A Note This RP takes place in the future - a few days after Kib leaves her pride and before she gets enslaved by the Firekin.
Some might say she was lucky not to encounter anyone dangerous but she saw it as a bore. Wasn't being a rogue meant to give one excitement and adventure?
She gave a small mew and sat down, unaware that she was sitting on the borders of a new pride's land.
Her mother had warned her about wandering into other's territory but she was useless at steering clear from danger as of yet.

Kimaji should know better than just sneaking off all the time. This time, for once, she'd wandered furthest she'd gona when she wasen't with Swaii, but thats because today she'd found too many distractions, and everything she chased ended up coming this way. After a while, she was in view of the older lioness, though she coulden't say it'd be easy to spot. The cub's pelt of grey was hiding her quite well, though she coulden't think the same of this female.
Blue eyes scanned the area, not long till she took notice of the adolescent, and let out something that could be a hello mixed with a yelp, or an attempt to roar.
The thing is, when she saw this female, she'd been on her way to jump on a rock, but the rock was small, so when she was letting out a hello, she ended falling at the other side.

Kiburi was a small lionness, described as petite. She was slender, small and somewhat elegant in her posture. The sound close by grabbed her attention easily, for her ears didn't miss much. They seemed to be very entuned with the world around her.
She got to her paws, turning her slate-blue gaze to look about her, catching sight of the cub as it hit the ground.
"Hello?" She called softly, padding a few steps forward and raising her head to glance at the other. Ooo did this mean a new friend?
"What're you doing on the ground?" She asked as she drew nearer to spy the white and grey cub.

Kimaji snorted, though probably not intentionally-- but her position was actually quite awkward, at least in her though. She was holding herself up on front paws, while her lower body was against the rock, almost as if she had got stuck on the egde then swung down. But unable to keep balance for long, she soon flopped onto her back with a thud. "The rock moved. " She complained to the older lion, not quite understanding she'd exagerated on the jump.
"Who'r you? You look like Dogo but Dogo didn't look like you. And you aren't Swaii or Uumikaji either. " After the 'who'r you', she'd talked quite quickly, not pausing between her words. Rolling to her paws, the cub started to get a better look at Kiburi.

Kiburi listened with interest, gazing at the pretty little cub with wide eyes. She was definately a lion but she looked different from pridelanders in that she had a tuft of fur on her head which had waves to it. She looked simply adorable!
"The rock...moved?!" She gaped, "is it...alive?" She reached out to tap at it tentatively with a paw. It remained still but she kept her guard up...just in case.
"I'm Kiburi, a rogue lionness!" She said proudly, listening to the other names. "Y-you know Uumi?" She felt her heart flutter but shook away the feeling. There was no time to dwell on memories of home. "I don't know who the others are though but I'm sure I'd like to see this...Dogo if Dogo look like me." She nodded
"Do you and the rock have names?"

Kimaji noded, scuttling away from the rock, but when the rogue tried to paw it, she tackled the paw. "No! Rock dosen't want to be touched, I on't think it does. It didn't let me get on top! Thats why it mooooved. " She complained, carefully walking around the rock, and attempting to jump on it again, but once more, she just fell at the other side. "See?! "
But then, she heard this one call the red lion Uumi, instead of his full name. "Uumikaji didn't let me call him Uumi, Mikaji or Kaji or anything. He just let me call him Uumikaji. " This too was said quickly, because most of this was just ranting.
The cub nodded. "He lookes like you see! " Quite naive she was, poking the lioness 'mask', and the prodding her tail. Kiburi woulden't be able to see the mask, but maybe she'd get the tail?
"OhohIhave one! My name is Kimaji! " She said this quite proudly, before eyeing the rock. "Do you have a name? " She blinked, obviously thinking she'd receive an answer.

Kib cringed away from the rock, listening to the warnings of the younger lion fearfully. She was new to the world and had always imagined it to be a magical and strange place, this only proved her theory. She had landed in a mystical land where the rocks had souls!
"Sorry bout that Mr. Rock. Please don't be angry at me." She pleaded, bowing her head in a respectable fashion before turning her attention onto the little lion.
"He can be a bit like that." Kiburi giggled, deciding not to share Uumi's nickname with the little one. It was a name that she alone would use for him.
She glanced at her own markings as the little one pointed them out and shuffled in a quizzical fashion. "Dojo a lion?" She asked.
"Nice to meet you Kimaji, that's a pretty name you have, did your mama give it to you? Oh yes...umm I'm Kiburi. My mama gave me my name to me." She said with obvious pride.

