Epine de Rose
It wasn't especially comforting to know that his brother might walk directly into some kind of medical hazard of the neighboring pride, but Kobe found some relief in how casually the female lioness spoke of it. Surely, there could not have been some type of dangerous plague if the alliance was secure and there were no great concerns moving between the two areas. He decided that was enough to still his line of questioning. Another conversation on another day. With Maji, maybe.
"Eh?" He called out at the mention of sand bars. That certainly wouldn't help him in what he was doing. She'd been correct in her first assessment of his strange behavior. The lion seemed to have some familiarity in his makeshift surfing. "I think the buoyancy is different than what i'm used to!" Or, it was possible the enormous, lanky lion had grown considerably since the last time that he had tried it.
Dragging his heavy body from the waves, he appeared even more comical than he'd behaved earlier in their conversation when he'd been flustered and stumbling over his words. Before coming too close to the purple lioness, he gave himself a quick shake to move more easily across the sand. "Ever try?" he called out with a grin. "I mean, surfing?"
If she'd acquired a large enough piece of driftwood, he'd take a quick look over it before adding. "I'd be happy to show you? Something more graceful than that, I mean. I can assure you," He couldn't hold back a light chuckle. "I know what i'm doing." That remained to be shown.
