[PRP] Step Out of the Shadows [Dubh & Raha]

[Truth.Be.Told]

Raha-mkataa stalked the fat hare that had wandered into the swamps. She'd been in need of a snack, and Shairi had alerted her to the prey creature so...perfect timing. Her tail twitched as she moved silently across the patch of semi-dry land, quiet as death. Well...death for a hare. It had been several seasons since she joined the pride, and she'd grown used to the way the land moved beneath her paws, and how to stay quiet while stalking. She had not, however, quite gotten the hang of it without her full concentration. And thus...wouldn't hear anyone else coming...

Regardless of the time he'd now spent in the muddy lands, Dubh just couldn't seem to get the hang of how the ground shifted beneath his paws. The only enjoyment he got from it, was seeing his younger siblings flop around, because of it. But soon, as the young male knew, they'd get the hang of it. And then, he'd be the laughing stock of the family. The inept older brother. Too stupid to handle the mud. A growl slipped from his young maw. As far as things had been going, he already was a mockery. He even had to tend to one sibling, specifically. ..So much for being loved.

As Dubhshith trudged along, his mind overwhelmed by his angry thoughts, he didn't see the dip in his path. The sudden lack of ground beneath his foot caught him by surprise. Unfortunately for Dubh, there was no choice for him, but to go on a mud slide ride.

Raha didn't hear the other moving through the mud. Didn't hear them miss the dip. Didn't hear them coming towards her until the rabbit fled and she found herself run into by a younger lion. The scarred lioness yelped, trying to keep from toppling over. She...didn't succeed, and toppled over into the mud, fur now spattered with a good coat of browny-black. "Dear Karma! What the heck?!" She normally wasn't one for outbursts but...her snack had gotten away, and she'd been run into, into the mud. The older lioness was not amused.
