Silent Night

[Kirsui]

((OOC: Hi guys! x3 I thought I'd make a small freestyle RP to get better aquinted with my characters and to learn to write them together. Everyone is free to jump in, and you can use your fantasy characters.

I'll start out with Kirsui and Finja. Finja doesn't have a profile here yet as I'm still contemplatin on whether or not she'd be any good in RP situations. You can see her powers by clicking the spoiler below:

SPOILER: Click to show

Psychic: She is able to move objects with her mind. The larger the object is, the harder she has to concentrate on moving it. She is often seen using small, sharp edged stones in battles to strike at her enemies. This ability has no effect on her herself though, and so she is unable to levitate or fly with this one.

Teleportation: She can teleport herself and the things she is carrying for short distances. She has to see where she is teleporting. If she would try to teleport through, lets say, a stonewall, there would be a huge risk of her ending up inside that wall instead to the other side of it. Teleporting to locations she can’t see is simply too dangerous and she dares not to try it out. She can also teleport up to one other person with her.

Agility: This ability is often seen when she battles. Agility speeds up her movements and reflexes, enabling her to land surprise strikes at her opponents from different directions. When she moves with this ability in use, she leaves these “after images” of herself, causing those who look at her movements often think she is still in the spot where she was a moment ago when in fact she’s already moving to another place. She sometimes uses agility and teleportation together to make tracking her location even harder. However, agility has a downside: the longer she uses it the faster she tires down.

Without further ado, lets get this thing rolling. xD))


It had rained earlier that day. The two lionesses that walked side by side through the damp grass had only moments ago left the relative shelter of a small cluster of trees. They had travelled by night for several days now, never looking back and only stopping when they required food or rest.

Unfortunately, the smaller of the two required rest very often.

Kirsui was leaning heavily on the taller lioness' side as the two walked through the grass lands with only starslight as their guide. She was slowing them down considerably, but her dark furred companion did not complain. She never did, especially not now when they had no other choice.

Kirsui flinched with a hiss when she carelessly stepped on a loose rock that rolled away from under her paw.

"We have to stop."

The pale lioness furiously shook her head at her companion's words. "We can't. I can walk a while longer."

The taller lioness narrowed her eyes. "Kirsui, you're injured! We've been walking for days now, you can't keep this up much longer."

Kirsui flattened her ears and stared at the ground in front of her. Finja was right. Her left hind leg was badly injured, and though the wound wasn't bleeding right now, she was far from healed. At the rate they were walking, she wondered if she ever would be. If only she could heal herself...

"I... you're right", the pale lioness finally admitted. "Lets rest for a while."

Finja nodded and watched as Kirsui carefully laid down on the damp grass. When she was certain that the smaller lioness was as comfortable as her injured leg allowed, she turned to scan their surroundings in case anyone would spot them here. It was dangerous for them to be so exposed, but they had little choice. At least, if anyone did find them, they wouldn't be taken by surprise. Finja would make sure of that.

(I'll play as Shetani). Read about her powers or don't. I'll try to keep them concealed from my text for surprise's sake (but you probably already know them:).

