[Open] Kopa's Pride

[XeaxlXV]

Bora turned to Ashiki with a rather large smile on his face. "You mean I finally get to do something for the pride?" He asked, rather hopefully. Life had been dull for Bora the past few weeks, and he was always hoping for something, anything, to get rid of the boredom. As he turned to Mheetu, seeing him having eaten already, he realized his stomach was rumbling, but he decided he would ignore it until they found Kopa and brought him back. As he turned, yet again, back to Ashiki, he remembered they day Ashiki had joined. He was still rather weak and still just a cub, but he had been at the point of healing where he could walk around and do a lot more than he could before.

His attention shifted to Laini as she began to walk out of the cave. "Hey Laini, looks like someone's finally up." He joked around, knowing full well that her pregnancy restrained her from doing too much. "So, how long do you think before your cubs get here, a few more days?" He asked, wondering what it would be like to have more cubs around in the cave.

As Laini walked outside of the den, she noticed her mate and friends a short distance from the den standing by the river. It was a big relief from her that they weren't far, even he shortest walk could tire her out very quickly. She smiled back at Bora, taking what he said as nothing but a joke made out of boredom, "Yeah, It seems so." she said and sighed, She wished that the cubs would just come out already. The nervousness of becoming a mother was killing her, and so was carrying the cubs in her belly and not being able to do anything. But she pushed those thoughts aside as she arrived by the group and sat herself down next to her mate.

"Yeah, that makes sense. We can catch something big, that way everyone can enjoy some breakfast even though Mr. King hasn't woke up yet!" Kichaa stretched her back out and stuck out her claws. "Oh hey, good morning Laini." Kichaa was excited about the upcoming cubs. She was still too young to have cubs herself but the idea of being able to play with some soon was exciting for her. "So Ashiki, do you think we should head out? I smell a herd not too far from here."

Bora gave a smile at Laini before sitting down, waiting for Mheetu to be ready. "Well that's good... I wonder what it's going to be like having cubs in the pride..." He stated before his thoughts started to wander back to his former pride. What had happened to them? Had they gone looking for him? Maybe they didn't even care that he was gone. After all, he was only a child when he'd gotten lost. They probably didn't even notice he was gone until much later. Soon, Bora went from sitting to laying down and absorbing the heat in his fur. "Ah well, we'll find out when they get here..."

Laini then looked at Mheetu. Her mate seemed rather quiet today for some reason, as if he was bothered by something. She wandered wheher he was excited about the facts that they were both about to become parents in a few days. "Everything okay with you hun?" she asked, looking at him with her big glassy eyes, before laying her head down on his shoulder, drawing comfot from his warm fur and mane like she always did when she was nervous, "You seem troubled."

Ashiki turned her attention to Laini. The beautiful lioness was due very soon. She, like most of the pride, was looking forward to their birth. She hoped their would be more than one. She longed for cubs of her own, but she was not quite ready for that yet. She smiled at the feline.
Her attention turned towards Bora, who was clearly excited. She rolled her eyes and swatted the young cub. "That excitement will get you into trouble one day." she growled, teasingly.
Her attention was then pulled by Kichaa, who had asked her a question. "Yes, Kichaa. Let's go." She purred. She rubbed past Laini and quickly padded down the cliff trail, pausing for Kichaa to join her. "Come on, tortoise!" she growled.

(sorry! I had no clue this rp was starting!)

Kopa awoke with a yawn. He blinked his eyes open and stretched his legs. Morning already? But I was having such a wonderful dream! He had dreamed that he was in the jungle all alone. He had began to walk around when it started raining bugs! Kopa jumped with joy and began slurping them from the ground and gulping them up as they fell from the sky. He had eaten so much that he had grown up! He had ran back to Priderock and Rafiki crowned him king. He was just about to make is roar when he had woken up.

Well, so much for that. Kopa thought sadly as he snapped back to the real world. Well, I might as well see what everyone else is up to this morning. He walked out of the cave of Priderock and looked up at the sky. "Nice weather today..." He commented out loud to himself. He continued on.

Bora had just been getting ready to go when he saw Kopa coming out of the cave. "Aww man... there goes my activities for today..." he mumbled, letting out a sigh. Being an adolescent lion, he was a bit too old to play little games, but since he wasn't an adult yet, he couldn't go out and hunt or do anything with the rest of the full grown lions. So, with nothing to do, he decided to sunbathe on a rock by the river. However, he kept one eye open, observing Kopa as he seemed a bit down.

Kitama breathed softly, her prey limping a few feet in front of her nose. She was crouched low to the ground, waiting for the perfect moment to pounce upon the prey--a young groundhog, out of its parents' hole. The older, dull tawny lioness was completely focused...

And then, there was noise.

"Damn young'uns," she grumbled as the groundhog scurried down into its hole.

Kitama was an older lioness who'd been best friends with Sarafina since cubhood. She followed her everywhere loyally, even as she followed Kopa and became a part of his pride. Kitama was a quick-witted, somewhat gruff lioness who enjoyed hunting more than the average lioness. Her deep brown eyes were always darting to and fro, assessing her situation everywhere she went and checking for possible confrontations. Her black-tufted tail never remained still--it was always twitching in anticipation, even in her sleep.

The old lioness flexed her claws in mild frustration before sauntering towards their leader, Simba's son--Kopa. Her lithe frame flexed as she sat back on her haunches next to the younger male lion.

"Good mornin'," she greeted, a short breath of frustration exiting her nostrils in a rush. She kept an eye out for Sarafina as she sat.

"Okay okay, I'm coming!" Kichaa said with a cheesy smile. She followed Ashiki suit down the cliff tail. Being young, Kichaa was still learning when it came to hunting, but she still wasn't half bad at it for her age. The pride was very helpful when it came to teaching her and she was grateful for it. "I smell the herd, I'm pretty sure it's zebra. If we take down one, it'll be plenty of food for the pride." Kichaa followed her nose and saw the herd, she was right, it was zebra. "Well, there's tall grass right over there. One of us could hide in there while the other one chases a zebra into the grass. Whoever's hiding can surprise it and take it down. Do you think that's a good idea?" Kichaa was hoping it was she really wanted to be a skilled huntress one day and part of it was coming up with hunting plans.
