Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her beautifully patterned coat made her stand out like a sore thumb amongst the pale dunes of the firekin lands, her odd eyes, one red, one blue scanned the only world she knew, the world she loved and protected. A warrior through and through jyotika felt she was the greatest, strongest lioness in the world, and who was there to argue with her? Noone thats who. A smirk rolled over her lips as she slides down one of the dunes and lands at the bottom with an almost preppy pose of a stance, a sort of tadaa, to anyone watching.

Once again in her own world, off in the shadow of a secluded cliff, Shula did her slow, sweeping dance. To her, it was an art, something that made her better at what she did. Each movement, she told herself, could be mimicked in battle. She just had to perfect it at a faster pace. The biggest question was finding someone who would be willing to dance with her. For the most part, she ignored the world around her, not noticing her sister's presence near by.

Jyotika smirks quietly as she spots her sister messing about in the sand, her tail thwaps back and forth, she bends down and sneaks slowly towards her sibling her odd eyes smiling as she gets ready to pounce. A smirk lifts her maw as she leaps, her paws out, but her claws in their sheathes. "You look stupid." Jyotika snaps her paws out ready to snag her sister in a bear hug.

Jumping a good foot or two, Shula tumbled in the sand, a shocked expression on her face. When she looked up, she found her sister standing there, smirking. "Jyotika!" Glad for her red fur to hide her blush, the lioness slowly got up. "Um... Well... At least I'm doing SOMETHING with my time!" Though she imagined her sister was right - She probably looked stupid.

Jyotika chuckles and shakes her slender mucled head and bites her sister playfully. "Well at least I don't look like a pansey, and who says I am not doing anything? I pounced you didn't I?" She snerks clambering off her sister and sitting in the sand, giving a quick lick and flick groom over her face. "What where you doing anyway? You looked like a dying hare." She snorts lashing her dark tail and raising a brow at her sister.

"I do not look like a pansey!" She glared at her sister, then paused. "What IS a pansey, anyway?" Shaking her head, she circled around. "Anyway... I was... Dancing..." She gave Jyotika half-hearted glare. "It's very relaxing, and it keeps my muscles in good condition. It takes a lot of effort to dance!"

Jyotika gave a small snerk and rolled her eyes. " A pansey is a flower, a delicate nutty little flower!" She snerks and rolls her eyes "Yu huh and the fact that you looked like you were about to fall over and die in a spastic twitch of death doesn't make this silly exercise futile?" She raises a brow thinking quietly about what her sister had just said. "Do some hunting or fighting, that'll keep your mucles in shape, doing this prancing like some, some pridelander.." She makes a disgusted face "Will embarress our whole family."

Shula's fur ruffled. "It's not silly, it's worth-while! I bet I'm more nimble on my paws than YOU are! You lumber around like a rock!" As if to prove her point, Shula went bounding up the hill, picking the less easily-navigated route. "I can move with the wind!" Until she stepped wrong, a rock giving under her paw and sending her sliding right back down.

Jyotika broke in to a rautious laugh. "yeah like the wind!" She shakes her head "You are so embarrassing sister, and it's good I am a rock, no one can get through me, that's why I'm going to be the greatest warrior and you will always be just a delicate and silly flower." She snorts raising a brow at Shula and nudging her to her paws. "You should wrestle more, that'll keep you in shape, this sillyness should stop before mother finds out what a fool you are making of your self."

Shula could only glare from hwere she lay in the sand. "I'm not delicate, and I'm not a flower!" She got up, swatting at Jyotika. "I'm Firekin! I'm a fierce and roaring fire! And fire DANCES!" She'd watched a plant burn one day, when the clouds had threatened rain. They only brought lightning and wind. "I've seen it! I'll dance like the flames, and you can't do anything about it!"

Jyotika rolls her odd eyes and sighs sitting down "I'm only telling you what everyone else will think sister." She snaps getting to her paws and lashign her tail "Do you want to come for a walk with me oh dancing flame?" She raises a brow, this was about as friendly as Jyotika got, her family were the closest friends she had even if she couldn't express that she liked them.

Shaking her head, Shula turned for the desert. "No... I think I'll go do a bit of hunting... I need food after a morning full of dancing." Padding away, the red lion's tail swayed back and forth, twitching now and then to show her aggitation. "Do what you want... There might be soemthing near by I can catch easily..." She looked back, giving her sister a smirk. "Maybe even a hare..."

Jyotika smirks and rolls her eyes "You find a hare I'll eat it, hopefully it won't be a red one." She snirts and follows her sister "I'll come with you, we can surely find something decent to eat, obviously all that dancing is wasting away your legs." She scoffs walking beside her sister with her tail in the air.

Shula's eyes narrowed. "It is NOT wasting my legs away! Let me see YOU dance and tell me it's a weak action!" She turned away, loping off over the dunes. As she got further from the dens and further into the desert, she began to see the signs of animals on the sand. Snake... Scorpion... Scoropion... Spider... Small lizard... Snake... Snake.. Snake... Desert bird.. Ha- She stopped, examining the track. Hare... Slowly, she began to follow the track.

Jyotika simply rolls her eyes following after her sister, lowering her tail so as to stalk the hare that had left tracks in the sand. "If you say so Shula, personally, I wouldn't be caught dead dancing, it looks so foolish."

"It's not foolish, it takes a lot of work NOT to fall on your face." She suddenly stopped, ears up, eyes trained. "There..." She moved around the animal slowly, spreading her scent to confuse it. If it thought there were multiple lions, it would be too confused to go anywhere. When she'd finished her circling, she began to get closer, until the animal bolted, the lion tearing after it. Every twist the hare made, Shula made, putting her dancing to the intended work as she persued her prey.

Jyotika watched as her sister stalked the hare, her odd eyes following the persuit, she was sort of impressed by her sisters skill across the sands though she would never admit it, it wasn't her way "Chopchop sister!" She calls, a smirk on her maw.

Ignoring Jyotika, Shula focused on the hare and everything directly around it and her. Despite the fact the hare had more stamina, she began to close in, claws extending at every swipe. Before it could get down into its hole, her claws caught onto it, pulling it back. A part of her reveled in the hare's scream of pain right before she sank her teeth into it.

The tattoo marked lioness stood and padded over to her sister "Well done, very nice" She smiles and sits before her. "so you can catch a hare." She chuckles and grooms a paw and pushes it over her head to wash her face. "Always like the scream they make when they go."

Laying with the hare between her paws, Shula smirked just a bit. "It certainly sends chills down my spine..." Carefully, she ripped the hare in half, throwing half to her sister. "Here." She then began to eat the other half.

Jyotika took the hare with a claw and flicked it over a smirk on her maw, "yeah, it's satisfying." She snorts and picks up the half a hare turning to go, she gives her sister a nod good bye making a beeline for the high dunes, she liked to be alone when she ate, even with her family, she liked to be alone. Without anything else to say she flicks her tail in a wave good bye.

Grunting after her sister, Shula went back to her meal. Dancing, silly... It made her grin a toothy grin. No, it made her more agile to dance. It meant that she could more easily catch a hare than anybody else. When she finished, she licked her paws and maw before she headed back to her favorite spot to dance some more.
