Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her red eyes kept her brother's figure in her sight. Tzila made sure to stay a little bit away from her older brother. Her tiny paws pressed lightly into the ground as she glanced down, noticing the difference between Dakarai's paw print and her own. She had much growing to do.

As she had snuck away from her mother's ever watchful gaze, she loved all her siblings but it was Dakarai out of all that caught her interest the most. She wanted to spend time with him, but he didn't seem to want to spend any time with her. So, she followed after him, quietly and a ways behind, so that she didn't get in his way but very curious as to where he was going.

When her older brother made a call, Tzila paused, wide-eye and curious. Was he planning on meeting any of his friends? If so, she wanted to meet them! When Dakarai was searching for his friends, her crimson eyes searched the area as well before she went closer to her brother before coming to stand right next to him.

She looked up at him and smiled, "Are you waiting for your friends, Daka?"

It had taken her brother a little while to notice that she was here. Had she kept hidden that well from her brother or was he ignoring her? Tzila couldn't tell, but at her age, it didn't phase her.

At his words, her ears drooped slightly as she looked at him, "She won't notice I'm gone, she has other cubs to worry about." She huffed slightly and turned her head. Her crimson gaze settled on a figure some distance off. It was a lioness, one she's never seen before but as green as the grass itself!

Tzila didn't know how lucky she was, made him miss his mother's affection even more. "Tzila, when I was a cub, I wondered off and Momma recognized I was missing in short order, my litter was as big as yours." It had been so scary, huge birds threatening his very life with their sharp claws and hateful sounds. Speaking of, his eyes traveled up, gazing for trouble, unconsciously moving to blocking his little sister from the sky's view. Nothing too dangerous was flying, about the only place trouble would come from in the pridelands.

Eyes sweeping downward he recognized the familiar shapes in the distance, ears falling. No, sure he had been looking for them but now, he so didn't want to be found. Had he gotten Tzila home, then there wouldn't be a problem. However, how could anyone but him resist the fuzzy attention leeches? He could almost hear 'where is your adorable little sister?' Lowing his head he mumbled to himself, "Great,".

He had to call out now, it would be rude not to, "Naga'nika! Tiamat!" There was a smile but there was also a jealous juvenile kicking a rock and pouting within.

And sure enough she had been right as she heard their best friend call their names. Tiamat grinned to her sister before the pair headed over in Dakarai's direction. It didn't take her very long to spot the little cub close to him. Ah...so this must be one of his little siblings...unless he was a father and didn't tell them! She gasped mentally before she shook it away. Highly unlikely.

"Dakarai! It's nice to see you," She shifted her gaze to the cub, "And who did you bring with you?"

Dakarai's voice made her smile slowly as Naga'nika nodded to her sister. "Let's go and see him!" A light spring in her step at the idea of seeing her best friend. She didn't pick up the cub as quickly as her sister did. The green lioness didn't notice the cub until they were almost to Dakarai.

She felt herself get a bit nervous and shy. This was someone new...someone she didn't know. Who was she? She looked at her sister quizzically but got no answer. She just turned back to Dakarai with a weak smile and a quiet greeting, "Hi Dakarai." Before her eyes settled on the cub.

With a bright smile, Tzila looked at each of the two lionesses. They were even more impressive than she had ever imagined! Her tail flicked from side to side as she greeted them, "Hi! I'm Tzila...and Dakarai's my big brother!" She purred softly before she tilted her head to the side, "Do you all play games together?"

Looking down to the young cub by his paws, then back up to his best friends, Daka watched. Tzila was being her adorable self, he grudgingly admitted to himself, and grateful his best friends were being their great selves. The urge to dye his mane and slick off kicking something faded each moment more.

Grinning to Tiamat, he playfully commented, "Always happy to take the trouble for my friends." There was a thought going through his mind, to be scare to find, but as soon as it came, it left. They all had a great friendship, playing around and having fun all the while being relaxed. There was peace and fun with his friends, how lucky he was that they stumbled upon him all those months ago.

Listening to Tiamat talk to his sister, he waited to see if both she and Naga'nika would turn their attention to the little cub. Tia did, but his ego flew instead of slinking away. One would think he was blushing, but fur does a great job of hiding anything that might be there.

Attention taken from the cub and Tia, he turned to look at Naga'nika. Smiling warmly to her, ears perked up. "I have been alright, adjusting." Tilting his head to Tzila to indicate what he was adjusting to, attention stealers. "How are you doing?"
