Imani looked at the slightly frightened Auni as he backed away from her when she made the slightest of movements. How scary can I really be? She asked herself. But Auni was right...she knew Tanga didn't meant to pry and he was only looking out for her, but she couldn't help but be upset over the whole thing. She knew Tanga sought nothing but to be the best mate for her he could be, but she would have appreciated it if he had just left well enough alone. She turned her head away from Auni and looked to her paws. She was slightly distracted by the dirt in between her toes, but it faded away as she thought more about what he said. Eventually, the lioness's head came to a bobbing motion and she smiled lightly, looking back up at him. "Thanks Auni, you're a good friend" she told him, getting up to her paws. "But for now, I just need to cool down a little, as I'm sure he does as well".
When her mind wandered away, she perked her head and grinned over at Auni with a devilish look in her eyes. "So...," she moved closer to him, "I saw you checking Kioja out" she giggled, lightly prancing away from him so she could get a full view of his face. Unsure of what his reaction would be, she stood perfectly still to see how his face would turn when she knew she was correct about him possibly liking her.

Kioja and Kamau stayed silent, watching Mulfalfa walk off. "Is he that idiot you were with before you joined my pride?" Kamau asked.
"You bet'cha" she replied. Kioja was never Mulfalfa's mate, but she stuck close with him at one point in her life when she was younger and they traveled together. When she had met Kamau and his mate, Qwara, she decided to go with them instead of the idiot that was Mulfalfa. And her life had been better ever since. She was of course, one of the most dangerous lionesses in all the lands, known all around Africa that you shouldn't mess with her, but she was never able to get to the point she was in now without being in Kamau's pride. Besides, she had a high position to hold and a good friend in the pride leaders.
"Why did you keep him around?"
"I was young; I didn't know how much I would want to rid him of my sights until now" she replied without much emotion in her voice. Kamau looked at her, but she shot him a warning glare. "Don't even think about it, Kamau".
"What's the problem with me killing him?"
"He's Imani's sister's mate, and this wouldn't be too good for the children Ra is going to be having soon". No one had told Kioja that Ra was pregnant yet, but she had a keen eye for things like this, and she knew how to put two things together to make them make sense. "Just, don't go there. Besides," she smirked evily at him, "I have other plans for the twit" she hissed under her breath. Kamau, taking in her words, followed her grin with his own and they looked to where they saw him walk off to.
"No wonder you're the co-leader" he cackled low in his voice.
