"..The feeling is..mutual." He looked down shyly, smiling softly as he looked back up at her before he spoke again. "I haven't..talked this much..in years."

@DeadlyPhoenix
It took him a bit, but Gumu finally caught up to her and pawed her shoulder. "Tag you're it!" He laughed as he playfully ran away from her.

@Ninkitty
Maisha decided to start off with where she hunts and walked in that direction, hoping she was following. Good thing she had Olivia on cub duty knowing how her cubs could be sometimes, especially Roho.

((ignore))

@Letmehaveone2
Kisari followed Maisha to where she usually hunts.

@Ryouko@Letmehaveone2

Kalina laughed as Gumu tagged her and she chased off after her brother laughing. "I'm going to get you Nikko!" She said as Nikko ran even faster as they both chased each other.

Artemis smiled as he said that making her almost blush even more. 'I haven't either. I really became closed off when I left my old pride." She said brushing against him softly.

@DeadlyPhoenix

Cyren smiled softly as she brushed against him, his heart beating just a bit faster. He brushed back against her, chuckling softly. "That's a shame..you need to..talk."

@Ninkitty
When she arrived at a place with tall grass and plenty of bushes for cover. "This is where all the prey will be." She stated as she looked at a few zebras in one area, gazelles in another and so on. "I wanna be able to hunt some big games someday." She turned her attention to Kisari to see what she thought about the place.

@DeadlyPhoenix
Gumu slowed down a bit, seeming to tire, but wasn't willing to stop yet. He ran alongside Nikko as the game went on.

---

Deon came across the outlands, but didn't actually enter. He wasn't one to join prides, he was more of a loner and he preferred it that way. Besides this one seemed barren, barely anything of interest to him here. He decided to move away from the place.

((Let my post appear please.
There XD))

@Letmehaveone2
Kisari out of more habit than anything made sure she stayed hidden from all the gazelle and zebra. She looked around. It looked like there was plenty of prey here. But yeah. She had to agree. Something bigger would most likely be good someday.

"Well there does seem to be plenty here. Big games someday would probably be good too."

@Ryouko@Letmehaveone2

Artemis smiled as he said that. "As do you. The more you talk the easier it gets." She said teasingly as she giggled. She hoped he knew she only picked on him to be silly and not mean. She would not want to give him the wrong idea.

Kalina was close on their trail keeping up with them with very little problems at all. She got right up to Nikko and tagged him before making a sharp left turn to get away in time. "Your it!!" She yelled as she ran laughing. She was getting a little tired but this was too fun to stop now. She finally felt like she fit in.

@DeadlyPhoenix

Cyren frowned playfully at her, before he looked ahead, mouth closed. Not talking, to mess with her. He wanted to see how she would react to this. Though, the smile on his face gave away he wasn't mad at Artemis..at all.

@Ryouko

Artemis first saw him frowning but she could not help but laugh when she saw him smiling underneath the frown. "You almost had me there." She said laughing as she playfully pushed him with her paw laughing.

The Outlands Lions
Veeaaier picked up the cub, and carried her to a cave. It was dark, and had a couple twists and turns, but soon there was a light. When they went through, there was a whole load of lions there, few females. All the lions stared at the two, growling, some licking their lips. Veeaaier growled at those who dared attempt to attack.

The Scavangers
Asikari saw a bird, and crept towards it. She then raised her paw, and swept at it, trying to grab it...

Outlands Reporters
Kc smelt something. It smelled familar. It smelled like.. Dog. Her ears perked up. It was a hyena. She looked around. She saw no sign of one. That means it must be here friend from when she was in the Outlands. Asikari. She looked around, but still saw no one. She then decided to follow the sent. She was led towards a hyena, Asikari. Kc growled.
"HYENA!!!" She yelled to everyone.
@Letmehaveone2@Ryouko

@DeadlyPhoenix

Cyren laughed softly before he pushed her side playfully with his head. "Almost. I'll get you one of these days." the blonde lion said.

@Ninkitty
Maisha then turned to show where she slept and a few other dens that weren't hers. She led the way to her own den first. "So that was the hunting ground and this is my den, but there are empty ones around and near mine." She looked at Kisari. "Good place if you ever need a rest."

Roho really wanted to explore beyond the Eastern border, but first he would have to find a way to get rid of the big bird(XD) over there. He went over to his sister and whispered something in her ear.

Malaika listened and immediately shook her head. "You know we're not allowed to cross THAT waterhole." She whispered back.

"Oh, come on, It'll be fine." Roho wanted to explore, but not alone. "Why you gotta be such a party pooper?" He sat down waiting for his sister to give in.

@DeadlyPhoenix
Gumu didn't know how long this game would last, but he was enjoying every moment of it. He used to play by himself, but now that he had other cubs to play with, that didn't matter anymore. He was having the time of his life and it was definitely better than playing with butterflies or other insects.

@Aqua Fire
Zi flew out of the way when the hyena tried to catch her. She already has a great start. Spotting danger. She then turned her attention to the hyena then to Kc. "Let's go warn the king." She flew off to where she knew Shupavu would be.

Shupavu had finally gotten off the rock and was about to patrol his side of the border. That's when he saw his adviser flying in who looked frantic. "What is it, Zi?"

"Sire, there's a hyena in the pridelands!" Zi exclaimed to her king.

"Get the cubs to safety. I'll see what he or she wants." Shupavu took off towards the direction of where the hyena might be.

@Letmehaveone2
Kisari followed her to the dens. She saw where Maisha's den was and how many empty ones there were. Eventually, she may have to choose one for herself. "Looks like it. I might choose one near yours."

@Ryouko@Letmehaveone2

Nikko tried to chase after Gumu but she could start to feel low on stamina. He knew he would not be able to keep up much longer. He tried to reach her paw out to touch his shoulder hoping he made it.

Artemis could see her cubs starting to slow down. "See, they are getting tired already." She said laughing as she looked back over to Cyren rubbing her head on his side softly once too. She was happy to have met him. He gave her more of a reason to keep going on just like her cubs.

@DeadlyPhoenix @Letmehaveone2 @Aqua Fire

Cyren's emerald green eyes snapped to attention as he looked at Artemis. "I'll be back." The Lion grunted, before he bounded towards where the call had been sounded. He saw his leader, Shupavu, and skidded into a sprint beside him. He had half hoped Artemis had heard the call too, so that it wouldn't seem like he had ran off and left her..he was doing his job. Hopefully, if not, he could explain later.

'A Hyena? Here?' Cyren thought silently, as he growled, a fierce noise rumbling up from the back of his throat.

@Ryouko@Letmehaveone2@Aqua Fire

When Cyren headed to the king she knew something was wrong. "Cubs...Come here. Nikko and Kalina that means you!" Artemis called out and ran towards them. "Its not safe come back." She said as Nikko and Kalina started heading to her immediately. "Gumu come with us." Nikko said wanting him to be safe too. He was the prince basically.