It was the middle of the night, and Shetani was helpless. She lay alone in the middle of a grassy field that seemed to go on forever, holding her stomach and groaning softly. "I'm sorry, stomach. I know I ate too much again. But we get stronger the bigger we are. And weaker too, I suppose..."
She kicked her legs, trying to lie on her side and make herself more comfortable, but even shifting from side-to-side was a laborious task at her current size. Her fat was everywhere, lying about in great big rolls. Beneath her eyes she could see her enormous cheeks, and her ears were nearly pushed closed by the roll of fat that was her neck. Beneath her paws was the bulge of her belly, which sat on the grass before her like a big hippo - an animal in its own right. Oh what strength this body gave her during the day! But at night, her short, chubby legs could barely hold her up. She was helpless.
"It's ok. It's ok," she told herself - well, her stomach. "In a few hours you'll be done, and then I'll let you res-" She stopped, for she'd heard foosteps. Wasana held her breath, her oversized heart pounding in her chest, and raise her head so the fat would roll back from her ears.
"We have to stop," a small voice said.
Shetani felt the blood rush from her face. They were coming right this way, by the sounds of things - she couldn't see over the grassy thicket she had put herself in. Pain in her stomach forgotten, she drew her legs in to draw herself up, rocking gently to place herself on her stomach, and heaved... but even then, all she managed to do was stand upright - her stomach was still pressed firmly against the ground, and she felt like she was straddling a zebra carcass - only it was her own belly. By the fathers above, she was big now.
"Kirsui, you're injured! We've been walking for days now, you can't keep this up much longer."
A quick turn of her head revealed the approaching lionesses in the moonlight... Shetani lowered herself down. One was injured. That was good - she probably wouldn't want to fight - but bad, for she'd feel threatened. She tried to stifle the gasping in her throat on the effort of standing, but her heartbeat still pounded in her ears.
"I... you're right. Lets rest for a while."
She heard them settling down... only a few feet downhill from her little thicket. Then they were silent. Ancestors, she had to get away. Perhaps she could slide away on her stomach. But wouldn't they see her then? She raised her head to gauge their final position, daring to poke her head over the long grass...
and saw the dark one looking right at her.
She froze... did they see her?

[Deleted]

(I'll join with Kulaani and Kaimu.)

They had been traveling since dawn, yet they continued their pace. The previous night, Kulaani had finally picked up a trail left by his parents killers and he intended to close the gap between them as quickly as possible. He only stopped a couple of times to catch some prey, but then continued on as soon as he finished. After searching for them for many years, he was not about to let them get away again.
"Kulaani, it's late and we've been traveling all day, we should stop for the night."
Kulaani glanced at his hyena companion that had kept pace with him the whole day. He had met Kaimu a while back and although he found the hyena annoying at the time, he ended up being the only creature he trusted and considered a friend. It didn't make him any less annoying though, but he was still glad to have him.
"We can stop in a bit, we're catching up."
"It won't matter if we have a late start tomorrow because we were up late." Kaimu pointed out. "Let's rest, we've got their trail now, we can catch them tomorrow."
Kulaani was about to protest, but he knew the hyena was right. He sighed and slowed his pace to a walk, looking around at his surroundings.
"Where should we rest at tonight?"
Kaimu looked up at him. "I don't know, I thought you were the smart one."
With the skull that Kaimu wore to cover his head, Kulaani couldn't tell by his expression if the hyena was be serious or just joking. He guessed it was the latter, since it was rare for Kaimu to throw an insult at him without reason. He shook his head and nodded in a direction.
"Let's just head that way and see if we can find a good spot."
"Shouldn't we make sure that we're not alone out here?" Kaimu asked.
"What else could be out here?" Kulaani responded.
"Lions." Kaimu answered.
Kulaani scoffed. "We haven't seen any other lions for months, I doubt we'll see one."
"I bet there's three." Kaimu stated flatly.
Kulaani looked at him. "Why would you bet that?"
"Because I picked up their scent shortly after we stopped." Kaimu replied.
Kulaani gave him a look. "You knew about them and you're just now telling me?"
Kaimu shrugged. "It wasn't relevant at the time."
Kulaani growled, now the hyena was becoming annoying again. "Just shut up and follow me."
Crouching low to the ground, Kulaani and Kaimu slowly move in the direction of the other lions.

[Kirsui]

Finja's ears flicked slowly as she kept listening for any sound that might alert her. The lack of moonlight made her slightly nervous, though she carefully hid it behind her usual mask of calm. She couldn't trust her eyesight as well as she would have liked, but at least anyone looking for them wouldn't notice them either.

