Finally, she stopped thinking about him.
For days and days since her encounter with Bara (a huge purple and black lion with a mean attitude, but had been semi-gentle/kind to her), Kali had not been able to get him out of her mind. If she had told her mother, the older lioness probably would have tsked and informed her to get over her silly crush. But was it a crush? Kali wasn't fond of males. So why on earth would she like one? And an adult, too?
She had no clue.
But now she didn't even think about him anymore! Kali didn't hate him, because he did end up teaching her something valuable, but that's the only thing she connected him with anymore. This was a good day.
She did not need someone to come ruin it. Like another boy. Who knew what would happen if that occurred; it seemed like she was an instant magnet to all boys in the area. They just flocked to her. Kali prayed that today she would have the chance to be alone, if only for now. Now, when she wasn't with her family.

Yakasa's Link againThe small navy lion with the "wings of fire" as his sister called them had taken to find a new hobby...chasing things. Well, it wasn't a new hobby per say, but one he had come to enjoy. Today's catch was to be a butterfly. Easy, simple and very hard to get to come to the ground!
The glittering creature floated ahead of Yakasa a few feet above the ground, which only had the lion try harder to capture it. It would make a pretty present for his Mom if he could manage to jump on it! He attempted once more to pin it down, making a fantastic leap...and landing straight on his hindquarters with a "whoomph"!
Yakasa rubbed his back with a paw before growling and trying again, determined to capture this prize. If only the creature understood that and would just...stay...still!

Kali's ears flicked to the right at the sound of a thud on the hard ground. She turned to see what it was and saw a cub her age trying to catch--of all things--a butterfly. Her eyes narrowed. Such a silly thing to be doing. Butterflies weren't that hard to catch, really. But she knew better now than to go and catch butterflies to show her mother.
She trotted closer and watched a few moments more at his struggling jumping and outstretched paws.
"You have to wait for it to land," she told him matter-of-factly, when she got tired of watching. Kali didn't even know why she had approached him in the first place; what was wrong with her? Especially a boy, too. Must be the weather playing with her mind and emotions.

Yakasa turned to look at the female with a grin. "Yeah, but...what's the fun in that?" he countered playfully before sitting back down to catch his breath.
"Name's...Yakasa." he spoke between breaths towards the other cub. "Are you good at catching butterflies? You must be if you can make them stay still!" he replied excitedly, letting his tail rub on the ground for a few moments. He had, of course, misunderstood her, but now having another cub nearby, his mind ignored the butterfly and turned his attention to the female.

Kali raised an eyebrow. Well..that was true, she supposed. Being patient was never necessarily a fun thing to sit through--rather literally, too. But still. You wasted energy in bounding up and down and around like that, continuously missing your prey.
"Kali," she replied simply. "I don't catch butterflies anymore. No one likes them, so I don't bother myself." She sniffed, but then truly listened to what he said and stared at him. Her...good at catching butterflies? No, no. Not since she caught one, showed her mother, and was chastised with such an accomplishment. Or that's what she had thought it had been.
Obviously, her mother hadn't agreed.
The butterfly quickly flitted away, probably thankful that Kali had distracted the persistent cub and now had his attention focused on herself. Great. With a sigh, she readied herself for another conversation.

"Oh...well, that's okay. Maybe another time butterfly." Yakasa turned back to the female and cocked his head. "So, if you're not catching butterflies, then what are you catching out here....um, I meant doing out here then? Bet it's something really cool!"
He nodded, sitting down and pawing the ground with a paw. "Bet it's better than having no place to go anyways. Nully doesn't visit anymore and well, it's more fun when you're abandoned with people then by yourself." He sighed quietly before reminding himself to perk up. "But, that's life I guess. We all have to move with the flow."
((Same as with the other RP, I'm sorry for misplacing the link. .-. Please let me know if you'd want to continue this, okay? :3))

"Oh, I'm not catching anything right now. Just trying to get my mind off things." Her tail flicked idly. "Although whenever I do catch things, I always do so quickly and with a lot of skill." Boasting, and perhaps a lie, but it still felt impressive to claim. She sat up straighter.
Although she kind of eyed him with curiosity at his comment. It was better (more fun) to be abandoned with others? "You were abandoned?" she asked, rather bluntly. But she couldn't help her interest in the subject.

Yakasa's eyes turned towards hers with interest. "Really? Wow, that's pretty cool." His tail flickered back as he stretched out his paws. "Yeah, my sister used to say I was really good at climbing but well...not anymore."
He turned towards her and nodded. "Yeah, well, something happened I guess. They moved on maybe? I don't really know but they are somewhere and I am somewhere else. So yeah, I guess abandoned is a good way to put it." The boy let out a little roar as he pawed the ground quietly. "But, I'm getting to meet new people along the way so I guess it was a good change of pace. Like you, it's a nice change of pace to talk to someone else instead of just the wind or whatever creatures I could find."

Lions were not meant to climb, anyways. Even if he could, that showed he wasn't a true lion. There must have been a speck of leopard blood in him, then. Tsk.
She closed her eyes at his little roar, and then opened one to look at him. Was that really necessary? "So you have no idea where the rest of your family is? Where you were born, and where they have 'moved on' to, as you put it? How...enticing." For her, at least, Kali would have loved to been abandoned. Then she wouldn't have to worry about this silly family anymore.
Soon, though...soon she would be free.

He turned and shook his head. "Nah, not at all. But, I'll be fine. Family or not, I know I can make it out here. En....ticing? What's an enticing?" Yakasa, for his limited youth, was still a bit confused by the acts of others. Not that it had hurt him much as of yet.
"So, Kali...what will you do now? Are you going to go find this...enticing thing? And do you need any company to find it?" For now, Yakasa would see what he could, and then work on moving forward from there.

Hm, another heroic-type, it seemed. Why did the girl who didn't like boys always seem to meet the ones who wanted to help her? It was a curse.
"Enticing means attractive, or wanted. For instance, I am attracted to the idea of growing up with no family whatsoever. I would gladly trade places with you if I could, for I don't like my family at all. Call it envy, or jealousy, or whatever you'd like. And no, thank you, I don't need company to find my way. I've already got it mapped out."
Plus, Hollis should accompany her anyway.
