(( ya know how she looks xD And I'm to lazy to look for her piccu ))
Ooh, yes! Wait, wait. No. No. Yes! No. What was she supposed to do right now? Err..
The lioness, a young adult, was clinging to a tree. It was rather clumsy, as lions weren't supposed to be up on trees. But she didn't have to be high! Only.. Kind-of. Cause see, there was a very upset looking rhino right at the base.
"Gee! I didn't mean to run into you! " She attempted, ubt as expected, the rhino didn't seem to answer; they never talked to lions, or cheetahs, or anything! the stupid mutes. Well, it wasn't really her fault-- right? That gazelle went right under it!! It was only logical to follow it, right!
"How about this. I um.. Apologize for making you fall over and.. And.. You leave. And don't tear me limb from limb! thats sounds fear, right?! " She smiled, uneasy. Rhino's had a temper if you just got near them, and quite frankly, she'd slammed right into it. They had terrible eyesight, and were rather grumpy at any movement.
The lioness cringed at the edge of the branch she'd managed to reach, claws sinking into the tree uneasly, especially when it attempted to ram the tree with that giant horn, pushing pressing. "Heyheyhey! Um.. tree's have feelings too-- aah! " She squeaked, nearly slipping, and a leg almost got hit.
"Okay. 'll just.. wait, yeah. Okay. Don't need to hurry! take your time. Er. Yeaa. "

((Same goes for you. XD))
Barazahi had been having quite a peaceful day, her thoughts on her secret mate, Angusho. He had gotten in a fight protecting the family not long ago, only a few days ago, in fact. Oh, she felt so bad about it, as if it had been her claws that had carved the scar on his cheek and her teeth that had gouged at his foreleg. She rose and shook her head clear of those horrible thoughts.
She flexed her claws, and it wasn't long before she heard a familiar voice ripple through the air- the voice of her sister. Barazahi yawned, still a bit tired from a nap she had taken earlier in the day, and headed lazily over to see what Ata could possibly be talking to. She lept to the top of a decent-sized rock and peered across the landscape, not seeing her sister until she saw an angry rhino carving at a tree.
"ATA!" She called, suddenly wide awake. She bolted towards the tree's base, hoping that her running would scare the thing. "ALALALALALALALA!!!!!" She called as she approached it, hoping that sounding like an idiot would scare it off, but it didn't. Instead, the rhino turned angrily towards her and started to charge.
"AH!" Raza screamed, making a wide loop with a raging rhino behind her, then launching herself at the tree and climbing as far up as she could, which was high enough to be out of harm's way.
"Hi Ata!" Raza said nervously, not enjoying being in this position at all. She focused on keeping her tail and other limbs out of reach of the angry rhino's horn.

At first, Ata looked up hopefully at her sisters voice, but then saw her running at the rhino, and covered her nose in embarrasment. Though, it was amusing. She flexed her claws against the tree, and waited for her sister to arrive, and almost as soon as she got up the tree, there was a huge thump at the base, almost managing to shake Ata aways from her perch.
"Oh! Hi Raza! " She grinned tentatively. "Nice of you to drop by! " She swished her tail, emmediately pulling it upbefor eit got thwacked.
"Nice view, eh? " Yes, small talk! Perfectly normal in this position. I mean-- its not like they were in any dange right? oh no, of course not! As long as the rhino didn't succeed in, well, y'know. Tearing them up. All was good!

There was something about her sister that always made Raza think like Ata did. "Yes, wonderful view from up here!" Raza agreed, splaying out from the last hit that the rhino made to the tree's base. "So Ata, may I ask how you got in this position in the first place?" Raza asked, expecting an honest answer. "And do you have any ideas as to how to get out of it?" She looked around, in search of a bit stick to poke at it with, or a very long branch that they could climb out on and get a headstart with. Even if they could get to a rock or two that were off in the distance, that'd be much better than this predicament.

"Oh, y'know. I just.. kind of slammed into it! Its terribly overreacting, isn't it? I can't possibly see why its so upset! " She said, shrugging playfully and clung to the branch, a hind leg slipping off for a moment as another bash came against the tree.
"Oh! I was kidn of thinking about waiting for it to sleep. Or we could scream bloody murder. Either is fine. " She nodded, and paced on the branch a bit, but keeping close, feeling so awkward up in a tree.
"Or maybe we can give it some sort of offering. But this tree doesn't have any fruits just-- " She paused. "Ants! " She cried, wrigglign closer to the trunk. Ants! She hated ants! They bit and itched and aah!

