"Rashus out on watch, y'know, making sure nothing eeeebil comes outta the outlands..." Merra laughed.
(Eek! I'm so late! Sorry guys :-/)
Taka rose his head at nearly noon, and stretched. His limbs were sore, but he shrugged that off. Standing up, he saw that all of the other cubs were already up, apparently waiting for them. He plodded over, dizzily choosing his steps.
"Mornin' Taka" Merra winked at him.
Mteuzi grinned at the sight of another friend.
"Hey Taka, what took you so long?" She asked him, padding over to where his groggy steps had taken him so far.
Taka looked up at the excited cubs, and shrugged. "I was up most of the night" he explained, and sat a few feet from them.
"Ooh, what were you doing then?" Merra laughed, nudging Mtuezi.
Taka glared at Merra, knowing what she was getting at. "Spending time with my brother and dad, thank you very much" he said in an arrogant voice, wryly smiling at her.
Taugadi had noticed Taka approaching the group, and looking very groggy at that. She let out a cheerful, "hey, Taka," and trotted with the others over to him. She stood at Merra's side, simply listening to the conversation.
At Taka explaining what he did last night, Taugadi asked curiously, "was it another one of those talks you guys always have? You know, those Great Kings things?"
((*blockofwriters*X.x))
Taka sighed and said,"Yeah. Another one of those 'You're so amazing Mufasa! So strong, and brave! And...and-Oh, Taka. Yes. You're unique in your own special way.'" He mocked his father, deepening his voice at appropriate times.
"Poor Taka..." Merra made fun of him no longer, knowing the appropriate times for a laugh, and this was not one of them.
Taka shrugged, and said,"He's been doing it since the day I was born. I'm used to it now."
Mteuzi shook her head.
"Well its still not right" She muttered. Mufasa had to be strong and brave, he was groomed from birth. But Taka was naturally smart, and his parents took rather little notice of him, minus his mothers natural instinct to compliment her son.
Mteuzi twitched her ears, not wanting to venture into a conversation about Taka's parents, she decided now that she should change the subject.
"So how about we go and do a bit of exploring before breakfast?" She asked in a cheery voice, trying to lift her friends spirits.
Mala appeared suddenly at the group, her muzzle and claws coated with blood, a vicious look in her eyes. She glared at Taugadi standing so close to Taka then began to lick the blood clean off her muzzle, deliberately leaving it still on her claws. When she felt clean enough she moved over to Taka, sitting next to him silently. She had nothing to say on the subject of his parents or brother; she had a sense of hatred for Mufasa, but only because she had begun to care so deeply for Taka - not admitting it to anyone, of course - and she knew he was being overshadowed by his bigger brother.
Her only siblings were the hyenas that she had grown up with, and being a lioness she had a natural advantage over them, so she didn't know what it felt like to be overshadowed. Even Shenzi would go along with her at every turn, despite her high position in the motley group.
She looked sideways at Taka, drumming her claws on the ground as she waited for something to happen either to give her an excuse to go it alone or a chance to be close to Taka and especially Taugadi - she didn't like the way she'd been looking at him lately.
Mteuzi noticed a sleek lioness padding up to them. She'd known come to know the beige cub as 'Mala'. To be truthful, Mteuzi didn't like Mala. Her red glowing eyes scared her, and that vicious look she had after a hunt sent chills up her spine. Though she had tried to be friendly as possible, there was always something that wasn't right about Mala. She also noticed that she was very protective of Taka. Taugadi recently had a thing for Taka, and Mala would always send cold stares at her when she wasn't looking.
"Hey Mala, whats up?" She asked, trying to keep her cheerful tone.
Taka noticed Mala, and smirked to himself. The tan lioness was rather morbid, but he had to admit she was pretty. "Been hunting...?"
Taugadi had stayed silent the entirety of the conversation. She felt she had nothing to add to it, so didn't want to waster her breath. She did feel sorry for Taka, even if she had never really known what it was like to experience the favoritism of parents.
When Mala had arrived, Taugadi's nose wrinkled for a second. She never liked anything to do with hurt and death, especially blood. She wondered how on earth Mala could deal with the stuff all over her. It would make Taugadi feel nausiated. She still didn't say anything, words not coming to her at the moment((me neither.x_x))
Mala noticed the look Taugadi gave her and smirked, licking a bloodied claw slowly before turning her gaze to Mteuzi. She didn't respond for a moment, savoring the taste in her mouth, before she replaced the paw. Her voice had once been smooth but had grown to be a little harsher as she aged - most likely due to her parents and the majority of her friends being hyenas. She responded casually to her - she knew she could terrify the lioness with a simple gaze, but had no real reason to today. Taugadi was once again the object of her odium.
"Nothing."
Her answer was short and simple. She had no real reason to say much else to Mteuzi when she would be saying the rest of it to Taka. She turned a sly look to him, her voice a wickedly silky purr as she spoke to him.
