So far, so good. He wasn't sick and none of his litter mates seemed to be sick either. Life was looking up for him, but not for the pride. That's alright, though, they had new members joining, not sick and producing cubs that had a chance of changing the pride, a chance at being immune and somehow ending the illness that was destroying lives.
However, Utpala couldn't be sad all the time. Sure, his heart panged when he heard a family member of a friend died, or that someone he knew died painfully, but he was young, healthy and going to ask permission to leave the pride and bring back cubs like his father.
All of his litter mates and half siblings knew their father. He'd stayed home for a long, long time to make sure all of his cubs were safe. Months, even. They saw him every day and Utpala actually played with him near every day. Today, however, he was looking for a little bro time with the elusive Oisin. So, up to the den he walked and called into the cave.
"Oi, Oisin! Get out here. I'm going to show you something really freaking cool!"

Though Oisin was disease free, unlike his brother and the rest of his family, Oisin was elusive. He kept to himself and rarely talked unless he absolutely needed to. He stayed away from his family most of the time, hanging out in the den and entertaining himself. He too was planning on asking to take on his fathers 'job', once he was out of the pride, he wasn't planning on coming back.
During the day, he rarely interacted with his family unless he had to. He spent his time hiding out from them until dinner time rolled around, where he'd eaten and then scurry back into hiding. Today he was doing what he usually did around this time, hiding as far back as he could in the cave, behind a rock, licking at one of his paws.
An ear perked and he rolled his eyes when he heard the voice of his brother. Looking back, he squinted from the light coming in from outside. "What is it?"

"Well you have to come out to find out," Utpala snorted, watching inside of the den for signs of his brother. Even with the white on him his darker brother was always, always hard to find. Sighing, he stepped inside of the den and peeked around, seeing nothing really because his eyes weren't acclimated right now.
It couldn't be healthy not getting much sunlight, and he was sure, from what someone told him, that it lead to depression. "We're going to the water hole for somethin'. Come on!" He wasn't taking no for an answer. Once the elder of the twins decided something, nothing could change his mind. There might be nothing at the water hole, there might be something, but he wasn't spilling his guts.
Actually what Utpala wanted to do was ogle at this fellow pride member girl who was really good looking, according to this adolescent. He wanted to know if Oisin was straight or what. He never showed interest in anyone, so he figured it'd be a good experiment.

Oisin watched his brother for a moment, raising a brow, before shaking his head and sighing. God, his brother was an idiot. "Nope." He said, curling back up and glaring at the wall as he waited for his brother to go away, tail flicking, thoroughly annoyed that someone would interrupt him in doing... Well, he wasn't really doing anything, but he was still irritated that he was interrupted. Though really, Oisin was usually irritated at everything.
"Sounds really dumb." He said. "What is it, anyway? I"m not goin' if you don't tell me what it is." He said, preening at himself. He was fine in his cave, and if Utpala didn't like that then that was just fine. He didn't really care. Oisin was just fine in his cave. He was a little skinny, but he was fine.

Oisin groaned, rubbing his face a little before getting up, back letting out a loud crack as he stood. He let out a groan and sulked out, squinting a bit at his brother, ears pinned back and head low.
He sighed, walking over to Utpala and groaned. "Alright, c'mon." He said, walking towards the watering hole, wrinkling his nose. "Its so damn bright out here..." He mumbled to himself, walking with a slight limp from being so stiff. "Ugh, I don't know how to do it. It's hot and bright and dusty and theres no shade and it smells bad."

Oisin sighed, rolling his eyes. "I won't get it. Don't you think theres a reason I don't hang around with anyone? Jeez, you're an idiot sometimes." He said, tail flicking. Oisin was a bit of a germaphobe, in fact. He might not be able to leave the tribe, but he could at least get away as much as he possibly could.
He sighed, sitting down and blinked towards the female, before looking back to Utpala, and than the woman. Groaning, he got up. "I'm done. I'll see you at dinner." He said, heading back towards the cave, knowing that his brother would probably follow. Oh well, at least he'd be out of the sun.
No, Oisin wasn't interested in females. Or anyone else for that matter. Though, as he wandered back, he did let his eyes linger on another male, for the briefest part of a moment, before his gaze shot right back to the cave.
