Raiden was in a sour mood.
No particular reason. One of those ‘I woke up on the wrong side of the bed’ days. So all he felt like doing was sitting and staring at a ground squirrel. It was amazing how brave the little thing was, staring right back at him. It tilted it’s head, blinked, chirped something, but kept on staring. Ven when he’d started talking to (at) it, it remained put.
“Dumb rodent. You must be nutty. Get it, nutty Yeah, I could totally kill you. Like right now. “ He scowled as it didn’t seem intimidated. This annoyed him. It should totally be intimidated. He was a god! Fierce and big and scary! … So why was this dumb little animal staring at him?! Hmph. He grumbled and flopped on his side, still staring at it. “Yeah, idiot, I’ll just let you sit there. Lucky little.. Hey, where are you going? “ Oh, now it was moving. “Hey! No leaving unless I say so!” The god growled childishly, hopping to his feet and pouncing at the slowly retreating rodent..
Of course, in response to the assault it started to a mad dash, vanishing into a nearby hole. “Hey! Wait! … Come out of there, now! “ No answer. “FINE, see if I care. Stupid little mouse. I’ll find something else to do! “
…
…..
Man, the mortal world could be really boring sometimes.

As the sun fell and the moon rose, Kivu started to wake up. She’d been nocturnal since birth and to try to change her sleeping pattern was a bad idea. Whenever she tried before it had left her so drained – better to just go with it. She was a night time goddess, simple as that. She stirred in her baobab bower which she’d crashed in for the day and passed a paw over her head tuft, not quite ridding herself of bed-head. Yawning and blinking, she moved to look out of the tree…only to grin and lay down to watch Raiden’s antics in the distance.
Heeello~ What was this?
It looked like entertainment came ready prepared tonight, she thought, as she tried to see what it was Raiden was up to. She hadn’t even known that the familiar god was in the area and it had been quite a while she she'd seen him. Kivu snorted to see him suddenly get up and go pounce at something. He looked like something had ruffled his feathers. Maybe she should be a good friend and go find out what it was – or ruffle those feathers some more, whatever struck her fancy!
She leapt down from the tree with a brie opening of her wings and started to wander over.

The thunder god sat there, pouting and the whole for a bit longer before he actually heard the other goddess approach. He blinked, twitching an ear and glancing to the side Kivu would be approaching from, but didn't completely turn to greet her. Hmmmhmm. Heey, he remembered her. This actually cheered him p a bit, because maybe now he wouldn't be so bored!
But, Raiden was still somewhat grumpy, so he merely nodded quickly in her general direction. "Hi. " Pause. Uuuuhhhhhhmmmmmm.
"Nice 'do. " Her bed-head had not gone unnoticed.

"Hmm?" She blinked before cottoning on. She sat back on her hind legs and reached up to run both forepaws down over her 'hair' to smooth it. One paw descending to earth smoothly after by the other dallied to catch a yawn. It was still rather early for her but she was waking up. After all, Raiden was about to entertain her. She settled, sitting and let her tail tip wave as it would, like a kitten's watching a string. Playful.
"Hello. What were you hunting a second ago - or were you just pouncing shadows?"

"I wasn't hunting, " He scowled, moodily shufffling to the side ad looking accusingly to the hole the ground squirrel had vanished in. "Just trying to teach a dumb rat a lesson. " Yes, like that made total sense. Well, now he was just going to get all mad at the squirrel again! Maybe time for a subject change.
"Hey, so. You're not runty anymore! " Ohmy, growing up is such a foreign theory.

"I was never runty, I was just smaller and younger than you." She rolled her eyes at him. It was either than or get annoyed that he'd called her runty. She was perfect and always had been, thankyouverymuch, stupid thunder god.
"See you got your mane though. Some gods don't have them at all. Find it a bit weird myself." See? She was giving him a compliment. Sort of a backpawed compliment to other male gods without manes but a compliment to Raiden himself. So clearly she was the nicer lion here. He sort of insulted her. She complimented.
Oh yeah, Kivu was perfect.

