 Aden sprawled across a flat slab of rock just below the series of dens leading up to Pride Rock. He rested his chin on his forepaw, gazing dully out at the plains before him. All so golden and boring! Ver and his mother were out there somewhere, bonding. He snorted and rolled onto his back, scratching idly at his left ear with an extended claw.
"Stupid..."
The juvenile sighed once more and closed his eyes. Life certainly was tedious when one had no friends.

 Soft white paws padded against the stone of Priderock, carrying a body of blue over the ground. A golden tufted tail flicked gently as one of the pride's many princes paced his way down from the summit, green eyes lazily scanning the area.
They caught on something lower down, the colors vaguely like those of Priderock at sundown. And beyond that, they were familiar too. Matsai's eyes narrowed as he studied the other cub. He looked kinda like Verdad...
Curiosity drew him closer to the smaller figure, craning his neck to get a better look at his cub. "Hey... who are you?"

Aden opened his eyes and looked up at the other juvenile, rising to his paws cautiously. He studied the other for a moment, and then replied.
"My name is Aden," he said slowly, matching Matsai's green eyes with his own. "Why? Who are YOU?"

Matsai blinked as the other cub rose, studying him intently as he moved. Kinda small... but then, the blue cub was much larger than other cubs his age.
"Matsailema." He said softly, standing at ease as he watched with a blank expression. His lanky body was well muscled, fur smooth over it. "I ask, because you look like Verdad, a cub I know." His shoulders moved gently as he shrugged, blinking only slow and lazily. He keep himself looking unconcerned, hiding his sudden fascination with Aden.

Aden continued to match Matsai's eyes as he introduced himself... until he mentioned Ver. Then his face became masked in a frown, and he tilted his head ever so slightly to the left.
"Verdad is my sister. How do you know her?" he inquired, his voice tight. Apparently Aden wasn't as good at hiding his emotions as Matsai was.

Ah... so that was it. They were siblings.
Matsai settled back onto his haunches as he studied the other cub with a new interest. They were almost opposites, Ver and Aden, but still very much alike. Very much unlike his own siblings. They all looked very different from each other, except of course him and Ahai.
The change in Aden's tone pleased Matsai in a strange way, though he was as blank as ever. Looks like the brother might be a little protective of his sister. "Oh, I met her one day, and we kinda played around."
He made his statement casual, leaving out any details on purpose. Let him wonder, it would be good for him.
