Nanuka’s eyes narrowed as he sat down and frowned. He couldn’t find his brother! He was so displeased; his nose wrinkled some as he stood and puffed out his chest. He needed more friends, because his brother couldn’t do the job he was given! He needed someone to be with him, someone he could boss around. Yeah. That kind of friend.
Slowly the black coated male trotted onward, moving rather aimlessly as he gazed up at the sky for a moment, before stopping again. His eyes narrowed- something, someone was blocking his way! What the hell was this.
Calling out the Nakuka frowned and made a rather bitter face.
“Hey, you’re in my way.”
Even though the figure really wasn’t. He was such a jerk.

Rokopelli had been crouched, as still as a statue. Her bi-coloured eyes were half-closed and for a moment one might think her asleep. Her sides moved slowly, gently and she seemed to be in a state of meditation. In a way she was. She was practising her illusion skill and for one reason. She wanted to fit in.
Yes, she didn't mind appearing as a Goddess to the King of this Clan and not to other Gods, but to mortals she wanted to appear normal. So, with this thought in mind she had practised day and night. Now her rainbow wings were gone and her extravagently braided wig as well. All that remained was a rather plain, sandy female who wore elaborate jewellery around her wrists. The eye marking on her hindquarters remained, for they were never meant to be concealed.
So, yes, to mortals Rokopelli would be a mortal, nothing more and nothing less.
In fact, her practising had come so far that even when someone bumped into her the illusion held. She gave a small squeak, gathered her concentration and turned to face the lion who had spoken to her.
"Um...hello?" She stood and her long, slender body arched slightly. "We were in your way?" She smiled at the boy in front of her. He was a little larger than herself, and though she was in fact, extremely old despite her youthful appearance. However, she had the mindset of a young one and craved to meet others similar minded to hers.
Unfortunately, this juvenile probably wasn't one of those and if he did indeed want a friend to boss around, he'd found the perfect candidate.
"You have black fur!" She giggled. "Aren't you...hot?" She canted her head and gave the other a sweet smile. "We're Rokopelli, who're you?"

Nuke’s eyes slid wide as she spoke to him, and right away he knew she was crazy! She was talking to him, but, it wasn’t normal and he couldn’t quite pinpoint it. His golden eyes moved to gaze at her slowly, taking in her size, shape and colored. He didn’t know personal boundaries very well.
“Yes, you ARE in my way. What are you doing just... standing here?”
he had not noticed her too well before, all he could see was a shadow, but now that he had a better look he smirked to himself. She was a nice color and a bit smaller than him too, he liked that, and she also had very lovely eyes! Nuka was envious, why didn’t he have cool eyes too?
Tilting his head at her question he laughed and smiled. Wow, a smile!
”No, I’m not really hot-- I kind of got use to being this way.”
He joked and sat down. He still didn’t understand the ‘we’ thing very well.
“I’m Nanuka.”

She wiggled on the spot as he observed her, wondering for a terrifble moment, whether he could see through her illusion. She could feel her heart hammering and clung to her power desperately urging it to stay. Maybe she wasn't as good as she thought she was.
And then he spoke and his words gave her so much relief - despite them being said in a rather unpleasant way. "Whoopsie, sorry!" She giggled and bounced sideways to let him pass. "We're practising." Then she clapped a paw to her mouth and shook her head. No, she wasn't supposed to say that! She cast the black male another look, blinking her odd-coloured eyes. "Practising catching the buggies!" She had found herself drawn to the huge black beetles that scurried around here. They had little pincers and clockwork legs and they nipped her paws if she tried to squish them.
"Okay. That's good. We were told a story once about a cub who lost his mind to the sun!" She giggled as if the story should be amusing. "Silly sunshine!"
Then the other gave his name and so caught up in her own thoughts, only caught the end of it, which she parrotted in delight. "KooKoo. That's a nice name. We're Rokopelli. We're new here. Do you want to be our friend?" That way, if Nyoka was ever mean to her then she'd have someone to go and talk to. Poor girl...why did she always seem to want friendship in people who didn't really appreciate her behaviour.

Okay. So she was crazy, that was for sure, but Nanuka kind of liked it; it was sure a change from his brother… that was for sure. His paws slowly brushed along the earth as he gazed at her again for a long moment… her eyes were so very strange, but in a good way. He couldn’t stop looking at her… she was really pretty…
WAIT! NO. She was nuts! Out of her mind. He had to back off. Puffing out his chest he gave her a very ‘I’m big and bad’ look before speaking in a low tone, as if trying to be sooo cool.
“Rokopelli.”
He repeated. It was too long of a name and Nanuka wasn’t that smart. He needed to shorten it.
“Roko. I’ll be your friend, but tell me, what’s up with your eyes?”
He had never seen eyes like hers before.

Inwardly, Rokopelli beamed at having her name shortened. Roko, was in fact her good side, the side that was strangely most dominant. It was her playful, fun-loving, innocent side that showed in every cubbish thing that she did. Pelli on the other hand, was an intelligent, sharp and somewhat cold part of her, a part of her that had developed from being imprisioned for so long. If you like, Pelli was the shadow of her time trapped, a madness that followed in her footsteps still.
Luckily, however, Pelli only made an appearance when her other half was confused or terrified or feeling any other strong emotion that muddled her.
Completely unaware that she must indeed appear quite mad, she continued giggling, bobbing her head with apparent amusement. "Friend, friend, yay!" So it was working! Masking herself was a good idea after all and now she'd made a friend. She bounced towards him and leaned forwards, all but sticking her nose in his face. Her bi-coloured eyes had a strange shimmer to them when she used magic, only obvious if one looked more closely. Her eyes, now, looked like they contained tiny shards of diamond, spinning wildly around her pupils.
"Our eyes?" She repeated. "We don't know. We can't see them. Are they...weird?" She blinked and withdrew her head. "No, no, no, eyes not weird. Eyes are normal! We were born this way. Parents must have had funny eyes too." She giggled and then suddenly dropped to her belly in the sand.
"Does KooKoo want to play a game?" She asked, whispering as if it were some grand secret. She could feel the illusion fluctuate but it held strong and inwardly she rejoiced. Did this mean she had finally mastered her power? If so, her mother would never be able to hurt her now.
"We want to play game." Her tail lashed sideways playfully and landed with a thump against the ground.

Nanuka’s eyes narrowed upon her again as she spoke, her words filling his ears again. He wasn’t sure what to think of her, crazy or whatever. She sure did seem out of her mind but, apart of him liked it!—but he wouldn’t tell her, no, not ever. His nose wrinkled as he frowned at her and spoke out.
“Play a game? What kind of game?”
He hoped she played normal games…

She seemed buzzing with energy, so twitchy that she could barely contain it. A thought of playing a game with someone similar to her own age was extremely exciting and extremely new.
"Tag? Hide and Seek? Or maybe...pounce the snake! Or..." She paused, what other games did she know?
"Cloud gazing!" But cloud gazing wasn't energetic enough and barely able to contain herself she lowered herself into pounce position and laughed. "Pounce!" And she leapt, her hind legs uncoiling to propel herself towards him.
