Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adongo walked along side his brother giving his head a bit of a shake. They had set out from their pride together to see the world, meet new faces, perhaps find mates and eventually if they chose, return home and live their lives. It had been a relatively easy and fun journey so far, filled with ups as well as downs. Today in particular had seen one of those downs. "You know we would have had that antelope if you had have been paying attention, warthog dung." Their recent hunting attempt had gone all wrong and they were still both hungry.

Well at least they could slack their thirst before their next attempt. And lucky for them there was a watering hole up ahead. "Good thing we don't need to catch watering holes or we might both go hungry and thirsty today." He joked as they came to the edge of the water and bend his head down to drink.



"Don't blame me, giraffe breath, it was just as much your fault. I was where you told me to be, you should have done a better job of running them towards me." He wasn't mad at his brother, no they rarely ever had a true fight, but they were both feeling a bit frustrated at their lack of success. Padding forward Apiyo was eager to slack his thirst, it had been a lot of work chasing that darn antelope and they had nothing to show for it except for their dust covered pelts and empty stomachs. "I doubt you could catch something that didn't move." He poked at his brother before also lowering his head to drink.

Lapping up the water Apiyo let his eyes roam across the watering hole until they settled upon a black male. Lifting his head, a few drops of water fell from his lips as he looked towards the male. "Afternoon!" He called out in a friendly tone and then motioned for his brother to follow, and padded towards the other male.

Having slacked his thirst Adongo looked up to see what, or who, had caught his brothers attention. He spotted the black male and followed Apiyo along the waters edge. Giving the strange male a smile in greeting he came to a stop beside his brother. "Greetings. We're doing alright, how about yourself?" His eyes swept towards Apiyo, giving his brother a bit of a grin, almost daring him to bring up their bad hunting experience to this stranger. "The names Adongo, friend and this," he motioned with his muzzle. "is my brother." Though he deliberately left out his brothers, just to irk him a bit, though it was hard to irk Apiyo.

Apiyo huffed a bit at his brother. "Yes, we are doing quite well." He left out the part about the bad hunting, it wasn't exactly something he felt the need to share with this stranger. Telling strangers, or even those they know, about their failures wasn't something they wished shared. "My brother seems to have forgotten my name." He said with a bit of a chuckle, shaking his head lightly. "I'm Apiyo. What's your name?"
