[PRP] [Persikka & Tamu]

[Ritikine]

Persikka sat outside the dens, watching mothers and nannies tending to the young ones in the pride. He had been seriously considering the idea of being a nanny since he had helped Zimran watch some little ones, and it didn’t seem a bad idea. He had at least managed not to lose or fall on any of them, so that was at least a good sign. Plus all the other available ranks seemed a bit too physically demanding for him, or required him to have more knowledge of the pride than he did.

It was another beautiful day in the Pridelands, another day full of opportunity for fun and mischief. Tamu was on the hunt for the aforementioned things, and as he grew bigger in size, so did his curiosity and propensity for getting into trouble. That afternoon he'd managed to slip away from his mother and (by some miracle) his siblings, and had toddled off a good ways from their den. He'd gotten it into his head that today was the day he would have a much more interesting adventure. He wanted to go out and see something cool...like an elephant, or a cheetah. Lots of the adults talked about those kinds of things.

Trying his best to be stealthy, he skirted around the rocks, trying to get past the groups of adults and other cubs and away from the dens. When he felt as if he were in the clear, he began to speed up, and darted down a path, weaving around the boulders. He had a clear view of the grasslands now, and he took a minute to marvel at the sight, and laughed quietly to himself. He certainly felt like a sneaky devil!

A strange sight befell him as he sat there, and Persikka watched curiously as this particular young lion moved carefully around rocks, as if attempting not to be seen. As he watched he started to wonder if that was exactly what this young one was doing; attempting to sneak off. He could not help but chuckle softly, it was not as if he had not tried the same thing when he was young. The world was so big, and so eagerly he himself had wanted to see it all. However now he also knew just how dangerous it could be out there for a lone lion, especially a young one.

With a soft smile, and a touch of worry for the little one. Persikka slid off of his rock perch and padded after the young lion. He lost sight of the juvenile for a time when the young lion disappeared between some boulders. As Persikka passed them by he saw his quarry ahead, standing out at the grass lands. “Hello there, little one!” He called out, smiling in a friendly manner at the young male.

“Hello there, little one!”

At the sound of the other lion's voice, Tamu's good mood curdled like a puddle of blood under the sun. He'd been spotted. Of course, why was he even surprised about this? The den areas were bursting at the seems with mothers and nannies, and there was little to no opportunity for a cat like him to slip away unnoticed. His tail flicked several times before he finally looked back, trying to keep his cool. His heart was starting to pound; nannies could be quite strict about cubs wandering off, and some of them weren't afraid to put naughty youngsters into time out (or close supervision) for their transgressions.

Tamu's worries eased a little. It was a big male, maybe a bit older in age if he had to guess, and he was smiling. This guy probably wasn't going to scold or yell. Tamu also didn't recognize him, but being as young as he was, there weren't many adult pride members he recognized by sight besides his immediate family. "Hi. I, uhh. I was just looking around." he said with a deadpan expression, gazing over at Persikka through wide green eyes. It was a fib, of course. Maybe it would be fun to test this guy. He certainly didn't look as if he could run very fast.
