Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kayode was silent and stealthy. He was certain now one in the area could see him behind the green leafs of the bush. His toes tapped with excitement. Was he really this great at hiding that no one could see him? His grin increased as he watched to see if anyone would notice. From his hiding he could easily see the den where his family stayed as well as other lions and lioness walking around the area.

One lion in particular caught his attention. He had the same belly markings as his father had! As quietly as he could (which was actually rather noisy) he jumped toward the nearest bush to get a better look at the lion. He was focused on getting to the bush, that he didn't check to see if the lion had noticed him or not. Regardless he ducked into the bush and made sure he was fully covered. He took a moment and stayed still. If the lion had seen him Kayode thought that maybe if he stayed silent enough, the lion would forget about him.

Once he was to impatient to sit still, he poked his head out of the bush to get a better look at the lion.

When he poked his head out he looked around to see if he could see the lion. He frowned when the lion wasn't within his sights. “Where did he go.” He said with a hint of annoyance, jumping out of his hiding spot. Kayode was about to walk away, when he saw the lion. He came to a complete halt.

'Should I jump back in the bush? Or maybe I should retreat? I could attack.' He thought quickly looking at his options. He went down in a pouncing position. For now he would negotiate and figure out just who this lion was.

“Who are you?” He said, doing his best to sound intimidating. “You look familiar.”

Kayode stared at the lion and gasped. He got out of the pouncing position and stepped closer to the lion, though still keeping his distance. “Not uh. I think I would know if my dad have a brother. My father tells me everything.” He said proudly. Then he paused and thought a little more about it. It was a weird coincidence that the lion looked like his dad though. He wondered if his dad had meant to tell him and it just slipped his mind. Adults could be so forgetful sometimes!

“Well maybe he did tell me and I wasn't listening.” He said as he walked in a circle around the lion. Then he came to a stop in front of the lion and sat down. “My name is Kayode. Nice to meet you.”

He gave his uncle a wide grin. Maybe now he had someone to play with, he thought excitedly.
