What are your plans for Heknu? I both love old PL blood and En Gedi, and would think it fitting for such a transfer of already traditionally familial and close pride members to an even closer bonded pride. I would simply want Heknu to be satisfied with where they end up in the En Gedi and settle there, perhaps fuse some of her PL heritage with the new ones learned in the En Gedi. Not sure if I could find or think of anything dramatic for her, but I would be up to that if an opportunity appears; mostly, I'd rather her life to be quite happy and peaceful.
Do you accept she cannot leave her sister or the En Gedi? Yes!

Prompt Response: A multitude of seasons had seemed to pass the two lionesses on their long journey from Pride Rock. It was the last thing Heknu had seen of her home, but also the first thing that gave her the encouragement and spirit to move her on her travel with Hesit.

Heknu had been content with the Pridelanders - perhaps even a little too intertwined with the society and the assumed bond between all members. But there were quite a number to actually remember - even though she had started learning names and faces since she was a budding and eager cub, there was some sense of loss in the populous yet scattered pride. There could possibly have been somewhere else - somewhere that housed lions with similar ideals, but in a smaller community. Perhaps her talents of dancing and singing would even be the norm there. And that concept - that whim was the driving force for Heknu and Hesit's present journey.

So the two grew weary but resilient paws on their trek, passing by some prides, some packs, some scattered groups... But none matched the level of paradise envisioned in Heknu's mind. Hesit sometimes stopped to say she would be content in simply settling for less than what they imagined, but Heknu knew those words were out of kindness and respect to everything they encountered. So Heknu made it clear that they were not to stop until they had found something... more.

There had been many tales of this one pride - the En Gedi, which had many lions rich in their gold and brown pelts - this sparked the interest of Heknu, who immediately remembered her own vibrant and golden pride. The two were lucky to have run into strangers that told them of the place, but quite recently, the two had trouble running into those with the same knowledge of the pride. As Heknu was naturally apt and intelligent, she knew the general direction the two were supposed to go. But, intelligence only goes so far, and they had been walking in practically the middle of nowhere for quite some time. Heknu told herself and Hesit that she was confident they were well on their way, but...

Heknu realized rather abruptly that she, in actuality, did not know where they were going. In that moment, she stopped, gathering a suspiciously concerned look from Hesit.

"What?" Hesit inquired, eyes alight with curiosity, "Did you see something?"

Heknu mumbled out loud instinctively; it was a habit, as she was usually the one who led - which meant she was usually the one who had the answers. But there were none, and the two were considerably lost. That was the only answer. It took no time for Hesit to understand Heknu's unspoken words and expression.

"We're lost, aren't we?" Hesit said simply, though retaining a supportive smile in spite of the problem.

"We are," Heknu replied accordingly, shaking her head.

And the problem all seemed to fall on Heknu's shoulder - Heknu had been the one to lead them out of the pridelands, and definitely had been the one to lead them so far to the En Gedi. It was Heknu who took responsibility for their direction, as she felt lost if she was not the one who controlled the situation. But now was a difficult situation in which despite her control of the situation, she still found herself lost with Hesit.

"We'll just keep on going," Heknu said.

She was not one to flounder while time passed by needlessly in a situation. She felt the weight of the responsibility for the two of them on her shoulders, but she would not fall to it. She knew they were close, and that their new lives would soon be revealed. She knew they could not continue on this journey without her lead. And so, she would act and lead now, despite being lost, without regret for what may come.

What are your plans for Heknu?
When they join the pride, Likely, I can see Heknu being a bit on edge, but calming as soon as she and her sister are accepted. I think she’ll likely be a Mummer in the pride, and I intend on her following such a path, to grow her and her sister’s art. She’ll be very overprotective, and critical of any males that approach her sister, and very lost when any male tries to approach her. Basically, she’ll be her sister’s leader without really leading, and treat her in such a way as befitting a big sister.
I may have some big event come along, like Heknu getting injured, or something, to kind of see what happens between her and her sister, were something like that to happen, but that’s just random speculation >> Ignore the wishling.
Do you accept she cannot leave her sister or the En Gedi?
Completely.

