Teule was relieved to touch down to ground again and was quick to check if he had caused Mwali any discomfort with their play. He seemed alright though he still smelled of blood. Taka would probably be back any minute now though. He plopped his rear onto the ground uncaringly, wagging his tail back and forth. He grinned and shared his accomplishemnt for the day.
"Ah, nothing much, Taka was teaching me how to hunt. She said I'm really fast like her."
Taka growled as she inched into the watering hole and then started speeding up, intent on getting the stupid plant and leaving. Her maw was wrinkled high as she snapped at the plant and quickly bolted out of the water. Perfect, now the dust was sticking to her paws and tail. Shaking the liquid out angrily, Taka started bounding towards Priderock. By the time she reached Mwali, her legs were caked in dust. Giving a smile full of plants to Mwali and Teule, she started grinding the plants together in a rock. Soon, after her claws had shredded and beat the herbs into a thick mess. She scooped some into her oaw as carefully as one with no thumbs could.
"This my hurt, Mwa, so try not to jerk or anything, I don't wanna get my claws in your wounds."
To the untrained eye, one could not tell the true damage the zebra had done but with her hunting and healing training, it was clear to her that Mwali was badly hurt. Slowly and cautiously, she adjusted her claws upwards so she didn't scratch him. Gently, she spread the herb mash across his side, watchful to see if he would move.

 Mwali whimpered slightly as the herbs came near to his body, he didn't like the sound of it hurting and behaved very much like a frightened child about to recieve a shot, squirming slightly and looking away to try his best at distracting himself. As the herbs met with his side he ground his teeth and narrowed his eyes, a slight growl was rumbeling in his throat but it wasn't at all an aggressive one. A cub would more likely sound more frightening with the whimper quality that it held within it's pathetic tone. Eventually he gripped his eyes closed and slowly let his head to the ground again, his claws dug at the ground, pulling grass out from its roots beneith them. Why did things have to hurt if they were good for you? Had it been anyone else he'd have snapped at them but he trusted the cheetah almost like he would a mother. She was indeed more of a mother figure to him than his birth mother ever had been.

 Haveo turned to Wokovu sensing the sudden change in atmosphere. "I sense it too...should we flee or face this thing head on?" Haveo stood tall looking behind him eyes set in a hard, intimidating stare. ((sorry for not posting in so long...too much school))

Topas hopped up and down flapping his wings in an expectant manner. "Topas not know, but Topas thinks we should wait and see, as the creature could be anything." He looked about for a while before hopping a few paces foward.
((Gah, shrimpy post...))

A small wild pup trudged along the savannah with a mournful expression on her face. She sighed before continuing to walk upon the dusty rocks, stopping to look out to the horizon in thought, before shaking her head and moving on. She padded to a trickling stream, and quenched her thirst. She then lay upon the baking ground and cast her deep blue eyes across the area in which she was. She could see sandy rock and dried plains for miles, and the savannah which she had just left seemed to stretch on for even longer. No food. She thought to herself. She pulled her body up with her front paws and sighed, before running swiftly back into the savannah and searching for any scraps of food left behind by the more dominant breed, the Lions. She found nothing after searching for a few minutes, minutes that seemed to last forever, as she felt the heat pound down on her. She sighed more deeply this time, and turned, but...

As she came towards the safety of the huge boulders she was met with the typical priderock scene. Many lions yes, but just as many other creatures. She would have smiled if she had not been intent on refinding Mwali and delivering the leaves. Her amber eyes did light when she came upon a pleasent scene. It looked like medicine had just been applied to Mwali, that was good. She was not a healer, just a nanny. She set the leaves on a boulder, "We can apply one of the bigger ones to that wound and hold in the herbs, keep them from drying out, just in general protect them." ((*stumbles into thread* sweatdrop So sorry to be so long, school etc))

As everything seemed to calm down, the juvenille slinked off down the rock path, giving a small apologetic look up to the Queen before he let his head hang as he walked down the path.
Great, he had tried to be a hero only to be told of like a little cub? How old was he? A heavy sigh escaped the young lion and he only lightened up slightly as he saw the new cub Teule playing with Mwali, he was a really sweet guy, he'd never seen a Firekin be so gentle with cubs not of his own.
A smile couldn't help but crack at the corner of Sukutu's face before he thought about his actions with the rogue lion and just rolled his eyes, laying down in the dirt as he just tried to blend in with the mud.

. Mwali's expression instantly brightened as Koho approached, his whiskers flushing a bit in the equivilant of a lion blush. She cared for him... it was comforting to know that at least something good came of his unsuccessful hunt. He hoped that the pride would allow him to be with her, perhaps win her heart as she had won his so easily. He didn't have anything to offer her... she was beautiful and strong- not to mention clever as anything. He was weak and lazy and not to mention dull-witted. Hell he was nearly like a massive cub save for the mane. Mwali lowered his head onto his paws and narrowed his eyes in thought as the two females worked on his wounds. What could he do? He didn't know this land so he didn't know any "romantic" places to take her. He could always try to play with her but was she playful? He'd have to ask someone that she knew- that brown cub for example. Perhaps he'd know what she liked and what not.

