Last year, Cibex/Skulg made a trip to Arizona; incidentally, at the time, I was visiting family there for a couple weeks, so I had the honor of meeting her (as well as meeting/making friends with the awesome Seth (http://mottenfest.tumblr.com/) and Sasha)! Skulg was surprised by the heat. Being that I visit AZ quite often, I am very accustomed to hot climates. ㅇㅅㅇ
Skulg, on the left, belongs to Skulg! Go look at her lovely art at http://skulg.tumblr.com/ (=^ㅅ^)= The background, while heavily edited, is a generic stock image of the Arizona flag found on Google images. Astralis, the caracal, belongs to me.
Also, shoutout to the awesome Lindblut (http://lindblut.tumblr.com/), who was kind enough to redline/critique this and help me with the paws!