The dark lioness glanced momentarily at her companion. Kirsui had laid her head on her front paws and had her eyes closed. Her breathing came in sharp gasps, no doubt caused by the fatigue her injured leg had caused her. She couldn't fathom what it must have felt like, for though she had fought before she had never been injured this severely.

Letting out a soft sigh, Finja turned her attention back to keeping watch, and froze. She could see... something peek out of the grass, something that she was certain had not been there before. Had she been alone she would have gone to investigate, but with her friend injured she couldn't do that.

"Kirsui", the dark lioness whispered softly. "I need light."

The smaller lioness opened her eyes and stared up at her companion. Was she insane? If she lighted up their surroundings now...

But as she examined the taller lioness for a moment longer, she understood. Finja had clearly spotted something, and she would never risk exposing them so boldly if she wasn't extremely worried that they had been discovered. And so, with a small sigh and a nod, Kirsui closed her eyes and focused. For a moment nothing happened, but when she opened her eyes again a small ball of blue flames appeared to hover high above the two lionesses. It didn't light much of the surroundings, and even less as it moved to hover higher above them.

Kirsui glanced at Finja, who nodded at her even though she was still staring at the figure in the grass that she had spotted a moment ago. The pale lioness turned her gaze up to the small bundle of blue flames. She smiled softly at the sight of it, such a beautiful and innocent looking ball of light it was, right until she made it explode. The ball of fire pulsed violently before exploding around them as a ring of fire that spread sideways on all directions. The flash of light lasted for only a few seconds and it quite effectively rendered one's nightvision momentarily useless until one's eyes would adjust to the darkness again.

But it was enough for Finja to see who was stalking them in the tall grass. It was an enormous lioness, one that Finja had never seen before. She blinked her eyes slowly, waiting for them to adjust to darkness once again. She was worried no longer, for the lioness she saw wasn't an imminent threat. In fact, she would be greatly surprised if the stranger would be able to make any sudden moves with the amount of weight she was carrying.

Still, it was polite to speak out, especially after the light show she had asked Kirsui to put up. "I know you're out there", Finja told the stranger with a slightly raised voice. "We pose no threat, and are merely passing by."

[Deleted]

Shetani had watched the blue light with fascination... right before it exploded. She let out a squeal of fear and shielded her eyes, but too late: spots were dancing before them, and when she opened them again she couldn't even see the stars.

"I know you're out there. We pose no threat, and are merely passing by."

Shetani held her breath, trying to decide what to do. She must have seen her, and if she remained silent, they might investigate closer, and find out just how vulnerable she really was. Oh what she would give for the dawn! Ancestors, can you bring the sun right now? But the ancestors were silent, so she said as confidently as she could in her normal form's squeaky voice, "Ah. Good to know! Myself as well. No threat, just passing by. Shetani's my name. Can I have the honour?" She wasn't normally so formal, but it didn't hurt to be polite when meeting strangers out on the plains.

[Kirsui]

Silence followed Finja's words, but the dark lioness wasn't all too surprised. Kirsui's fire sometimes had that effect on people, and they had lighted up the plains without warning. Finja risked a glance at her companion, who had once again rested her head on her paws upon seeing that Finja had relaxed her stance.

"Ah. Good to know! Myself as well. No threat, just passing by. Shetani's my name. Can I have the honour?"

Finja smiled faintly and turned her gaze back where Shetani's voice came from. She still couldn't see clearly, but she was beginning to pick up the larger lioness' form. If Finja was any good judge of character, which she usually was, she would have guessed that Shetani was slightly nervous. In an attempt to ease the large lioness' nerves, she chose a polite tone when she replied.

"Honour is all mine, Shetani", Finja said. "I am Finja, and my companion here is Kirsui. We would come and greet you properly, but my friend here is injured, and I dare not leave her side."

Kirsui scoffed at Finja's last words and opened her eyes just enough to glance up at her friend with an amused expression. Injured or not, she could still protect herself, but she was grateful of the taller lioness' support.

