Really, there wasn't much going on for Kiivas'lintu, these days. Her name quest was over and done with and very little in the way of excitement had happened between then and now. She liked trying to mentor the younger lions and generally entertained herself on the outskirts of the swamp when not hunting with a party or trying to fulfill her prey quota on her own. She wasn't an antisocial thing, far from it. She can be blunt and pushy, but she never meant any harm, and she put her all into her work, doing her best to earn her place and keep within the pride that she had been born into.On this particular afternoon, the patchy lioness was plodding along the firmer sections of the swamp, tail swaying and ears pricked. She wasn't looking for anyone or anything in particular and she'd managed to bag enough fresh meat earlier in the day to warrant a pleasant afternoon to herself, and pleasant it was. Birds twittered their songs and zipped here and there through the shafts of light that managed to break through the dense canopy. The earth seemed to be painted in shades of gold and green, something she absolutely loved about her home, bar the solitude of it and her much loved family.
Her jaws parted as a loud yawn escaped from her and she licked her lips, before stretching and moving on, simply patrolling the area and keeping an eye out for anything in particular that might be of interest. Oh, she did love comfortable days like this one!
Hothlepoya or, as he was now called Dubhshíth, was padding around the swamplands. The reptilian coloured young adult was not exactly the happy sort, for multiple reasons. The main reason being, his new home. Dub couldn't understand the appeal of this place to his parents, but couldn't exactly leave, either. That was thanks to his mother, whom had coddled the male since the litter incident. She'd most likely meant well, in some twisted way, but in the end it'd left the boy with a strangeness to being by himself. Dubhshíth had been left with the impression that everything was dangerous, and that it was wrong to be away from Momma, or else you'd die.
