(OOC: I was actually going to ask if you wanted to do another RP but you read my mind XD Anyway I will be using Unu as you already know. Would you like to do fantasy style again? I feel like it's more fun that way but I will leave it up to you!) Unu walked along the saturated savanna grass as the pouring drops of rain fell from the heavens. With his gaze facing the ground, as it tended to, he marched forward with a look of apathy and a posture to match. He had been walking for so long now, far longer than any cub of his age should be forced to, but this was the only reality he knew since he had lost the luxury of being carried from time to time. It had been this way for a while but upon each reflection of the events leading to his current life it felt like the wounds in his memory had just been inflicted and that their pain was not festering of infected scars but rather new lacerations brought about from immediate trauma. Unu's silent flashbacks were broken with pain of a large droplet of water landing on one of the open wounds that peppered his body stung like a bee on raw flesh. The grimace that he made only lasted for a quick moment though as he continued to move; pain has been commonplace in recent times. While preoccupied with his own internal battles Unu became to engrossed in his own mind to notice the sound of footsteps in the surrounding grass that had now become too tall for him to see from. His eyes widened upon hearing the lurking steps and his tail began to lower as a result of his fear. He wished he could control himself but for some reason he was never able to and he instead froze in the grassy prison, awaiting whatever it was to find him.

(OOC: Hehe x3 I think Fantasy style sounds good!! ^-^ also sorry about Neema's profile being so incomplete at the moment) Neema was trudging along, the endless droplets of water ceasing from their paths to the moist ground. Her nose gave a light twitch and she looked down her nose at a lightly coloured butterfly. Her eyes light up and she smiled, her eyes trailing the markings along its elegant wings, the water droplets along her body seeming to melt away. The limbs of the insect began to move as it left Neema's nose, Neema however then began racing after it as it glided off into the grey sky, somehow managing to dodge the large droplets of water falling all around it. She continued to leap after it, her well trained feet accommodating for the imperfections in the ground. She reached for it, not quite sure why, but she wanted to occupy herself and this butterfly was such a pretty prey. Neema had a nagging fear in the back of her mind of how it was just Malou and her and why there was no one else, she couldn't remember anything but what Malou had thought her and the paths they had travelled. Her sister had concealed the past from her, for her own good. Neema continued to race after the butterfly, her eyes sparkling with the reflection of the surrounding world. The wide gash across the back of her neck was beginning to scream with pain as the long hair she used to hide it was lathered back with water. She winced, but didn't move her eyes from the colourful butterfly. Suddenly the ground beneath her felt soft and she toppled over. She fell over the things back and hit noses with it. Her mind was racing and she had no idea what it could be until she opened her eyes. Her head was still slightly spinning but she regathered herself quickly, a grey being blurring in front of her. The figure came into focus and she looked into his eyes. 'Another lion cub??' She watched him thoughtfully, shuffling backwards several paces worth. He didn't look like any lion she had known before, maybe she should call Malou over. She dismissed the thought, Malou would freak out to much. She stood back up and shook her now soaked body, the rain had picked up considerably in the last few moments. She emitted a light, low growl from her throat, but only hunched her back slightly, she had no idea if this cub was a threat or not.

(It's no problem! If you haven't noticed Unu's fantasy page literally says that it is going to be worked on as time progresses and doesn't even have a single ability =P)
Unu met eyes with the creature that was stalking him, its eyes like daggers calling out his fears and forcing him to remain frozen as he watched. It wasn't long before it gave a light growl that sounded much like something Unu could muster himself. Though scared Unu found himself somehow able to remain somewhat composed and speak with a shaky voice that matched his body's current state. "Who... who are you?" He said with a tiny voice that barely penetrated the grass he was surrounded by.

