Finally Some Water

[mila]

Mila lead the other lions to the watering hole, it was quite a walk. It was only about a ten minute walk but if you were dehydrated, it seemedmuch longer. She looked down at young little Kino. Mila smiled down at him, she knew that he was probably thirsty, he was always wearing himself out from jumping all over the place.

Kino followed after his mother, calming down now. He was thirsty from always running out of energy. he opened his big mouth to yawn. He closed his mouth and then raised his maw looking up to his mother. He giggled and then ran the last yard to the watering hole. He leaned his head into the water and lifted his dripping head out.

Mila laughed, looking back at the thirsty lions, "This is it," she stated softly, before dipping her own maw to the surface and then lapping up the water beside Kino, watching him intently. She was always unaware of what his next move would be.

The lioness followed her to the water. a confused growl was emitted from her, not knowing if it was her imagination that was creating the water hole in front of her. she walked to it, carefully placing her feet, a wary expression on her facade. she lowered her dial to lap gently at the aqua. a soothing sensation overcame her and she put her front paws into the water, feeling the coldness was like a dream come true. she laid down in the shallow waters, absorbing its coolness happily.

Mila smiled as Xana and the others sarted to lap up the cool, crisp water. She then looked back at her reflection before lapping up some more water. She looked back down at Kino, nudged him and then padded over to the side of the wterhole, behind the others. She thought that they were practically a pride now and that they should stay togerther.

Kino still lapping up the water and growled playfully as his mother nudged him before walking off. He now laid down continuing his drinking.

[.:|:. X A N A .:|:.]

she released a noise that sounded somewhere between a growl and a purr. she didnt care about anything at that moment, apart from the fact that her dehydration had been satisfied. she quickly lapped up water until she was full and growled her thanks once more to Mila. she sprang up, feeling more full of life than she had done before and looked around for Bast and the others. she hadnt seen any of them arrive yet, and hoped they would get here soon.

Mila nodded her head to Xana and then extended her paw, gripping on to little Kino. She pulled the kitten towards her and then looked towards to the horizon, watching the sun slowly set. She then looked back at Xana, wondering where she was going to sleep, then to young Kino wondering where they were going to sleep.

Kino nibbled at his mother's paw as she dragged him closer to her. he squealed complaining a bit. He then nuzzled his mother, yawning.

[.:|:. X A N A .:|:.]

She too wondered where to sleep. she stood quietly watching the sun slowly sink into the distance, then sighed. she looked over to the mother and son, her eyes glinting in the darkness. She padded quietly to them, and growled to Mila, so she knew that she was there.
*i know of a place we can go. i am right in thinking you are unclaimed?*

[mila]

Mila nodded her head, "Yes I am unclaimed," she said to Xana. She was glad that this female was accepting the young kitten and this mother, most lions she had come across hadn't accepted them. Mila smiled at Xana, glad that she knew a place to stay over night.

Kino toddled around behind Mila and the other lions around them. He finally felll on his bottom and sighed, a sigh of boredom. He was a fairly energetic kitten but he got beat...easily. That was also good for tired Mila and other lions, whom got annoyed at the young kittens enthusiasm and energy.

[.:|:. X A N A .:|:.]

she yawned and snarled tiredly. *follow me, i know of a place where we can go*

((sorry about short post but i g2g))

[mila]

Mila nodded her head and quickly picked up young Kino in her mouth and began to follow after Xana. She was glad that they were going to have a place to stay overnight, until she could join a pride or find their own place to live.

[.:|:. X A N A .:|:.]

she padded quickly away from the water hole, leaving its cool waters shining from the moonlight, washing up gently around them. she looked back to check that the others were following before exitting the lands.
