(( This is a private arrpee for Kimaji, Miaiko and Kisulisuli. <3 ))
For once, the cub wasen't dashing around, rather, she had just done that. The mouse had escaped, and had still led her into the water. She'd already pulled herself out, but was still rather damp. Currently, she was near the waterfall, leaning against a tree, supposedly waiting for the water to just slide off, she did what she could, shooken herself and licked her paws, now she just needed to wait for the sun or gravity to finish the job. But the only water left was down at her underbelly, droplets slowly forming at the edge's of furs and dropping off.
At least the water had worked for one thing, stopping her. If it weren't for the water, she'd still be running around untill her legs coulden't carry her any further, or the mouse got away. Wich, happened rather often, mind you. But she was only still, because she coulden't find something to chase, and it was too early to return to Swaii, if it was such a good time to play around... But maybe she scared off every mouse, go figure.

Miaiko danced down the beaten path that ran down towards the pools below the waterfall caves, many lions' paws making the way smooth and easy to traverse. The brown-hued cub was feeling adventurous as usual; she laughed as she turned over her shoulder, calling to her more cautious brother who followed behind.
White dipped legs tripped down towards the clear water, the hot sunlight causing gleaming ripples to be thrown up around the place, golden streamers decorating the trees and cliffs around. And Miaiko spied a small white figure stretched out by the water's edge, apparently drying off.
"La'atzu, I didn't know you came down here alr - "
Her words suddenly cut off as she realised that there was no neat black cap marking the cub's fur, and that instead she was pure silver and white. This wasn't her little sister!

 Kisuliuli had always gotten up early, no fun sleeping at least not at his age. He couldn't understand why his parents would just lounge around all day when they could be playing, chaising bugs, or practicing important things like roaring or pouncing. He still couldn't get the image of the god out of his head. He and his siblings had gotten some light lectures on how to reconize a god- wings. That was the most simple feature. He -had- seen one. There was one living in these very lands but he hadn't told anyone. For the moment, he'd keep it away from his parents, it was a chance to get his sisters to gape in awe at his discovery.
The cub lifted his head up from where he'd been watching a small hole. A snake had slithered its way away from his attempts to 'hunt' it. Kisu figured if he stayed near the hole long enough it just might come out and he could catch it, but the sound of a female's voice distracted him from the morning activities. His sister, now was his chance.
Kisu got to his paws and ran towards the voice, jumping to a downfallen log to get a good look at the situation. His mouth opened a bit then snapped shut. The other cub wasn't his other sister... it was that female he'd seen when he had run into the god. "Hey it's you!"

An ear tilts to the side, the first thing to be noticed was a sound, that of paws and words. But, what of there words? She wasen't this La'atzu! She was Kimaji! "Sorry, I don't know La'atzu.. " She turns around to face the cub, ears folding back as if sorry for not knowing this one, if she was calling for this other one it might be someone important! But she was a little suprized, this cub was a bit smaller than she, and Kimaji was more used to some huge lions, and always thought to be the little tiny one.
But then something else speaks, and her ears move forward again, eyes looking in the direction her ears told them to, it was that cub! The one with the big name! "Kimaji remembers you! Your Kisu--suli.. Suli! " She seems rather amused, how funny! Same place as before! Or at least, close to it. Though, she can't recall the rest of his name, only remembering Suli and Kisu, and she likes the sound of 'Suli', it had an S, just like Swaii!

Miaiko looked astonished, head flicking back and forth between her brother and this new cub who was bigger than them... he knew her?
"WAIT! Kisu knows you? I've never seen you before, are you from here?" Miaiko pranced down the remainder of the slope excitedly, her vague disconcertion and worry that she had mistaken this new cub for her sister slipping away. She was the darkest hued of the three, but her legs were dipped in the palest white, kind of like this new girl!
"My name's Miaiko, it means 'spray', like the spray from the waterfall," And she gestured importantly up at the torrent of water that thundered down majestically not far off. "What's your name?"

"Yeah I know her." Kisu smiled, jumping from the log he was on down to where his sister was. "We were here not too long ago... saw some big lions here. A red one too!" He sounded honestly shocked at this, "But she said she wasn't a fire-one... and there was a GOD!"
Now he expected a huge reaction from his sister but not the new female. Afterall, she was there. He remembered them both being a bit disappointed that it wasn't the storm-king... and that he wasn't there to help them but none the less the appearence of a god was something worth a little bit of excitement.

