a normal pace into her caverns. Her steps were light so she could listen for any sounds. She even a few times sniffed the air. Her nose might not be like a wolves, though neither was Anika's as was a human trained by wolves. But sometimes Anika would have a strong scent of forest that even she would be able to track. So far what she could catch was the scent of cool air and a bit of muggy. The caves were dim as Arca hasn't put back up the glow stone yet. A type of stone that can be found in places from both volcano and fresh water. Nobody really understood how they were made. But in the water if you dig enough you'll be able to find rocks that actually glow when in dark places. Arca found one before but the others in her caverns were a gift from her friend. 'She is good at this game, but so am I.' Arca thought as she continued searching.

When Anika spotted the arachne passing by, she thought it would be good to venture for a new hiding spot soon. Once Arca was out of sight, the jungle girl slowly climbed out and tried to escape before finding a new place to hide... but she didn't know that a spider had climbed on to her foot only to be unintentionally kicked off as Anika moved. The spider thought it was a rude gesture and caught up to Arca to complain.

Almost a funny fact was that Arachne's can understand normal spiders. A few small ones lived inside Arca's cave that dealt with the small pests. The tiny spider crawled up Arca's leg and up her back till it reached her hand. Arca let's it reach her finger and holds it up eye level. The tiny spider complains to her that a girlcub had walked passed it's home and knocked it around. "Thank you, I will deal with her personally. Which way she go." The spider tells the arcahne before Arca puts it back on it's web home. Arca follows the direction the spider said. It then comes to her, a faint scent of forest trees.

Anika found a divet in the cave that she could squeeze into and she did so just before she heard the arachne creep not too far behind. Anika stayed still and as quiet as possible, hoping Arca would just pass by.

While walking, Arca was pulling some silk and started gathering some in her hands. Multitasking, she started to also spin the strings together. She notices a divet. Knowing the girlcub she would very likely use that spot to hide. She readies her threads to throw and guess if the girlcub was there. 'One, two, throw,' she thought and threw it in like a whip, but it wouldn't be painful when it made contact.

Since the webbing wasn't painful, the tough as nails jungle girl made no attempt to make a sound or movement at the action. Anika secretly gave a smile. 'Is that the best you got?' she thought.

"Not even close, you should know that," right as she said that she gave a tug on the thread to pull her out of the divet. While her hands held the thread, she used a back spider leg to pull some more strings from her abdomen. A bit like a contortionist, she was able to bring her back leg to her hands. Freeing one hand she took the new string and tosses it to the girl which stuck to her skin.