Neema relaxed slightly "I am Neema. And who are you?" she said in a smooth voice, her eyes watching him intently. She had no idea who this cub was or if he was here with anyone. "And are you here with anyone?" She added, remembering the lesson Malou had given her on questioning. Neema was hesitant towards the fellow cub, but she could tell he was no true threat. She took a slightly shaky step forwards, "Why are you here?" she asked, peering into his eyes and searching for emotions, eyes she had always seemed to find easy to read, neither her nor her sister knew why.
Neema cocked her head at the cub and slouched back into a sitting position "Relax would you? I know it's cold and all but it's not like I'm going to kill you." she said with slight humour, Neema did not yet understand the laws of interactions, only the presets her sister had drummed into her mind. Neema looked to the cub, the way he appeared still astonished Neema. She had never seen a fellow lion other then her sister, at least none she could remember and he was so elegantly plain. She stared at him a while, taking in his appearance and the way his eyes seemed to change colour, the cold rain however began to get to her and she gave a small shiver.

As Neema introduced herself and stepped out from the grass Unu was able to control his shivers and force his tail to rise a little bit against his still-present fear. When she asked her questions he wanted to respond but his voice could not find its way out as he instead stared into her eyes and did not move. Soon enough she told him to relax and assuaged his fear that she was still a danger to him and he could feel his voice reclaim its place in his through as he began to answer the questions that seemed to be asked ages ago.
"My-my name is Unu" he said with a stronger tone, "and no, I'm here alone... I'm not really here for anything specific either." Before he could ask his own set of questions he watched as the other cub shivered, forcing him to realize just how cold he felt and just how much the cuts on his back pained him. "Do you have a place to sleep?" Unu asked, naively hoping for a direct answer.

Neema noticed the cub took it several moments to reply to her questions but when he did she smiled and said "Nice to meet you Unu!" in return and took his replies into her mind. Suddenly the hairs along the back of her neck prickled upwards and she leapt up and crouched away from the grass from where she had come. Through the long blades of grass a pair of icy green eyes stared at the pair of them and suddenly the whole body of an adolescent appeared. However the female was not far from adulthood and her appearance was peculiar. She had a long clump of auburn hair that had grown between her ears and just remained just above her eyes as the hair swept down her face and stopped just past her muzzle.
Neema gave a sheepish grin "Umm Malou this is Unu." her voice was cautious as she feared Malou just as much as she loved her. Malou stood tall as she look down on Unu, her eyes calculating the cubs physique and whether of not to help him. She continued watching Unu, but said to Neema "Why did you leave my side?!" She half growled, but remained cool. Neema kicked the wet ground and made circles with her paw "Well there was this butterfly.." "Enough." Malou interjected she knew her sister well. She then gave a semi smile down to Unu "Hello Unu." Neema was surprised by her sudden kindness, but would not reject it. She gave a smile to Unu and straightened her back. "Malou can Unu come with us?" she asked delicately, her eyes full of distant fear and intelligent curiosity as she continued to try and calculate the reason to her actions.
(OOC: Do you mind if I add Malou?? She will be an npc in the rp if u accept but I can always remove her. It's up to you ^-^)

(OOC: I have no problems with that! If you would rather just use her as a normal character that's fine too! I plan on adding an antagonist of some sort a bit later but that probably wont be for a bit.)
As Neema crouched away from the grass and a pair of frosted green eyes materialized between the blades Unu fell back into his frightened state. While his body seemed like it was readying a rooted defense his mind was screaming for him to run; a request that his frozen body could not fulfill. The shaking of his body only intensified as the creature stepped from the grass and loomed over the two. Malou? Unu thought to himself as Neema spoke what seemed to be the creature's name. At first, the fact that Neema knew this feline was enough to allow Unu to regain some sort of control over his paralyzed muscles but the strong interrogation by Malou was enough to force back into his shivering state.
After what seemed like an hour Malou spoke again, her voice much calmer this time. It took Unu a moment to register that it was his name she spoke, and another for him to meet her eyes and respond with a weak "...h-h-hello." He watched Neema as she asked for permission from the figure, possibly her mother, with a sense of caution in her voice that was matched with an intelligent gaze that filled her eyes.

