The Boundless energy of a cub

[Kijana]

Date: May 29th

If Kijana could scamper out of the cave he totally would. Today was a day to explore the pride-lands something he rarely got a chance to do having spent most of his time in Agrabah with his mother and learning the basics of medical knowledge. The tan colored cub wheels his way down the smooth rock face towards the ground before stopping abruptly and turns to look up at the tip of the fabled pride rock. It was theirs now, this was their home. He let’s out a deep breath in awe before turning away and continues to the ground.

“Who wants to play?” Kijana announces to the other soldiers nearby, a few of the random pride lionesses lifted their heads to glance at him, amused at his overeagerness.

[Nil]

Being honest, Nil didn’t like humans. She also didn’t like fellow supernatural creatures who were up on a high horse. And you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting one of those in Agrabah. The obvious solution naturally was not be there. It seemed like their plot of land in Africa was the relegated place for the simple animals. Nil was not a simple animal, but her beast form could pass… vaguely.

She wasn’t a member of the pride, but she was inoffensive -- and handy to keep around for defense to boot. The huge thylacine was laying on a rock. One long limb dangled. The big almost human-like talon clutched a monkey skull and absently rolled it around. Her eyes had been staring out but screwed shut as a voice penetrated her webbed ears. Long snout wrinkled and her head slid off the rock pillow and flopped onto the flat dirt.

She didn’t like kids much.

“Hey there, Mrs. Nil!” Kijana spotted his fellow Black-blood solider and wheeled on over to her and stops some five feet away staring at her. “Do you want to play? I can’t find any of the other cubs so far and the adults are busy. My mama said, it’s important for cubs to play at a young age so they harness their hunting skills” he smiles at her before glancing back at the homemade wheelchair. “Can magic make me walk again?” He asked suddenly with a soft frown as if Nil would already say no as the answer. “I miss being able to walk” he says softy

[Amy Dearly]

Suddenly a Dalmatian walks nearby and hears voices. “ Hey there, who’s there.” She spotted a lion and she freaked out.

“ Woah there lion man. I’m a blackblood myself.” Amy said.

“ And who are you lady?”Amy said.

[Kijana]

Kijana turns sharply at the adult canine as it asks who he was then oddly freaked out with a raised brow the cub just stares at the spotted dog before she speaks again.

“Woah there lion man. I’m a blackblood myself.”

“Uh...yeah I know? I’ve seen you around the palace just never got around to meeting you. I’m Kijana” he introduced himself before pointing a paw at Nil

“That’s Mrs. Nil” he says with a smile “do you want to play with us-well me mostly?” He asked the dog

[Amy Dearly]

“ I’m always up to play, but when you say play what is it that you mean?” Amy said.

[Kijana]

“You...you don’t know how to play?” Golden eyes blink at the canine trying to figure out if he heard right. “You uh...con-contradicted yourself” he wheels himself forward to Amy staring at her hard to see if she was joking or something. “But... ya know, like tag? Wrestling around?” My siblings used to do that with me before my accident.” He drops down almost like a dog in a play-bow pushing the thought aside and gives a sharp growl at Amy

[Nil]

        Nil opened her mouth to speak before she was suddenly interrupted.  Again, she squeezed her eyes shut.  A lion in Africa?; what a shocker.  But not the giant six-legged blue thylacine.  The fairy snorted quietly.

        After a moment of this she stood up, glanced at a stunted tree and jumped up into it.  The lanky beast laid down like a leopard with one of her talons dangling below.  She lifted her long face slightly to speak, answering the question that was asked of her before things got off track;

        “It can.  But it’ll come at a cost,” said Nil.

[Amy Dearly]

“ Wrestling sounds like fun, I have siblings myself dude.” Amy said.

” I have three siblings and so yeah. What is your favourite wrestling move?” Amy said.

[Kijana]

“It can.  But it’ll come at a cost,”

“For real? What’s the cost though?” Kijana didn’t really like the sound of that but he was just as interested at hearing her answer. He turned back to the canine as she speaks up again.

“I used to be the wrestling champ before my accident. As for moves? Well, I go for the ears mostly” he gives a shrug of his shoulders before suddenly leaping forward aiming a swipe of him paw at the dog giving another cubby like growl of play. He leaps up the front half of the cub draped over the canine’s back gently tugging at her soft ears.
