Scout swims after him splashing him the whole time playfully.
Scout swims after him splashing him the whole time playfully.
"Ack!"
Kotanu swims back towards Scout and pushes him under again.
"Whatcha going to do now?" (Still playfully)
Little does Kotanu know that Scout had swam up behind him when he dunked him in.
He jumps onto his back playfully and sends them both crashing down into the water.
When Scout's head appeared out of water his mane was so wet it looked like a mohawk.
Kotanu eventually rises up and catches his breath.
"Nice trick"
"Karifu, hurry up and get in here!"
Scout: Yeah Karifu you're missing all the fun. He looks at his reflexion in the water and sees his mane he quickly fixes it.
Scout has a "I meant to do that" Expression on his face.
Scout: Hey Kotanu, wanna swim a few laps with me around the water?
Kotanu laughs at Scout and his antics.
"Why not?"
Scout: Just to make it a little more interesting ya wanna race a few laps or have I tired you out too much old man?
He says with a cocked eyebrow. Scout hopes that Kotanu knew he was only kidding.
(In a faux old-lion voice) "You're on, you little whipper-snapper!"
Titus watches the Scout and Kotanu go at it "This is going to be good"

(In a faux old-lion voice) "You're on, you little whipper-snapper!"
Scout: All right first one from this side to that side and back is the winner. Ready?
Before he could answer Scout takes a lead.
Scout: Too slow!
"Gaaa!"
Although it soon becomes obvious that Kotanu is much more adapted to swimming because of his age. He catches up to Scout within a few seconds. At this point it's head and head with about half the width to go.
Who will win?
Scout and Kotanu are both about 15 feet from the edge at this point.
Kotanu noticed that Scout is beginning to slow down and he wonders what he should do.
But just when it seems Scout was starting to lose energy.
He smiles over at Kotanu.
And let's out a sudden burst of energy. Almost too sudden.
He swims to the side and back.
Scout smiles.
Scout: Beat ya.
Scout: Did ya see me beat Kotanu Karifu? Well Kotanu what do you wanna play now?
((Sengalo's a bum. He's still at the water hole.XP))
Sengalo was broken out of his rather sickening and murderous thoughts when he suddenly heard commotion coming from closer to the water hole. Before he knew it, he had to try and dodge out of the way of a large splash of water, but barely made it. He ended up getting practically soaked. He stood to his feet, shaking his small mane. His muscles were taut as his eyes darted around, searching for the cause of the splash. His gaze led him to Scout and Kotanu, seeing as they were doing a race of some sort. Sengalo narrowed his eyes and shook himself again. Sengalo was such a typical cat. He couldn't stand water. He had a feeling he was already on bad terms with the pair of swimmers, so decided not to say anything. He simply shook whatever loose water was left and layed back down on the ground, grooming himself dry. He was pretty annoyed, but didn't show it. He kept himself fairly hidden in the grass by the way he was lying.
Scout stopped playing for a second he felt he was being stalked maybe watched. He thought it was only Sengalo. Scout didn't know what his problem was he wanted to make peace and be this guy's friends. After all they both had similiar childhoods. But what could he do? He tried to make peace with this lion and he just turned his back on him.
He understood that Sengalo liked to keep to himself but he wondered why? What could have been so horrible that he had to turn away from anyone who tried to be his friend?
He turns his attention back to Kotanu. Hoping he'd suggest a game to play.
Kotanu figured out that Scout was bored, so he suggested a game.
"I'm counting to ten starting now. Go hide..."
Scout loved Hide and Seek. He was considered great at it when he played it with his parents while they were still alive.
He runs off trying to find the perfect hiding place. He looks up and there was a lot of green leaves on the tree.
Scout: Whispering to self. Bingo!
He quickly and nimbly climbs up the tree and hides himself in the leaves near the top.
Subira lapped up some water, and to her suprise and disgust, found one of Scout's hairs in her mouth.
"PTOOEY!" Subira exclaimed, spitting out the hair.
She saw Kotanu against a tree, as he appeared to be counting.
"Hide and Seek?" She asked, noticing that Scout was missing.
