The sun beat against his back, warming the soft toned grey pelt. He had once been attached to his mothers side, but the adventurous streak within him had won over.
He often times would leave whilest no one was looking, and would be off all night, only returning home when his need felt satisfied.
The rabbit pelt across his shoulders warmed him a bit more than just the sun could, but he was quite happy with his prize. He had caught that rabbit with his own claws. His first one ever!
He would never forget it now.
But his paws crushed the grass that grew from the earth, as he looked around with gleaming sapphire eyes.
He was bored today, nothing really catching his interest.
He may have chased a butterfly earlier, but it was long gone.
Once his jaws had found it, he had munched it with happiness. Of course, he had decided butterflies really werent that tasty, with all the dust they left from their wings.
The watering hole would not be too far off.. He was thirsty, but he was also excited. Maybe something interesting would happen there. It was a melting pot of species after all.
A smile grew on his maw, and he began to move forward once more.

 For Malaika it had been a lazy morning. Her siblings had gone off hunting. Since it was one of the few things their dolt of a brother was any good at it was usually him along with one or both of the sisters. He only missed a hunting trip if he was ill. She didn't mind. The three of them had a mutual understanding. Each helped out to the best of their abilities, and their little three lion pride got along just fine. She was lazing in the shade of a tree only a few paces way from the watering hole. This was were she'd agreed to meet them, and unless something monumental happened, this was where she'd stay.

When he could smell the water, he smiled again, and he picked up his pace. His white paws carrying him slightly faster than they had been a minute ago.
He was ready to get this dusty taste out of his mouth.. It was horrible, it truly was.
The grasses ended a few feet from the water, where mud was caked and trampled. He ran to the water, his paws sinking into the mud as he lowered his muzzle.
His pink tongue lapped at the water, and it was so refreshing, he actually sighed.
When he was satisfied, he lifted his head, watching the other creatures.. It was rather barren here today. It was so hot, and this was the only watering hole for a little ways...He was sure there would be more here.
But he noticed only one lion sat lazily in the grasses.
He watched her tail flick, and decided why not, he could use some interaction.
He stepped closer slowly, cautiously, not looking to get his throat ripped out for being friendly.
"H-Hello."
He gulped, though his face didn't look as frightened as he felt.

She'd been watching the other lion from a distance. Not because he was doing anything particularly interesting, he just happened to be the creature moving around the most right then. When he approached her, she blinked, a little surprised. She smiled though at the greeting, and rolled onto her side.
"Hello," his caution was unnecessary. It wouldn't be so easy to offend her. Being offended took way too much effort. "I don't believe I've seen you around before," not a feat, her pride had a tendency to wander. "Looking for some shade?"

He released his breath that he didnt realize he was holding once she smiled. He didn't feel quite as anxious now.
He smiled, his own eyes lighting up as he watched her.
"I'm exploring, so Im not really..from around here."
He said with a shake of his head.
"I chased a butterfly out here, right before I ate it."
He puffed his chest up proudly and couldnt help but shake his head and stick his tongue out in a disgusted face.
"I dont recommend them. Theyre really dry."
He realized how talkative he was being, and clamped his mouth shut for the first time.
"I was looking for water, I blame the butterfly."
He giggled.

She giggled openly at his story.
"Was that your first butterfly then? No wonder you headed straight for the water. They look delicious but those things are vile!" she wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue as if to illustrate her point.
"Some of the most delicious looking ones are poisonous too," she frowned. "My brother learned that lesson the hard way. Enough about him though. If you're not from around here, where do you hail from, stranger?"

He smiled, nodding a bit, though it was a bashful nod.
"Yeah, my first butterfly. Im used to caterpillars, and stuff. I prefer the juicy ones. My brother, prefers the very crunchy dry ones.. Dry little cub would probably like the dry butterfly."
He joked, and chuckled at his own little bit of humor.
"Oh I hope that I learn the poisonous ones then! I should ask momma, I dont know that she knows I eat the things."
He said, referring to the bugs that was alot of his daily nutrition. He loved bugs.
"Im from a little ways away. I dont know what its called, Im not in a pride or nothing."
He said with another smile.
"My name is Chincha, Chincha'Jibari."
He greeted her, bowing a bit as mother had taught him.

"I'm not in a pride or nothing either," she laughed softly. This cub talked a lot. "Everyone just calls me Mal. Don't suppose the whole name matters much."
Chincha. She repeated it a few times to herself.
"Caterpillars, eh? I'm partial to dung beetles myself. You really ought to know how to spot the poisonous ones though." Really. Before he poisoned himself.

He gave a little bow of his head in greeting like mother had always taught him to do. He smiled, flicking his tail side to side as he watched her.
He knew he rambled on and on. It was a talent, that was much less talent much more annoying.
"Dung beetles? Ive never had one of those!" He exclaimed, thinking it over like he had never thought about eating them before.
"I always assumed they would taste...Well.." Then he looked at her with a little smile.
"Im careful, I only eat what I know I can eat.. But I will ask momma tonight to help me with poisonous bugs."
He said, nodding a bit, before plopping to a sit.
"So whatcha doing on your own? I walk alone cause no one wanted to come with me today."
He said with a nod.

"Oh that's easy," she looked out over the plains. With any luck her siblings would be heading home soon with a fresh kill. "The super bright ones that look incredibly tasty are usually the poisonous ones. The dull brown and gold ones that just try to hide are normally safe."
She took a slow breath, trying to remember everything that he'd said. It was hard. He talked so much and flitted from topic to topic so quickly.
"My brother and sister are hunting. It's her turn to make sure he doesn't wander off. He's a bit..." she couldn't think of a nice way to say he was an idiot. Instead she just shrugged and fell silent.

He smiled, but blushed a little and shook his head.
"Sorry, I was always told I could talk alot."
He tried to relax, even taking a deep breath to slow him down.
"Oh, thats easy to remember."
He said with a smile..
With each second that passed, his tail would toss and turn anxiously as if he was holding in a mound of questions he could ask.
Her brother was a bit what...?
He shrugged it off too, figuring it the smartest course of action.

(( I'm not sure how to reply. She never stated that he talked alot, she only thought so. Did he just pick up the vibe that he was going on too much? ))

"You can," really other then hardly being able to keep up with the conversations, she was fine with it. "I have to admit I haven't met many people who talk as much as you do. Maybe it's not such a bad thing?"
She couldn't really think how it would be a good thing at that particular moment but it was good to be optimistic, right?

"Well thanks, as long as im not bothering you." Though he did slow his conversation and tried his best to space out his thoughts.
"So do you hunt bugs?" He asked, approaching her, and sitting next to her, and pawing at her gently.
If she had personal boundaries, he wasnt aware of them, and he smiled innocently at her.
"We could bughunt! Thats what I plan to do here soon." He nodded.
