The young juvenile Satomei was sprawled out on a rock. It was purposely chosen, well within the range of her family's den and it still gave her a pretty good view of the pride. She wasn't really watching the pride though, her eyes closed and her body soaking up the sunlight which streamed down from the sky. It was a bright and clear day, perfect for napping in the sun but the youth couldn't force herself to sleep. Her mind was racing.
Her Uncle had spoken to her about the possibilities she could take when she was older. What rank would she choose? She just...didn't know. She sighed, slumping further into the rock. She knew she didn't have to decide now, but still, what would she do? Her mother told her that she would find something she enjoyed but Satomei didn't really enjoy anything. She only really liked spending time with her mother or Uncle.
She huffed, and opened her eyes. There were too many choices in life. What was she going to do? She groaned and rolled over, flopping from the rock onto the ground. It didn't hurt, considering she landed on some grass, but it probably wasn't a clever plan. It hit her in a way that knocked her breath from her, but she didn't mind, laying instead on the grass. Why couldn't things be easier?

Satomei could hear someone approaching, but knew she was in no danger, since whoever was in the pride had to know better than to attack a juvenile, and especially one who had ties to the royal blood line. Admittedly, her blood was sullied by that of a mysterious father, but still, she possessed some of the same genes as her uncle, so clearly she was safe from bullies or others in the pride.
However, just to make sure, she shifted, and peeked out, spotting a familiar form. Oh! Well, now she knew she was safe. The female cheetah – moving so gracefully that Satomei stared at her enviously -was her aunt, or rather, her uncle's mate. She didn't know if that really made her Satomei's Aunt but that's what she told people who asked.
She got to her feet, careful to brush off any grass or twigs that might be clinging to her, before she stepped out to reveal herself to her aunt. “Hello Lady Nyoka,” she greeted her politely, ducking her head in a sort-of bow to the queen of the pride, before smiling a little, hoping she didn't mind Satomei's intrusion into her private walk.

Satomei beamed, proud that her aunt had remembered her name. See? She was important! She was her Uncle's favourite and worthy enough that her Aunt remembered the name of a hybrid! She listened politely to her Aunt's words, before smiling slightly. "You're a very busy cheetah, Lady Nyoka," she excused the fact that she hadn't met all of Satomei's siblings yet, despite they were growing older. "It's perfectly understandab-ble." She tried to mimic some of Nanashi's talk, but she was still young and she stumbled over the longer word, flushing slightly in embarrassment.
"Oh, I wanted to watch the pride and get in some sun bathing hours," she admitted, before gesturing behind her. "I'm not too far from mama, if she needs me." Or I need her, she thought to herself, glancing back at the pridal lands. She was adventurous as a juvenile, but not that adventurous. Some of the people in the pride still made her nervous, and she knew better than to go off on her own.
