Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kame was out and about on one of his days off with his son, Amjad. His sons were growing rapidly and soon enough he'd be able to start training them in the warrior ways he had been brought up in. He was rather excited at the prospect of teaching his sons to spar and sparring with them in return. It was the dream of every father to pass along their skills and abilities, like a changing of the guard if you will. He walked along through the dens with his son, who was overly excited about their excursion.

Amjad made sure to look at everything he came across. While he had one of these trips previously, he was generally left with his mothers who only took him out so far. His father had promised, and intended to take him out farther than just the local dens today and show him as much of the grounds as he could manage to without wanting to pass out on his cubby legs.

"How far are we going again, Dad?" Amjad asked, blue eyes shining with his excitement, "Are we gonna see the edge of the pride? Huh?"

Kame chuckled to himself quietly and shook his head to his son, "I don't believe we'll get that far today, but we'll be going pretty far."

Molemogi, the lioness hardly anyone in the pride ever saw, was out today, with her son, Zuberi. The female was going to take him to see one of her friends she hadn't seen in a long time, but the lioness hadn't been home. Since Zuberi wanted to walk around and see more than dens, she would let him. The quiet lioness watched her son intently, calling him back with her soft voice when he would venture too far. Her ear flicked as she heard voices, not uncommon, and felt the blue and white feather tickling the side of her face. "Zuberi, stay close, alright?" She asked him.

Those strange blue eyes looked up at his mother and he beamed the way only a cub could. Unlike the rest of her cubs, Zuberi wasn't chubby in the least bit. He ran around the den a good deal more than his siblings did, terrorized Fila and her cubs and found it upon himself to protect the den and the females inside of it, without his brothers' help.

"Why? I mean, what if it's daddy? Can I run to see him?" Zuberi was very proud of his father. He admired those scars Vu had every chance he got, but he never asked about them. He wanted too, but his mother would look upon them, sometimes, sadly and licked at them and murmur apologies, so he figured it wasn't his place.

"No, my son. It won't be your father. He's on patrol." Her voice was just as rough and soft as ever.

Amjad saw the excitement on the other cub's face as he approached him and than there was nothing but a cloud of dirt. He had been tackled and this other cub wanted to wrestle. That was awesome! He couldn't wrestle with most of his siblings like this, mostly because they all were girls. Well, that wasn't true. He had one brother, but his brother wasn't as interested in wrestling as he seemed to be. No matter though, this knew friend would definitely quench his need to play considerably.

Laughing as the two wrestled in the dirt together, covering their dark coats in the light colored dust, Amjad laughed, "My name's Amjad!"

Amjad had only caught a smidgen of what Molemogi has said before she had gone quiet and he peaked over to see why. All he saw was his father and that was confusing, because his dad was one of the nicest Pad's he knew of, so there was no reason for him to be afraid. He wanted to speak up on that, but was far too busy attempting to best his knew friend at the noble art of the wrestle.

Kame approached slower than Molemogi did, and when she came into view and he notice her ears flat and head bowed, he gave her a bow back out of politeness, "Good Afternoon, Banu. I hope my son hasn't caused too much of a ruckus to your day."

His mother had pulled him off, which simply was not cool! He whined a bit and then look to see why his mother had gotten all quite. Oooh. Zuberi knew his mother was always nervous around Pads or other Banu. He didn't know why, just knew what he observed. Then he got tackled by his new friend and he squealed happily and rolled, attempting to chew on the blue one's ear. His tail flicked wildly and laughter escaped from his throat. "I'll be the winner! You'll see~!"

Mollie wanted to say something to her son about that, but she was so unsure of this new Pad who happened by. "Hello, Pad....." She said, voice like velvet and sandpaper. Vu liked her voice, honestly. He said it was very pleasing to hear. "I... I am afraid my son.... started this.." She said, waving to the tumbling cubs. In a way, she was glad her son made a friend his own age. Gods knew she didn't take them out enough to let them make any kind of friends.
