A Private RP for Labatis

[Iri]

"That's fine," Chaltuu said, shrugging. She got frustrated many times, too, and she understood how he felt. She did feel a tiny bit of sympathy- something she rarely ever felt. The only other time Chaltuu ever felt pity for someone was when she had to hear the pained wails of Kapuki when she was exiled. "When I was younger," she said, "some other cub was teasing me, and I bit him. Gave him sort of a nasty infection, and he almost lost his front paw. Fortunately our 'shaman' was able to treat it, but the mother of that cub hated me even more so than she did before." Perdut... Hmm... That was an interesting name, though.

[Labatis]

"Good thing he was alright.." Angus had started thinking about his brother again, and how much Perdut looked up to him. What an adorable fuzzball, often tripping. It was like having a son, watching him grow and learn from Angus. He was glad that Perdut ignored being the bully Angus became.

(I need to hug Perdut now.)

[Iri]

"Yeah, I guess," Chaltuu agreed. She may have had a rough life, but Angus' life seemed harder in her eyes. Just the way that he seemed, the guilt he had to live with. He had to feel ashamed for what he did, of course. Chaltuu felt lucky. She had no impulse to hurt her sister, because Kapuki had been heir. That had always been fine with Chaltuu- nobody would accept a red-furred leader like her anyway. But just the way Angus had talked about it seemed like he regretted what he had done so much.

[Now that I can type faster using the computer, the responses won't take so long now. Even though this one is very late.]

Angus thought about many things, some on his past, some on hers. Yes, they had a couple things in common, but those things weren't like 'I love this too', they just had a bit of a similar background.

Fortunately, there was going to be a storm sooner or later, noticing the once white fluffy clouds turned into a dark shade of gray, which began to cover the sky. Fresh rainwater did soothe him, and the giant thunder and lightning strikes kept him entertained. Already, it was beginning to sprinkle, probably soon it would be pouring. He didn't mind getting wet, honestly, he'd dry sooner or later.

[Iri]

[Okay, that's fine. xD]

Chaltuu glanced up at the sky. "Hmm." She liked rain- it made her feel calmer for some reason. And the sky would darken, too. She stood up and felt the rainwater trickle through her fur before sitting down again. "I take it you don't mind rain?" she said casually as droplets of clear water splashed on her nose. The sky was already starting to darken and she could hear distant thunder rolling through the clouds. She hadn't seen lightning, which she took as a positive.

[Labatis]

"Not at all." Angus looked up at the sky, having to close his eyes as the water hit his face. Now when the droplets hit the earth, it made a loud plop noise, and the water hole not far from them began to fill up. Within seconds, the rain suddenly poured, like it usually does. Every once in a while a small flash of light blinded them, but the lightning was distant. Angus expected the rain to stop for a minute or two, then continue sprinkling and pouring.

[Iri]

Chaltuu turned and clambered up on a stone she often sat on. She simply laid down, resting her chin on her paws. Thinking, and wondering. How big was Kapuki now? Had Kapuki forgotten a tall, lanky russet-furred lioness named Chaltuu? Did Kivuli and Uangaze have another cub? If they did, how were they treating that cub? If so, was Kapuki looking after the cub? Was Kapuki even alive? Chaltuu certainly hoped so. She cared for the tawny young lion, however, she wouldn't be all that shocked if Kapuki hardly remembered her.

[Labatis]

Angus leaned onto his side, watching the rain fall before him. "What was that sound?!" A small voice squeaked, cowering at the loud, booming sound. "There is nothing to be afraid of, Perdut, it's only thunder. It can't harm you." The young cub snuggled into his brother's pelt, trying to keep safe from the 'thunder'. Angus gave a short smile, remembering how easily scared he used to get.

[Iri]

"Is thunder a monster?" Kapuki asked.
"No, Kapuki, it's just a sound," Chaltuu said.
Kapuki dove against Chaltuu's side, snuggling up against her and holding her paws over her ears to block out the thunder's roaring.
Chaltuu yelled and writhed when she felt a sharp, painful cuff across her ears.
"I told you that you are not to touch Kapuki!" her father bellowed, yanking the cub away and striking Chaltuu's shoulder. Kapuki wailed and squirmed, afraid and confused. The innocent cub didn't know a thing about Chaltuu's history with Kivuli.

Chaltuu jerked awake. She must have nodded off for a second. She glanced around, making sure that the wet drops from the sky weren't blood, but just water.

[Labatis]

Angus heard Chaltuu jerk awake, and he looked in her direction. "Um, you alright?" He asked, wondering what caused her to jump like that. Angus had to speak louder, due to the pouring rain and loud thunderclaps. This storm was most likely going to last a couple hours, and it would confuse him on the time on day until the sky was cleared once again. Not like he wanted the storm to end, he enjoyed it, because currently, when he remembered things, it was only the good moments with his brother.
