[Open] Zira Succeeds

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki quickly ran inside, and like both Kiara and Vah expected, was completly stunned by the look of the 'den'. The ceilling was completly made of leaves and branches, and he could see a little bit of sun-rays coming in from between the spaces. The floor was grass, he never slept on grass before, and even more cool, it was huge! "Wow, this is awesome!" he said, looking from the den to Vah and then to Kiara few times and running in circles

[TheGunner18]

Vah smiled as he watched Muroki run around in circles, obviously excited about the prospect of staying and living here, which made Vah a very happy and relieved lion. Vah walked over to Kiara and sat down next to her, still watching Muroki bound around the place. It was like he had an endless source of energy, but that's probably what all cubs have, apart form Vah. He ususally kept to himself when he was a cub, and wasn't really very outgoing. He hadn't changed too much from when he was a cub until a few hours ago when he met Kiara, and boy, was he glad that Kiara had snapped that twig. If she hadn't she probably would've died on her own, and Vah would've carried on as normal every day. Doing that was getting very tedious.

Vah quickly cleared his mind of those thoughts and turned his attention back to what was happening in front of him. "Seems like he's having a good time, huh?" he quietly said to Kiara, still watching Muroki. Vah couldn't help but keep smiling at the cub, and he could tell that he was going to enjoy raising him along with Kiara's cubs.

Kiara smiled and grinned at the sight of Muroki, who seemed to have already looked at his new home twenty times without losing any of his interest in watching it again and again. She was glad that he was no longer sad like he was a few minutes ago, though she still wanted to know what happend to his parents and how. But she wasn't going to talk about it with him for at least a few days, untill he's managed to settle in his new habitant and fully move on from whatever happend before they found him. "Yeah. And for the record this is only because his looking at something new. Imagine what he will be like when he's playing or something..

It was then when Muroki stopped walking around in circles and walked over to Kiara and Vah. Kiara herself got a little dizzy from looking at him turning and turning and turning, but the cub himself seemed to be completly focused (which was even a little creepy). Wow, this place is so cool! Muroki said, smiling as he looked from Kiara to Vah a few times, and then glanced around his shoulder at the den again

[TheGunner18]

Vah put on a fake, exasperated look as Kiara started to tell him that Muroki would get even more excited and hyper when playing, let alone just now. "Oh god, tell me about it...And it's going to be me who'll have to play around with him most of the time!" He whispered, saying it in a mock annoyed tone. "I'll definitely be the one who'll need to play with him in the latter stages of the coming months, anyway." Vah told her, this time in a normal tone of voice because Muroki couldn't hear him anyway due to the fact he was totally immersed within his own world. Muroki then brought himself out of that world and walked over to Vah and Kiara, telling them how cool the den was. "Yeah, it is pretty cool, isn't it? And you'll be spending a long time in here, as you're staying with us." Vah then pointed over to the Wildebeest that he caught earlier. "I would suggest you go and get something to eat first, though. You'll need the energy."

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki only then managed to notice the dead wildbeest in one of the corners, and just remembered how hungry he was before Kiara and Vah found him. Oh goodie! he yelled, running over to the wildbeest

Kiara couldn't help but smile at Muroki's action. Whatever he did, he was just adoreable. And it seemed like that once he gets to know you, he becomes less shy around you and acts more like himself. Did Vah jsut said that Muroki would need energy? MORE energy? Muroki was like ten times more energetic than Kiara remembered herself as a cubl More energy? I think you just doomed us then. Kiara said, a laugh following what she said to tell Vah that it was a joke. She then however turned her voice into a quiet one, so that Muroki wouldn't hear them. What do you think happend to his parents?

[TheGunner18]

Vah chuckled when Kiara spoke, telling him that Muroki really didn't need more energy right now, and if he did get any more, they would all be in big trouble. "Well...It'll be fun to see what he's like when he's actually full of energy this time..." Vah smirked at this, wondering what Muroki would actually act like after he had eaten. It was then that he heard Kiara Ask about Muroki's parents, to be more specific, she was asking what happened to them. "His parents? I don't know...maybe they got killed by a rogue or something...or maybe they just accidentally lost Muroki and couldn't find him." Vah didn't want his parents to have died, he was too young for something like that to happen to him.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara sighed as Vah spoke, her gaze set on the little cub who was happily eating in the corner. Like Vah, she hoped that his parents haven't died, but she wnated to be sure, and asking Muroki seemed like a bad option. It wouldn't be fair of either her or Vah to ask him such a question for the time being, but she hoped that they really just lost him and nothing worse. It was painful enough for her to watch her parents die, but Muroki was just a little cub, while she was already an adult. "Do you think we should maybe look around the valley? In case they come searching for him?" she asked, still in a quiet voice. There was a chance that Muroki's parents were alive, and just lost him. And if they were, the biggest chance to find one of them searching for their cub was just after they lost him, which was today.

[TheGunner18]

Vah's eyes strayed from Muroki down to the ground in front of him and Kiara. Vah's mood had changed significantly over the last few minutes. It had changed from being very happy that Muroki was enjoying it here to very depressed about thinking where Muroki's parents were, and what happened so that Muroki was wandering around on his own, alone and afraid. "Well, looking for his parents seems like the logical thing to do, but...I have a really bad feeling that Muroki didn't just get lost, and I'm having a hard time thinking that that isn't true." Vah sighed, again looking over to Muroki, and then to Kiara. "What do you want to do?" He asked, completely unknowing of what to do at this point.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara nodded slightly at what Vah said, she was afraid to admit that he was probably correct by saying this. Muroki wasn't acting like a lost cub. If he was lost, then he would most likely not have chosen to stay here with them, but rather go looking for his parents. Also, when she asked him where was his mother a few minutes ago, all the question did was bringing the cub to the verge of tears. She figured that if he was indeed lost, then he would have had a different behaviour a few minutes ago. "I'm afraid to say that you're probably right. I mean remember how he didn't want to talk about his mother? It didn't seemed like he was just lost." she sighed, knowing that what she was telling Vah made perfect sense. "And if he was lost, he would probably be more eager on searching his parents rather than staying here with us."

[TheGunner18]

Vah slowly nodded, starting to accept the fact that Muroki's parents were probably not alive anymore. Unfortunately, Kiara was right with her theories. Vah didn't want her to be, obviously, but there was just oo much evidence pointing towards the death of Muroki's parents. "Yeah...I suppose you're right, but he seems to have put it behind him." Vah pointed out to Kiara, determined to look on the bright side of things, or at least, as bright as right now could get.

Vah started to wonder if he should ask Muroki about his parents, but decided against it, remembering what had happened the last time Kiara asked him. Vah remembered that soon, he would need to take Muroki out to explore the place, while Kiara stayed here to rest. "Hey Muroki, once you're ready, just tell me when you want to go exploring with me." Vah called, then turned his head to look at Kiara. "You sure you don't want to come with us?" He asked, just to make sure that she wasn't going, although she could've changed her mind.
