Welcome to Gaia! ::

Siobhán was once again roaming the pride looking for something to do. As a youngster, he was still far more energetic than many in the pride, so there was typically a lack of suitably healthy playmates for him. He himself had yet to show any sign of the disease, but even if he did developed it, he still reckoned he would have the energy to play. His grandfather, a massive immune lion named Sliabh, lay in the shadow of an ancient tree some distance away. Having gotten back from his guard patrol he usually took up the same spot in the center of the cubby playing area in order to keep an eye on the youngsters. His mate, Eva'raja, was the pride's Master Healer and so if any of the youngsters took ill, they would go directly to her for treatment. He himself was father to no less than five litters, and grandfather to four more, so many of the cubs and older youngsters running around were his kin. Siobhán's mother Caoilainn was the eldest of Sliabh's get, only his three adopted kids were older. Caoilainn herself was a guard, or that was what everyone believed, though she kept even more erratic hours than her father and had left her two sons to be mostly raised by their grandfather, only popping in on the rare times she was actually home to dote on them. Not that Siobhán minded... Sliabh was a far more relaxed adult than many in the Kitwana and knew some amazing games, plus his stories of the lands beyond the pride were always great to listen too.

Spotting one of his elder brothers, Lochlan, Siobhán grinned to himself and crouched down. The big brown male was in training to be a Master Hunter, everyone knew it, and Siobhán took great delight in using that excuse to practice his own hunting, or rather pouncing, skills on his older brother. But just as he was about to start his 'super sneaky' stalk, something pale and small caught his attention. A young cub, wandering in a rather uncertain manner slowly towards the playing ground. Instantly forgetting Lochlan's tail tuft, the young white and black male watched as the strange cub suddenly sped up and headed directly at him. Blinking at her sudden outburst he glanced about them then back at her, lifting a paw to poke himself in the chest in a confused manner. "Me? Umm... well that's cool. What was the dream about?" Surprised by her sudden approach he completely forgot the general pleasantries of meeting someone for he first time, rather caught up in her odd excitement.

Siobhán tipped his head as she suddenly seemed to withdraw into herself. "A dream about me. That's pretty cool. I dream like that too.. though papa says I dream about those no longer with us sometimes. They like to talk to me in my dreams." He added, not at all ashamed by his ability since his grandfather and one of his aunts were also able to see things that didn't exist. Though he knew each ability was different, to him they were enough the same that he didn't feel weird about it.

Blinking at her sudden apology he grinned and shook his head. "Oh no, that's just my older brother. I like to annoy him." Hearing himself being mentioned Loclan looked over at the two cubs and raised a paw in greeting to the young female, but he stayed where he was, talking to Sliabh.

"So, if you are new here... have you been to the healer dens yet? Or Beo's bench?" Both were pretty essential in Siobhán's eyes, since one was where his grandmother cared for the pride's sick and most lions ended up there sooner or later, and the other was one of the coolest places in the pride to go play.
