Stream shore [Jump in!]

[Kikao]

Kikao leaped off of the steep incline of dirt and onto the wet sandy shore of the creek. It wasn't a tiny creek, by any means- the water was wide as lion was long, but relatively shallow. A trail of tiny pawprints trailed behind the adolescent liger, as she charged forward with a splash. There was a flicker of silver fins as fish retreated in all directions, scattering away and leaping forward. One launched itself into her shoulder, and another hit her squarely in the cheek. The cat scrambled, flailing with claws and nipping at empty air until the last fish had all but fled. A frog she had startled had bounced upward and perched itself on her head. "Crrrroakkk..." She snarled at the little green thing and pawed it off, as the frog tumbled into the water with a little plunk. Kikao huffed, dragging a limp and sopping tail behind her as she dragged herself to shore and then up an umbrella acacia tree nearby. She flicked some water off of her tail and licked her clammy paws, watching with slanted sea-green eyes as one-by-one, the fish returned, obviously unconcerned with her presence. Kikao scoffed. "Stupid fish." She frowned intensely. She turned her attention to her reflection at the stream's edge.

A white lioness with red paws walks up the the creek and leans down to get her fill on the fresh cool water. Chloe has been traveling for some time now looking for a new home. Her stomach growls as she sees the fish and decides to try her paw at getting some dinner. She stands by the edge of the creek waiting for her chance to pounce. She looks up and sees a liger laying by the creek all wet.

[Ruby_Fehu]

A russet hybrid padded along, her sleek russet fur matted with dust, the dark spots on her flank, camouflaged by the mud. Her tail was dragging along the ground and the female had a drag to her step as she padded towards the distant water, her tongue lolling out as she went. Her red eyes drooping a little. She was hoping that Chase and Iris were alright, she'd got separated a few nights ago, she did know that the father and daughter were together. She had been the one who had gotten separated from her small family.

After what felt like forever she reached the lake and slumped down, starting to take greedy gulps and letting the liquid trickling down her throat, after drinking her fill Ruby sat up and began scanning the area. She could see a liger on the other side and decided to remain where she was for a little while to observe whether or not she was safe around this other feline or whether she should continue to move forward quickly.

[Accalia]

Li'nathe continues running beside the water, trying to keep up with a particular fish, his still developing mane billowing in the wind. His eyes are so fixed on the fish that he doesn't notice the tree in front of him until he crashes into it, letting out a small yelp. He groans and sits, looking up to find a lion, no liger perched within it and he rubs his head "Uh, Hello?" he asks wearily, he had never seen a liger in a tree, in fact he had never seen a liger. He looked to the stream only to find another two lions there, he starred at them a while before snapping out of his amazement at how many lions there were in one place and said "Hello to you two too I guess?!" He looked from lioness to lioness to liger and sighed rubbing his head again, wondering if he was in some strange dream. Li'nathe didn't move from his spot, quite content that these lions didn't pose any threat to him or each other. He simply sat there his mane wind blown and especially unruly.

[Kikao]

Kikao smiled at Chloe spitefully, the adolescent looking quite confident. "You're not going to catch one." She gasps as suddenly something collides with her tree- the smallish liger slips, her claws the only thing keeping her to the branch. She kicks and struggles,trying to get back up when a little crack was heard. Kikao's eyes went wide. Another snap- the whole branch was coming down. She was only vaguely aware of the red-eyed hybrid- her focus turned to the lion that looked about her age. Her face contorted to shock and anger, and right about when she was going to say something hateful, came the final snicker-snack. The branch snapped, and the young hybrid hit the water with a shuddering splash. Something familiar and green perched upon her head again."Crrrroakkk..." And again, she swiped it off, but with more force. The frog would fly in the russet hybrid's direction, as a very soaked and upset liger sauntered up to the adolescent lion, not saying anything, eyes narrowed down to slits.

[Accalia]

Li'nathe watched sniggering as the liger dangled helplessly from her branch until it finally gave way, her face hot and angry as she landed in the water and as the small frog landed on her head Li'nathe couldn't contain himself any longer and let his laughter erupt from his stomach. Li'nathe woundered why she was so annoyed by him, *At least I didn't shake it and it was an accident...* He thought helplessly as the hybrid continued to walk closer, not a word passing her lips, just anger on her face. It would have been wise if he hadn't laughed at all, or had atleast stopped laughing sooner, because he died it down to a giggle as the liger walked towards him, her eyes bare slits. He should have run, but he was feeling daring and so stuck it out, staying put and confident.

[For Her]

"Rather odd," Kisasi thought to himself "There is a large commotion by the stream."
As he approached (hidden in the grass) he saw four felines of different species. He simply sat there, and watched them.

