Ainra was all in all your average lioness. She was sweet, innocent and fun-loving. She took each day as it came with a laid-back, peaceful attitude. She was the fish content to be carried along by the current, with no intention of ever trying to battel against it.
Her ambitions for life were nil. In fact, as far as she was concerned, hanging out in the Kusini and lazing around, playing games, was her idea of a good life. She paid no thought to having a mate, nor for having cubs, though it was clear that one thing she did want was to spend more time with her family.
So, deciding that for a moment in her life, she'd do somethign constructive, Ainra was out searching for her sister, calling out in a soft mewling sound that she hoped would be recognised.

Compared to fun-loving Ainra, her sister Ipentshisi was certainly not the easy-going type. All of her life she had sought to be the best she could, struggled towards her goals and come out on top more often than not. With a quick wit and a sharp tongue, she was definitely the less 'sweet' of the two sisters.
Ipentshisi usually spent very little time at home these days. Most of her days, and a lot of her nights, were spent wandering just outside the Kusini borders. She spent time drilling anyone on locations of other prides - which direction would lead her where. She was preparing to set out and accomplish her ultimate life goal, the one thing that she had been sure was her purpose ever since she was a small cub.
The mewling sound reached her ears, and Shisi paused mid-step. Flashing cyan eyes back in that direction, she cocked her head slightly to the side. The sound was recognized in an instant, and Shisi stopped her movements all together. She could make time for Ainra, at least. "This way," she called out, relaxing into a sitting position as she waited.

"Shisi?" Bouding towards the sound of her sister's voice, Ainra couldn't help but feel excited at the prospect of spending time with her sister. "Wait up!" She pushed herself through a thicket, wincing as the branches snatched eagerly at her face as if determined to keep her away.
Battling them with equal determination, Ainra soon broke free and was trotting across the expanse of land towards her sister.
They were very much alike in appearance, the same colour. In fact from a distance, the two sisters would look almost exactly the same, except for Ainra's tufty fur was strung with cream.
"Over here!" She called cheerfully, trotting over eagerly. "Where've you been, sissy?"

Shisi frowned slightly as she watched her sister from the distance, the batting branches obvious even from where sat. Of course, bits clung to her fur even as Ainra bounded her way, making Shisi wince slightly. It looked like the poor girl had tumbled through a briar patch, almost.
She pushed herself up gracefully to her feet as Ainra neared, moving over next to her sister, leaning to pull out a stubborn clinging branch from the other's mane tuft. After discarding it, she gave a very light shrug at her sister's question.
"I've been gathering information, actually, about other prides and where they all are," she said it calmly, as if it were nothing but idle conversation, "I think, perhaps, I may leave soon."

Giggling as she realised the state of her fur, and giving Shisi an appreciative smile. The girl shook her fur vigorously in an attempt to make herself look a little more presentable. Then, she turned her attention fully to her sister, blinking curiously.
"Information? Leave?" These were all very new things for Ainra, who hadn't even considered there might be a world outside to explore.
"Oh Sissy, do you really think there's anything that wonderful out there?" She waved a paw in the general direction of 'there'. "I mean, we have all we could ever want here and, well, really.." She hesitated. "It's more bother than it's worth. Can't you just stay with me? I don't want to be left all alone." She pouted slightly.

Shisi nodded rather approvingly at her sister's shaking - most of the loose twigs fell out, scattering on the ground around their feet. She had long since learned that there was probably no use in getting Ainra to clean her fur to perfection - she would probably just go and do the same thing all over again. It did have a certain innocent appeal, though.
"Of course there's something wonderful out there," she said softly, turning her eyes to look towards the distant horizon. Shisi's true reason for leaving was not one she would readily admit to Ainra at the moment, or to anyone. They would find out soon enough. "Haven't you ever wondered what other lands look like? A beach, a jungle?" She managed to make her eyes grow slightly wider with each word, her voice whispery. She was truly becoming a master of the art of manipulation.
"Come with me then, you don't have to stay here alone," she said finally, a soft smirk curling the corner of her mouth, "come see all the new places with me."

Ainra didn't really know what a beach or a jungle was, but she nodded and tried her best to look interested. Besides, the way Shisi spoke about them in that whispery way made them intriguing. Ainra could almost imagine odd, magical lands just from her sister's way of speaking.
She watched her tail tuft twitch as if it had a life of it's own, letting her thoughts wander.
"Go with you?" Her voice was almost detached, as if she wasn't quite sure what was being asked of her. She thought of Tiruan then and her smile faded a little. She did have a purpose here, small as it might be. She was teaching him to play!
"You'd really want me tagging along? I might just slow you down and...well...it all sounds a bit frightening." More frightening than being alone?
"Would we come back here?"
