Kenai yawned and shifted, shaking out his fringe of a mane. He was currently traveling through the southlands, near to the pride lands. To be completely honest, he was a little lost. Which would be a big problem, but he wasn't worried about it just yet. He was humming as he went along, his steps were taken high up as if he was prancing and didn't get him very far, but he hated the feel of grass under-paw. So he looked like a fool with out realizing it!
His gaze flicked back to the left and slowly the largest rock he'd ever seen was leaving his view. It was pride rock, if he'd guessed right. Taabu had told him about it, he'd been very jealous at the time. His older-nephew got to go to neat places! Taabu's father was actually born in that place... But Kenai never got to hear stories from Taabu's dad, he wasn't a very friendly lion. Kenai never could figure out why his best friend liked his father so much, but it was probably the same and other cubs couldn't figure out why he liked his pa so much.
His dark brown eyes slowly flicked back in front of him. Way ahead he could see something like a forest, his pop had told him a little about forests. He wondered why his mum and pop had never taken he and his three litter-sisters on adventures, like his older siblings got to go on. Maybe he should ask Asi sometime? Or maybe they just liked staying at home!
Kenai liked staying at home too, but sometimes he just got a little too tempted to follow lizards and the like for too long of a time. That was how he had gotten started on his adventure!
A low purr began to rumble out of his through, thinking about the adventure he would take with his sister, what great fun it would be. Maybe this would even prepare him for it! Or get her mad, if he told her about it.
His creamy colored ears swiveled up and he glanced to the right; nothing there. His tail gave a flick and after quite a few more minutes he was on the border of the forest. Or perhaps jungle, kenai had no clue what the difference was.

Shani had been playing all day. She had taken her favorite "prey" out to play this morning. It was a stick, but with her active imagination, it had become many things today. It had been an antelope, hiding in the golding grasses... and a vulture feasting on a kill that was rightfully hers! It has also been a killer snake, heading for her own cubbies... nevermind that her "cubs" were a very dried pile of droppings from some hooved animal.
Very little could drown this cubbies spirit. There was no doubt that she was an optimist, which made her sometimes rather lonely, since her siblings tended to be dark and brooding sorts. With a sigh she flopped on a jutting of rock that rose from the ground like a hyena's shoulders. Her "prey" was forgotten under one paw, and she rested her chin on the rough surface of the rock.
It was getting to be the heat of the day, and after all her play, she was a bit worn out. Flicking her tongue over her nose and considering heading back towards home for a drink of water, her eyes caught sight of movement.
Immediately intrigued, she sat up, ears perked. Yes, there was definitely something or someone headed her way! She flattened herself against the rock then, even laying her ears low, and waited, tail tip twitching from time to time. Patiently she waited for whatever it was to get close.

Kenai's ears twitched slightly, but he hadn't heard anything or smelt anything. Perhaps it was some sort of feeling, or perhaps he'd just gotten the chills. Which... would be exactly like some sort of feeling. Kenai wrinkled his nose at the thought and shook his head again to rid himself of it.
His tail gave two little flicks, paws that seemed too large for his body continued to pull him forward. He was just beginning to pass the rock, it was too bad that Shani seemed to blend right in. Well, to his untrained and unexperienced eyes. Let's just say he was lucky she wasn't some blood-thirsy lion that was bigger than him!
So he began to pass right by it, very curious about this jungle place.

To her delight it turned out to be a cub... a dusty looking cub! Her tailtip twitched even more as he padded by her. Now!
With a cubbie rowl of a roar, she leapt suprisingly gracefully off the rock... and tackled the other cub most clumsily. Her paws fell short, slapping the ground on the near side of him, but her momentum kept her body going, and so she crashed face first into his side, tumbling over and over before stopping in a slump in a scrubbly bush.
Undaunted by her unsuccessful pounce, she leapt up again and grinned at him, red eyes twinkling. "Ha! I gotchya!" Her tail waved with a life of it's own behind her, seemingly just as amused as she was. "Wanna play?" Of course, it didn't occur to her that she should have asked first, THEN pounced in play, but such was life.

Kenai yowled slightly as something was suddenly slamming into him, and the force of the female cub going into him made him stumble back, and then fall over. He let out a little 'Aaag-a-oof' noise as first he was startled and then he was on the ground.
His eyes were wide as the frantically skittered around, landing on the grayish female. He took a deep breath, almost a bit afraid. He'd been very frightened with his last out-of-his-home encounter, he'd been bullied. But suddenly he heard her very nice words, of wanting to play! He didn't even speak up to tell her that she hadn't gotten him at all, she'd just jumped into him.
"Yeah sure!" He said, his voice excited as he began to scramble to his paws. "What game? I'm Kenai!"

She gave a great leap of joy and another yowl, this time of pleasure. "I'm Shani! Let's play Lion and Zebra! I already pounced you, so now you are the lion!" She gave a delighted laugh and turned and scampered back towards her rock, heading to go around it this time instaed of over it.
What fun it was to have someone who actually wanted to play with her! Her tail whipped a merry wave behind her as she ran, and her too-big paws leapt and dodged and generally tried to mimick zebra behavior. Her weariness and thirst of a few minutes before had vanished, forgotten in the surprise appearance of a new playmate.
