The jungle was surely a fun place to be, especially for a pup. Not that Izulu could really call herself a pup anylonger. She didn't seem to realize hew own growth, however, in the way that most people are not readily aware of their own developing bodies. Not when the developments were so slight, at any rate. The most that Izulu noticed was that she was now large enough to push through some of the jungle life that had before kept her at bay.
Oh what a joy it was to have revenge on the tryanical plants! Izulu growled feircly at one such lifeform that had snagged at her tail and tripped her on many occassions (though one could argue that it was indeed the pups own fault for never bothering to watch where she was going). She snapped at it, rewarded by a mouthful of leaves, nose full of pollen and a satisfactory scream that only sounded in her own mind. Certain that justice had been performed, Izulu forgot to spit out the leaves and pranced on past the mutilated plant, seemingly unawares of the yellow smear across her nose.
The sneeze she issued a few seconds later was likely the result of that encounter. It made quite a sight as well, for who could say they saw a Hyena pup be blown back by their own sneeze while spitting out a mouthful of greenery before? Temporarily astounded, Izulu sat there on her backside wiggling her nose. A second sneeze followed its mate, the high-pitched sound ringing from the treetops and startling a few birds.
Izulu sniffled a little, but the pollen had been dealt with. Silence broken, she jumped to her feet and whirled about to glare at the plant. "DEMON LORD I SMITE THOU!" She howled, dropping into a crouch before springing upon the hapless botanical bystandar.

"My, what a brave little warrior we have in our midsts." Came a soft tone,
Kiva made no comment on the previous scene, for truthfully she had seen the great sneeze the little purple pup gave off, but was treated to an even more amusing sight after.
The goddess kept her wings tucked to her side, not wanting to startle the youth. She purred softly, watching the young female with dusty eyes.

"ERk?" The noise was certainly a funny one. Startled from her attack, the hyena had looked up with a string of plant-meat still straining in her mouth. The opposite ends of the vine were trapped between either paw, making it impossible for her to answer understandably. Izulu blinked at the Goddess, silent for a moment as she considered what was before her--surely, she had no real idea what this was. It looked like a lioness, but the wings were obviously there even if they were tucked to the side.
The imposibility of that really didn't seem to bother the pup. Spitting the plant from her mouth, its maimed remains were left completely forgotten as she padded over towards the Goddess. Plopping down right in front of her, Izulu continued to stare wordlessly. After what must have seemed like a good five or ten minutes, the pup raised a paw and poked at the Goddesses chest. She repeated this action a few times before jumping to her feet and barking merrily.
A short tail chase later, and bounced trip around the Goddess's form, Izulu once more came to a halt in front of her, "I'm a tough girl!" She stated, finally bothering to reply to the female's earlier statement. "Evil plant was pickin' on me, but i said," Here she adopted a deeper, more manly tone.. a fact that was quite odd considering she was supposed to be mimicking herself, " 'Oh no you don't! You won't go picking on me Demon Lord!'"
Continuing her recital of the battle that had only taken place in her head, Izulu jumped to a spot opposite where she'd been standing before and pretended to cower. Her voice changed pitch once more, this time becoming timid and shy, " 'Picking on you, oh great Izulu-thingie? You are so strong and powerful, I would never pick on you!' "
Once more, Izulu became the strangly masculine version of herself, " 'You were! Your precense has caused my body to blow great noises from my nose! You shall die!"
Here, the scene changed slightly as Izulu rocked upward onto her back paws, one front paw pressed to her chest as she stumbled backward. Her voice, once more thin and wailing, richoched off the trees about them, " 'AHHHHeeee! the great Izulu-thingie has slay-ed me! I die the horrible death a Demon Lord like me deserves!'" With that, the pup fell upon the ground, covering her eyes with one paw as she went still.

Kiva couldn't help but giggle at the concord-hyena's antics, letting herself be repeatedly poked. She was glad that her wings didn't put the other off. She hated having to use a disguise (and so far had only done so once).
Watching the performance brought a warm grin to Kiva's face, quite impressed with her acting skills. Once she'd finished she was rewarded by the goddess with a grin.
"Very tough indeed! I'm honored to be in your presence--" And here her eyes closed as she shifted down to bow with a flourish. She only peeked again with one eye to ask: "Izulu, is it?"

Sensing approval, the pup's tail lifted first before she jumped straight up to her paws again. Bouncing in place, the pup grinned and let out a bark of joy. "Izu-IZU-IZULULU!" She giggled, then continued (perhaps a touch more seriously), "Izulu'umdansi!"
The name took on a sort of sing-song note as she chanted it, bouncing around in a little circle. When finally she stopped, her eyes landed upon the Goddess again. Once more the wings caught her attention, and Izulu was suddenly back at the Goddess's side, this time poking the feathers attatched to her back. "THis is weeeiiirrddd!" She drew the sound out, seeming fixated upon the feathers, "Do you fly?"
There really wasn't any time to answer that question, for the Hyena bounced around to the Goddesses other side to poke at the wing there, "I bet you do! I see the flying-things go up WAYYYY up! It looks like fun. I bet you could go REAAALLY FAST if you fell, though. HHhheeeheee, I saw a flyer that fell once. It went ---SQUAWK---and hit the ground with a SPLAT."
Here the girl felt the need to demonstrate once again. Izulu jumped up in the air, as high as she could go, and let her self fall back to the ground. The air in the jungle was so humid it kept the moss and lichen covered ground moist enough to be considered "soft," however, and Izulu didn't seem to feel it at all. In fact, she giggled as she fell over onto her side again. "Can I be a flying thing?"
