Samudranta sat with her eyes closed and her tail curled around herself, looking almost like she had fallen asleep sitting up. If one got close enough, however, they would be able to see her swaying a little and hear her humming softly to herself. It was lovely up here on the mountain, beside the river flowing down into the lands below, and she was enjoying the sound of the water and the feel of the breeze. She liked this new home her mother had brought them to. Adjusting to the change in scenery and terrain hadn't been all that hard, especially since she'd been fresh off her name quest when all the awfulness had happened.

Adjusting to staying in one place again, however, was a little bit harder. She'd grown used to wandering, grown to like it, and had seriously considered going rogue and not returning to the pride at all...but she couldn't have turned her back on the people she loved. The thought of not seeing anyone again had been more than she could bear.

She would just have to satisfy herself with little adventures here and there when she could.

Tidiskonani had been shocked, and no less than emotional to hear what had happened to the swamps, and had feared what may have become of the pride, but releived that they had found a new home. The mountains sure were different from the swamp, but he liked it just as well. He was able to keep cleaner - not that he much minded being dirty - and it was easier to explore. Time to time he challenged the mountain, which of course the mountain won, but he was hard-headed, determined, and resilient. Surely one day he'd reach the top! Of course, he didn't know that such a feat would be impossible.

The red-pelted lion padded over in the direction of Samudranta, slowing his bouncy gate as he neared, then stopping altogether a short distance behind her.

"Hey there," he said in his cheery voice, an ever-present smile on his face. "What'cha up to?"

Samudranta started slightly at the sound of a voice interrupting her reverie, but was quick to smile when she saw that it was Tidis. She blinked to clear her eyes and readjust to the light, and her tail set to twitching back and forth. "Up to? Nothing. Just listening."

Apparently not all that well, considering that she hadn't heard him approach, but she'd been focused on the river. Mm-hm, right, good excuse. She would stick to it, though. "You?"

"Listening? Hear anything good?"

With that, Tidis flopped down in his carefree way and laid beside Samu, putting on a display of stretching as he explained, "Not much. Challenged the mountain again today. Mountain won," he then laughed, "As usual."

He looked at the river for a moment, thinking maybe he should catch her a fish or something... But oh, who was he kidding? Fish catching was way beyond his skill. With his luck he;d slip and be caught by the current and then she'd have to save him! And that would just hurt the ego. Yeah, better not to go there.

"Oh, nothing much, just something about a crazy lion who keeps trying to climb the mountain," she teased, all in good fun as she watched him stretch. He really was a handsome lion, and his repeated efforts to climb the mountain hadn't hurt. "How far'd you get this time? See anything good?"

He put on a playful pouty face before rolling over on to his back, sunning his belly.

"I little further than last time, but the rocks were getting too big to get a foothold...I think I'll try a different direction next time." Still belly-up, Tidis twisted so he could see Samu better, although he looked rather silly for it. "There was this really cool looking dead white tree, just kinda growing out between the mountain and a boulder. Kinda strange."

Nature was funny that way - life sprung up in the weirdest of places sometimes. Speaking of weird, sometime he'd have to ask that big ol' scarred lion how he could navigate the mountain so easily... He made it look like child's play! Oh, but Tidis was a little scared of him... Not that he'd admit that of course!

"Was there?" Samudranta perked up, ears pricking forward with interest. That did sound cool-looking! "I want to see! You'll have to show me sometime."

Sam did her own share of exploring, but tended to go out rather than up; at a certain point, the breathlessness started to get to her. She also liked to poke around in some of the caves she found, but after stumbling upon a rather temperamental honey badger once, she had been a bit more careful. Startling a cave full of bats had also been rather shocking. Cool, but shocking.

"Sure! I'll take you up there some day."

Adventure seemed to run strong through them. No doubt if not tied to the pride then they would have found endless adventures. Never the less, the heart yearned for home, and given time the mountain would become as much home as the swamps.

"We can explore caves and play in the snow!"

Snow was a silly thing. Tidis hadn't known what to make of it when his paws first reached the chillier heights and the white powder chilled his paws. Sometimes the snow made it more unbearable than the change in air pressure.

Samu would look pretty in the snow, he thought. Not that he didn't think her already very pretty, but... He shook his head and fell back over to his side, tail twitching a few times.

Speaking of caves... A mischievous thought flitted through the lioness' mind, and she stood suddenly, a little wiggle of excitement in the movement. Once on her feet, she jumped over Tidis and broke into a run. "Come on! I wanna show you something!"

Or, more accurately, she wanted to see how he reacted to a cave full of bats.

Rolling over on to his feet, Tidis followed.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

He had no idea where she was taking him, and that just added to the excitement and wonder.