Well, hmph. "Sure, whatever. " He waved a paw dismissively, catching on to the 'compliment', but trying not to focus on that. He didn't care about other gods not having manes, pfft. If they felt like being bald, so be it! It's not like they couldn't grow whatever amount of fur they wanted in seconds, or anything...
"I saw this cub in haven, really a talker. He had a very girly hair 'do. " He said distractedly, remembering the very... odd yellow cub. Who really liked the sound of his own voice. "So, besides growing a bit, what have you been doing? " Maybe she'd spent her time bothering mortals like he had~

"I've never been to haven." She said almost dismissively. She'd grown up with mortals, by the Mteo pride who knew her mother. How fun could haven be, with no mortals and just gods? Kivu didn't think she was missing out on much up there.
"Oh, I'm thinking of becoming a goddess of this pride I found. Looks like it could be fun and it'd be a belief-buffet to keep me going. And what have you been up to?"

"Nice, it's really boring up there. " Full of whiny infant-gods.... Well, okay. One whiny infant god. But if there was one, there must be more, of course! At her next comment, and question, Raiden paused a bit, musing. "Uhh... bothering some mortals. " Mostly Ethi. Maybe he should get a pride. Raiden hardly worried about belief; his domain was pretty secure. Just about every lion must have heard thunder at least once, but still... Maybe some belief in himself, the god, would be nice. It certainly wouldn't hurt.
"What pride? " He asked, casually. "And how are you planning on winning them over? Any miracles up your sleeve? "

"Much as I like bothering mortals, might be nice, being worshiped and all. Still, might not do it." She was fickle and indecisive like that. Besides, what if she had to stop having fun and playing pranks if she became a pride's goddess? That'd never do.
"They're called the Dongo'nchi. I could easily step in as their goddess...they revere the earth first and foremost but the moon is not far behind. I could use my powers to shadow the moon for their rituals. Easy work and they're nocternal like me."

"I suppose, " Lets just go ahead with 'I totally agree', because Rai would certainly love to be worshiped. Lions who adore the ground you step on? Ooh, he could go for that... so long as they didn't follow him around or anything. That could get old, come to think of it.
"That looks like a nice fit for you. " He pondered, yes. Very good fit for her indeed. Pity he couldn't think of any pride who would particularly be fond of thunder. "So, how will you do it? Play it cool and mysterious? Or just be up-front about it? "

"There'll have to be some mystery but they'll know I'm a goddess - they just won't know I'm about the eclipse, not the moon itself. And I don't plan on giving up my fun." Kivu waved a paw expressively.
"I'd rather not have a pride than have to give up having fun." She almost offered that he could come by sometimes if he wanted. Some dramatic thunder - shake 'em up a bit - really set the scene. But she wasn't sure she wanted to share her toys as it were. She wasn't even sure if they'd be her pride yet, never mind sharing them with him. And who was he anyway? If she shared with any body she should probably see family first over sort-of-friends.
"Speaking of fun, wanna go somewhere? Besides your rodent, not much to do here. Maybe you could show me haven....see if we can't jazz it up a bit up there."

"Right, " He nodded. The pride would probably be less impressed if she were the goddess of "a shadow blocking the moon from sight" rather than the actual moon. Besides, so long as the real moon diety didn't figure out this 'impersonation', all should be fine-enough. Even if e did, what could he do, anyway?
He blinked at the new question, pondering that for a moment. "Pff, no. Haven is boring. We can't do anything there. And there's always Death just.. sitting there. Staring at you. Its creepy. " Weird guy, that Death. "Though.. we could find some rogue around here somewhere... " He smirked. "Terrorize them a bit. Y'know, get invisible, poke them around.. "

She was named for her uncle, the actual moon god. Kivu hadn't really thought about what could happen if he ever showed up and found her playing moon goddess to a bunch of mortals. Family reunion? Whatever happened, she'd undoubtedly tell you she was smart enough to get out of it anyway. Kivu had just a little bit of an ego, if you can call the size of Kenya 'little'.
"Eh, maybe...come on, let's go." She shrugged and started walking, expecting the other god to just follow her lead. Kenya, remember? They'd find something fun to do eventually. He'd made a good point about Haven anyway. Death was goddamn creepy and it was kind of a buzzkill having him stare after you.

Raiden was still a little distracted by his own thoughts on wreaking havoc upon mortals, so at first he was slightly confused when she said 'let's go'. He blinked, staring at her as she moved away and didn't even bother looking back it him. Huh, what?
"Hey, hold on! " He scrambled on his feet a bit before hurrying over to join her. "What am I, your dog?! "
