Nothing was more boring than the life of a rogue. Or Tziporah thought so, at least. Circling the watering hole, she eyed the pride lands to her direct west, where she knew it was just teaming with lions. But the hitch was, many of them knew each other already, and those who joined already knew SOMEBODY. Letting out a huff, she turned away. She wasn't going to bother trying to wiggle her way in. There were other prides... Smaller prides. She pasued, having noticed movement at a rock overlooking the water. Smaller LIONS, too...

Peeking over the edge, a brown-splattered white cub watched the fish swimming around. Part of her mind wondered, how did they get there? The other part wanted to play with them. Reaching a paw out, she batted at the water, giggling as the fish darted away. After a moment of waiting, the aquatic creatures returned, swimming around under the shade of the rock.

Going over, Tziporah peeked over the juvenile's shoulder. All she saw was the water, as the sun shone towards them. She tilted her head, frowning. Then a couple bubble spots appeared on the water, signifying that the pool was occupied by fish. Shifting to the side, the lioness finally saw them, darting about. They were small, hardly worth trying to eat. Glancing at the small white lion, she frowned. "What are you doing...?"

Letting out a startled sound, the cub tumbled foreward into the water. When she sat up in the shallow space, she looked at the fish, before smiling. "Playing with the fishies!" She looked up at Tziporah, face wide with a smile and green eyes bright with happiness. "What're you doin'?" It was an innoccent question, filled with the enthusiasm of childhood. Nothing, it seemed, could bother the young lion, not even a complete stranger.

Tziporah cringed, then sent and sat on the protruding rock. "You're playing with the fish... Um... Okay..." She flicked her ears, folding them back just a bit. What an odd little cub.. Then again, she was young and enjoyng her cubhood. Tziporah certainly never had... Frowning, she leaned down. "I'm just looking for a home..." Trying to find someplace to rest her bones, so to say.

"You have no home?" The cub crawled out of the water, shaking off. Sitting next to the lioness, she placed a tiny white paw on the much larger brown paw. "Everybody needs a home!" She then smiled, a wide and happy one. "You sould come with us! We're goin' north with Mister Kingu to the En Gedi!" Bouncing a bit, she pranced around the lioness. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind somebody else joining!"

The En Gedi... As Tziporah thought about it, she reached out and put a paw on the cub's tail, effectively stopping her. "I think I'll have a chat with this Kingu first... As for you... I don't even know what your name is." She leaned down, looking the cub over. "Probably something to do with how happy you are..." It was almost infections, making the brown lioness smile.

Wiggling to get her tail free, the cub smiled up at the lioness. "I'm Huan Ju!" It meant happy chrysanthemum... And she was certainly happy. Finally getting her tail free, she fell in the water with a plunk. Once again, she sat up, tuft of hair in her face. After a moment, she shook her head, getting water out of her face, then climbed back out. As the water flew off, she bounced just a bit, then looked up. "What about you? What's your name?"

"Tziporah." Watching the cub, she couldn't help but be amused. Despite falling in the water twice now, she was still happy to talk to somebody. Was the cub lonely? But from the sounds of it, she couldn't possibly be. Standing up, Tziporah smiled at Huan Ju. "Well, Huan Ju, how about you take me to meet Mister Kingu? I think we need a chit-chat, see if the En Gedi is what I'm looking for. And you shouldn't be alone, anyway..." Motioning with a paw, she bowed her head. "Lead the way."

Bobbing her head, Huan took off. Taking the out-of-grass route, she followed the same path she'd taken to get to the watering hole. At the other end, she knew, were the older lions - Her mother, her sister, Aviel, Kingu'jua, Mut'salama, and the blind lion... She just couldn't remember his name. But for the time being, it didn't matter. She had a task at paw! "This way, Miss Tzippy!" Paws flying, she dodged the odd rock.
