xA rumbling out on the cove struck her ears. A storm across the water, too far from shore to bring water or wind to the pride's lands. But near enough to illuminate the dark night sky with a clasp of lightning dancing, weaving, down from cloud to ocean surface. Vysemala's soul rumbled a pleased growl and grumble to the tune of the ocean's storm way out the way as she sat upon the shore's salty sandy beach to watch earth's spectacle.

He was bored, not that his siblings were boring.. but Bright Eyes wanted something else to do other than wrestle and sleep.. Well, he supposed eating was fun! The golden child was skipping along through the sands, singing a song to himself as he went when he had escaped the den and his mothers watchful - err... sleepy eye. The boy was making his way to play in the water when the distant rumble and flashing lights caught his attention.

"Woohahahahhhhhh.." There was a sense of awe in his words as the child shuffled though the sand and stood next to the other female of the pride. "Wazzat over there?" The young prince - though he knew not what the title meant plunked his rather round derrier next to the female uncaring whether she wanted him around or not. She was a pride member.. right? It wasn't one of those 'strangers' that mum kept going on about.

@Vysemala

She in actuality didn't realize she had company coming her way until a voice from down around her knees and elbows caught her attention. Her ears twisted and she sat a little more upright. Glanced directly left, glanced directly right and found no one on either side of her. Huh. And then the voice again came from down and slowly her vision shifted and found little Kyon splooted right there next to her. "Heya kiddo." She greeted- already warned of the number of children around it was just a factor of time until one wormed their way closer to her. She did not seem to mind in the slightest. "It's a thunderstorm. You ever see the rain fall really hard and the wind try to tear the trees up? That plus the lights and CRASH is what's going on out there." She strongly emphasized the word crash, let it roll in her chest and come loudly out of her lips.

@Kyon - he's so cute

[OOC] I'm so bad at keeping up with Kyon threads D8 I'm SORRRYYYYY - Poke me on my OOC if I get behind again! XD <3



He shook his head at her question and stared out into the ocean where the thunderstorm was raging beyond the distance that would cause the pride any trouble - or so he hoped. Bright eyes shifted slightly when the distant rumble of thunder reached him and he tucked his legs beneath him. "Momma always put us to bed when it started to rain.. and when the sky got all growly.. she used to tell us that it was just the lion gods fightin' over dinner."

He didn't realize that for the 'worst' of the thunderstorms they had been through as young children, he had been either too young to notice, or he had been too well fed and had slept through it. The idea that the wind might try to take the trees had him shuffling a step closer to the adult female and looking up at her. "What happens if the wind steals all our trees?"


@Vysemala

xVysemala nodded along- responsible mother move. Hopefully @Kyon could find some enjoyment watching the storm out at sea, getting to view the lightning and feel the thunder in the ground. He got a little closer to her and Vysemala shuffled into a sitting position with a lifted arm, an invition to get closer to her and keep a little warmer if he wanted while they talked. Usually it just tosses them somewhere else... makes a mess of things. Her voice sounded thoughtful, giving some reasoning and thought to the child's question and impossible scenario of the wind actually stealing the trees way. Her lips pressed together and she blew a soft bit of breath though them, a toe tapping on the ground. Thinking. Processing. I guess we'd be okay. Probably go on as normal, find big rocks for shade to sleep in. Other animals need the trees more than us, birds, monkies. What do you think they'd do? Checkmate little child with impossible questions. Turn it around on you.x

He frowned, ears flicking against his skull as he thought about what she was saying. "Then we'd just eat 'em!" He'd never had 'monkey' before. "What's ...Moooonkeeee taste like?" The youth looked up at the lioness and waited for her answer. He didn't realize that she was trying to turn it around on him, but grinned anyway.. "Momma says there's lots of stuff to eat but I gotta wait till I'm bigger..." He didn't realize that it was simply because the pride as a group weren't able to hunt larger prey just yet - which is why he had to wait until he was bigger - but by god was he going to try!

@Vysemala

What did monkey taste like? In truth it was not something Vysemala could recall eating anytime in the recent past. They were a lot of work for not much meat. And stupid smart, threw things at you. Better off going for the dumb animals. Kinda stringy. She 'blehhed' a little bit with her tongue and then shrugged it off as she made up what monkey tasted like. And a little like bugs. Not my favorite but someday we'll get you to try it.

She lifted a paw to ruffle @Kyon's head fondly, most attention gone from the thunderstorm and focused on the young royal lion. We'll get you a taste of everything some day, but you gotta help me and your mom take it down okay?

The female promised him that they would find a lot of things to eat and she said that he just had to help them. Kyon grinned, his rear end wiggling as he scrambled to his feet and ran in a tight circle in the sand around the older female. The teenager was excited, and as long as the scary storm stayed out there he wouldn't have any issues! "Yea! I'd love to!" The golden child giggled, his lips twisting into a bright, fang bearing smile. "I'll help you and momma and be the STRONGEST!"

His happy excitement paused as he frowned, feet slowing and the child sitting in the sands, staring down at his paws. A far-a-way expression in his dual-toned eyes. "Maybe...i'll get big enough so Momma doesn't get hurt by bad lions again..." The flashes of crimson staining the sands and the way the blood ran down her hide rose in his memory and had his stomach churning uncomfortably.

@Vysemala

His laughter, the toothy smile, so cute. V smiled and nodded excitably along. The STRONGEST! Her voice echoed his emotion, her feelings soared upwards unknowning that they were quickly going to be torn back down. Kyon seemed to grow distant and V's brow lifted up in confusion, she hung her head down a bit and got herself right down at his level. Hurt? Vysemala's voice suddenly dropped, blue eyes wavered and flashed with a worry and a sudden burst of emotion. She didn't have the memories @Kyon was experiencing- her mind took to imaginging them on its own and V found that made her insides lurch with a pain followed by a fierce overwhelming feeling of protectiveness. I think you will get big enough- She reassured, reaching over to nudge him gently on the shoulder with her nose. And I'll back you up just incase. We'll make sure your Momma doesn't get hurt by them ever again together.