(OOC: I will leave her as an NPC for now ^-^ And that sounds interesting =D)
The male cubs wavering response caused a light smile to spread across her maw. Her eyes were open, but not wide and she looked at each of the young cubs eyes in turn, trying to determine whether or not his presence would be useful to herself and her sister. Neema grew impatient of waiting and interjected her sisters thinking by saying "Malou please let him come."
Malou's head snapped to face her sisters and she gave her a straight expression. "Very well sister, but on one condition; he does not injure either of us or interfere when I hunt." She said with a simple tone. She was not fully opposed to the idea of Unu coming with them, but she was not entirely happy with the idea either. She walked closer to the pair of them, her face wet with the cold rain and a loud clap of thunder sounded. Neema yawned and Malou did not seem to notice it but simply began to walk towards the den she had found whilst Neema had ran off. Her sister followed, understanding exactly where she was leading them, but remained exactly a metre behind her.
(OOC: Sorry about the bold in the last paragraph my computer wont let me edit it... Fixed it XD)

(OOC: No worries!)
Unu stood completely still, his eyes still trained on Malou. He was no longer terrified of the feline, but she did have an air about her that made him feel wary and protected at the same time. Judging by Neema's plea and Malou's response to her it seemed his feelings were felt not only by him, but by the new cub as well. "I promise Malou" Unu said with the same cautious tone that Neema held before walking on the side of the cub as she trailed behind her sister.
Unu looked up to the stormy sky as each clap of thunder resonated through his bones and caused him to jump slightly. "Hey Neema," Unu asked quietly as he struggled to formulate his question, "is Malou... nice?" Unu was aware that she had allowed him to come along, but he was still very wary as to this stranger's true nature.

Unu jumped beside her and she gave a small giggle. His question formulated in her mind for a while and she thought about it for a long time before finally answering "No, I don't think she is, but she is extremely clever! She has taught me everything!!" She said with a small hop. Neema didn't quite understand her sister, no one really did, not even herself. She was a confused soul, under a lot of pressure that Neema did not quite understand but she didn't want to concern the young cub with the past and so continued to keep it from her.
Malou continued to walk, checking every once in while that the cubs were close behind her. Neema and Unu remained 1 metre behind her, she made sure of that and by the time she could see the den she had not thought of much other then the immediate consequences of having this new cub with them, but now her mind drifted ahead and she weighed the pros and the cons of having this 'Unu' with them.

Unu frowned a bit, his lack of vocabulary getting the better of him. "I'm not sure if that came out right..." he said watching his paws as they moved along the moist dirt. "I guess what I meant to say was-" Unu involuntarily stopped his speech as a loud crack of thunder rang through the air making his neck hair stand up just a bit as his tail began to find its way downwards. He took a deep breath and continued the question, "Will Malou keep us safe?" He looked Neema in the eyes as his words left his mouth, his own eyes full of curiosity and worry. He wanted to stay with this lions, at least for a while longer, but he knew from the stinging of his wounds that he couldn't immediately trust everyone that he met.

Neema looked to Unu and moved her head to its side slightly, she did not quite understand Unu's fear of the thunder, but she did not ask. However as his eyes met hers his question entered her and she stopped, looking to the ground momentarily. "Yes, I think she will, Malou is quite scary but she isn't really like that on the inside, she just wants to look scary, she says it makes her look older. I wish that sometimes she would just be herself all the time. I don't think Malou will do anything to harm us. Anything horrible that comes to get me gets scared away by Malou!" she finished with a smile and looked over at her sister who had now stopped and was looking back at them. Her cool blue eyes locked with Neema's and almost smiled at her, but her face was grizzly and tired. Neema trotted to her side and looked to the small, mossy den that was a small opening in an overhanging cliff. Malou looked to the cubs and said calmly "The opening is small, but it is larger on the inside don't you worry." she gave them an exhausted smile and ushered the pair into the cave. Her icy eyes tried to search the surroundings for a sign of persuers, but it was becoming too dark to see anything. She gave a small exhale of air that swirled around her maw before swiftly turning and entering the cave.

Unu smiled as Neema told him of Malou's protection and the pain of his wounds slowly faded as he neared the entrance to the cave. He stopped in front of the cave, allowing Neema to enter through the small hole before he himself followed closely behind. The inside of the cave was surprisingly large, it gray walls extending higher than one would think just by observing the entrance. "It is bigger in here" Unu commented, his voice bouncing against the walls of his temporary sanctum. Without a thought Unu shook violently in an attempt to remove the excess water from his fur, spraying both Neema and Malou with small droplets of liquid as he winced in pain from his own lesions.