[Deleted]

Shetani allowed herself to sigh, gently. So far things seemed to be going well. She might just see the dawn. "I'm sorry to hear that," she said. "How were you hurt? I'd offer my services as a healer, but that's not one of my fortes."

She blinked. The stars were becoming visible again now, the blotches in her eyes turning from yellow, to pink, to blue. After taking a deep breath, she shuffled again, relaxed enough for the day's catch to become uncomfortable once more. Her back itched above her tail, but she knew she couldn't scratch it. Instead she rolled onto her back to rub it against the ground.
Only she rolled too far. The grass was wet and slippery, and she had rolled over the tufts of grass onto the steeper slope, upon which she slid. "Uh-oh." Though she scrambled for purchase it was a while before she could turn to dig her claws in, and when she finally managed to stop herself she found she was right next to the two strangers. "Uh, Finja, I presume?" She said to the dark shape. "And Kirsui. In the flesh." She smiled at them, but wasn't sure how much they saw in the darkness. "I'm terribly sorry about this..." she said, pausing think of an explanation but then thinking the better of it, and falling silent.

[Deleted]

As Kulaani and Kaimu cautiously move forward, a bright blue light appeared and they crouched even lower to the ground. Ahead of them were two lioness's, one who was staring off in a direction and the other was lying on the ground. Kulaani heard the dark furred lioness call out something, and when he followed her gaze he saw another lioness who had poked her head out of the tall grass.
"Looks like you were right, there are three." Kulaani whispered to the hyena.
"Told you, my nose never lies." Kaimu replied.
"I guess we should just circle around them and continue on." Kulaani decided.
Kaimu shook his head. "Hold on a bit, I'm curious."
They sat there listening to the conversation between the dark furred lioness and the one hidden in the tall grass.
"So the one on the ground is injured." Kaimu stated.
"Which gives us a better chance of getting around them. Come on, let's...."
Kulaani stopped when suddenly, the lioness in the grass slid out and came to a halt next to the other two. She was the biggest lioness Kulaani had ever seen. He watched the group and scoffed.
"Pathetic trio."
Kaimu nudged him with his shoulder. "Don't be rude Kulaani. That one lioness is injured, we should see if we can help."
Kulaani shook his head. "No, I really don't think tha...."
"Hello there! Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you!" Kaimu called out to the trio while walking towards them.
Kulaani growled loudly. "Stupid mutt!"

[Kirsui]

"I'm sorry to hear that. How were you hurt? I'd offer my services as a healer, but that's not one of my fortes."

Kirsui lifted her head from her paws and was about to reply, but sudden rustling from the large lioness' direction made her pause. The next thing she knew was Shetani laying close to her and Finja, and it suddenly became clear why Shetani herself hadn't approached them a moment ago.

"Uh, Finja, I presume? And Kirsui. In the flesh. I'm terribly sorry about this..."

Kirsui sympathetically smiled at the lioness. Her eyes hadn't quite yet adjusted properly to the darkness, but she thought that Shetani had been smiling too.

"There's nothing to be sorry about", Kirsui said before Finja could open her mouth. "We can hardly judge anyone by their appearance. It's what they're like on the inside that matters."

Finja rolled her eyes at Kirsui's choice of words. She herself might not have said it quite like that, but her smaller companion had always had a way with words that Finja herself sometimes lacked. Plus the pale lioness had a point.

It was then that she tensed once more with her ears twitching lightly. Someone was walking towards them, she was certain of it.

"Hello there! Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you!"

The dark furred lioness turned to look at the direction of the voice, and managed to pick out two figures she had previously missed. The one further back seemed to be a male lion, while the other one that had spoken was... a hyena? What a strange pair to come across with.

"Greetings to you too, stranger", Finja replied, nodding politely at the approaching hyena.