"ANTS!?!" Raza screamed in terror, searching around her for those evil little snappy bugs. Barazahi was terrified of ants, bugs in general, really. She lost her balance ast he next blow came, knocking her plain out of the tree.
"Oof," Raza said, as she landed on the ground with a little cloud of dust. She took a look around to find the location of the rhino, which was still bashing into the tree. Barazahi snuck around the back, going as quickly as she could to a rock on the other side, the side where Ata was.
"Ata, do you want me to try to get help?" She was surprised the rhino didn't notice her, or maybe it was more upset with Ata because she'd run into it. At any rate, it didn't seem to care much for Raza anymore.

"Er.. " She said, backing into the trunk again, then looking at her sister. "No need! I have a plan. " She said smartly, then simply jumped!
Onto the rhino's back.
Furious, it started to charge in random directions, but always kind of returning to the tree to slam into it. Meanwhile, Ata clinged as much as she could to it, attempting to get a good grip around its neck, as it pivoted and ran around, spinning.
"Its o-o-o-o-o-o-ooookay! " She called out, one eye closed, the other open, same with her ears, one perked, one flat. "It'll.. I dunno! Might fall over, or summin!! "

Raza thought as fast and hard as she could in this situation- which wasn't very good.
"Hold on, Ata!" Raza warned before she continued. "Hey big stupid grey lump! Hey, idiot, over here!" Raza taunted, trying to get the rhino to ram into the rock. She picked up smaller rocks and chucked them at it in hopes of distracting it and making it come this way.

The rhino, obviously followed the way the rocks came from, and charged full speed towards the rock, then it crashed right into it. And Ata flew over its head.. And wa sprobably about to fly into her sister.
"AAAH. " She screamed, mouth open wide in surprise.

"Bad idea!" Raza yelled as she got hit with her sister and knocked off the rock onto the ground behind it. She scrambled to her feet to make a run for it.
"C'mon Ata!!!" Raza said, making sure her sister was following her as she bolted away.

"WOO! " Ata yelled in amusement, racing off ahead off her sister like a bullet as the rhino backed away from the rock, dizzy, but it could still make out the obvious blue that was Raza's fur, and shot after it.
"Now this is great! " The tan lioness yelled over her shoulder, looking back at her sister. Always the energetic type, Ata was. "Hurry up! We gotta lose it! "

"Great!?" Raza yelled over the sound of her footfalls. "This is not great! This is terrifying!" She hollered, running as quick as she could. "How do we loose it?" She asked, as the answer came up from the ground. A gorge lay ahead. It wasn't too vast, but a lion should be able to make the jump and a rhino shouldn't.
"The canyon! We've gotta jump across!" Raza said, absolutely sure that that was the answer.

"Its fun!! " Ata protested, but with the approaching gorge, she didn't have much time to speak. "Got it! " She yelled back at her sister, and slowed slightly, making sure she'd get the distance right; the jump had to come out at the right time-- no chances could be taken.
So she leaped, right at the edge, and landed with a thud at the other side, panting, and turning quickly to locate her sister.
The rhino on the other had, took a while to notice the gorge and started to skid to a stop, its heavy, bulky body taking a while as if kept sliding over the sand-- untill finally it managed to stop, and trot, carefull to the edge, where it snorted in annoynce, and looked to the other side.

Raza's jump was just a little bit short, she got most of herself up, but ended up hanging by her front paws on the other side of the cliff. However, there were some nice footholds that her hind paws could find, and she was quickly back up on all fours on the other side. She turned to make sure the rhino wasn't still chasing- hadn't made the jump. "Ha!" Raza laughed, seeing that her plan had succeeded
She twirled and fell laying on her back, belly up. "That was close, Ata," she said between pants. "Now all we've gotta do is wait for it to go to jump back to the other side and head back to camp," She said, lifting her head to see her sister.

The lioness smiled, padding to the edge and strutting from one side to the other. "You got served! Ohyeawhoisthebullywhojustcan'tjump? You got it right where ya deserved it! " She teased, hopping a bit, only stopping when she remembered how close she was to the edge.
"Yeah! " she said, looking back at her sister, content. "What do we do while we wait? " She asked, looking around, as the rhino remained stubbornly at the edge, ears flicking, head held as high as it could.
