Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cocking her head to one side, Kasida watched Kitwe with surprise. She was talking to lions? Weird.. it was well out of the norm for her, but so was this. It isn't every day that she meets up with other leopards, or lions for that matter. In one swift movement, the little cub's grip leaves the safety of her branch and she leaps into the air, landing semi-gracefully on the branch the pale leopard cup was perched upon. Staring down at the lion cubs below, she wrinkled her nose. "Why are you talking to lions?" she questioned Kitwe.

Giving another quick glance down at the lions, the little leopard cub leaned close to her new companion. "Lions are the dumbest of all the animals you know," Kasida whispered. "And they're vicious! They'll kill you over anything!" Carefully inching down, as to not loose her balance, the cub found a comfortable spot to lay down. Her hind legs were straddling the branch, her head was resting on her forelegs, and her striped and spotted tail twitched ever so slightly.

((Wow it's been a while... sweatdrop *jumps in*))

Kota looked up at the two leopards, and frowned slightly. What are those two whispering about? Are they planning something? What're they gonna do? He winced and shook his head. Those two are so high up! It hurt his neck just to look up at them. But he wasn't sure he could trust them. Who knows. What if leopards ate lions? (( eek Kota's a little rusty on his knowledge of other creatures. sweatdrop ))

Disgusted with Kota and the two leopards above her, Ciyari merely gives them all little filthy looks. What're they doing here, anyways? This is her home, not theirs. She glares at the leopards above her; but to no avail, it seems. They're whispering to themselves. Stupid spot-cats. She huffily pulls her gaze back down to the white lion cub. "Well, see that you pay a bit more attention next time," She says, with the haughty air and grace of the very royal. She trots off down the path, kicking up a little cloud of dust in her wake as she continues on her way to another part of the jungle.

She slowly starts to go downhill, and her ears twitch forwards at the uneasy silence. It's darker in here, too, more enclosed. She must be reaching the heart of the jungle now. Odd sounds echo eerily around her. The gray little cub's ears flatten, and she slouches, trying to keep a low profile; right as she walks under Mizaku's tree, she trips on a root and goes flying.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

Her cry of surprise slices through the silence, and, not for the first time today, she goes flying head over heels, and landing in a heap of irritated fur inside a stump not five feet away.

Mizaku jumps up, nearly falling off the branch as he hears the scream echo against the tree. His ears flatten and he glares down at what had caused this. Noticed the greyish lion first, his angry look fades and he crawls to a lower branch to look at her.
"...are....you okay, lion cub...." he asks, swishing his tail low to the branches surface. He didn't really want to interact with a lion, but he knew he'd be safe on the tree's high branches.

Oga heard the scream and dashed into the bushes behind her. Her heart beating a million miles a minute, she laid down so the two creatures would not be able to see her. She heard words coming from the other side of the bushes and decided to listen to the conversation. She was stll hungry as she has not eaten anything up until now and was pleased to find some berries in a bush near by.

The cheetah female froze as she spotted the eland taking refuges in the very place she was creeping towards. She paused, still as a statue, undecided whether to advance; the eland was very big, and her mother had once warned her to steer clear until she was old enough. Unfortunately, being still young, her balance was not good. Her paw fell with a soft thud and crackle amongst the dried grass, and she cringed.
