[PRP - East] Lessons in Life

[Andranis]

Xian Mao had left their birth pride to find his errant brothers, and had, in the process, found that the oldest of his rather many younger brothers had sired and raised a litter. Pleasantly, they were raised by his and Xian Ting's mother's ideals, and the oldest of the littler, Jian, already had a good mind, something Mao liked the idea of. After all, he didn't want to leave their family in the paws of an idiot. And as far as he could tell, Chen was a bit of an idiot... The middle brother and cub did stupid things without thinking, and-- He stopped his thoughts, pausing as he walked. "Oh... Hello, there!" Somehow, in their walk across the East House to find... Well, anybody, they'd happened upon a lion trying to do math. He looked at his two brothers, smiling at them. "We've found the edge of the House's living area, I'd say!"

Behind the cobalt-blue lion stood two lions that seemed the living embodiment of yin and yang. Xian Ting was the older, and as far as most of their family had treated him, the least liked, of the twins. And here he was, staring at a lion their home-pride would have called a black-souled lion... With a silver lining they'd have stamped out fast with poor treatment. Instead, though, this lion looked frustrated for less harsh reasons. He frowned, passing his older brother to look over the other lion's shoulder. "What are you doing...?"

"Ting! That's rude to just barge in like that!" Not that he was one to talk. Ming walked over, flanking his dark twin for a moment, before standing on the lion's other side. "It looks like he's trying to do math..." He crouched down, offering the lion a smile. "May I help? I'm not very good at it, myself, but I might be able to translate it into a manner that can be understood." He then smiled brightly. "Mao taught me a good way to do that!"

Which, speaking of Mao... The blue lion walked over, before grabbing his brothers by their ears and yanking them both away. "Will you two stop that?! You can't just barge up to lions you don't kno-- Ming, stop looking at me like that!" He sighed, rubbing the bridge of the nose. "I'm sorry about my brothers... Ting has no manners and Ming... Well, at least he didn't HUG you... The last one nearly took his head off!"
