His eyes narrowed, forming a stern glare. He didn't like her being so nosy. He inched back away from her, lowering to the ground and curling up into himself. It was obvious that he was in some degree of discomfort. The cub did not want to face the option of explaining why he was so upset to her.
"Yes, I do! So leave me 'lone!" Of course, she wasn't going to do that, and it only made him slightly more hysterical.
"Everything is wrong with me! I've got no friends, and even all the females are beginning to hate me! I never see my dad, and my mom could care more about her other children than she does me!" He was overexaggerating. His mother wasn't that cruel. It was by choice that Ezeoha didn't see her that often. He had other 'important' things to do. But, now he was beginning to feel the gulf between himself and his family, and it was terribly large.
He refused to answer her first question, mainly because he did not know why he had yelled at her. It was possibly because she was someone he expected to be a friend, but when he was first in distress she did not care, and went back to sleep. She had prompted her father, in his mind, to hate him. She was another source of trouble for the young cub.
"I SAID LEAVE ME 'LONE!"

Mosi was shocked, but not so much that she wasn't irritated, not at all. Now he was just being stupid! D<
~No friends?! What the hell am I, rotten grub worms?!~
There were a lot of things that she could've said. A LOT of things, and she really did feel like screaming some sense into him, but she just stood with her jaw set for a minute or two after his outburst.
She was silent for a while before exhaling softly and moving in closer, buffeting her head against his shoulder and sitting down next to him. If he lashed out at her... then he was in for it, but for now, something told her this was the better way to go than yelling.
"Ezzy, you're such an idiot sometimes. I don't hate you."
She purred softly.
"You're my best friend... The others just don't know what they're missing out on."

He blinked away tears, sniffeling loudly still despite the fact that Mosi was so close. His mind was slowly clearing up, and he didn't seem deeply offended by being called an idiot. There were a whole lot more things she could've said, and yet she didn't, and was sitting next to him and comforting him. He liked that. A lot.
He knew she didn't hate him, but that didn't erase the fact that nearly everyone else did. Ezeoha, though, was properly silenced, and couldn't get his voice to work in order to tell her this bit of information. She was being nice to him, and she was even purring.
"Really? Your best friend?" He seemed astonished. Ezeoha had thought that his best friend would be a male, and all the girls would be his girlfriends. But his mind was changing slightly. He really didn't mind that Mosi was his best friend. In fact, he was pretty sure that he'd be content with her as his best friend, and was pretty sure that he'd survive if she never did become his lover and just remained as that best friend.

"Of course," She settled down to lie next to him. No doubt Nukta was having a heart attack from his rock ledge, though Mosi didn't know he was watching, nor could she see him. "you still say some weird things, but it makes you interesting, and I always have fun when you're around. I like spending time with you." She finished...
She was a little curious as to what that made her in his book all this time, but she could ask that later.

Ezeoha lied down next to her, beating back the urge to snuggle up to her and rest after his little episode. But, she had just announced that he was her best friend, and he didn't want her to change her opinion of him so quickly. He liked having a best friend, and was not quite ready to lose one over his obnoxious flirtations.
"I like spending time with you too. You're fun, and refreshing to be around, and you're my best friend too." The cub smiled brightly at her, his eyes still glossy from the tears, but he was otherwise in a better mood.

Mosi smiled, nodding. "So... feel better?" She bumped her head against his shoulder with a small grin, tail lashing about calmly behind her in relief. Though it was true that she didn't understand things beyond their friendship, but they had weeks, months even yet to be children. There was time to grow up later, and a chance yet that she'd come around... just not yet.

"A little." He seemed reluctant to admit that he was feeling a whole lot better. That probably meant that she would leave, her work having been completed. Mosi was welcome company, and he didn't want that welcome company to depart just yet. Nukta was off somewhere, and they were alone, and it was nice despite the fact that he had not yet had the chance to properly flirt and woo her.
"How's Baradi been to you lately?" He knew that his sister and Mosi did not quite have a friendly relationship. But, he felt like Mosi might find it nice to rant about his sister. Ezeoha had found it nice to rant about Baridi himself for a little bit.

Mosi sniffed tomboyishly at the subject change, glad that Ezeoha hadn't noticed the scars yet. ((Which I'm not sure where yet, so I won't specify.))
"She's just as snotty as ever." Mosi sighed, slumping to rest her chin on her paws with a boredly dejected expression. "I don't get what her problem is, it's not like we're sickly or something. So what if our parents used to travel all the time? What makes her so darn special that she thinks she can talk down to us?"

