Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aside from feeling incredibly stupid, he also felt incredibly awkward. There he was trying to give them subjections on how to survive when he hadn’t done a thing in his life for himself… not once. Carrying a bone with meat sounded like a good idea to him…with his usual appetite, he had no knowledge that meat went bad in the sun. He’d not been exposed to the hard life that the others had so he had no idea that it would attract anyone, though with some thinking on the matter it did make a bit more sense. After all, he came to the scent of blood whenever the lionesses returned to the pride. What else could be out there? The lions were the only things that he could think dangerous but they were going to be left far behind by this time tomorrow… at least he hoped.

As for feeling awkward, he was expected to teach cubs how to be royalty…what would he tell them? To forget all the hunting, training, survival they knew and sit around all day? Their trip would give him time to think of what a real prince should be- perhaps he’d tell them more about Kui and how he acted than himself though they seemed fond of him. They were excited about traveling with him and teaching him how to hunt (this was another stab at his esteem). He never thought that they would be. He was a firekin, something that very well could have their lives right there in only one sweep of his paw. However… he wasn’t like his father. Never had he held a grudge against anything else of another color or species. Lions were lions and anything else was normally brought to him in a bloody mess for dinner. Simple as that.

He waited for the others to answer- a bit impatient and worrisome that his father would happen upon them with the scent of the kill fresh on the air. It wouldn’t be good if he found them… how would he explain all this? He was never too good with lying- in fact he had never had a reason to lie to anyone.

He smirked just a little bit. No one had ever really cared to ask if he was alright, how he was doing, how he was feeling, or any of that… it kind of felt nice to know that someone cared at least a little bit. He nodded his great head down at the cub, still keeping his mouth shut to listen for further instruction or the order to follow the lioness to the oasis… he’d not worry the cub with his thoughts. He probably wouldn’t understand them anyway.

Yakuti sighed, being so small obviously was getting her ignored.. Her ears flicked adn her tail gave a flop in the sand as she glanced around "I know of an oasis, I put my den near one.. i think i could get us there." she mumbled, figuring no one would hear that anyways..
She shifted, the smell of the kill still lingering around was affecting her sensitive nose.

Wokovu grinned at Jasi holding his head up a bit higher "Yes, a princess and two princes." he tried to sound as 'royal' as he could and supressing a giggle from the excitment.
Though he opened his eyes as his brother asked mwali if he was ok, he would have asked the same, but it seemed Teule had it covered.. so he just continued his little game.

He trotted over to a rock a few feet away, getting atop it and sitting looking out before his new kingdom, pretending as if the small creatures were really other members of their pride, more lions, cheetahs and foxes to be exact..

Teule bent downwards just a bit, a smile spreading across his face at the lion's action of acknowledgement. Twisting his tail around, he rose and turned his seat, leaning back at Jasi's closeness. He smiled weakly and stood, inching back a bit after giving Woko and smirk of approval of his picturesque self looming on the rock. Oh yea, they'd be princes for sure. He turned his attention to Jasi, opening his mouth to greet but silenced by the sheen of the silver earring.

"Whoa, where'd you get that?"

Taka stood, readying herself to leave, she wasn't aout to stick around any longer. The cheetah turned to see Jasi when she yelped and eyes the earring carefully, making sure she wasn't hurt. It was surely time to go, they ate and they wouldn't need water from a few hours or so. She gave Yakuti an encouraging smile as she saw the fox's mood begin to sink.

"I think we should leave. Yakuti will lead us to her oasis. Mwali...while were out there, don't expect to be treated any differently than one of the cubs. I'd appreciate if you'd do as I say when I say it which will probably be best for you, anyway, seeing as this is your first time out."

She tried not sound bossy even though when asking what she had, she tended to get a high air about her. Meekly, she offered a small smile of question. It would be better if she knew she'd have him under control if they ran into trouble.

Jasi leaned back a little, her smile becomeing wider. "I found it in the sand. Isnt it beatiful? I saw real princesses wearing things like these once Teule! Does it look good on me?" she questioned. She could feel the presence of Mwali laying next to them, and she hoped she didnt look to foolish. She had wanted to impress him, and show them what a great pack they make. She turned her head slightly and looked at him out of the corner of her eye. He was going to teach the boys how to be princes...but did he know anything about being a princess? It mustent be much different.

Wokovu blinked as his brother toppled over him, falling along with him with a small startled yelp. He blinked a few times then pushed himself to his paws, following on excitedly. "Hey i think i remember going there. We never had to go there too often because the bugs we ate had water in them or something." he stuck his tongue out at teh thought of bugs.. they were ok, he guessed, but he sure liked those other animals better.

Yakuto gave a small snort "Its not a watering hole its an oasis" she stated, as if that had some sort of higher meaning to it.. looking back at them with squinted watery eyes. She blinked a few times before slowly trudging foreward making sure everyone was going to follow her..

Jasi blinked and watched as Teule walked off. Why hand't Teule said anything? Did it look stupid? She scratched at her ear softly, staring at the ground. She had felt weird vibes from Teule, like he didnt want to be around her. Was she making him nevous for some reason? Did he still want to be friends with her?Shes huffled her paws in the sand akwardly. Maybe he didnt want her to be a princess? She shrugged and followed the others, walking up next to Woko. She glanced at Teule for a moment, but then quickly put her head down.