Neema gave a large smile and giggled as Unu's voice bounced around them on the smooth save wall. Then the splatter of several small droplets pattered against her nose and she sneezed. She smiled and then looked at the slightly smiling Malou. Her sister swiftly stopped smiling and gave a long stretch before slowly lowering herself to the floor and giving a long yawn as a chilly breeze blew in through the opening. Shivers ran along her spine, but she didn't pay much attention to it as her eye lids became heavy as she watched the opening cautiously. Neema trotted over to her sister and rubbed her eyes as she rested her head against Malou's leg and paw. A lazy hand beckoned for Unu to join them in their huddle as the two sisters began to drift off. The cave was cozy enough, but it wasn't entirely warm, they would need each others heat to ensure they didn't awake with cold paws. Neema gave Unu a small smile and said quietly "We're gonna be the bestest of friends."

Unu gave a slight jump at Neema's sneeze as it's sound echoed against the walls of the cave before smiling at his own fear. For just a moment Unu saw that the three of them were sharing a smile, an incident that ended as quickly as it began as Malou laid on the ground and trained her eyes on the opening of the cave. He continued to watch the sisters as they snuggled together, a warmth that Unu hoped he would be allowed to partake in to combat the cold blasts of air that came at regular intervals through the small portal. The gesture and words from Neema were enough to pull Unu to Malou as he rested his own head on the same leg as the young cub that called to him. "I think so too" Unu said with a large yawn before drifting off into sleep.

Neema felt the presence of Unu beside her and gave a content smile as his reply echoed around her head for a while before her drowsy head took charge and her eye lids slid shut and her body gave into the exhaustion of the day.
Malou looked down to the pair of them positioned on her arm and gave them a fond smile, she did love her sister and this cub seemed honest enough. She laid he head upon her other paw and allowed her eyes to slowly slide shut as her vision was trained upon the entrance. It was important that she kept using her powers to keep Neema from knowing, she needed to keep her safe and this was the easiest way. Her aching body slowly shut down as she entered a peaceful sleep.
A sudden rustling of leaves sprung Malou's sleeping body to wake and she was greeted by soft sunlight of the early morning leaking through into the cave, she checked her arm quickly. Neema and her friend were there and she relaxed, letting her head rest against her paw once again. Her still drowsy body pulled her back to sleep. Neema giggled as she noticed her sisters breathing became deep once again and she got up and yawned. She jumped up and down and shook Unu's arm gently, she wanted to go explore and now she had someone to go with. She pressed against Unu lightly repeatedly and whispered his name in his ear. She repeated this as long as he was still sleeping.

Unu awoke to Neema's prodding, his eyes shooting wide as he took a deep gasp inwards at the disturbance. Upon seeing his friend's smiling face he calmed down, his heart beat resuming its normal pace as he stood on shaky legs. As Neema looked to him he stretched his legs and let out a large yawn before looking to her and smiling in a way that showed her his willingness to do something. "What are we doing?" he whispered in a curious tone, his voice strained in his care to not wake Malou from her slumber.

When Unu smiled back, just as widely, "Were going to go on an adventure!! Without boring Malou.." she whispered as best she could, but found it difficult to contain her excitement. She wasn't really thinking about that Malou would do if she woke up to find them gone, but she knew that she probably didn't want to find out. "We should probably get back by mid- day though.." she said, trailing off. She didn't want to restrict their adventure time, though she figured it would be for the best. She began to quietly tread towards the small entrance, trying her best not to awake the sleeping Malou. Her sleeping body gave a twitch through the dreams and Neema froze, terrified. Though after several moments of waiting she didn't move again and she let out a light sigh of relief.
Malou was entirely unaware of the real world around her, emerged within her own reality.
Neema reached the opening and looked back at Malou to check for, well she didn't actually know what, but once seeing that everything was in order she ran out into the crisp morning light. The rush of cold that hit her was however a nasty surprise and cause shivers to race over her spine. She looked at Unu and gave him a large smile, her hair on edge and her eyes wide with excitement. She had never really gone adventuring with anyone other than Malou, but she couldn't wait to get started.