Prompt Response:

If you were to ask the two Lionesses who were rehearsing a routine in the middle of the savannah just WHAT they were doing, the one seeming to be doing the directing would likely tell you that it was something very important, and to leave them be. Henku was proud of her work, and her sister’s for that matter. They were good dancers, and superb singers, and she loved that it reflected so well. Of course….Heknu had noticed something strange this morning. When they’d woken, Hesit had been oddly distracted, her eyes distant and her moves more clumsy than usual. This did not sit well with the self-proclaimed older of the two. Green eyes watched her sister’s movements with careful criticism as the other femme seemed to stumble over herself. This worried Heknu greatly. She was going to end up getting-

And that thought process was cut off as halfway through the finale, her prediction proved true. Hesit tripped, twisting her paw about and making Heknu cry out in fear for her sister’s well-being. Running over to the other lioness, she lathed her tongue gently over the newly acquired injury, a frown on her maw. This wouldn’t have happened if Hesit had gotten her head in the act instead of dreaming. Such thoughts mulled about in the golden lioness’ mind as she carefully examined her sister’s paw for lasting damage. She couldn’t have Hesit hurt for good. No….That would be very bad. ”….What’s in your head, Hesit. You’re not usually like this…”

The vacant half-smile that she got in answer worried the lioness further. If she and Hesit were going to make it out here, they needed to be healthy and alert. She glanced about, huffing, ”You’re going to need to rest.” It sounded like she knew what she was talking about, even if the once Pridelander was only taking a stab in the dark. Her sharp gaze found a cave in the distance….or what looked like one, that would make a good resting point for she and Hesit. They’d need to get their strength up, after all, if they wanted to keep going. Supporting her sister, she led her to what turned out to be a cave-like overhang. Situating themselves in the crag, she wrapped herself around her sister, cuddling her gently.

Heknu’s tongue ran over her sister’s ear, and she sighed softly, “I swear….You can’t afford to space out like that. But no matter what happens to you, we’ll be together. “ She noted that Hesit’s eyes were closed when she said that, and felt the other’s breathing even out. Maybe she was just tired or something. No matter. Heknu knew that even as tired and lost as she was about what to do….she had to keep playing the game, had to keep being the leader and making sure that Hesit was safe. They were sisters after all.

For what is stronger in this world than a bond of familial blood? Heknu didn’t know, but she knew that at this moment, she didn’t care….Dammit……Hesit just had to go sprain her paw, didn’t she? Well…one day’s rest wouldn’t kill them…and maybe her head would be in the routine tomorrow.

What are your plans for Heknu?

Not really sure, though I'd be more than happy to bounce back and forth over any ideas~
I would like to do something confrontational at some point though so far as RP goes. The sisters are both so easy going it'd be nice to put them in a situation that would force them to be at odds with one another for them to have to work through it. :3

Do you accept she cannot leave her sister or the En Gedi?

Yes.

Prompt Response:

Tails swishing and shaking roughly, the two sisters Henku and Hesit shook off the morning dew from their pelts as they stretched and yawned. Hesit sat and watched her sister paw at the ground, "What is it?"

"You know, we've been doing the same routines for ages. We should try something new," the brighter-coated lioness humphed. She felt a bit...restless. Maybe it was from the wandering, but a new act with her sister would certainly shake her anxiety away.
Hesit nodded, eager to agree with her partner. She also thought it would be nice to have something different to focus on, "What did you have in mind?"

Henku paused, thinking, then sang, "Wandering far
The gypsy birds sing
Their feathers glistening like a moonlit--thing." she sighed and her sister chuckled.

"Haven't lost your touch have you?"

"Oh, don't start with me you!" Henku growled playfully, nudging her sister.

"Or what? You'll send my flying? Like a gypsy bird? Ooooo, I'm scared!" Hesit teased, squirming her way under her sister as if she were trying to hide.

Henku laughed heartily; leave it to her sister to make her feel like a cub again. She was glad she had a partner, the lioness would have gone crazy being alone all this time. She shoved her sister out from under her and took off, trotting over the savanna.

"C'mon, let's go! We'll think of something better on the way."

After WAY too much deliberation and indecisiveness on my part, I've finally made a decision!

The winner of Heknu is..........