"If you could call it that. There was a zebra that was injured or old - I don't know which - but there wasn't much of a hunt." She let it linger at that, smirking. "I would have saved some for you, but there wasn't much left after Shenzi and Ed found me." She carefully licked at another claw, looking down thoughtfully. It was more of her finding her adopted family, but that wasn't important and they didn't really need to know that.
Taka nodded, and said,"I'm starving now...thanks Mala". He looked from Taugadi to Mala, knowing that there was some tenseness between the two.

Name: Tekua (Means Fire in English)
Fur Color: Red
Eye Color: Blue
Age: Adolescent, (1 and a half years old)
Tail color: Burgande
Muzzle, Paw color: White
BackGround: Tekua As a child left his Pride, The Jamashi Pride, To come find a better suited place to live, as he hated everything about his homelands, and his parents. His life there bored him extremely and he wanted something exciting out of his cubhood, Not just sit around and watch adults carry on endless conversations that made no point. Then one day he stumbled upon the Pride Lands, He has no friends right now, He has just arrived at the Pride Lands by pure chance, And hopes to use this as his new haven, A place to call home.
Personality: He is very Couragous, Brave, And will take action if the cause arrives to do so, When it comes to meeting new friends and other creatures, he finds it a joy to befriend them immediatly if possible. He's very friendly also, and would never harm even a fly, Unless he was told to do so by someone superior to him. He is also bi-sexual, if theres a problem with that, we can change that xP... Just thought it would make it interesting oOoO..

((ooc: I just made this a new post since you posted ahead of it ^^! I'll go back and edit the post out of the character profiles xP so here it is! :D! Thanks for approving!))
Tekua looked on at the green grasses and tree's that swayed as the wind blew in the Pride Lands, as he stared on at the edge, still standing half way in The Outlands and Half his upper body in the Pride Lands. He wondered if he should step paw into the lands, or wait to see if someone came to ask permission before going in, If for one thing that he did learn from his parents, was that you should respect all elders, and Obey any rules that they had set there. And never cross into territory that you don't know for it could get you into serious trouble, But Tekua's Interest and curiousity was now at its peak and he could hardly contain himself to get inside this new land and explore, For he could see standing in the Savannah in some tall grasses a herd of Antelopes, and his stomach was growling hungrily, He licked his licks hungrily but stood still, Not wanting to approach or kill anything in these unknown lands to him, For it might be a rule not to kill at a certain time, Like his homelands, or that you should not kill and let the other Lions or Lioness kill, Or if there was a set number of groups who should do the killing at a certain time.
"Its so.. magnificent.." Tekua whispered lowly. the wind blew in his face and with it, The scent of the Antelopes that he could see and it made him drool, His stomach and his mind telling him to run forwards claws unsheathed and satisfy his ongoing lust for food. He lowered his head to stare down at his Snow white Paws, his muzzle was also the same color, and many a lions he met along his travels told him his fur reminded them of Fire, Because it was a dark red, Some even said it reminded them of Blood.
He shook his head left and right trying to get his mind off of the food, and the other animals that he could now see, Then he took his chance, He staked it all and set paw into the Pride Lands, and with each step that he took, He began to get more couragious (Sp?) and started in what was almost a face paced trot, admiring the beauty of the lands. He saw before him now, Far away from him, A blue glint, and what seemed to be an orb of light appearing off the surface, He knew what it was, and he ran faster towards the water that was before him, and soon he was standing next to it, staring down at his reflection at the water, and the many fish that lived inside the Watering hole. Then he thought of how bad it was to be a fish, For where ever they are born, They are trapped their forever, It was there home.. Yet also, Their Prison. They couldn't go anywhere else other than that one body of water, Unless they were born in the ocean, and not a small pond or lagoon like this one. He lowered his head to the surface of the water, and his breath against it's surface created ripples that were circular and they shot outwards scaring the fish to the other side of the water away from him. He slowly let his tongue touch the cool water and started lapping at its surface, Feeling the cool and refreshing liquid run down his throat and down into his stomach, It awakened his sore muscles and brought life to him almost instantaniosly (another SP?) a smile appeared upon his muzzle as he lifted his head from the body of water, having quinched his thirst just fine he noticed something that he had never seen before, a humongous mountain, Or thats what it seemed to be to him, But then upon further inspection he noticed it was just a huge pile of rocks that formed a home almost, It was reigning tall and it looked almost Proud as it stretched a while into the Pride Lands, and he thought this was what the Pride that lived far from the Outlands had been telling him about, Home to a great king, and magnificent Pride-Pride Rock.
He marveled at its figure for what seemed to be an eternity, He adverted his gaze from the Rock and onto where the Pride Lands still stretched out, His mind was still blown away by the vastness of the lands, This place was much bigger than any other Pride he had visited before, and it surpassed his own by far! He started to turn away from the Watering hole and started to walk back out into the Tall grasses, Wandering meanlessly as he went, Looking back left and right as he walked admiring the many creatures that lived here, and the plants that were here.. It would make.. The perfect place to call home.
