[Open] Kopa's Pride

[AdAstrα]

Chiwa devoured the meat rapidly,afraid that it would be stolen from her if she did not. Looking up,however,she soon realised her mistake; the others were too busy eating to even pay her much attention. Who was to say they'd be quite so friendly once they finished,though? The king was not yet aware of her presence,and most kings she had encountered had all been very protective of their kingdoms. How would this one react to seeing a stranger in their midst?
Deciding it would be best not to think about that right now,Chiwa turned to the lioness from whom she had recieved the piece of zebra meat. "Thank you." she said gratefully. "Thank you for...well,everything." she added in a lower voice.

As she watched the lioness eat, happy that she was not in extreme pain anymore. However, she wondered how Kopa would react to her appearance. But for now, all that mattered was getting this stranger back to her health. "You're welcome." Ashiki responded softly. She laid her body down. "What happened to you? How'd you get hurt?"

[AdAstrα]

"I was trying to hunt." Chiwa replied,beaming at her. "But you know..zebras are tricky if you're all by yourself. I should have gone for something smaller but I got a bit..carried away,I guess." She gazed at the lioness for a while,wondering what she was thinking. Chiwa wasn't used to interacting with other lions and found herself amazed by how similar they actually were,despite the many differences in appearance. Realising that it might make her feel uncomfortable,however,she looked away. "So..it's a nice kingdom you got here." she said, "Nothing like the Outlands."

Mheetu smiled at his mate "Thats great! They can catch more than I can!" He laughed licking his mate on the cheek. He was hungry so he went to catch something for himself, he went over to the zebras and pounced on a male. The Zebra ran off with Mheetu on it's back, It ran off into the mist and Mheetu still held on trying to pin it down. It wouldn't stop. Mheetu was clever and pinned it down and killed it but he was now lost. He ran in one direction that he THOUGHT was right but he kept going in circles. That was a misty place not like where he lived.

Bora turned to Ashiki as she gave him a nudge towards the kill. "Uhm... I guess, if you say so..." Unsure still, Bora slowly began to pad towards the zebra, taking small bites out of the hide while everyone else ripped through theirs. Bora usually was more upfront and outgoing, but seeing as there was a new lioness around, he was feeling rather shy and didn't want to embarrass himself or his pride in front of her.

Laini purred slightly as Mheetu licked her cheek, before laying herself down in another part of the cave so that anyone who was still hungry could have more space near the dead zebra in case they needed it. She then noticed her mate walk outside again and shook her head. "I thought you were hungry!" she called after him, but he seemed to haven't heard her. But she pushed the subject aside, telling herself that he'll come and eat later if he wanted to as she lay her head down, her gaze randmly falling upon the dark lioness Ashiki and Kichaa found. She wandered so many things about her, but asking about her past seemed rude. She's met a few rogues before, and those encounters taught her that most rogues didn't have a very pleasent past, nor many of them wanted to talk about it

Ashiki nodded. "I've been kicked by a zebra before. It was one of the worst experiences of my life." she explained, thinking about her first hunt. She licked her lips, feeling one of the four scars on her face. "Now, where are you from? The swamp outside the valley is horrible. Full of mist and death, so you can't be from there." The wheat-colored lioness had heard her mention something about the Outlands.

[AdAstrα]

"No." Chiwa said,shaking her head. "I was born in a place called the Outlands. It's very far away from here. I've been wandering around for...well,a while."
She smiled at the lioness,feeling a bit nervous but trying her best not to let it show.

[kmay571]

"The Outlands?" Ashiki asked, but shrugged. She had guessed it was a bad place. She looked up over the valley, noticing Mheetu was missing. "Laini, where did your mate go?"

[TheWhistlerify]

Laini opened her eyes so that she could look at Ashiki. She heard her talkingto Chiwaa about the outlands, and knew that it was nothing but a barren land, not a very good place to grow up and / or live at. "He went outside a few minutes ago." Laini said, she was used to not seeing Mheetu for hours straight, and since he was only gone for a few minutes she wasn't worried. "Weird, I thought he was hungry."
