 It was hot. It was always hot in the desert but today seemed especially hot to the juvenile. Her deep red coat seemed to soak up the sun and just make things worse, putting her in an irritable mood. At the moment she was curled up under an outcropping trying to use the meager shade to stay warm. As she laid in the sands she watched other lion’s go by, most being bigger and stronger than her. Seeing her pride mates made her feel safe, they were like a large family and would protect each other if needed. Her mind wandered to a specific white lion in the pride and she rolled her eyes. Oh, Iroh, he seemed nice but it was like every time they met up something bad happened.
Her mind drifted away from that thought not quite grabbing on to another. Her green eyes half-closed as she laid there, her mind lost in half-formed thoughts.

 The sun didn't appear to be feeling very merciful today, the heat was nearly unbearable. Granted it was always hot, this was another level of hot. He thanked the gods that he had been granted with a his father's pelt more than his mother's. He wasn't sure he would be able to last in the desert with her dark, black pelt. Even now with the small bits of black and the dark red were a toll on his small body.
He knew however that in time, he would grow accustom to the heat, as he was learning to everything else. He had recently gotten used to the sudden increase in members from the former traditionalists.
A part of him was suspicious that they suddenly decided to 'reform' and join the 'rebels', but he was still young and he figured that as long as they weren't causing trouble, then they weren't a problem. Besides that one Safi female he had met...what was her name?
Ah! Yes, it was Kenina. He was glad that she had followed her family and moved. Although she disrupted his daily plans whenever they came across each other he enjoyed her company for the most part. She was intelligent and as such, enjoyable to talk to, most of the time.
It was refreshing to have someone to have debates with.
Now Xipil wasn't entirely sure of what he was doing, he planned on training himself, working his body out to prepare himself for the time when he found the right soldier to apprentice under. He knew his time was running out but still, he needed what time he had to figure it out.
"Where to train...where to train..." He mused aloud.

Tezo was brought out of her moody thoughts by another lion's voice nearby her shady spot. Opening one green eye fully she looked around until she spotted a lion about her age, only bigger because he was a male and born into the pride. She could tell by his build, she always felt a little inferior to those who were born into the Firekin, knowing she would never be quite as big as them. Luckily for her her father had been large for a rogue, so she wasn't as small as she could be, but still she didn't quite compare to pure blooded desert lions. Her thoughts shifted and for a moment she couldn't help but wonder how her father and sisters were doing, she didn't regret being taken by her mother one bit, but she did miss them sometimes. It had been nice to have a big family around her for the short period of time it had lasted.
Shaking her head she pushed herself up to her paws, she decided she'd bother this lion who she heard to distract herself from the small pang of home sickness she had. Stepping out from the meager shade she cringed the sun's heat unmerciful to her dark coat. She stepped quickly, the sands were hot as well, but quietly half crouched. Sneaking up behind him she shifted her weight before throwing herself at him. The two bodies tumbled head over paws and she ended up on top of the boy, paws pinning him to the sand, head tilted as she stared down at him. "What're you training for?"

Xipil's thoughts were still centered around training and since he was so deep in his thoughts he had let his guard down. It was never a good thing to do so, especially for an inspiring soldier or anyone in an army so to speak. So when Tezo's body collided into his he was caught completely off guard and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise as he tumbled through the ground uncontrollably.
He landed with a solid 'thud' with his head smacking down against the ground. despite the sand the impact hurt and he let that little fact be knowing with a heavy groan. "Ugh...what...what just happened?" he questioned to the air more-so than the female that had him pinned to the ground. In fact he hadn't even registered the weight of another until she spoke.
Immediately his eyes shot open and he lifted his head, an action he quickly regretted because it triggered a pounding in his head that could only be known as a headache. "Owwwww," he groan squeezing his eyes shut in a desperate attempt to stop his head from pounding.
When he tried to roll over and found that he couldn't move as freely as he should've been able to, well it registered to him that there was still a person, er lion, on top of him.
"Who are you?" he asked once he actually opened his eyes and looked at her. Still though, he left her question unanswered. "And why are you on top of me?"
