Welcome to Gaia! ::

There were three things that were beyond a doubt sure to him at this point. First, it was hot, second he was dark and lastly he was miserable. However, the orange seemed to deflect some of the suns rays, but needless to say he was still quite hot at the moment. His mother and siblings hadn't been in the pridelands all that long and he had yet to get out and see much of it. Today had seemed as good a day as any to do such a thing. He had promised his mother he wouldn't wander to far, but then again, he never really did as he was told; at least most of the time. As he was walking about he noticed something peculiar that made him forget all about his being hot. Watching as a white cub tried to stare at the sun seemed a bit odd to him and it fasinated him enough to want to see who this young male was. Maybe he even knew some good places to hide from watchful parents. He watched as the cub shook his head and started walking and he decided he'd follow not to far from behind. He was contemplating on pouncing on the cub and cleared his throat instead. "The Sun won no doubt?" He inquired as he came to a slow pace beside the white male.

As the white cub stopped in his tracks Areo paused in his movements and plopped a seat facing the light male. The first thing that came to mind when the male smiled was, 'Kisa would love him'. Not that he was matchmaking for his sister or anything, but she smiled an aweful lot and this cubs grin reminded him of her. The male seemed energetic enough that Areo was intriqued to stay and listen to him as he went on about one day winning a contest with the sun. He found that highly unlikely, but stranger things have happened and he wasn't going to crush his hopes. He simply nodded and he grinned slightly when he introduced himself as Koios. He noted the cub seemed intriqued by his coloring because he kept staring, even if he wasn't trying to be noticeable about it.

"We aren't from the pridelands.." He stated cooly in regards to the looks from the male, "I'm Areoiris, but please, call me Areo." He flicked his tail across the ground and couldn't help but notice how full of energy Koios had and how Happy he seemed. 'Yep. Kisa would love him' His plan hadn't been at all to try and match make for his sister, especially this early into their life, but what could it hurt? Maybe this energetic furball was as curious about things as he was. Just because he seemed happy didn't mean Areo wasn't going to like him. "Do you like exploring?"

Areo really couldn't say that he was differnet from the cubs that had been born on the pridelands, however, he hadn't really met many and as far as he knew, they were rather different looking, minus their mother, if you would refer to her as normal. He made a small note of the fading grin of the other male at his words and it piqued his interest a tad. He was about to say something when the excited shout of Koios made him almost jump up with how excited and exuberent he was. He stood up with a smile. "Anywhere and everywhere!" He said excitedly. He made a note of the cubs earlier reaction but found that there was no need to worry about it for now. He may or may not ask mother later about the whole prideland/outsider thing.

"I haven't been able to see much yet, you know how mothers are. 'Don't go far darling, make sure you clean behind your ears!' Yuk." He did the whole motherly tone when he tried to imitate what his mom normally did. It made him chuckle and he looked to the white male for guidance of where they might go, if he didn't have any ideas, they could just go and look around.

"I would rather my mother be a bore. She's a bit on the protective side...." His voice trailed off as he followed the white cub. Pride Rock? He looked over at the cubs inquiring glance and he had heard of the large rock, but never really had thought he might see it. He wondered how far away it was. Koios didn't seem to concerned so Areo wasn't going to pay it too much mind then. "My brothers and sisters are going to be so jealous!" He said a bit excitedly. He picked up his pace a bit but then slowed back down because he really had no idea where he was going and that was one of the reasons he wanted to explore, so he knew where everything was and didn't have to ask questions.

"Do you have any siblings?" He asked the cub swishing his tail back and forth. He didn't have a care in the world right now and he was starting to forget about his mothers constant worrying for them to stay nearby.

"You have Nooo Idea." He said flattening his ears slightly. 'I'm surprised she hasn't come found me by now." He said with a mischevious grin. The thrill of being out here, against his mothers wishes. Made him smile he'd been out here as long as he had. He always tried to see how long he could be away for before she came and got him, or sent someone to find him. Him and his siblings were rather easy to spot with their unique colorings, that the the paler two had wings.

He had heard of the big rock since they had arrived on the pridelands, though didn't know a whole too lot about it. It really hadn't been top on his list of priorities. "How much do you know about this rock?" He was a bit curious. If it was so exciting he wanted to know a bit more about it so he could rub it in his siblings faces when he made his way back home. He noted how much the other cub was grinning and he figured it must be a pretty big deal if he was so exuberant about it.

Since the other didn't know much about it, it made it even that more interesting to Areo. A place neither of them knew much about, no adult supervision, the chance to get in trouble and all the time in the world! Life couldn't be better. Though, if mother showed up then all the time in the world wouldn't be on that list anymore. Areo looked around and spotted a huge shape in the distance, the shadows it was casting was enormous and he wondered if that was it. "Is that it in the distance?" If it was, he would be more than happy to race the other there and see who might make it. Though seeing how it was a distance away they would both probably wear themselves out before they got even remotely close. "We could make it into a game and see who can get the closest before we get tired." He said with a toothy grin and a playful bounce. He looked at Koios wondering if he would agree to play or not.

[sorry it took so long... things have been going on]

(omg.... >_< Been so long since ive been able to get on here!!!)

"How about that bush over there!" He exclaimed excitedly pointing towards a sad sight what used to probably be a very healthy shrub. He wondered how long they had before their parents found them, but it wasn't the closest thought in his mind. He was more anxious about running towards the huge rock. Maybe they'd even climb it once they got there.
