Scout playfully growled at Sakura. He uses his hind legs too playfully kick her off him. And playfully tackle her again pinning her down again. "Got ya" He cheered victoriously.

Kala smiled as Dash cuddled closer to her. "I'm not an angel" Kala giggled. "I can be yours if you like" she smirked giggly softly again.

Sakura raised her eyebrow at Scout as he growled and as he plafully kicked her down she used her hind paw to trip him up "you were saying" she smirked teasingly.

Sakura tilted her head at the new lion. She could see he was hurt therefore he wouldn't be a threat. "Are you ok Mr." she smiled slightly still keeping her cool.

Kala was hiding behind Dash and poped her head from behind him "I'm Kala who are you" she said friendly with a big smile on her face

Tando gave Kala a smile ''The name is Tandolorian ms., but you can call me Tando''.

He noticed Sakura, sat still a little and looked at her but then came back to the real world ''Er.. Must be the dehydration'' Tando said and rubbed his chin with his paw.
''I better get these wounds cleaned, wouldn't like to get an infection''

"My name's Scout and this is my brother Dash" Scout said motioning too the lion who was standing in front of Kala. "We could take you too the water hole really quick. And don't worry I may not be a doctor but those wounds don't look very deep. You clean them up you'll feel better in no time" Scout said.

Sakura noticed Tando look her way and her cool act dropped for a second before she slouched back into cool.

Kala looked at Scout and then smiled at Dash before looking towards Tando. Kala giggled "You don't have to call me Ms" she said giggling again. "I'm Kala" she smiled with a big smile.

Sakura approached the lion. "Alright I'm Sakura" she said coolely feeling by the sense and reaction of the cubs that he was no danger.

Tando laughed a little as he started cleaning one of his wounds, apparently it wasn't as bad as he had thought.
''Hi Sakura and not ms, but Kala'' he said smiling brightly.

''If you don't mind I ask Sakura, and you other guys, but aren't there alot of adults watching over you?'' Tando asked and froze a little of the thought of someone would suddenly jump out and attack him.

''Well, I hope at least they are as concerned as that guy'' Tando said pointing at Kago.

"He's like Scout's Daddy" Kala smiled before pausing and giggling softly to herself again. "I changed my mind It's Ms Kala to you" she chuckled with a slight smirk.
"There all pretty nice round here just have to be careful now and again" she told him truthfully.
Sakura smirked at Tando (like she did alot of the time) "You think we NEED looking after?" she asked. It may of come across as a little cocky but that was just her attitude.

Tando giggled lightly at Sakura. ''Well, you never know when a wounded lion comes around followed by scourges of hyenas.. Well, I got them off my tail, but it could have gone that far'' Tando said as he once again got some water in his wounds.

''Alright ms. Kala it is'' Tando said and bowed his head to lay weight on his ''joke''.

Neola finally reached the savannah, where she?s never been to before. The high golden grass, the blinding sun and the loud chirp of the crickets were completely new things for her, who spent her whole life in the nearby jungle.
Suddenly she caught sight of a few lions, including cubs, standing around another lion, who seemed to be injured. The were talking and laughing but Neola couldn?t understand a word from that distance. She wanted to ask for help but when she nearly reached the lions, she didn?t know what to say or how to explain things and so she turned around to find a sanctuary on her own.

Tando suddenly sensed someone near, he could smell something.. or someone. Apparently, the others hadn't caught the scent of.. Hmm.. Another lion.

''I will be right back'' Tando said and stood up, still humping a little on his left paw he began to walk towards the scent he had caught.
''Hmmm.. anybody there?''

Neola had that starnge feeling that she was followed by someone, but she didn't dare to turn around until she heard a voice asking "Anybody there?".
She stopped and turned her head towards the lion who was standing behind her.
"What do you want?" she said aggressively but then lowed down her voice as she recognized that the lion was friendly.
"I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude" she said

Tando gave the lioness a smile, apparently this was a adolescent just as himself.
''No problem, no harm done. I was just wondering if you were spying on us or something... You know.. well nevermind, I'm Tando, and you?''
Tando said gently and bowed in front of the lioness.

Neola was relieved as Tando turned out to be quite nice.
"Spying on you?" she asked with a bright smile on her face
"Of course not! I'm new here you must know and...well, I was just..."Neola hesitated but then changed topic.
"Your name is Tando? I'm Neola", she said and noticed that Tando was humping.
"What's the matter with your paw?"

Tando pretended nothing was wrong, still the pain was killing him as he tried to walk normally. ''Nothing, I'm fine.., do you wanna meet the others?'' Tando asked friendly, he loved meeting new friends, and this one could indeed turn out being a special one.

''And god was she pretty'' Tando thought for himself as he looked at Neola.

"Are you sure nothing is wrong with your leg?" Neola asked as the noticed that Tando was trying to hide the pain.
Then she looked over to the other lions. They all seemed to be friendly.
"Hmm...is this your pride?"

Tando laughed lightly
''Nope, they are just some new friends I found, I think they would *groan*, surely let you join us... god''

Tando gasped and collapsed on the ground, the pain was too much.

"Tando? What's the matter with you?"she asked
"Tando?"
Neola joggled him with her paw but he didn't react
"Please...say something.Anything."
She desperately looked at the lion lying on the ground. He was still breathing, but deep and slowly.
"Hey!" Neola shouted to the group of lions who didn't seem to notice what was going on.
"I need your help...Come over here!"

Tando groaned as he was long gone in a world of darkness in his mind, flashbacks overwhelmed him.. Fire.. A big fire.. His brother...

Tando's eyes sprung open and he suddenly had lost the pain in his foot.. But how? The wound was still there, he couldn't really feel the pain anymore. Something was wrong.

''I... I'm fine..'' Tando said and stood up as his eyes began to look even more dizzy and blurred.

Neola was glad and relieved that Tando woke up again
"No, you're not fine! I'm not blind...I know something must be wrong" she said.
"You better get a rest in the shadow." Neola said and lead Tando over to a nearby tree.
"And now tell me what has happened to you. I've never seen a lion exhausted like that in my entire life."

Tando breathed heavily.
''Hyenas... I was fighting a hyena, but suddenly a whole horde of them began chasing and attacking me.. Luckily I got them off my tail, don't worry. I'll be fine''
Tando said and smiled at Neola, what a caring and concerned lioness.
''Where are the others?''

Neola took a short look-around but she couldn't see the other lions anymore
"I don't know." she said
"Either they are gone or we walked that far...hmm...You still didn't acquaint me with them" Neola said smiling