Kimaji shook her head. "Dogo is a.. a... Thingy! " She coulden't quite recall what the lemur was, or at least how it was called. But she blinked when Kiburi re-said her name, why was that?! "Noo! Kimaji asked rocks name! " She complained, then re thought what the older one said.
"Mama..? I dun have a mama. --whatever that be-- " She didn't know that mama was the same as mother, but either way, she had none. "I think Swaii gave me Kimaji. He probably did. " She mused, before jumping ontop of another rock, though making sure it wasen't the magic no touchy rock.

"My name less important than rock's?" Kiburi teased, but then turned her head to wait for its answer...nothing. "Well that rock sure is a rudey thing. Why does it not talk to us?" She huffed, it would have been interesting for her to have a conversation with the inanimate object, but it didn't seem to be much of a talker.
"You don't have a mama?" For some reason that made Kib very sad, "Everyone has a mama somewhere, maybe yours just when on a journey?" Yes that had to be it! Perhaps this little one's mother was going on a journey.
"Is this Swaii your papa?" She questioned with a flick of her ears, watching fearfully as Kimaji leapt upon a new rock. "Won't that rock get mad too? It might hurt little one." She warned.

Kima shook her head at the rock part, the small rock was the only one tat didn't like touchy! "Swaii isn't papa. Swaii is Swaii. And Swaii is also dad, but I don't think Swaii is pap too, how can Swaii even be Swaii and dad? " The cub decided to stop-- sh was just confusing herself.
"If Kimaji has a mama why isn't she around? " The cub answered back after, not beleiving a mama would leave her alone.

"Swaii is Swaii, he is himself but he also be other things, just like you be daughter...I think." Kiburi paused a moment to hink on this, "yes, one lion can be many things, he can be your papa and your Swaii at the same time."
"Papa means father." She confirmed, "mama means mother." She had always called her parents that, never speaking the more usual name for them. To her it sounded more affectionate.
"Maybe your mama had to go on an adventure somewhere? Perhaps she go in search of something important?" Kiburi nodded, "maybe she went to find the King of rocks!" She smiled, "I think your mama be back one day. Till then you have your Swaii and your scary rock friend!"

More important? The cub's ears folded back, was she not important? Blinking, she came to the tough: "Maybe she went hunting! And and. Got lost! " Kimaji gasped, quickly scarbbling off the rock. "I needa tell Swaii! He can find her! " She said, almost in panic.
Actually, she was now really in panic, dashing from side to side, before tyring herself and falling over, like it always happened.

"Eep Kamaji!" Kib squeaked, glancing around fearfully. It felt like every stone in the vicinity had their eyes on them. "I don't think the rockies like that sound!"
She dashed over to where the little cub panicked and gave a small tug on the end of her tail. "I'm sure your mama won't get lost. She might be back soon!" It never even occurred to her that the reason Kima never had a mother was because she might have passed away.
Mothers just didn't do that.
Death could never part them from their cublings, right?
The little one fell over and Kiburi's own forepaws slipped, her chest meeting with the ground and rump sticking up in the air. "Oof..."

"But--butbutbut-- " The cub stammered, but coulden't keep up with it, loosing breath once more.
After caching it, though.. "But she never show up! " She complained, pulling her tail away and bouncing up on another rock, ducking when atop of it, and curling her tail around paws. "Maybe.. Maybe.. A thingy suprized her! And chased her off untill she got lost! " She gasped again, bringing a paw up to her forehead(Wich was easy sense she was quite ducked) and bringing it down.

Kiburi thought on this a little more than gazed around her, for the first time realising she might be on enemy land. Prides were apparently enemies to rogues - or so she'd been told.
"Does this magic land belong to a pride?" She asked, "perhaps they'll know where your mama is! Prides are supposed to be like one happy family after all."
