She came with noise. Like any other place that she went.
Every where she walked she had her shakers, and as she walked she could always heard the same rattle that she loved to hear, the same rattle that she heard everywhere that she went. She knew where she was going. The lake was always a nice place to head and spend some time. She loved going there, it was a nice place to just think and even meet up with some of the other pride members some times.
Her mind was on Aapep though... He consumed a lot of her thoughts lately. She loved him so much and she was really hopping that soon he would be joining her for good in this pride. Even his mother along, it was a nice thought. But that wasn't the only thing that she was thinking of, cubs too. She hadn't really talked to him that much about having cubs but it sure was something that she wanted, she wanted to carry on the Nchi blood. She wanted to teach some one other than strangers. She wanted to teach her own blood.
Something caught her attention from her thoughts as she walked. A brown figure moving in the water. She paused for a moment watching it before realizing what, or who, it was. Kitambi, the new queen of the pride. She really didn't know the female that good, but she wanted to get to know her better that was for sure. A smile grew on her face as she walked a little closer to the water's shore. "Hello Kitambi!" She called out with a soft smile growing on her lips.

The sound of shakers breaking the silence made Kitambi look up, and she spotted the familiar lioness coming her way. Though they did not know each other intimately, they had been born around the same time, and grown up with the pride. Only their sisters shared the same sort of growing up together experience, though she doubted that Waseme remembered it well. Certainly, though, she knew who Mawi Mai was. Her mother had always been very pleased with Isithunzi’s children, and had spoken of them many times.
She offered Mawi a small smile, moving to stand in shallower waters so the other lioness did not have to come in deep if she did not want to. “Hello Mawi. How are you this morning?” Despite the fact that she now held the title she had been waiting for, Kitambi, like her mother before her, did not encourage any sort of formality. A pride needed a leader to take charge and make sure everyone was alright, but they didn’t really need their members bowing down to them or anything. It made life so difficult.

"Yeah, not surprising though. My mother never thought too highly of males, but I think if we want the pride boys to grow up well then they need some male role models. Juke is a very one, but he can't be the only one that the lions should look up to." While Juke's boys had grown up well – Kitambi remembered meeting both of them – she knew that the times had changed since the only pride males were Juke and his sons. Binafsi had two sons, Isithunzi had sons, and perhaps even she would have sons. It was high time that all these boys had someone to whip them into shape.
Mawi's question surprised her, however Kitambi did not seem offended by it. Her mother's ways were known throughout the pride, and it had not surprised her (or probably many of the members) when she had chosen to spend some time travelling with Sen. The white lioness had been in the pride lands often enough that she was practically part of the pride. Still, while Kitambi had never really needed her mother, it would have been nice to have her around. "I haven't since she left, no, but I didn't expect anything. She'll probably return only when she's had her fill of the outside world. She and Sen are probably bothering all the prides they come across. Has your mother ever said anything about wanting to visit other prides?"

Mawi Mai nodded to the other female a smile spreading on her face. "Its always fun to do that, teaching the little ones." Even when she was younger she remembered going out and running into others, teaching them about music, telling them about rhythm, however the only one she could really think of actually keeping up with it was Aapep and look where they are now. A smile grew on her face again before she looked at the other female again.
"I would be looking forward to it." She nodded at the idea. "It's always been a dream of mine to tell the truth, the only thing is my sister is also there that is learning. I love my sister, but I do really hope for that chance at the spot." She admitted with a shrug. She did love her sister oh so much, but it was one of the things that she had been striving for since she was little, be up there in ranks and teach others...
"What do you think of your new rank?" She asked with a curious look on her face. She was interseted on what she though of it, she didn't really like Nsundu that well, and she was hoping maybe it would be good to get to know Kitambi a little more.

Mawi Mai was a little spaced out for a moment, she stared forward thinking about all the time she spent with her drum, with her mother and sister learning. For a nice amount of time there wasn't that many cubs around interested into the drumming parts of life. Somedays it would just be herself, her sister and her mother. She missed those days some times. Before those seven cubs came into their lives. At first she hated it, just now she was starting to get used to them. They were almost full grown, something she could put up with. Err put up with a little better.
She almost didn't notice the other female talking once again, she snapped herself out of it right away. She didn't want to come off as rude. She smiled and nodded, catching onto what she was saying. "Thank you, I agree, me and my sister are too close to let something like that get in the middle of us." She chuckled slightly. She knew that her and her sister were very close, nothing ever got inbetween them. Even Mawi getting a mate, nothing stopped them.
Mawi Mai chuckled and nodded to the other lioness. "That is a good ending." She grinned her smile growing more. She really never met the other female, well as far as she knew, she didn't remember meeting her. She wouldn't be surprised if she when she was very young but some times she couldn't even remember what she had for dinner a week ago. She chuckled for a moment before nodding. "Its good that she also ended up a leader of a pride." She flashed the female a grin.

Kitambi nodded her head. "My mother told me about you two." She had sometimes been jealous of the tight knit families that had lived in the Nchi'mahadhi lands, especially in the beginning. Then it had just been her mother, her sister, and the few lionesses and their families that had come with her. Juke and Muujiza had their cubs, and formed one close-knit family. Isithunzi's cubs were the best of friends, and even Vinya's cubs found their own place with the support of their mother and their siblings. It would have been nice, she had thought, to have such support from her sibling. But one could not dwell on the past. If it had not been exactly like that she would never have become who she was today.
"Indeed. It suits her needs, and she will lead our allied pride well." She didn't have the heart to tell Mawi that it hadn't done anything to fix the crevice between them. But Waseme had to be Waseme, just as Kitambi had to be Kitambi. She could only be content in the knowledge that her younger sister grew up not worrying about such things as being heir. Kitambi would be fortunate indeed if her litter contained only one girl. No fights between siblings for the position of heir. It would make her and Mtembei's life much, much easier.
"I should be getting back to my den now. Mtembei wanted to go over some rhythm lessons, and I would hate to make him wait too long for me." She smiled. "It was very nice talking with you, Mawi. I wish you the best of luck with Aepep."
