[Hopeflower]

Uzuri took a couple of steps forward, looking around. A smile spreading across her face, she turned to her beloved. "I think it's fantastic," she purred.

[The Kingpin]

Nguvu chuckled. "I literally stood there staring at the waterfall till the sun went down first time i saw one. that one was enormous. problem is, it'd take forever to get there, and it had alot of competition. this place looks quieter" he growled as he began to walk towards the waterfall, curious about the little dip in the cliff face...

[Hopeflower]

Uzuri headed towards the pool, crouching to lap at the cool water. "I could get used to living here," she growled happily, raising her head.

[The Kingpin]

Kubwa looked around, coming up behind the two, mystified by the beauty of the place. he rushed towards the pool, rushing into the water head first, diving in, much to his older brother's surprise. Kubwa always did like water he thought. Nguvu walked onto the rock ledge, noting the rocky floor was wet, but still wide enough that he didn't have to worry about slipping. walking further inwards, he noted there was a large dip in the cliff face behind the waterfall, at the back of which....a cave. Nguvu's eyes widened. entering, he glanced around. the entrance was wet, but as he went further in, the cave curved and rose upwards. going to the back of it, he found the incline ended, the rock forming a large, slightly bowl-like formation. a loud roar came from the lion, screeches of panic coming from the bats within, coming out in a cloud of black and brown, shooting out of the cave and past the dip in the cliff face, around the waterfall. as his eyes adjusted, he glanced around. the cave was dimly lit, though there was a spot in one corner of the cave where a hole in the ceiling cast light onto the rocky floor near the entrance, the wet surface of the ground subsequently turning into a natural mirror, reflecting the light around the room, giving it some dim lighting. the cave was dry further in, and the ground had several smooth dips along the walls. Those would make nice resting spots for the others thought the lion. as for the high spot in the very back of the cave. it was large enough for himself...and there was plenty of room for Uzuri too. Nguvu smirked. "Kubwa! Uzuri! come have a look at this!" growled Nguvu loudly, his voice somewhat distorted from the acoustic nature of the cave...

[Hopeflower]

Uzuri got to her paws, padding quickly in the direction of the waterfall. "What is it?" she called as she neared, curious but feeling cautious as she spotted the cave entrance.

[The Kingpin]

Kubwa rushed towards the source of Nguvu's voice, seeing the entrance to the cave. "I think i've found our new home" growled Nguvu from within, the Lion looking around at the various natural pillars in the cave, the stalagmites and stalagtites shimmering dully with moisture near the entrance of the cave...

[UndeadRaptor]

Unsure of the response, Sharp Claw paused for a moment, before continuing on towards the cave, stopping at the entrance. "Night? You home?" the male wolf lightly growled, snifffing the air for their scents, barley picking them up.

Amani awoke not too long after sleeping, and pulled herself out of the ditch to stretch. As she finished stretching, she went off for a quick walk in the jungle, looking for a nearby water source for her to drink out of, and she hoped she'd find Uzuri and Nguvu at that spot. Not too long after wandering around, she found a nice stream to drink from, and started lapping up small gulps of water to soak her dry throat.

[Hopeflower]

Night's howl suddenly sounded from behind Sharpclaw. The white wolf came bounding down the cliff, her movements quick and graceful. She charged into the cave, making the intruder, who turned out to be a russet-colored fox, scurry backwards with a yelp. She'd been tracking this fox for two days. And now that she'd caught it, in her den about to kill the helpless black pup, it would pay with its life for threatening Lusa. The fox let out a high-pitched bark of pain as Night's jaws closed around its neck, the sound cut off by a heart-stopping crack.

Uzuri paused, blinking to get her eyes to adjust to the dim light. "Oh...wow," she growled. "I think you might be right, Nguvu. This looks ideal."

[UndeadRaptor]

Sharp's head suddenly shot around, hearing the howls and yelps from Night and a fox she had just caught. He came bolting down the cliff to see if Night was okay, hsortly after checking on Lusa, who was inside her cave. "Night? Are you alright?" Sharp Claw barked, finally reaching the bottom of the cliff he had raced down. He bit into a small spot on the fox's flank, and ripped it's flesh out with his claws, making sure his and Night's attack on the pest were insurvivable...

[The Kingpin]

"Not quite ideal...but i have a few ideas" growled Nguvu as Kubwa walked in, looking around. "wow....I hope i find somewhere this good" growled Kubwa as he looked around. "What do you mean?" growled Nguvu as he eyed his brother. "Haven't seen anything near this good so far....i'm just hoping i get some luck searching for one soon" responded Kubwa. Nguvu eyed Uzuri, as if checking to see what her opinion was before outright inviting Kubwa to stay here...