((.....ahhh I don't care if nobody is here to talk to Sukutu I am going to RP))
The brown juvenille just stayed still as he lay in the brown mud, hoping the queen would not notice and not give him a good belt for leaving her after that talk she just had with Jasiri and himself.
Hmmmph and Jasiri, acting like he had been trying to make the story up, what nerve, some friend she was.
A low growl sounded from him before he sat and shook his tuft of mane gently from side to side, yawning afterwards to show his impressive rows and good strong teeth.
After his yawn had slowly vanished, his pale eyes fixed on Mwali, he still didn't trust this guy...and what he was probably thinking about Koho, just made him mad...but, he was gentle, playful...heck, he had seen Wild Dog pups more fearsome then this p***y cat.
A playful smirk laced his lips before he got up and gently nudged the red lions side, in a sort of 'old friend' greeting.
"How ya' doin' there big guy?" He asked in a cocky teenage voice, his eyes half open and half close to make him look more suave.

. "Hrmm?", He turned his head slowly to the form of the small brown male, forcing a bit of a smile through the wince he had been carrying due to the bitter bite of the herbs in his open wounds. He was grateful for them, the wounds and the pain in his chest had dulled down to a point where he could at least stand them enough to be comfortable... he knew that he'd be ridden to laying down and moving very carefully for quite some time, it was discouraging but the others around him seemed to make it less of a pain... espeically Koho, he felt he'd get better quicker with her radiant presence there to grace his. He really couldn't say why he felt so much for the lioness in such a short time in knowing her, perhaps it was hormones.
This brown cub looked misdevious, his violet eyes narrowed and a silky grin on his maw. Mwali took a slow glance to either side, his ears lowering a bit- had he done something? This cub wasn't all that social with him before. Clearing his throat he answered the cub, sounding a bit withdrawn, "Uh... I'm... fine I suppose... the herbs are helping quite a bit- and the leaves..."

Sukutu looked at him, plopping himself down to sit by his side before a small chuckle escaped his lips and he raised one of his paws the gently muss up the lions quaffeur of hair as a friendly gesture.
"Hey don't look so nervous...the way I acted before...I was nervous...you know how it is with a new guy...but also that along with you being a Firekin and all......no offence..."
His ears flattened against his head, looking sort of apologetic before he smirked again and then lay down next the red giant.
"But...since your obviously gonna be part of the pride...I might aswell get to know ya..."
Another gentler sort of smile graced his maw, even though a flicker of teenage mischief twinkled in the corner of both his pale eyes his voice was sincere to say the least.

The young males eyebrows shot up, a look of suprise on his features, he was kidding right? After all those horrible things his so called pride has done to young lions and cubs through the years, slavery, murder, beating up rogue children that were not of their pride...the list could go on.
He straightened his face and cleared his throat gently before beggining to speak.
"Well for one thing...your pride has made slaves of any lion or lioness they could get hold of and made their life a living hell, or they'd kill them without even giving them a chance to explain why they're in your territory..."
He pondered whether to say the next thing, wandering in the Pride Lands had given him knowledge by sneaking in on conversations other animals had, but if it would make his point, then so be it.
"...And I've just recently heard that the King of the pride had just killed an adolescent lioness just for having a rogues cubs...I know it was a while ago...but that story just makes me shudder just thinking about it!"
Even as he said this, the fur on the juvenilles back rippled slightly in a sort of feline shudder before he calmed down.

"Jua...", He said quietly, shifting slightly to make himself more comfortable. One thing that the desert had was sand... it would conform to your shifting about and form quite the comfortable nest for a good night's rest- this ground, though it was covered in grass, was harder and more firm... a it more difficult to gain comfort from, "I remember that... my father came back drenched in blood. I was younger then, I knew better than to question him. I was..." He tilted his head to the side, trying to choose his words carefully, "I wans't his favorate son you see... he's quite the traditionalist and I'm sure he was disappointed with my birth along with my brother's. I'm younger so that kind of made me the spare paw. My mother- up until her death- was only one who really cared for me." He shrugged a bit- a motion he growled at for the bite of pain it delivered to him, "But not all that's true... my brother's mate is from these lands, that's how I found out about it, and I didn't take slaves... ", he glanced to the others, smirking a bit.

The juvenille at this moment was smiling softly at the last comment, his ears perking ontop of his head while his tail twitched pleasently from side to side, sure, he was sad about his sister, he felt sorry for the big guy even...but he would've never expected him to take a slave in a million years.
"I'm never gonna expect that from you Mwa'..."
He lazily cut his name to a shortened version and smirked slightly at this, he must've really gotten used to him.