Taka scented another male. Suprisingly, he didn't really care. Unlike his brother and father, he knew that the occasional lion would pass through.
Mteuzi lifted her nose up into the air. The scent of another male in the area met her nose. Worry crossed her mind but she decided to follow the smell in case it was some form of danger. She padded over to the front of Priderock to spot Rashu, but she looked out for a second to see a red lion at the base.
His bold red fur contrasted with his white muzzle and paws. He was about her age, and he didn't seem like a threat. Even if he intended harm, Rashu could take him down, she was sure.
Tekua continued looking on as he walked more and the Rock he had saw before came into full view, he stopped, Something was near. He raised his muzzle into the air, Scenting the air trying to catch a scent of an animal, Whether it be in front of him, or anywhere around him, Soon the scent of a Lioness caught his attention, She seemed to smell rather... Nice, Not a very sweet scent, That would mean she was young, but it was a scent kind of like his sister's almost, An Adolescent smell. He turned around in a 360 looking each way trying to find out where the scent was coming from, Then a thought came to his mind.
What if she has seen me.. That can't be good news.. Especially if its the queen's daughter or something.. What if I get in trouble.. Wait.. What am I talking about.. I don't care if I do.. I'll just go somewhere else Tekua thought to himself, A smirk now set on his muzzle. Then the wind blew to his right and with it carried the scent of the Lioness he was looking for, He turned in the direction that the wind was blowing, and it was now blowing straight at his face and he had to close his eyes, it was almost forcing his eyes shut so he squinted and through his half closed eyes, He spotted her, Not to far away from him stood a Lioness, Who's fur was that of a brownish color, Very shiney, It showed she liked to keep herself clean and that she groomed a lot. He could barely see the color of her eyes, but he made them out when the wind stopped blowing and he could open his eyes fully, Her eyes with Red, Like the color of his favorite thing- Blood.
He stood staring at the Lioness wondering whether or not to approach her, He had no doubts in mind, and could probably take on half of this Pride if he needed to, One on one that is.. If they were to ambush him.. You could call him out then and there. He just shrugged at the thought and started to padd forward to where the Lioness was standing in the grass, His Couragous side now showing, When he was close enough to her, He spoke so she could hear him, Not an ounce of fear could be found in his voice, and he spoke rather.. Dully.
"Hello there.... Do you live here?" He asked The Brown Lioness that was now not even five feet away from him. He plainly sat down on the grass, Swishing his tail behind him back and forth across the ground.
((ooc: I hope you realize that Mteuzi is sitting on the top of Pride rocks stairs, so I don't think Tekua could see her eyes))
Mteuzi looked as the stranger neared. Rogue was the first thing that came to mind, and she eyed him suspiciously as he sat down. At closer inspection to the dull expression on his face, the lion seemed like the kind who didn't care about much. Whether that was a good thing or not, Mteuzi wasn't sure of.
She then observed him as he spoke, and then opened her mouth to speak.
"What is it to you rogue? Why should you need to know?"
She stared into his blue eyes, before letting her red orbs float over to Rashu who was lying down on the promontory.
"Hey Ras, theres some lion down there. Little help please?" She asked him in a quieter voice so the Tekua couldn't hear here.
Taka's attention peaked when the adolescent walked right through his lands, and even dared to come up to Pride Rock. Normally he wouldn't care if Tekua had just walked along the borders, but this was too much. At first, he thought he might lunge at the male, but that wouldn't be the dignified thing to do. So instead, he walked over to him, head held proudly.
Mala wrinkled her nose at the male then stood and followed Taka. If he offered a threat she would be swift to jump him. Not to protect anyone, but simply to tear into him. Oh, she loved attacking males - she thoroughly enjoyed taking them down a notch in the social structure and shattering their egos.
(( Short post, I'm all written out. X.X ))
Taka noted that Mala was following him; this was good. She could easily rip apart a full grown male if it had been knocked down. Her well kept claws, and unnaturally sharp fangs was something that she was known for. She also had a ferocity that a rabid hyena would be proud of when the time called for it.
((ooc: are all these guys on Pride Rock? I need to know for the post I'm going to make, I'll edit this one if so ;)))
(Taka and Mala aren't. Mteuzi and Rashu are.)
((...and Miss Nobody ;)))
((ooc: Okay now I'm lost >_> Where are the characters ? Taka and Mala are somewhere that they can see Tekua, but Tekua can't see them right? But he could probably scent them or something, Rashu and Mteuzi are on Pride Rock, and who the heck is Miss Nobody ? o.O is that Merra? lol xP Sorry.. I'm just trying to get locations right so I don't make anyone mad >_> But not posting and doing ooc's is probably making you guys mad lol.. ))
((:lol: Poor KTL...))
((ooc: Lmao I'm serious :O!! Was that information correct or not? >_>!))
(Yeah. It was lol)
