All around, young lions ran about, enjoying the Sky Festival. It was during one such festival, what felt like ages ago, that Kubwa'shinda had joined the Ela'wadiyi. His time so far had been pleasant, a learning experience for a lion who'd spent his life with the strange apes that called themselves humans. They were like a distant memory to the brown lion, pleasantly in his past. In the past few years, he'd transformed from a plump pampered hunting pet, to what he considered a real lion - Muscle, power, and the ability to protect those around him.
Now he watched, laying under a tree, as young couples joined, and older couples renewed their adorations of each other for another year before the whole pride, as the clans met up for their yearly festivities. He let out a yawn, crossing his paws, part of him wondering if he'd ever find that sort of affection.

Among the young lions running about was Gosdaya Atadiusti. This was her very first Sky Festival, and that made it very hard for her to contain herself. The fact that she was due to participate in the Sky Ceremony tomorrow didn't help matters, either. She'd been looking forward to it for aaages, and now that it was almost time, waiting that one last day was proving quite difficult. Her chattering had finally gotten on the nerves of even her closest sister, Sagonige, who had shooed her off so that she could admire the other clans' males in peace.
Boooooring. Daya had better things to do! Like, umm...hmm, what was she going to do? Maybe she could find someone else from her clan to talk to! Or someone from another, if they were friendly sorts. Of course, they were also potential competition, so maybe not!
Eventually, she spotted someone who looked interesting. Although all tattoo-less lions looked interesting, really. Probably not Mantis, either, unless he was really new Mantis! Daya slowed her pace and sidled over with a cheerful smile. "Hey there!"

One ear flicked in the dark dusty-brown mane, before Kubwa lifted his head. Somebody else was here, and from the looks of it, not from the Sky Clan. He'd already memorized the new faces in the clan, long ago memorized the faces of those born into it, and this lioness, while clearly born in the pride, was not of the Sky Clan. No, she bore a resemblance to the lions who had been there when he'd joined, and spurred the recreation of a previously lost clan, the Mantis Clan.
The male stretched out, offering the younger lion a smile. "Hello. I don't think we've met before now... You must be from one of the other clans, I'm guessing..." He had to admit curiosity, at least. And he was so accustomed to the lions of his own clan, he found he wanted to hear about the others.
