(There are indeed forests, and even wolves, in Africa. I'm not sure what setting you want to go with Fea, but the lions are some of the few characters here I rp exclusively feral. Let me know if I need to alter anything.) Large paws pulled dust and dirt off the dry earth with each step forward as he sauntered along. He was beginning to spend more and more time away from his twin, from his whole family, really, weaving his way through savannah and jungle alike as he explored. Not separating himself really, just... learning. Day long adventures that taught him what words alone could not.
Chuffing curiously, his nose nearly brushing the ground as he breathed in heavily several times, Isi tried to sieve out what was familiar from smells he could not recognize. There were a few on the air this afternoon, and he had an hour or so left of daylight to his advantage.
Raising his head to shake out his mane in an attempt to cool himself without panting, he looked around curiously. Jungle, savannah, and off in the distance forest even. A place he'd never explored before honestly, and would be too far for a singular day journey. Though the thought was suddenly very tempting. Twitching his tail, he looked out at it curiously, wondering if the wildlife there was much different from what he knew. What it sounded and smelled like.

And spending a night under a different sky? Something wild in him grinned at the idea. Took it as a challenge. His smirk was feral as he made up his mind, kicking up the dust yet again as his heavy feet stirred the earth into the air while he picked up the pace across the savannah towards the unfamiliar trees. He would be to the edge of the woods before the sun set, but just barely, and he wanted to be across the open plains before he lost the light completely. Not that he needed it, but life was different at night....

Lilian was on another of her exhausting journeys in search of someone who she may never find, and more often than not, probably never would. Her brother. The crazy mono toned hippy had a way of disappearing and re appearing when he wanted, but the pastel colored fox still missed him at times, and so she often searched for him until she could search no longer.
Sometimes she grew weary, sometimes she even wondered if she should give up, but the places her travels took her too were more than worth not finding her brother at the end of the day. All the different animals she came across, as well as plant life. Often times she would forget what she was really looking for and stop to have a chat with the flowers or the trees. She would listen to the air and to the sounds in the distance.
Today was one such journey, as she glanced around at the various plant life in this particular section of woods mingled in with the Savannah life. And as she paused to converse with the flowers just beneath her delicate paws, another was heading in her direction. Blinking at the sound of heavy paws thundering against the ground, Lilian's gold eyes looked over a very vibrant looking fellow, his thick mane covering most of his head and his long slender tail swaying behind him. To say she was awe struck was an understatement.

The forest loomed ever closer as the sun began to sink beneath the horizon and Ising's adrenaline-high had warn off some time ago, his muscles aching for rest when he finally eased into a slower lope. Odd trees he'd never seen or sniffed before grew taller in his vision before he finally found himself immersed. It was cooler here, under the shade, but much darker too. Cutting off his speed, Isi meandered through the foliage in wonder, ears twitching back and forth as he tried to sort everything his senses could tell him; drink it all in. The excitement of the unknown was a second wind for him, and he started to investigate.
Some smells were familiar, others new, and yet more just seemed wrong somehow. Different and strange. He couldn't tell what would be potential prey or not, and randomly followed this or that with a hungry curiosity. Movement caught his eye though, and he sped up to investigate. He didn't bother with stalking, the trees obscured his vision too much, and he wouldn't be able to make a kill in such conditions anyway. But the sounds and smells beckoned, and a lion was nothing more than an oversized cat full of curiosity anyhow.
Heavy paws beating hard against the loam, Isi weaved through the undergrowth, catching coming up upon it. Or her, rather. Similar pelt to his, but in softer hues, and she was built wrong. Not a cat. Not a hyena? Not a wild dog. Not wrong, then, just new.Eyes glittering now, he circled to one side of her, his tail flicking as he watched her. She didn't seem to quite know what to do herself. Tilting his head towards her, he turned to pace the other way now, too energized to sit still.
”Hello, miss? What are you, if I may ask?”