[Deleted]

“Appearance?” Shetani started to say, feeling a hint of crossness, but before she could say more a male voice called out across the savannah.
Shetani watched the male lion and hyena approach with silence. She was still on her side, her enormous middle falling down the hill ahead of her, at least a foot beyond the reach of her legs. Her foreclaws were still sunk into the grass to prevent her from slipping into Finja and Kirsui, and she had no idea what her back paws were doing. She raised her head on her massive neck, trying to do her best to look confident whilst feeling she was liable to slip at any moment.
“Who are you?” she asked the new strangers, seeing as nobody else had thought to ask. A hyena would never be welcome by himself, and by association the lion was also probably bad news. She did her best to keep her composure, and her manners.

[Deleted]

Kaimu stopped just a few feet away from them and dipped his head.
"My name is Kaimu, and my friend here is Kulaani. We were passing through when we spotted you three here. I overheard that your companion is injured and we thought we could help."
"HE thought he could help, I just wanted to keep going." Kulaani stated flatly.
Kaimu gave him a disapproving look. "Kulaani, don't be so rude!"
Kulaani growled. "Look, I've finally picked up the trial I was looking for. I'm not about to risk losing it. Besides, I doubt they're very trusting of a male lion and a hyena that just appears out of nowhere. I know I'm not too trusting of them."
"Yeah but you never trust anyone." Kaimu retorted. He turned his attention back to the trio. "Forgive my friend, he has never been good with meeting others."
"Idiot." Kulaani muttered.

[Kirsui]

Finja narrowed her eyes at the male lion. The hyena, at least, had some manners. In fact, this Kaimu was most likely the politest hyena she had ever met. While she was still slightly suspicious of him, she knew better than to judge anyone by their species alone. In the end lions, she had learned, were no better than hyenas, even if they liked to think so.

"Forgive my friend, he has never been good with meeting others."

"I'm grateful of your concern", Kirsui cut in with a small smile before Finja could say anything she might regret later. "And I'm sorry that you had to pause on your own travel just to check on me. But really, my injury is but a scratch, and nothing to worry about."

"Nothing to worry about?" Finja exclaimed, turning her glare from Kulaani to Kirsui. "You're lucky you can still walk!"

Kirsui's smile faltered. It was unusual for her friend to lose her composure like this, especially in front of strangers. She looked up at the black lioness and saw the worried look in her eyes.

"But I can walk", Kirsui said quietly. "Stop worrying so much."

[Deleted]

Shetani said, "Are you a healer?" That would be strange, for a hyena. Particularly a skull-wearing hyena, for that. She wished she could get up and move away - his smell had already reached her nose, and if there was one thing she didn't like, it was hyena smell. She tried not to look repulsed, which wasn't hard in the black of a moonless night.

[Deleted]

Kaimu shook his head. "There is no need to apologize, I couldn't just pass by without offering assistance. I am no healer, but I do know a herb that would at least numb the pain. It has wide, yellowish leaves, shouldn't be too hard to find out here, the problem is seeing the color."

Kulaani shook his head and began pacing impatiently. He was so close to catching the killers, yet he was getting held up because of Kaimu's desire to help everyone. With a heavy sigh, he sat down with his back to the group. If he was going to be stuck here, he might as well keep watch, they were easy targets here.

[Kirsui]

Kirsui tilted her head when the hyena described this herb that might ease her pain a little. She glanced up at Finja, who shrugged as an answer to the smaller lioness' silent inquiry on what she should do.

"I can create some light", Kirsui said, turning her gaze back to Kaimu. "It's going to slightly tint everything blue, but it's better than nothing, right?"

With a small amount of focusing Kirsui created a small ball of fire above her head. It was much brighter than the one she had created before and made it possible to see things within the area it lighted like on a night with full moon.

"I can't really walk very far, but I can move it around without moving myself", Kirsui further explained. "Oh and I wouldn't touch it if I were you. It saps warmth and freezes things."

