The sun was almost about to rise over the Pride Lands and already the little male cub was up. His teal eyes lit up with glee as he looked over the serene land. It was a brilliant sight, the rising sun, the animals emerging from their dens, and the start of another day. Ger was ready to get out there, away from Pride Rock for the first time.
It was only months ago since his mother gave birth to him, the small crying fur ball. Days of neurturing and bathing and constant watch. Jhazara was the mother of a very rumbuncious cub.
Today was his chance to get away from the prison he called home, he wanted to explore. Ger's teal eyes waved left and then right, no one else was awake. He turned around, nope. Good, now he can go off on his own.
He set a single paw onto the stone steps, the first of his journey around Africa.

The soft pad of footsteps behind him marked his mother's footsteps...She was young still, not really old enough to have a large litter...but she was terribly proud of her one sone so far.
"Where do you think -your- going?" she teased... "Heading out without me?"
She had her own kind of pride, as her siblings could attest to... half dreaming of far of lands she could never visit...

Trying to think quickly to his mother's questions. "Around the watering hole." he said, obvious he was lying. "Er....I mean around Pride Rock." he added, contradicting his last reply. "I was gonna go look for you and....well, since you're here we can go!" Ger blurted with a very weak smile.
Ger may be good at trickin' the other older lions into believing him and sympathsize for him to play into his hands. However, Jhazara was different, she was his mother.
"Can we go to the waterin' hole?" he asked.
Drat, I was so close to gettin' away by myself this time....

Her tail tip twitched a little in amusement "You -are- your father's son...
She murmered... "What do you want at the watering hole then?" She said curling her tail around her paws...
"And why alone? you -know- the hyenah's are just -waiting- to..." and she leans in sudenly towards him to give him a start... "GOBBLE you up.." she says her whiskers curling forward amused.

Ger laughed as she got closer to him with her comment and fell onto his back, still giggling. Rolled onto his side and looked up to her. "Hey!"
Now that he thought about it. All his life was with Jhazara. He watched as the other cubs with their mothers and another male who showed affection to the mother. Whenever he asked the cub who that male was the response was always, "My dad." Thought his life Ger never saw any male, that he knew, that showed affection for his mom.
"I am like my father? Who is my father?" he asked.
((His father's Argoko -ish reminder-))

She smiles and twitches her tail... "He was... His name is...or was Argoko... He's somewhere out there..." she says a touch enigmaticly

"Ar....goko" why was his mom being so....vague? Why hasn't she mentioned his father before. Where was he now. "Is he around here?" he asked looking around Pride Rock. Perhaps he resided in darkside of Pride Rock were not many lions go. But when he remembered the "was", his heart sort of...fell. "Is he....alive?"
Was it possible that his father is gone and Ger would never be able to see him again? How would he turn out without a male rolemodel? Could he just live like he would with his mother's guidance? What if he was alive and then Ger can go out and find him! Yeah! Then he can bring him back and the three of them can be a happy family!
Ger smiled happily at the thought of reuniting his parents and his parents.

"So then he is alive!" he shouted, attitude now brightened. Ger loved his mom, she was all he had. Now if he could find his father then he can share that love. "So then I can go find him then!" he wanted to go at that very moment. Bound down the stairs, run down the dirt path, and out into the Pride Lands to find the male, Argoko. If he can find him then they can be a real, perfect family.
"Come on, mom, let's go!" the cub shouted. "Let's go find dad!"

Ger stared down at himself and back at his mother, "What does that make me?" he asked innocently. Every male that he knew had tufts of hair on them while as he had none.
"Okay then, to daddy we go!" he shouted, one step triggered it all. His foot got caught on a rock when he moved the momentum pulled him down and free, sending the cub down the stoney path to the base of Pride Rock. The cub landed with a thud and with a bank stare on his face.

He chuckled when his mother's wet, rough tongue touched his fur. She was the only one that could clean him so neatly, not even himself could do such a job. She was truely his mother. But some times he wonder if she really was....she was so different than him. Her fur, her markings, her eyes. But he always beat himself up for thinking that.
"Mom, can I go do it again?" he said with a grin.