Kimaji is about to talk, but then Suli talks again. "Yeah! But he didn't have a mane... Maji said the storm king had a mane! " She nods, this god they'd seen, he only had a little tuft on the back of his neck, how could that be big enough a mane for the clouds?! And he only had half a wing, that woulden't work either, no no, not enough for the whole sky. He coulden't be the storm king, no way. "That red one-- she looks like someone I met! Uumikaji. She said he's her brother. What is a brother? " The red lioness haden't told Kimaji what that was. "Uumikaji taught Kimaji what a mother was, but the girl Uumikaji didn't tell Kimaji what a brother was. " She mused, mainly to herself, why would Uumikaji teach her something, and girl Uumikaji not? They looked so alike..

Miaiko could only look dumbstruck, before bemusedly answering the first thing she could get her head round. "Um.. Kisu is my brother, he was born with me and La'atzu, all at the same time..." She padded a little closer to the older cub, eyes round as she glanced back at her brother.
"But, but, you really saw a GOD? I thought there was only the Storm King! He makes water fall from the sky..." Miaiko looked puzzled; she had never seen rain in this supposed valley of storm and rain, and could only imagine it as many waterfalls cascading out of the sky. It was probably quite dangerous..

"He was no storm king." Kisu's nose wrinkled up a bit in disappointment, "He was really rude. He didn't say what he was the god of- he..." he put a paw to his chin and rubbed it a bit, "His mane wasn't like normal. It only came around the back of his head... and his wings were half gone. He was white but his mane was yellow and his wings were black." He shrugged, "I think he might have gotten beat up by the storm king and came here to make it up to him."

Ears fold back, Kimaji lacked other things too? She didn't have a mother, nor a brother... "Kimaji only has Swaii.. " She mutters, before listening to Suli. "Why'd the storm king do that? Maybe.. Maybe he pissed him off or something! Or was disrespectfull! Or.. something. " She blinks, a bit amazed, wow.. How odd. Would the storm king be that mean? "I've never seen the water fall from the sky.. " She sighs. "Me and Swaii only see river, lake, and now.. thingy. " She motions to the waterfall, not quite knowing what to call it.

"Waterfall," Miaiko supplied helpfully. "Hah, I bet the Storm King wouldn't let a rude god like him stay around here long!" Her young mind flitted around all the new things she was learning, and randomly plumped on another topic to expound upon.
"Are you Kimaji then? And... Swaii?" Her face suddenly went blank, as she remembered. "OH!"
"Swaii is your daddy I bet!" The earth-hued cub said proudly. "I met him with mother once, when you," she glanced teasingly at her brother, " and La'atzy were asleep. He was looking for you, I remember! He's very big...."

"The storm king will bring the water from the sky again... I've never seen it either but uncle Maji says it'll come back if we pray and ask him a lot." He nodded firmly, "We'll see the rain again."
As the subject changed he rolled his eyes, running a paw over his short mane, "Well excuse me, I was tired with you girls kicking me around all night and SNORING. You're loud." He smirked a bit, "And our daddy's the biggest lion of all! Then there's uncle Ramses and he's big, and uncle Maji and he's big." He puffed his chest out a bit, "When I get older, I'm gonna be just like my dad."

"You know Swaii? " She giggles, looking at Miaiko. "Isn't he big? Sometimes when he's sleeping I sneak off!"
She blinks though, Suli knew Maji? How funny, Miaiko knew Swaii, and he Maji! "Did Maji teach you how to follow leaves yet, Suli? " She blinks again, looking at him. Maji had taught her, had she taught him?
(( So small, oh so small. D: ))

"You know uncle Maji too?" The coincidences were just mind-boggling to the young cub, who slowly began to grin.
"Kimaji must be a Mistweaver too, like us!" Miaiko said excitedly. "That means we have to be friends, and help everyone, just like mother said we have to be to our pride. Kimaji~~~!"
The brown cub almost trilled that last word, trying to imitate one of the little rainbow-hued birds that inhabited the jungle around.
"You and me and Kisu can go play hide and seek then, if La'atzy isn't here... she's probably asleep and being boring," she confided in the older cub. Miaiko was quite different to her siblings in temperament, it seemed...

"Yeah!" Kisu's ears perked forward at the mention of a game, "It'll be a lot more fun with more than the two of us. We just have to figure out who should be it."
He hated being it. Last time he had been it one of his sibings decided to hide in a tree, he made the mistake of climbing a bit too high then realizing how far away the ground was. His mother had to come and retrieve him- of course even then he tried to get back to her and managed only falling and dangling from his ensnared foot. Quite the humorious situation if he hadn't been the source of laughter.
