[IC] Lion King: New generation (Dead)

@Ryouko

Nikko smiled and mirrored his movements. He learned better from watching someone else do it. Artemis looked up above the grass trying to see where they went to. "Here Kalina, help me find them." She said leaning down so Kalina could climb up on her shoulders. She sat there as still as she could. "I can't see them yet Mama but they should be close." She said squinting to see if she could find them in the tall grass as Artemis walked slowly to try to walk as quietly as she could.

@DeadlyPhoenix

As he stalked through the grass with the young lion, he balanced his weight with each footfall, silently instructing Nikko to do the same. At the same time, he was listening to the sounds around him, making sure they weren't close. They being Artemis and Kalina, of course.

Juma's face lit up an idea popped up in her head. "Let's try playing a game we can all enjoy." She advised as she looked at Wanga. "Maybe hide and seek? It would be good practice for lions our age." She then looked at Phospho, not sure what teen lions enjoyed. "What kind of game do you like, Phospho?"

Wanga smiled at this. "Hide and seek sounds fun." She sat up and licked one of her paws before looking at the teen lion, wondering what his response would be.

[Blueflame]

@Letmehaveone2 "that sounds like fun" phospho said getting up. "So who will be it first?"

[DeadlyPhoenix]

@Ryouko

Nikko looked around watching Cyren, keeping as quiet as he possibly could. Artemis wondered if they were getting close. She walked as silently as she could with Kalina looking around. "I think they are up ahead mama." Kalina said and Artemis tried to get a little closer.

@DeadlyPhoenix

Cyren then paused, before he leapt through the grass at both the mother and daughter, his grin wide as he moved to push them slightly with his head before hiding back in the grass.

@Blueflame

Juma smiled playfully. "Not me!" She knew she would be too slow for them. She then looked at Wanga to see what she decided.

"I'll be it!" Wanga said as she went to a tree and turned to face it. She closed her eyes and began to count. "...1....2...3..." She was planning to use her scent, but she decided to keep that to herself.

Juma ran over to a log and decided to use that as her hiding spot. She crawled under it and went to the middle of it.

@Ryouko

Artemis laughed as Nikko and Cyren pounced on them then headed back into the grass. Nikko was doing all he can not to laugh to give away their position. "Wow you guys are really good at this." She said jokingly as Kalina crouched down and managed to pounce on Nikko before he could get too far away pinning him to the ground. "Mama I got bubba." She said jokingly as Nikko managed to get out from underneath her.

[Blueflame]

@Letmehaveone2phospho smiled as he ran up a near by tree and hid. He was down wind from her.

[Ryouko]

@DeadlyPhoenix

Cyren chuckled, coming out of the grass slowly as he looked at Artemis. "Why hello. ..Now how about we go ahead and get washed up?"

[DeadlyPhoenix]

@Ryouko

Artemis laughed when Cyren came out of the grass, Nikko followed behind them. "Yes lets go clean up and finish the den. They we can have practice." She said smiling at Nikko as he laughed. Artemis headed back to the stream to clean off with Kalina following her smiling.

[Ryouko]

@DeadlyPhoenix

"Come along Nikko." Cyren said, blowing his muddy hair out of his eyes as he trailed behind Artemis and Kalina.

[DeadlyPhoenix]

@Ryouko

Nikko hopped out and pushed Cyren laughing. "Got you." He said before running to catch up with Artemis and Kalina. Before long they made it back to the water. Artemis walked in to rinse off her pelt followed by her two cubs. "Ahh. The water feels so nice." She said smiling.

[Letmehaveone2]

@Blueflame
After a few moments of counting, Wanga opened her eyes and turned around. "Ready or not, here I come!" She shouted as she began searching around using her nose.

Shupavu had finished Gumu's lesson for the day. "Alright, son. Time to head back." He turned to face the direction of Pride Rock and began walking, knowing his son would follow.

"Okay! Does that mean I get to play now when we get back?" Gumu asked hopefully. He wanted to play Nikko and Kalina some more.

"Yes. If they're not too busy at the moment." Shupavu returned to the rock and climbed up it before resuming his usual position on the point.

Zi decided to follow after them in the air, wondering if Kc would return.

[Ryouko]

@DeadlyPhoenix

Cyren then slowly slid into the water, near the exit stream, washing off his pelt. It shined in the sun, and he got out a minute later, shaking his pelt out. "Yes..yes it does."

[Blueflame]

@Letmehaveone2watching wanga phospho chuckled she would find him... unless she heard him laugh.'oops' phospho thought to himself.

@Mike the Bloodwolf@Letmehaveone2

Maisha walked over to her and stated what she decided her role should be. "Sounds good to me." Kisari also noticed Crimson decided to help carrying her kills back. Well at least she didn't have to go back for the other one now.

"Thanks," she told him on both helping her and complimenting her. He also mentioned that he looked forward to working with her. "Look forward to working with you as well."

[Letmehaveone2]

@Blueflame

Wanga's ears perked up at the laugh and went in that direction, her nose bringing her to a tree. She then looked up to see if she could spot him.

Juma was still hidden in the log, waiting for Wanga to come find her eventually. She was also doing her best to keep as quiet as possible until a tiny giggle escaped her muzzle.

@Ninkitty @Mike the Bloodwolf

Maisha smiled at this. "It settled then, welcome aboard." She then turned to Crimson as he was gonna talk to him now. She wasn't sure how he good he was with training cubs, especially Roho, but only one way to find out. "I wanna train the cubs and wanted to know if you're up the task." She was gonna give him Roho if he approved. She just hoped he could handle the little guy. She didn't worry about Malaika as she herself was gonna train that one.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Crimson did not answer her at first as he was busy helping but once both kills were in storage though he did say to Kisari that since they were her kills she would get first bite.
He the looked at Maisha and though about before he said "I can train him if you like,but all my training came from the darklands so I've probably learned tricks and things that you may not want him to know. Though I did learn a lot of survival skills while I was on my own that I could teach him"

[DeadlyPhoenix]

@Ryouko

Artemis followed Cyren out of the water as the cubs still washed themselves off and cooled themselves down from the hot sun. "You know, if I did not know any better, I would say you have raised cubs before." She said teasingly and brushing up against his shoulder playfully.
