Her bulky shape wove between baobab trees that skirted the edges of the Watering Hole. Her black pelt gleamed in the dim sunlight as the sun sank beneath the dream-like mountains in the distance. The sun cast a multitude of colors across the sky and gave the clouds a musty golden color. The blue from the sky had faded, leaving the sun-cast yellow in it's stead, and was soon to be replaced by the vast stretch of black.
Her golden eyes searched the landscape for any sign of life. What she was looking for was unclear, even to herself, yet she was persistent in her searching. When she found nothing, she strode over to the clear water and began lapping. Her eyes were closed and her visage was serene.

Moyo was wandering to the drinking hole, trying to avoid the other lioness. They were all busy socializing and she would have just preferred to stay out of it. It wasn't that she didn't want friends, it was just that she hated the awkwardness her presences always induced. As a cub she had never been forced to talk to anyone else, and even though at the time Moyo had enjoyed it, she was now regretting the fact that she had no social skills what so ever. At first Moyo was too distracted by her self pity to notice the black lion but as she approached the edge of the water she did. Moyo stopped in her tracks and stared blankly. "Uh...Hi..." she said, her mouth stumbling to say less stupid sounding. "Umm...uh..sorry," She apologized, feeling her fur grow warm with embarrassment. She stared down at her large paws.

[glow=green,2,300]KALA[/glow] Her ears flicked up as she heard the soft pad of paws nearby. The whisking of the grasses near the crystal water sounded and a lioness stuttered, "Uh... hi...." She paused. "Um... uh... sorry...." At the apology, Kala looked up from her drink and blinked her sun-like eyes at the newcomer. She lifted her head from the surface of the water to high above her straight shoulders.
She could tell this lioness wasn't experienced socially, but neither was she. She preferred to keep to herself, and she liked it that way. But something about this female seemed much like herself, except a thousand times more timid. Therefore, conversation seemed the only logical path. The two of them were equally matched in social relationships, so talking wouldn't be too torturous.
She smirked a small bit. "What is there to be sorry for?" Her tail flicked behind her. "I'm Kala." Legend:

Moyo took a step closer to the lioness and sat down. Moyo sighed and said, "I know I always come here to think, and I was worried I had interrupted your private time." Then turning her gaze to her feet she added, "My name is Moyo." Moyo couldn't remember if Kala was part of her pride or not, but that sort of thing never really bothered Moyo. A lion was a lion, it didn't really matter who was their leader. Moyo had never fought in real battles, she had always found them pointless. Why should you kill your fellow lion over small differences? Still Moyo knew she would be in a lot of trouble if she was caught socializing with some from a different pride so she asked quietly, "Are you from simba's pride?" What would she do if she wasn't? After a lot of thought Moyo decided she would stay here and talk to the lioness anyways, she just would have to be quiet about it around her pride.

[glow=green,2,300]KALA[/glow] "I know I always come here to think, and I was worried I had interrupted your private time. My name is Moyo." Moyo paused for a moment. "Are you from Simba's pride?"
The question was no surprise to her. It was expected to be wary of which pride a lion comes from, with tensions running high these days.
She nodded. "Yes, I am a Pridelander."
She thought over what Moyo has said before. I have no private time, except in my mind, she thought, and my mind I can use anywhere. A debate between herself ran in her head. Do you think she would mind? It may be too personal. I wouldn't want others to know what was going on inside my head... In the end, she decided to ask anyway.

Moyo was relieved to hear that she was a pride lander too. She was beginning to remember seeing Kala around pride rock but Moyo figured Kala was probably more of a loner and that's why she hadn't really ever talked to her before. They definitely had that in common. When Kala asked her what she came here to think about she had to think for a moment. She turned to look at Kala in the eyes and said, "I don't know I guess." Then she turned her head to stare up at the sky and said, "I suppose it was to wonder if I really belong here, or anywhere for that matter. If I'll have a real family friends. What my future is really going to be like." She closed her eyes for a second and took a deep breath in. She opened them again and whispered, "You know that normal stuff." So many lions had their whole future planned out, ever single step of the way. Moyo didn't have anything planned, not even what she was going to do tomorrow. She took the future one day at a time, fearing every choice that could change her future for better or for worse.

[glow=green,2,300]KALA[/glow] "I suppose I wonder if I really belong here, or anywhere for that matter. If I'll have a real family or friends. What my future is really going to be like." Moyo seemed to hesitate, or pause to think. "You know that normal stuff" She nodded solemnly. "I know what you mean." She paused, intending to think about what to say next, but nothing came to mind. "I never really think about my future," her jaw locked, "but I don't care. I figure I'll just let whatever happen, happen. If it turns out for the worse, I'll deal with it." Something her mother had always used to say occurred to her, and she finally understood.

-RESIDENT WEATHER NYMPH!- A wind is whipping in from the north, past Pride Rock, and over the Pridelands. Dry dirt flings into lions' eyes and loose leaves are rolling across the ground or flying through the air at randomly selected targets. Otherwise, the sun is bright and hot. It scorches lions not under the protection of trees. The wind is strong enough to bend the limbs of ancient trees and throw birds in flight from one side of the savannah to the next. Lions on Pride Rock should be cautious of being flung from it's peak or tip onto the hard ground below. |

(I apologize for the faill-y-ness of this post my muse is being angry  ) Moyo's eyes grew wide when Kala said their wasn't really a future. For a few moments she tried to speak but nothing came out of her mouth. "..B-but their has to be!" A silent tear feel down Moyo's cheek as shook her head, "I live for the future, the future is all I have." Closing her eyes again she added quietly, "Or won't have I guess." Sighing she stood up and began to pace back and forth by the waters edge. "I have nothing now, no family, no real friends, nothing I am really good at," She said her voice still soft. She looked at Kala and said, "But I like to pretend I will someday in the future. That's why it has to exists, that's why it is has to be real!" Her voice was now growing higher and more desperate sounding. |

[glow=green,2,300]KALA[/glow] After hearing Moyo's hasty reply, begging her to swear the existence of the future, she froze for a total of three seconds. After the short time, she burst out laughing, gasping for breath and rolling over onto her back. Her front paws were held against her chest, as was a habit when she lay on her back. Her back paws kicked out uncontrollably.
She rolled back onto her paws, holding back another bout of giggling. She surprised herself, she usually wasn't like this, but the misunderstanding and sent her flying to the borderline of insanity.
"You misunderstand." She smirked, suppressing other chuckle. "I only meant that we shouldn't worry about the future because we're never going to go there. We live in the present, where we always are. Just like we'll never re-visit our past, we cannot travel through time to the future." She nodded at Moyo. "Therefore, all there is left to worry about is right now, so change the now the way you think it should be changed."
Her golden eyes sparkled at the prospect. "You control the now, Moyo. You! Legend:
