Robin moved like a machine, closer, and closer up beside a young antelope. Slowly, and slowly did he draw breath, has he ebbed on closer. All his concentration, his feeling, his very soul was absorbed into this single moment.
His heart remained a rhythm, as his mind bent, and the young gazelle leaned it's head down to graze; it's eyes away from the predator.
In half a second Robin had lurched from his position in the grass, off of all fours, and was lunging with maw ajar for the prey.

:die: lol

As he came down, he impacted it from behind and caught it's flank, only to be tumbled aside into the dirt and grass. With the killer instinct raging insid,e he rolled over and caught ballance, as the herd was already in a raging maddness for safety. Robin was a spark for speed, and now may be his chance. Thundering after the herd, his pads beat the earth below him, taking him faster and closer to his meal. His breath came out in huffs, as his nostrils flared and the dust rolled by. He was ebbing clsoer to the old and weak ones. They would have to do. His pads trembled like pillars smashing into stone, as he caught behind the old, and lunged for his meal, and their death. Catching the weak antelope by the hind quarters, Robin sank his teeth within and unsheathed his claws within the beasts hide, turning it over and dragging it down. Before the weak could regain it's footing, Robin caught it by thre throat, and brought it to it's death, as the fellow antelope galloped franticly away, leaving naught but clouds of dust.

Zandiki remained still even as the male near her questioned her. She could hear Kago but she just remained quiet, only twitching her tail from time to time. She slowly opened her eyes, looking up at the 'blinding' sunlight. She winced and closed her eyes, resting her head again with a low sigh. Apparently she was exausted, even if it was all trickery.

"Hey, are you ok, should i get help?" Kago wondered aloud as he tried to wake Zandiki up.

Zandiki remained 'unconcious' for all that anyone knew. She just laid there, slowly rolling over onto her back after perhaps two minutes passing. Bright orange eyes opened to look up at the stranger and having heard his questions. " I've traveled soooo far and I'm sooo hungry..." She said quietly, fighting back a devious little grin.

Scar's head bowed and a shuddering sigh escaped his body, but he didn't mourn long. Taugadi had been a good lioness, but she had died defending their son. And it was an honorable way to go in his own opinion.

The rage was quickly returned to his eyes, however, when Sengalo continued to say that the Outlanders wouldn't have cared and that he had been attacked by the hyenas. Those stupid, heartless brutes would get what was coming to them in time... If they hadn't already, that was. He stared sideways at Sengalo then off into the horizon, going silently over his position now.

His son was alive, but his mother was dead. Shakou was here, and Abadai's daughter was here - why, he wasn't too sure, but he had a feeling he knew why. Zira was alive and had commited treason by pushing aside his true son for another. Simba and Nala were both alive from what he knew... It wasn't a good situation to be in, but at least he had three allies.

He stood and began to walk to Shakou, to discuss with him the next course of action and hopefully get some good advice, when another thought struck him. He stopped in front of Sengalo, looking him in the eyes. He remained silent for long moments before he spoke quietly, almost ashamed of his words but not daring to show it. "What name did Taugadi give you, my son?"

"Well, I think we have some food, come with me." Kago said out of generosity. "And you had better be hungry, it looked like you were supressing a smile."

"Yeah... still, I think you lionesses are the better hunters." Simba smirks to Nala taking another bite out of the Zebra.

"Plenty for everyone. Feel free to take as much as you want." Simba smiles down to Scout.

''so much for saying king and queens are greedy eh simba'' she chuckled. ''Well I'll have to hunt for you again some time but we still have some food back at the den'' she smiled sweetly.

Twilight continued to eat away at the Zebra carcass as the others spoke.
His side hurt but it hadn't effected his appetite unlike last time and so continued to eat.

"To reward me and Twilight for what we brought you today?" Simba smiles to her and licks her nose, "You're a fantastic huntress." He takes another bite out of the Zebra but still leaves plenty for the others.

"Scout! Where are you?" Kago called out so he would come back to the den where he was headed.

Zandiki stood up, shaking herself of any dirt or dust she had gathered up on the way. She raised a brow at Kago's comment of her hiding a smile. When his back was turned, she let the smile out breifly before straightening her face into one of supposed pain and hunger. She panted lightly with each step. " Thank you very much for the offer of food..." She said as she had followed him.

"So what's your name?" Kago asked as he arrived back into the den with Zandiki

" Zandiki." She said, pale paws drawing her into the den as well. She raised a thin brow, looking about for a moment before offering a faint smile. " What lands are these? They're magnificent. Mr... Mr... Oh! What's your name?"

''yes, back at the den'' Nala winked at Simba. she smiled at Twilight as he continuned to eat ''at least it hasn't effected your appetite like last time'' she chuckled.
''Scout's over here Kago'' Nala called. Nala's ears pricked up and she turned round to Spot Zandiki. she wasn't sure if she was an outladnder or a pride lander ''who's your friend'' she asked Kago curiously.

"Yeah thats a good thing" Twilight said after swallowing another piece "Don't want to worry to much" he smiled slightly and rolled onto his back.
"I think I need some lioness attention maybe I'll feel a little better" he smiled.

"Yeah.... just watch yourself next time." Simba smirks over to Twilight, "...but mistakes can be made." He chuckles once more and eats another piece of Zebra.

"Lioness attention eh?" Simba smirks, "...good idea." He grins.

Zandiki noticed the lioness calling out to the male who'd helped her in. She turned around, offering a light bow and a smile, boy she could be a suck up sometimes. " My name's Zandiki. I'm new here and I haven't eaten for days.. I passed out on my way inland earlier and this gentleman saved me and brought me here." She said, tail swaying behind her slender, near adult form.
