Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kicheko splashed in a puddle that had formed in some of the rocks near where her mother and father called home. She loved the rain! It was like the ocean was falling out of the sky, surrounding them and making everything live. It also helped to cool her down after a hot day, since she wasn't allowed in the water just yet.

Her playing was interrupted by a rather icky noise. She lifted her head, her ears back, and wrinkled her nose in distaste. Yuck! Who was making that? She followed her ears even as she kept them plastered to her head, not wanting to fully 'enjoy' the song she was hearing. At least, she thought it was a song. One could never be too sure.

Finally she poked her head around the edge of the trees and spotted another cub playing by the tide pools. He stopped singing to poke at something in one of them, and she lifted her ears in excitement. The only other cubs she had seen were her siblings. They were nice to play with, but making new friends was always good!

"Hey!" she called out as the cub started to dance around, calling to the thing in the tide pool. She jumped out from behind the tree, tail bobbing back and forth as she tilted her head, a little grin on her face. "Hey, you! Were you just singing?"

Kicheko had to laugh as the other lion cub spoke up. Oh man...not too good yet? That was an understatement. "If you're gonna sing every day I'll have to keep faaar away from you, then!" she said bluntly, still laughing. "I like your talking voice better. It isn't as squeaky and high-pitched."

She tilted her head as Laer circle around her, watching him as he walked with a curious expression on her face. He sure was hyper! That wasn't a bad thing, though. Maybe if he didn't sing all the time he'd be a fun cub to play with. Once he sat down, she crouched a bit, bowing forward to wiggle her bum in the air. The pounce was coming...it was just a matter of when.

"My name's Kicheko. And no I don't, but I do like to just play! You should stop singing for while I'm here so you don't chase me away and play tag! That's way more fun than playing drums or something like that." Honestly, there were just some things that couldn't be out-done. Tag and hide and seek were two of them. She also liked racing, but wasn't very fast, so she usually lost. And where was the fun in losing?
