Baldric was walking through the center of the pride while licking his lips. He had just managed to catch a small rat as a snack and was trying to make absolutely sure he didn't have anything left over from it around his muzzle. He had been watching how his mom and dad both cleaned up after meals and hoped he had done alright. He wanted to make sure he was clean before he made it to the track to watch a race. Unlike the last time, he warned his mom before he took off; he had been told to be very careful and come right home once the race was over with.
He couldn't wait to see what cheetahs were racing that afternoon. He got to the track and looked around for a place to sit. He looked around and spotted another cub sitting in the stands. He hadn't expected to see another cub here and decided he would go over to sit by them, to keep them company. He went over and judged to make sure he could see the track from his new spot before sitting down, curling his tail around his paws to keep it out of the way.
"Hi," he greeted the cub with a smile and turned his attention to the race track to see if anyone was out there yet.

 Nina wasn't allowed at the track very often so when her mother put her in the stands while she did her prerounds on the cheetah's Nina was extatic. She was checking out every bit of the track from where she sat. Her eyes darting every which direction. She knew her time where she was would be limited and once it got closer to the time for the race her mother would remove her and send her back to the den. Her mother always told her, 'You're just not big enough to be seen among the paws of the crowd and I can't watch you while I'm on duty.' Her words always made Nina frown. She was willing to behave and stay right with her but her mother had told her she would get her chance to be with her once she was considered a juvenile. That was her goal to get to juvenile so she could follow her mom on her rounds and see all the cool sights of the races.
When another cub came up and sit down next to her, Nina glance over at the little male. "Hello." She replied. Her mind escaped her to his name but she knew there weren't many cubs in the pride right now. Her mother had told her of a family that had joined that had cubs. They were older than her but a friend was a friend when there were few to choose from. "Is your mom doing her rounds too?" Nina asked remembering that her mom had also told her about the cubs mom being a new healer in the pride and about how nice she was.

At the cub's question about his mother, Baldric tried to stretch his neck up so he could get a better look at the track. He managed to catch the sight of the bright green stripe on her back as she headed back to where the cheetahs were getting ready.
"It looks like she is," No wonder she had agreed to let him come down here. He looked over at the cub; he wondered who her mother was until he remembered his mom mentioning that the healer they had met when they first arrived had recently had a set of cubs. He hadn't had the chance to meet them yet so he wasn't entirely sure.
"Is your mom Ms. Mavi?" he asked curiously.

Nina followed the other cubs gaze trying to see what he was looking at but she didn't know what his mother looked like so had no idea what he was really looking for. She didn't know how if other families had the same rules her mother had set down but she did hope so just so she wouldn't feel like her mother was being overly protective.
At his question about her mother she nodded. "Yes that's my mother. My name is Ninakupenda. What is your name?"

Baldric turned his attention away from the race track to give the other cub a smile. "My name's Baldric!" he replied, flicking his tail when a fly came near. "I got to meet your mom when we moved here. She gave me, my sister, and my brother check up."
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" he asked her curiously. He hoped that she did. His siblings made things a lot more fun than if he had been alone.

Nina returned the cubs smile happily. "Nice to meet you Baldric." She greeted and then glanced over to where her mother was beforee speaking. "My mom told me about you and your family. She said you and your family were all very friendly."
At his question about having any siblings she nodded. "I have one brother. His name is Faraji." She explained with a loving tone to her voice. She really loved her brother even if he could irritate her from time to time. He was family and she would defend him against everything to keep him safe if she had to.

"It's nice to meet you, too," Baldric replied with a smile then his ears perked up. Ms. Mavi had told her cubs about him? Wow! "She did?" He was glad that the healer had liked him enough to tell Nina about him.
When she mentioned having a brother, his grin widened. "Brothers are great. I have one. Does yours like to wrestle, too?" he asked curiously. Maybe he could meet the other cub and they could play together! Maybe he could play with both of them, he thought excitedly.

Nina nodded to Baldric's question with a smile. Her mom had really liked the cubs. There were so few cubs in the pride at the moment that she enjoyed seeing any cubs and so did Nina. Cubs meant friends for her besides her brother.
"He kinda likes to wrestle. We wrestle from time to time." She replied.LexThetaSigma I was a little vague about her brother cause his owner isn't around to rp him much but hopefully she'll be able to at some point. They'll be cubs for about three months or so.

"Wrestling's fun," Baldric replied. He remembered all of the wrestling that he and his siblings had done before they found the pride and remembered the small match they had when they met Nina's mom.
"So since your mom's a healer, do you get to watch a lot of the races?"Izzy Makani That's perfectly okay. I've got a cub whose siblings that she lives with belong to others that are unable to get on a lot so I understand completely.

Nina shook her head at Baldric's question. "No Mom says I'm not allowed around the race track unless she's with me and she works just about every race" She explained as she thought of all the times she had watched from far away on hills that allowed her to see over the crowd around the track.
"Mom tells me it's because she doesn't want me to get hurt."

"Aw," Baldric replied listening to her explain while keeping a close eye on the track, "At least you still get to watch." So far he had only been able to see two races: now and when he had been accompanied by the cheetah he had met.
"I guess she's right. With the cheetahs running as fast as they do, they probably wouldn't notice a cub down there." he replied, tail flicking behind him. "Are you gonna be a healer too?"

Nina nodded. "Yeah I guess. I've only got to watch from afar. I haven't gotten to be up close in the stands yet."
"Yeah. It's so easy to get lost among all the other larger lions and cheetah's." She explained before she nodded to Baldric's question. "Yeah I want to be. Mom promised me I get to watch her work once I grow up a bit."

"It's still neat, though, even watching from up here," he said, standing up to attempt to get a bit of a better look.
"That's cool. My mom's a healer," He had probably mentioned it and she probably knew his mom already, "but my dad's a breeder. I think I'm gonna see what all he does and work with him. It sounds interesting."
Baldric smiled at her, "Maybe you and my sister will get to work together; she's gonna be a healer too."

Nina nodded as she looked down to the race track. She knew she wouldn't be watching the race from here though. When Baldric spoke of his family she smiled. "Mom tried to explain the breeder's job to me. All I understood was the breeder pairs cheetah's together to make babies."
"It would be fun to work with your sister. Perhaps I'll meet her soon." She replied as a call from below caught her attention and she looked down to see her mother at the base of the stands. "Oh it must be time to go. I'll talk to you later Baldric. Bye!" She told him as she bounded down the stands to her mothers side and with a wave of her paw to Baldric left with her mom.LexThetaSigma Figured we could fin this one since we've got enough words and posts and plot their next meeting at a later date.
