Hadithi eyed the cave's entrance, wondering how much she would hurt him if he went in. Probably a lot... Not that Misae was violent, not in the least, but a pregnant lioness in one of her "moods" wasn't something that aught to be disturbed. He'd somehow managed to set her off this morning, though he still wasn't entirely sure how, but Hadithi tried not to mind. It did, after all, take two to "tango" and thus her predicament was partially his fault. Besides, he didn't mind the moods so very much, especially as Misae was always, genuinely sorry for them--she just couldn't help it.
Probably best not to try it, he decided in the end. It wasn't as if he didn't have other places to go or things to do, only that he liked to spend as much time with her as possible. Maybe she was just snappish because she needed space? Deciding that it seemed like a good idea to try, the lion finally turned and made his way back into the jungle from whence he'd come. A scent on the breeze made his head turn and he was suddenly reminded of the other male in the area. He hadn't heard from Kere since before Misae had left and returned!
Hadithi hadn't really worried about the male's absence; he'd thought there no reason to. Nothing dangerous seeming had come up, and Kere had himself said he wished to spend time with the muses, or at least Hadithi thought he'd said that. While he wasn't sure, not really, it seemed like something Kere would have said and thus Hadithi went with it, whether or not it was the truth. He had time now, though, Hadithi thought, so why not go and find him?
But where had the scent come from? That was a hard thing to decipher and the Ocean, having no means of land travel, hadn't an idea how to help him. "Have you seen where Kere's gone?" He asked the flowers and trees about him, in turn, but no one spoke of it. How odd. The shoreline could be ruled out, Hadithi thought, since he had been up and down it many times the past few weeks and hadn't caught sight nor scent of him. By that same thought so too could the area near the pride's main den. So, he set off towards the back of the cove, deciding it would be the most obvious place to check.

Feeling refreshed after the rains, Kereng'ende had decided he was hungry. And that a nice fat fish would be the best way to end that hunger. So, he'd taken himself to one of the little streams he'd found.
Now, he was standing, and staring intently at the water, waiting for the telltale flash of silvery-blue to tell him that a fish was swimming near enough to catch.
"C'mon, little fish," he crooned softly. "I know you're there somewhere...."
And then.... THERE! Without a second thought, Kere pitched himself nose first into the water, claws and jaws chasing after his scaly dinner. It was the work of moments, but he had his fish. locking his jaws around the wriggly creature, the black lion climbed out of the water nd shook himself off before setting into his meal.

Ears flattening slightly in embarassment, Kere cleared his throat and shuffled his paws about. He hadn't expected to be asked to sing it to anyone but himself and the Rain. Still, the very least he could do for Hadithi was to oblige. So, clearing his throat again, he began to sing in a quiet voice, gaining volume as his confidence grew.
"Drip, drip, drop Little jungle shower Beating a tune As you fall all around
Drip, drip, drop Little jungle shower What can compare To your beautiful sound
Drip, drip, drop When the sky is cloudy Your pretty music Can brighten the day
Drip, drip, drop When the sun says hello You say goodbye right away
Drip, drip drop Little jungle shower Beating a tune Ev'rywhere that you fall
Drip, drip drop Little jungle shower I'm getting wet And I don't care at all
Drip, drop, drip, drop I'll never be afraid Of a good little Gay little jungle serenade"

Hadtihi's smile matched Kere's, his but wriggling in his normal fashion of happiness. It was strange, perhaps, but it was him. "soon enough," He grinned, practically reeking of happy. "I can't wait. they're going to be so cuuute!" He paused, considering, "well, they'll love to play with their Uncle, i'm sure, but only after Misae lets them come outside. Lionesses can be.... very territorial the first few days." He chuckled softly, looking up at his newly found 'brother'.
