 Chizoba was no stranger to colds. He'd had them before. The irritating cough, fevers, the sense of tiredness and the irritability of not feeling at one's peak. But this was unlike any cold he'd ever had before. He was getting chills and his joints ached.
Maybe he was just stiff from sleeping on the hard floor of the den, it was a lot more cramped with the new cubs around. Maybe he was just cold. He hadn't been out in the sun yet. He wondered if he could summon the energy to bound out of the den like he did every morning. Chizoba would have to, if he didn't his family would know something was wrong.
He dragged himself to his paws, plastered a grin to his face and flew outside joyfully like he did every morning. He forced his paws to keep going till he was far enough from the den that his siblings wouldn't stumble over him before flopping onto the ground. Well he wasn't warming up, even after a run in the sun, and now his joints ached more then they did before. This wasn't good.

 The day had been progressing slowly for Ihsan. A long morning actually, what with her doing her best to avoid coming into contact with too many other members of the pride. It wasn't that she couldn't socialize and all that, but she was determined not to come into contact too often with the disease. It was bad enough that the plague was a natural thing in the area, so why go and mingle with others who could probably increase your risk of getting infected? She was perfectly healthy so far, so avoiding them seemed to be the thing to do at the moment. She'd probably be doing this until she figures out her condition in terms of the plague's affect on her. Once she figures that out, then she'll start getting more.. out there. Maybe.
Currently, the white-pelted female was weaving through a large-ish patch of tall grass, trying her best to stay out of sight. She wasn't doing a very good job, since the grass was shifting to accomodate for the space she was taking up between the leaves, so if someone was looking at that particular patch of tall grass it was rather obvious that there was someone inside. She did, however, maintain her anonymity for the time being.
Soon enough she found that she was out of the grass and, much to her dismay, facing a lion that was currently flopped down and looking rather....unhealthy. At least from just looking at him she could kind of tell that he was most likely under the weather a little. Which didn't bode for her or her plan of avoiding any possibly-unhealthy lions until she could figure out what was going on with her.
She was probably too young to contract the disease anyway. She had yet to see any cubs or juves sick, so the disease, if you are infected, probably started to hit you after you got a little older. Probably.. hopefully. Maybe?
Probably.
She was a cub though, and even if she did have a semi-solid plan on how to avoid getting sick for as long as possible, she had the curiosity of a cub. So, without waiting for much longer after observing the aforementioned lion for a minute or so, she poked him and spoke up.
"Hey.." she said, nudging his arm a bit with her paw. "Are you alive?"

Chizoba heard crunching coming nearer. It wasn't very loud crunching so the animal must be quite small. Perhaps if he kept his eyes closed and his head on his paws they'd think he was napping and leave him alone. However when he heard the young girl's voice asking if he were dead he couldn't bring himself to continue the charade.
"No I'm not dead. I'm trying to nap." In reality he was resting from how much his joints ached from running all the way out here. The sun wasn't seeming to have a great affect on his chills. "Was there something you needed help with?" he picked his head up off his paws and peered at her.

The sudden reply from a lion she had originally thought was dead elicited a small "yip" from the cub, and she took a step back. After re-composing herself though, and realizing that the lion was, in fact, still alive as he claimed to be, she sighed and stepped forward to where she had been standing moments earlier. "Oh.." was all she said for a bit, and she took a seat.
His question made her think a bit. Why had she bothered him? Was it because she was curious to see what a dead body looked like? Or maybe she wanted some company? Her brows furrowed in thought, and when she finally came up with a reply she simply shrugged. "I dunno.. I don't think so though." Ah, a truly cub-like response, which was certainly appropriate considering she was, well... a cub. The young lioness then smiled slightly and presented a question of her own. "What are you doing out in the middle of nowhere taking a nap?"
