What a beautiful morning for a revolution.
That was always the first thought that ran through Maguezo's head. She was up with the dawn every day and today was no different. Uten and Mfuto were always sleeping around now, so she didn't have to worry about them stopping or questioning her when she wandered off.
Now, she just had to find a new animal to educate. Shouldn't be that hard, she always managed to find one. Sometimes even groups of them, which was even better because she could teach them anarchy first hand by getting them to overthrow their leader.
Mag was good like that.
She stopped walking for a moment and sat up on her hind legs. She was a little small for her size, but that never stopped her. If anything, it gave her a sort of Napoleon complex. Except for the part where she doesn't want to actually rule anything. Just help overthrow leaders.

Chachili was just walking, minding her own business. She was actually out looking for rock-plants, the tasty sort, ready to bring them back to her fawns. They were asleep in the well-hidden ditch she'd left them in, and she'd ventured out to get them something edible.
Gosh, those fawns of hers could nag. Especially when they were hungry. Chachili often wondered if this 'mothering thing' was the right job for her. Well, she'd had them now... and she'd need to put up with the 'mothering gig' for a little longer. At least they wouldn't complain of the lack of food when she arrived back with rock-plants.
Moving along, Chachili looked out for any signs of predators. None so far. She sighed with relief, then moved on. She was getting paranoid these days... especially now that she had fawns. If she died, they died, too. It was a scary thought, but it helped Chachili be much more responsible.
She trotted forward, not noticing anything... or anyone, for that matter... around her. Chachili hoped that she wouldn't encounter anyone.
She didn't have the time right now for idle chatter.

Oh ho. And here was her first 'student' of the day. Mag grinned her crazy grin and sunk back into the grass, creeping along towards this new animal. She liked being sneaky. It helped her believe that if the time ever came, she could sneak around 'the man' and defeat him from behind. So to speak.
When she felt she was close enough, Mag shot up out of the grass and screeched "REVOLUTION" at the top of her lungs.
That always got their attention.

"Re... revolution?!"
Chachili whirled around, alarmed, just in time to see a strange little creature screaming something out from behind her.
"Wha..." the klipspringer stumbled backwards, then looked around, wildly, "Revolution? What are you talking ab-"
Pausing, she looked about her. There was nobody else in sight, apart from the strange little animal that had surprised her, and there was no sign of a 'revolution' of any kind. Her brow furrowing, she scowled at the creature.
"What was that for?!" she snapped, stepping forward, "I almost jumped out of my bliddy' SKIN!"
Chachili was not amused. At all.

Just the reaction she was hoping for. Another grin spread accross her face as she sat back up on her hind legs. "Obviously you aren't ready for one, are you?" She said plainly, completely ignoring the klipspringer's obvious rage.
"You see, a revolution can happen at any time, you've ALWAYS got to be on your guard for one."

"A revolution... anytime?" Chachili looked, bewildered, at the little animal sitting right behind her, "What garbage are you spouting?"
Did this animal live on the same planet? Yelling out 'revolution', in all places. Chachili shook her head. The nerve.
Sighing, she decided to stick around to hear more from the small beast. She obviously had something to say, and Chachili felt no need to be pestered.
"So... if there's a revolution, what should I do? Seeing as you know so much about these things."
She raised an eyebrow, expectantly.
"In fact, may I ask, when you expect this revolution to occur?" she looked around, nervously, "My fawns could be in danger, for all I know. But- " she paused, looking at the ratel with narrowed eyes, "You're not... winding me up? Are you? Are you?"
The klipspringer began to pace, and, as she did, she straightened.
"Oh, for the love of all things green and juicy!" she growled, "Look at how paranoid you've made me today!"
And with a grunt, and a flick of her tail, Chachili started off for home.