Ezeoha figured that Baridi would never change, but she wasn't really too different from him. He could be snotty at times... just not around females. Other males got to face Ezeoha at his worst. His best was saved for all of his delightful females. "There's nothing wrong with that. I personally find it exciting. I'd love to travel around all the time... But, I'm too young, and mommy isn't leaving the Pridelands. I don't really know where Daddy is... so I guess he's probably traveling without me."

"One day I'm gonna see it all." Mosi grinned brightly, fully convicted on her words. "Maybe we're too little for now, but when we get bigger, I'm gonna just... go. I want to know what else is out there, instead of just listening to mom and dad talk about it."
She absently reached a paw up to run over the ear that Bari had bitten. It really didn't scar, but the small bit of scabbing (hidden by her dark fur) that HAD begun to form there itched from time to time.
"I dream about it sometimes, I wanna see the jungles up close, for myself!" Oh yeah, this little female definitely had big dreams.

Ezeoha stared at Mosi as if he was seeing her true self instead of all the beauty that incased it. He smiled gently, liking to hear of Mosi's want to explore the world. In fact, she was making him want to go as well. It would be horrible for her to leave one day with out him. They were such good friends, and Ezeoha would truly miss her. "D'you think I could come with you, maybe? Would you come back one day? I'd miss you..."
The cub then finally seemed to notice something. "You're hurt! What happened!?" He shot up to his feet, jumping behind her to peer at the ear that was scabbing. "You didn't tell me you got hurt!" His voice became a whine, and he padded restlessly to and fro.
"You're not going to be able to see the jungles if you keep on getting hurt! That stuff could get infected... and Mooosssiiii!"

"Maybe, if you're not too busy with all the other cubs in the pride by then." She grinned teasingly, referring to his odd enjoyment of female company (she was too young to realize he was flirting, she just thought he was extremely social). "Dunno, I probably would. This place is home, but I don't know what I'd find out there too. Maybe I'd even get caught up in some kind of adventure, or something..."
Mosi trailed off with a soft grin, thinking on those grand adventures she'd be having one day, maybe with Jini and Ezeoha beside her-- she couldn't just leave her little brother behind, after all!
She hadn't been paying attention then, as a result, and was surprised to realize that Ezeoha had gotten up and had a look at some of her injuries, and not only that, but he was going on about her being hurt! :/ They were just scratches and bites!
"Well it's not like I got hurt on purpose, Ezzy." She stuck out her tongue, flattening her ears to hide the minor scarring. "Dad already cleaned them, anyway. He told me to keep em' clean so they don't get worse or scar, but I think they'd look kinda cool, don't you?" She grinned wickedly, seeming to forget or not care that the wounds had been delt by her "rival's" claws. "They make me look more... tough!" She smiled impishly, getting up and circling him playfully, as if she'd pounce any second.
"One day, my rivals will tremble with fear at the mere mention of Mosi the brave!" >D

"I promise I wont!" Though, that probably was a promise he'd be unable to keep. If she left he'd end up trailing after her a day behind because he had so many females begging him to stay and physically trying to keep him in the Pridelands. "I'd come with you, so even if you don't come back, we can by each other's side forever!" He was not going to lose his best friend, not to mention his prettiest hopeful mate (yes, Ezeoha did think that far ahead).
If she went alone in the wild, anyways, she was going to get more scars than she already had! Her perfect and beautiful body had been marred, though as he examined the scars more closely he reluctantly agreed that they were 'cool'. But scars were for males, scars were for Ezeoha! The cub grumbled in his mind, thinking that he didn't want his perfect pelt ruined. The females like him whole.
"Just don't get too many scars... I wouldn't want you to look too tough. I might mistake you for a guy, which would be the worst crime in the history of crimes!" He was letting her scarring pass over, and was in the mood to play. As she circled, he circled, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on her friend.
"Mosi the brave? Hah! Mosi the brave would have to defeat King Ezeoha first!" He let out a boasting laugh, tossing back the beginnings of his mane.

"King? King of what?" She teased with a smirk, baiting him good naturedly as she took two quick steps around and back to face him head on. Her smirk remained as she bowed forward, hindquarters moving about as her paws found good grounding. "Mosi the brave doesn't fear royalty! And if you're a king, then, well, I'm a queen, so there, we're even!" She grinned again, eyes flashing. She knew he'd protest some how or another.

"King of everything, of course! King of the world! King of you! King of everyone!" He tossed his head back, exaggerating everything by one-thousand. He mimicked her stand, tossing his butt into the air as if he absolutely enjoyed it. Part of his mind was wondering if she would stick hers up farther so he could get a better look... "A queen? Since there can only be one King and one Queen, then that must mean that you are my Queen!" He was far from protesting with what she had just said. He was twisting his words to his own advantage, and maybe he'd catch her off guard just a little so he could pin her down.