While Kirsui had focused on the task of creating some light, Finja retreated away from the circle of eerily blue light that formed around the fireball. She had already once risked their safety in favour of detecting Shetani, and the current fireball could certainly attract unwanted attention. Without her realizing it at first, Finja had come to stand next to Kulaani. He seemed to be keeping watch, much like Finja herself also planned to do. She said nothing as she sat down and began to once again scan the area with practiced ease while keeping an ear out in case Kirsui required her aid.

[Deleted]

"Yellow and blue... that would mean the flower would look... green," Shetani said, trying to be helpful and failing. She couldn't believe how lucky she was to have stumbled across others with powers. Usually, she found, they were the most accepting of her unusual appearance. "I promise, I'll be more helpful during the daylight. I won't look like such a whale in a sea of grass either." Her shoulders were aching from where she was gripping the grass, however, but they seemed to be the only thing keeping her from sliding further. She looked to Kirsui and, feeling more confident than she had a moment ago, asked, "So: where did you learn to do that?"

[Deleted]

Kaimu watched the orb and nodded. "I'll make sure not to touch it."
He heard Shetani's advice and smiled, then remembering that she couldn't see it because of the dark and his mask, he dipped his head to her.
"I'll summon some assistants to help me look."
He faced away from them and began to mutter something that no one else could understand. After several moments, the ground began to shift until a hoof appeared out of the ground, followed by a second one. They dug themselves out of the ground until finally, standing before the group, were two skeletons, one a gazelle and one an antelope. Kaimu said something to them in his strange language and they ran off.
"They'll help me look for the herb, they won't require light to see. I'll be back shortly." With that, Kaimu turned and walked away to search for the herb.

Kulaani was watching the surroundings when suddenly everything lit up. He didn't need to turn around to know what it was and he let out a little growl of annoyance. Great, light us up for everyone to see. Good idea. It was then that he realized that the dark furred lioness was next to him, keeping watch as well. He felt a little uncomfortable being next to the stranger, but then he sighed and glanced at her.
"I.. uh... I'm sorry for being rude to you all. It's just that I've been chasing someone since I was very young and I'm finally about to catch him." Kulaani didn't know why he even cared about apologizing to them, but he felt like it was just something he should do.

[Kirsui]

Kirsui shivered slightly at the sight of the two skeletons that Kaimu had summoned, but she didn't complain at all. The hyena was helping her, and she wasn't one to judge help that was freely given. As she watched the hyena walk off she heard Shetani's question and her smile faltered.

"Someone attacked me", she answered quietly. "I was still a cub, and there was no one to defend me. I unconsciously surrounded myself with this fire. He never attacked me again."

The pale lioness momentarily flattened her ears, then shook her head as she pushed her surfacing memories aside. When she looked at Shetani again, her smile was back, though it was slightly more sad than it had been before.

"I'm sorry. Speaking of the past is... difficult."


-------------------


Finja smiled faintly at Kulaani's words. Perhaps he wasn't so bad after all.

"There is no need to apologise", she said quetly, her gaze not faltering from its task of scanning the area. "I know something of tracking, and it does tend to get one carried away when close to the target."

She didn't get into details on how exactly she knew these things, not that it was any of Kulaani's business anyway. For a moment she sat in silence, until she realized something they had neglected to do when Kulaani and Kaimu had first approached them. Kulaani and Kaimu had given them their names, but they had not done so in return.

"We didn't introduce ourselves", she remarked, her voice still low and rather calm. "I'm Finja, my injured friend is Kirsui, and the other lioness we just came across with is Shetani."

[Deleted]

"And even harder with strangers, I'm sure... although sometimes it's easier." She smiled back and shrugged, but slipped again slightly. "Hey, uhh... I know you're injured and all, but would you mind just pressing against me for a moment so I can right myself? My legs are a little useless in this form. And if you want, tomorrow, I can probably return the favour and ease your burdens a little.” She shuffled again, her huge stomach wobbling like a ball of jelly as she kicked her back legs.