(I'll break ya'll up if you start fighting, being the largest male around.)

[Ruby_Fehu]

Ruby glanced upwards when she heard a few growls and saw the liger round on the lioness and a male she hadn't seen before. She padded closer towards them warily, close enough to step in if anything happened but far enough not to get completely thrown into the middle. Her expression became one of concern as she watched them closely and silently thank the heavens her daughter wasn't around to witness a potential fight.

[chloe]

Chloe hears a big splash and sees the fish scatter. She growls deeply 'Whoever just jumped in the creek is going to pay for ruining my dinner.' she this to herself looking up to see the liver once again in the creek, she giggles a little at the sight of the frog on her and her anger was gone. She gets up and walks towards the lion and liger hoping to make new friends and maybe if she is lucky they can spare a few scraps of food. She hasn't eaten in a few days and her figure showed it.

[Kikao]

Kikao grimace suddenly turned into a sly smile, as she got very close to the male adolescent before shaking her pelt dry. Water would fly in all directions, as she grinned, baring her pretty little ivory fangs. Her fur fluffed up dramatically, some of it flopping forward into her eyes. "Who are you?" she asked- it wasn't until her fur flattened back down that she was able to see the older cats all around her. Her big green looked around at them, as she shook off some wet sand from her paws. Her smile had faded into pursed lips, full of concern. She wanted to ask what they wanted, or what they were looking at- but her voice died somewhere inside her chest. A little bit of fear rose up in her throat instead, and out came a little, quiet squeak instead of words.

[Accalia]

Li'nathe watched unconcerned as the liger came closer, and giggled as the water flew from her into his face and into his gaping mouth. "I am Li'nathe, and who are you?! Who are all of you?!" he asked, his face unconcerned and neither was his mind, even though there was a now even larger lion then himself within them all, but he was far away, and only the top of his large figure could be seen. He didn't sense any intense friction between any of them, so he just smiled widely at the liger, his white fangs sparkling in the sunlight.

He took all of the felines around the creek in with his large eyes, seeing the most friendly one, and relaxed one as a white lioness with red paws and he smiled widely at her, to make sure she knew he wasn't going to hurt anyone. His mane flops in front of his eyes and he tries to blow the strands of brown mane out of his face, but he soon gives up giggling.

[For Her]

Kisasi looked down to his feet noticing a small pool of blood forming. Realizing he was running out of time, he stood up. He climbed down the slope towards the water. "As much as i enjoyed watching you fool around, i have to stop you." he proclaimed loudly, for all to hear. "I am in dire need of help."

[Kikao]

Kikao's iris's shrunk as she watched a bleeding lion descent down the creek slope. She blinked- the fear was gone now- only shock and surprise remained written on her face. She stared at him curiously, watching blood drip from his body. She blinked. She couldn't help him- didn't really know how. She knew to press on a wound to stop it from bleeding- and that was about the extent of her knowledge. She padded a bit closer to him. "Where are you hurt?" She asked, her ears flicked downwards. Even now, her caution when it comes to adult lions would prevail- wounded or not.

[For Her]

"Inside. It's hard to tell where, since i have no feeling in my left leg. My broken leg must have cut open something. I'm bleeding through my claw-slits. I might be bleeding out. I can't tell."

[Accalia]

Li'nathe looked at the older lion and became quite hesitant, he didn't much like older lions, but figured that they were just like him once and so relaxed a bit more. He sighed and said I am no help to you in medical ways, but if you know what you need and can go get it?" he heaved, noticing the ligers distress with the ordeal. He also wanted an excuse to have a long run too though. He looked into the larger lions eyes and didn't see any unkindness, only the need for help, and so was willing to give it to him.

*Why, how did this lion find us though?* he thought aimlessly, knowing he wouldn't be answered! but he thought about possible answers anyways.

[chloe]

Chloe was a little hesitant to go over to the other lions, she has always been nervous when it came to new people, but when she saw one of them was hurt she walked up to them.

"Hello." She said looking around nervously, "Any way I can help you? I don't know much about cuts and stuff, but I'm willing to help."

[For Her]

"Hmmm... I'm going to need somebody with medical knowledge. Sometimes Baboons can help. Or somebody with a gift for healing." Kisasi chuckled embarrassed, he had completely forgot his manners. "I'm Kisasi, by the way."

[Accalia]

Li'nathe hessitantly spoke up, giving the lion his name "I'm Li'nathe, nice to meet you." his voice was strong and firm, not what he expected to come out, but he was happy with it none the less. He stepped back, awaiting others to approach the lion further, his hesitation slowly disappearing
