Yamir had never been outside of the Mteo’nyungu’s lands – in fact, leaving the lands was frowned upon as far as he’d been taught, so his ‘adventure’ taking him away from home was probably something he was going to regret when he returned to said home….. give or take that he actually hadn’t thought that far ahead yet.
All he was focusing on at the given time was how much… ‘nothing’ there was out in the lands he’d wandered into. Yes, the Mteo’s lands were boring, but he had been expecting everywhere else to be more interesting when he got there! Why was nothing interesting for him? Hell… could he recognize interesting when it thrust itself into his face? He didn’t know if he could.
Yamir had never actually seen ‘interesting’ before in his life! AHHH! SO EXCITING!
It was over the course of several days that his adventure started. On day one, he left home and discovered that hunting was a lot more difficult without a helping hand away from home – his bright coat attracted all sorts of attention!
But that didn’t mean he wasn’t enjoying being outside, watching animals skitter away from him – at least he enjoyed it until the next day.
The next day, he realized that scaring away his potential dinner meant that he would be going hungry until he could get something – which ultimately came at the charity of a young white lioness. However, this was only after she’d allowed her children to eat as well. From there, he continued along on his adventure.
It was only on the third day that things started to look more and more interesting – he’d discovered, and been chased out, of the desert… and earned a good pawful of claws in his rump for it. Oww! Those were some angry red lions!! He’d only said hello at that….
….
….
Which left him at his current state of affairs – cleaning up the scratches on his butt with his tongue, wincing every time he went over the slightly-raw patch of flesh. Ow that hurt!
“Stupid red lion..” Yamir frowned, finally settling his head on his legs with a big frown to leave the aching bit of his rump to do it’s own thing and heal over awkwardly over the night. What else was he going to do? He didn’t have the power to will his butt healed… and besides, he needed to rest or else he was going to miss something amazing the next day!
He’d heard something about a ‘Jungle’… so tomorrow, he was going to go see it!