[Deleted]

Kulaani nodded and went back to watching the area. He noticed a skeleton running off into the distance as he realized that Kaimu must have summoned them to help search for the herb. Kirsui obviously has some sort of power, as well as himself "So, are you two sisters? Do you have any special... abilities like Kirsui?"

Kaimu searched the nearby area for the herbs. The light helped, but it only lit up so much, it was still difficult to make out which herb was the one he was looking for. He stopped we he heard something approaching and turned to see one of his skeletons running towards him. It dropped a leaf of the herb at his paw.
"You found it! Take me to them." Kaimu ordered. He followed it back to where the herb was growing and found his second skeleton standing guard next to them.
"Good work, pick some up and we'll take it back to the group." Kaimu pulled some out of the ground and his skeletons followed suit, then he led them back to the lions.

[Kirsui]

Kirsui smiled gently at Shetani as she carefully get back up on her feet. "Of course. Finja kicks up a huge fuss, but the injury isn't all that bad. Plus I just rested. It should be fine."

She carefully walked to Shetani and did as the other lioness had asked, minding her injured leg at the same time so that she wouldn't harm herself further.


-------------------


Finja smiled wryly at Kulaani's question while she watched a skeleton run off. Kulaani didn't seem to mind its presence, and the dark lioness assumed the skeleton must have been summoned by Kaimu. She wasn't sure how Kulaani had guessed she and Kirsui were related, so many tended to overlook it due to their different colouration. But, in the end, she supposed they did share enough similar characteristics.

"Half sisters, actually", she replied. "We share the same father, although we only found out about it recently. We weren't raised together, and it shows. Kirsui never recieved any training. From what she told me, she seems to have been the only one with any kind of powers in her pride. She had to learn how to control her skills on her own."

The dark lioness paused. She thought she had overheard Shetani ask Kirsui to help her get a more comortable position. While she was slightly worried, she trusted that the pale lioness would ask for help if she needed any.

"Abilities like ours are common in my home pride", Finja continued. "Had we both been raised there, Kirsui would have become one of our ranged defenders. She may have been shunned as a child, but she is better off for it. Being trained from early childhood to become a fighter is..."

She paused again and shook her head, glancing at Kulaani with a slightly apologetic smile. "I have only half answered your question, because that's how I was trained to do. I was to never speak of my abilities with anyone but my direct superiors."

[This Land]

dun dun duuuuun - a lioness Joins. Forgive my fail lack of RP skills (ironically) haven't done this for aaaaaages ><.

A lioness had been walking for a while in the night air with a faint smile on her face, she was contempt and relaxed. She needed a nice place to lay for the night and some nice long grass in front was just the thing, in a spurt of random playful nature she lept into it and rolled around. Constant flies and all sorts of insects that were bugging her all day had caused quite some irritation and and nice back rub was just the thing for her. She took a deep breath through her nose and exhaled, her smile extending. She gave herself a quick groom all over and finished at her stomach, she stared blankly for a moment and then rolled on her side.
This was Destiny, a long term wanderer and she loved every minute of it, she loved the freedom and being in a world of her own. She was unique in some ways, she could do things that no other creature she knew could do, so she went into wandering so not to cause a fuss, it was better for her this way.
She could hear talking in mid distance away but that didn't bother her, she was used to such things and she believed that if she didn't bother them they wouldn't bother her, and after all she thought that no other lion or creature would have such strange powers like hers, or any at all for that matter, in that respect that was the only thing that made her feel genuinely alone in this world.
Sleeping in an open place didn't bother her either, she closed her eyes, curled up and her body slowly blended into the grass, eventually she was invisible, as long as she didn't move during her sleep (which she had got used to doing all these years) her camouflage would remain effective and no go out of synchronization, she felt safe and unspottable. She may say a quick friendly hello in the morning if they seemed non hostile but then be quickly on her way, she didnt want to take too much of a risk at this time. She let out a quick soft purr and nodded to sleep.