[Hopeflower]

Night's jaws opened, the fox's limp body falling to the ground with a dull thud. Its head lolled limply, neck bones sticking out at an odd angle. Its expression was frozen in a mixture of fear and shock. "I'm fine," she growled. Lusa pressed herself against the white wolf's foreleg, trying to stop shaking. She'd almost thought Night would be too late...the fox had cornered her.

Uzuri met Nguvu's glance and gave an indifferent twitch of one ear. She wouldn't mind if Kubwa stayed with them.

[The Kingpin]

Nguvu sighed. "Kubwa. why should you go looking at all? there's plenty of space here" he growled. Kubwa looked up at his brother, having been too busy admiring the beauty of the place to have noticed his brother's hesitation. "But...I don't want to discomfort you" he growled. "Kubwa. you're my brother. Why would i be discomforted by you being here?" growled Nguvu, Kubwa smiling appreciatively. "Are you sure you won't mind?....Uzuri?" he growled, eying the Lioness, which he had long since gathered was likely Nguvu's mate...

[UndeadRaptor]

"Ok. I hate foxes like these, they're complete pests," Sharp Claw growled, looking at Lusa, who was hiding under Night, then glanced over too the dead fox. he started licking his lower jaw, trying to remove the blood staining his coat of fur, mumbling, "atleast that fox won't be coming back," barely getting the words out of his mouth as he was licking his snout.

Amani, finally finishing drinking from the stream, started going in the opposite direction it was flowing, hearing a waterfall off in the distance as the stream grew wider, as she went to hunt for unexpecting herbivores along the edge of the creek...

[Hopeflower]

"No, I don't mind," Uzuri growled with a reassuring smile.

Night grunted. "They're pests, but they're smart little b*stards. I wouldn't have caught this one before he got Lusa if I hadn't realized at the last second that his scent led in circles." Picking up the fox's carcass, she carried it out of the cave and dumped it unceremoniously, watching as it fell the considerable distance down the cliff face.

[The Kingpin]

Kubwa smiled appreciatively, lowering his head. "I promise i wo-" "Kubwa. Relax. no need to be so grateful for something like this" growled Nguvu with a smile, Kubwa chuckling. "I can't help it....I guess i just feel awful for whati've done in the past" explained the lion. "That's the past. learn to live a bit, will you?" growled Nguvu with a smirk. "Fine" responded Kubwa, though his appreciation for their acceptence was still evident both in his tone and his face. "Now. we need something to make this rock more comfortable. some grass and vines, perhaps. something to make comfortable bedding" growled Nguvu as he looked around at the cave. "If all goes well, maybe we could persuade Lusa, Night and Amani to stay here next time we see them" he growled...

[UndeadRaptor]

"Yeah, I encountered one like this a couple of weeks ago. I managed to outsmart it though, causing it to run into a bear, and get killed by it," Sharp barked, watching the lifeless body fall down the cliff. "A lion took my only home today, so I'm gonna have to find a new one. No way was I gonna stand a chance alone against a fully grown lion sleeping in my den. That's one of the reasons why I came back here," he continued with a growl, looking up at Night.

Meanwhile, Amani continued following the ever widening creek, the souds of a water fall growing larger, seeing some water raining down from a cliff. "This is a beautiful sight," she thought to herself in amazement as she finally reached to waterfall, before charging a gazelle that was drinking from the lake, not noticing the lioness nearing it...

[Hopeflower]

Night twitched one ear. "Hmm..." she growled, as if she wasn't sure whether to believe him or not.

"That'd be nice," Uzuri growled. "It'd really make the cave feel like home. And this place certainly looks big enough."

[The Kingpin]

Nguvu smirked. "We're keeping that spot though" he growled with a chuckle, pointing at the dip in the rock at the top of the incline in the back of the cave. Kubwa began to walk towards the exit of the cave, planning to gather something to make a resting spot out of...

[UndeadRaptor]

"It's ok if you don't belive me, I am telling the truth about a lion stealing my home though," Sharp Claw growled, knowing why Night wasn't trusting him. He then sat down, and glanced off, looking in the distance, watching the clouds slowly drift by.

Amani finally caught the gazelle, quickly killing it soon afterwards, and started tearing into it's flank, trying to get the liver out. Once she finally reached it, she pulled it out in her jaws, placing it on the ground, before flipping over the dead body, suddenly noticing Kubwa come out from a nearby cave, and started eating the flesh on the remaining flank of the gazelle...

[The Kingpin]

Kubwa froze as he saw Amani. "Um...Amani?" he growledas he continued walking out, curious as to what brought her back...
