Since their meeting with the lion, Sungura had been weary about visiting the border of the pridelands. He wanted to explore and show his daughters all that he had learned during his time there, but the father was not willing to put his two young girls in danger. Narrowing his eyes, the hare took a few steps closer to check if anything was moving. From what he could tell, the border from rogue lion free and that, to him, was a welcome sign.
Thumping his foot onto the ground, to sound Kutulia, the male awaited her presence and then began forward. He would have taken Mnyama as well, but she was currently busy with her mother. He would be sure to have all of his family together for some sort of adventure soon. Sungura was thankful, however, that Kutulia was a bit more obedient than his daughter that reminded him, so much, of himself.
The moment she felt the vibrations from her father's foot, the pale colored hare began towards him. She wore a huge smile and nearly tripped over her growing feet on her way to greet him. "Is it clear now?" she exclaimed, not worrying about the volume of her voice. When she recieved a "be quiet" sort of expression, her ears lowered and she made her way to his side much quieter.
"I'm sorry, daddy.." She whispered, not wanting to upset her father. Last time they ventured out, she became a bit too bold and found herself lost. Sungura never punished her, but did not allow her to acompany him, until this day. She felt she needed to earn her priviledges again.

She was well known around the borders to be a little bit mental. Infact it was quite shocking that she did infact have a son and that he infact was quite the opposite. Induna had long bragged about being a boxing hare, the greatest boxing hare in the world which her long suffering son constantly told her was dangerous but she didn't care. "Stop ya moanin' will ya? listen just because you're fully grown, doesn't mean you can stand theer and tell your old mother what to do alright?"
The pale hare paused, her ears waggling around in a manic fashion. "Was that a challange wot?" She raised a brow and belted through the grass comeing face to face with the dark male and his daughter. Kuukeni sighed in an exsasperated manner as he ran after his mother. "She's gunna get us both killed I swear!" He snapped appearing through the grass, his harliquen black and white body heaving as he took in a long exhausted breath. "Mother please, leave the guy alone this time!" He sighs his eyes rolling tiredly.Induna looked to her son without a care int he world and turned to Sungura "Alo, didyou just beat a paw? You look like a gfighter to me, callin fer a challange wot?"

Sungura had checked the clearing and determined that it was safe to proceed forward. Not much longer after the two had made it to the border, he noticed a white and black creature running full speed at them. At first, the hare grabbed ahold of his daughter and began to back up. Perhaps visiting the borders was simply something he would have to do when she was older. When he got a better look, however, he noticed that the creature coming at them was another hare.
The father hare released his grip of Kutulia and cocked a brow at the hare. Perhaps his stomping on the ground had caught her attention as well. It wasn't strange for all hares in a particular area to respond to a foot thumping. He just had no idea that there were other hares in the area. "Why.. umm. Hello." Sungura said finally, looking the hare over.
Kutulia emitted a small squeek when her father picked her up suddenly. She tried to wiggle away from his grasp, but failed horribly. When he finally released her, she smiled and looked around. Before them stood another hare. Her ears perked up and she was suddenly interested. Perhaps this new hares appearance meant that she would now have friends. She hadn't met another hare her entire time in the pridelands.
As her father and the new lady hare began to speak to one another, she noticed a tall male hare standing beside the new hare. Wiggling around her father and approaching Kuukeni, she beamed. "H-hello." She began, trying to start up a conversation.
When Induna offered a challenge to Sungura, his eyebrow only raised higher. "A challenge?" He questioned, confused about how someone could get that impression, "No, I was simply calling my daughter to come join me.. Letting her know the coast was clear.."

Snuffling the pale female hare batted the air with her paws. "See you young bucks, when I was a kit my ol' man battered us roun' the ears if we didn't wanna box." She bounced from one foot to the other then 'shadow boxing' her ears wagging around in an ever so manic fashion.
"Mother please, he doesn't want to fight! Not everyone grew up in a mental home like you did." kuukeni sighed looking down at the baby hare with a roughshod grin. "Hey, I'm sorry you'll have to excuse my mother, she thinks every little noise is a challange ." He smiles weakly, it was a mystery how Kuukeni had grown up so, well normal, when his mother was batty as a fruitcake but he took it upon himself to care for his mother, she might get herself in trouble after all.
Induna sighed. "Oh please kuukeni! I'm old enough to care for myself you don't have to trail aorund after me and ask people for forgivness!" She snips rolling her eyes. "The fellah clipped his foot, my old man woulda thought that a direct challange, least i asked before I started boxin' 'is ears!" She rolls her eyes and looks to the dark buck. "Din't your pa never teach you 'ow to box lad? tis traditional fer hares to box when tha winds high yanno?"
The younger male sighed again "Mother not everyone has the same traditions, pleassseee, you're going to get yourself killed one of these days, what if that was a lion you just ran at hmm?"
"Then I'd just kick him in the nose, I'v done it before and I'm still alive and I can undoubtedly do it again!"

Sungura's brow remained cocked as she watched the strange mother hare's antics. Truth be told, the male hare had not remembered anything of his family. Perhaps when he was younger, his father and mother enjoyed boxing? Having lived a completely solo life, the hare would never know. He knew not a name or appearance of his parents.
Kutulia giggled a bit when the new hare's mother began boxing. She had never heard of a boxing hare before and thought it was interesting to watch. Hopping around on her back feet, she began to ball her own two paws into fists. "Couldn't somebody get hurt though?" She wondered, thrusting a tiny paw into a tiny punch.
Sungura's brow finally went down when he noticed his small daughter imitating the other's behavior. Grabbing ahold of her pale paws, he tried to speak calmly, "I think it'd be best, if we didn't bring that home with us. Mom would throw a fit if she saw you and your sister boxing.." But before Sungura could finish speaking, the mother hare was speaking to him again. He didn't wish to answer this question to a complete stranger, but seeing no other way to explain, Sungura said boldly, "I never had a father to teach me anything. But even in my travels, i've never heard of a boxing hare.."
Having never heard that her own daddy didn't have a daddy of his own, Kutulia lowered her paws and frowned. She offered a hug to Sungura's foot, but watched curiously at Kuukeni.

"Pish posh! Hares have been boing since the dawn of time, tis the way we joust, the way to win a maidens heart and a way to have great fun." The pale hare grinned her large brown eyes set on the little daughter. "You know lass traditionally it was always bucks who boxed, but I was the only female in a litter of seven an' me old man, he thought I was a buck from birth so he trained me wit my brothers to box the ears of any foe. Course, when I started kickin my brothers furry butts in the arena he decided he would never train another female to box. We're so much more skilled then blokes." She chuckles then looking at the father figure. "She can't 'urt noone mate, she's only a little lassy, ye have to be big and strong to box."
"Mother, you can't just randomly blurt your whole history out to a couple of strangers. Please stop with the shadow boxing and if you're going to speak to someone stop yammering about your fisticuffs." He looked to his mother in a pleading manner, hoping he could calm her down.
Induna looked to her son and clipped him around the ear "Don't teach your mother to suck eggs young man!" she quipped her tail twiting in a sparodfic manner. "He thinks I can't take care of my self, doesn't remember that i raised him not the other way around." she huffs.

Kutulia was excited to hear the story that Induna told her. She seemed so enthusiastic to explain the history of hare boxing. With an excited grin, the small hare began to hop around her father once again, "That sounds exciting! So hares can box for lots of different reasons? Not only to fight, but to play too? Is it any different?" Her curiousity inspired many questions and she asked them without worrying about upsetting her father. Induna was an adult figure and claimed that she wouldn't be able to hurt anyone. Maybe she could teach her sister something about boxing? After all, as females, they would be more skilled!
Sungura, being a protective father of his two daughters, was upset that this female decided to continue speaking to Kutulia about something he found dangerous. "Kutulia.. I'm not so sure how your mother would feel about a game like that.. How about tag, or making those little flower crowns you like so much?" When Induna bopped her son on the head, Sungura watched awkwardly. If he had a son, could he be as strong of a father, as Induna was a mother? He smiled lightly, loosening up a bit, "Yes.. I think our children often forget who runs the den.." He laughed.
Kutulia frowned as she knew that her father was talking about her. "I know you're the daddy!" she exclaimed, bothered that Sungura would complain indirectly about her. And fisting her small paws, she hopped around Kuukeni and popped him in the arm. "Ah ha! I wonder if maybe you don't like your mom boxing because you can't!" She giggled and stuck out her tongue.

Induna chuckled lightly at the little hare kit, her deep brown eyes dancing happily. "Hares have been boxing for a very long time, wot, it's something I won't see die out, not in my lifetime anyway, despite my old soggy eared son here being a big ol' wuss." She chuckled at Kuukeni.
The young male sighed in an exsasperated manner rubbing his ear where his mother had boxed it. The duel colourewd male looked to the little female and sighed heavily. "Nothin' to do with that kid, it's to do with the fact that she insists on boxing anything, lions, wild dogs, otehr hares, snakees, she's even got a klipspringer friend she boxses with. It's gunna get her killed and eaten." He huffed crossing his paws in a displeased manner.
The older female rolled her eyes. "I aint never died yet lad. I'm gunna be boxin' noses for a good while longer yet so you just stop yer bally achin' an' have some fun. He's highly string he is. Doesn't know the meaning of the wod relax." She rolled her eyes and chuckled as she lowered ehr nose to the little rabbit kit. "yer right though, 'e can't box, girls are so much better at it than boys." she winked.

Although Sungura had made Kutulia frown for a moment, a smile was quickly returning to her face as she continued to hop around the group, throwing out a few boxing moves that she made up on her own. Induna only inspired the small hare and she was eager to return to Mnyama and explain what she learned. When the comment was made of Kuukeni, Kutulia only giggled more.
When Kuukeni began to explain about the animals that Induna went up against, Kutulia's eyes went wide. "Snakes? Wild dogs? Eek! That would be scary..." Throughout Kutulia's life she had lived in the company of lions, so mentioning them wasn't bothersome in the least. "You gotta be carefull ms. Induna! You don't want to embarass the other animals with your boxing skills!" The small hare couldn't help but giggle more.
Sungura was trying to make the best of the situation, but found that there was no way to steer the conversation or change Kutulia's sudden interest. The damage was already done and the father hare was rather bothered by it. Looking towards Kuukeni, Sungura offered a sigh and nodded. It seemed the poor boy was as exhausted about the subject as he was. "You know... I think it's almost about time Kutulia and I return home. I'm sure her mother's worried sick about her.."

Kuukeni smiled and gave a short nod to ther two hares. "Yes mother come on, it's time to go home." He smiled wistfully, partially jealous of the normal life this little hare family clearly led. He wished his mother wasn't nuts.
Induna shook her head and punched gently at her only son a smile playing on her maw. "You're such a spoil spor kuukeni." She whispers nudging him off through the grass. "Goodbye you too, and you little 'un, keep your paws up." She winked playfully and vanished through the grass after her son.

Sungura was very eager to leave the two strange hares, confused as to how a family could live such a different life. They were interesting, he thought, but there were times in which someone would need to be a bit more serious. Hopping back to return to their den, Sungura only glanced back once to ensure that his daughter was following.
Kutulia, pouting now because of her father's actions, followed after slowly. She continued to look back towards Kuukeni and Induna and offered a short wave to be polite. When they no longer could see her, she looked forward and hurried to reach her father's side. Her father could be such a party pooper at times!
