Welcome to Gaia! ::

She was in an exploritory mood, she liked to wander around the dens and meet and greet those within. Terema kanati was a friendly little girl, she loved to say hi to everyone and there were so many new people around there were alot of folks to say hi to.

Her soft blue tattoos moved like waves as she padded across familiar territory in search of new friends.

Kimba was tending a small patch of land behind their den, slightly out of the way. He didn't like others knowing he wasn't as keen on meat as normal lions, so while he ate it, he had a hard time hunting it, if ever-- too often the meal reminded him of a friend, something he couldn't deal with. But once someone else did it... He was less squeamish.

Walking around the dens, terema was starting to feel a bit dissapointed, it semed everyone was out hunting or they were sleeping, so when she came upon Kimba it made her lips turn in a wide grin. "Hey there!" Se calls padding up to the white male without any hesitation.

Kimba jumped, turning to hide his project.

"Ah, hello!" He called cheerfully.

The silver lioness with her black and white facial features pads up to the big male. She was small and sleek and covered int he tattoos of her life. She had been born here and she happily welcomes new comers. "What were you doing there? it looks like fun." She grins lowering her head in a slight bow of greeting "I almost forgot, I am terema Kinati, pleased to meet you."

"I'm... I'm Kimba." Kimba said, politely. At her question, he looked over his shoulder, and visibly looked a mite embarressed.

"I'm... Er... Well... I... I'm gardening." He said sheepishly. "I like vegetables with my food."

"Kimba." The little lioness muses the smile never fading from her maw. "I like it, it suits you." She giggles playfully stepping forwards to get a closer look at the little patch of ground. "Gardening, I'v never heard of doing that before. Totoro, he's a waterbuck friend of mine, he digs up roots for vegitables, but he doesn't keep them like this." She pauses and smiles up at Kimba "Personally i prefare fish over meat."

"Fish?" Kimba's ears pricked curiously. Maybe he could tel her...

"I feel uncomfortable hunting myself. I had too many friends who were, well, prey.... So I tend to eat vegetables and meat that I'm given. I never tried to fish. Do fish speak?"

Terema giggles, though it wasn't a laugh at him, it was just a laugh because she was happy. "Oh no, fish don't speak, they just sort of uhm, make bubbles?" Her brow furrows and she looks deeply thoughtful. "No, they don't speak, i don't hunt prey much myself, I prefere to fish from the waterholes, they keep me well fed." She smiles brightly. "i can teach you, if you want to learn that is."

"I'd love that!" Kimba was enthusiastic now. No more meat! No more hurting innocent beasts! He was all over that.

"If you like, I can teach you Gardening, too!" He offered.

Terema giggles and nods happily "come on then, I'll show you my favourite fishing hole!" She grins and hops away fromt he big white lion. "Gardening sounds like fun! I would love to learn."

Kimba beamed, and padded after, almost dancing. He loved making friends, and learning and teaching? He loved it. The male beamed, following the yonger lion merrily.

The little silver lioness took a beeline towards one of the watering holes, her tail swaying back and forth her head lifted in a pleased manner, she was happy to teach others her skills and fishing was probably her best skill. Her sirename meant hunter and hunter she was, mostly, she was very good at fishing but not very good at anything else.

Kimba padded after her, tail switching as he sniffed the air, noting the trail. He wanted to bring Lyra later, but for now.. He wished to fish.

Padding to the waters edge the young lioness puts her paws in to the water without hesitation, wriggling her toes a bit she waits quietly, her ears twitching, her blue eyes concentrating on the clear blue ripples before her paw hooks beneath the waves and scoops out a fish, she catches it in her jaws and bites down hard. Placing the fish on the ground she grins happily. "simple as that, you try."

Kimba watched intently, then padded to the water, letting himself feel it, watching. He finally sighted a fish, and lashed suddenly, forcing it airborn before catching it in his maw. He was clumsy, but it WAS fun, and he neatly placed it shoreside, beaming.

Terema grins broadly "Hey you're a natural!" She flickers her tail and scoops up the fish she caught, pulling away the flesh as she nests down to the ground. "taste it, I think you'll like it, it doesn't really taste like anything you catch on land."

Kimba nodded, laying down before he began eating, neatly fishing bones out to enjoy his meal as he went.

Terema lifts her head and smiled brightly "Well, do you like it?" She tilts her head happily her perfect blue eyes smiling, she enjoyed teaching people how to fish, she loved to fish, it was her best way of hunting.

Kimba beamed, nodding.

"It's wonderful! I never had fish before-- this is great!" He couldn't help rumbling, wiggling.

The black and white faced lioness giggles happily. "I'm glad you like it Kimba. I'm sure you'll have fun fishing." She purrs getting to her paws and washing her face and paws ridding herself of the smell of fish from her body. "I should get going! Can I come and see you another day to learn gardening Kimba? I'd love to learn how to grow things." She grins.

"Sure!" Kimba beamed proudly. "You can come by any time, and meet my mate as well!" He smiled kindly.

Terema giggles "Sounds like fun! Maybe I will bring my friend Taradhis, I bet he'd like to learn too" She smiles and stands walking back toward sthe dens "have fun fishing!" She beams, breaking in to a quick trot, she was glad she had made a new friend and she would learn to garden! It sounded like fun, she would give the veggies to Totoro of course, it would be a nice gift for him, but the fun of learning such an unusual skill appealed to her greatly.

Kimba beamed, catching a few more fish before turning and carrying themhome. Lyra had to try this! It was delicious. This thought put bounce in his step as he moved, returning home.
