			             The sky over Zahina Plains began to darken as clouds rolled in, beginning to gray and turn to rain clouds. Audra was prowling, hunting for prey that she may be able to catch on her own. The lioness had already missed four chances, hunting on ones own was incredibly difficult, especially for adolescents her age. 
 That was another thing she was doing, looking for a place she could call home, maybe in a pride. She could only hope, but as one slippery boar proved it nearly turned that hope into desperation. Hunting with more lionesses would certainly help her gain some needed weight.

			            Andais perches in her tree enjoying the rain. She hates heat with a passion, so this is much needed relief. She watches another lioness try , key word, to hunt. Andais always hunts at night. Andais lets out a laugh at, her pitiful attempt.

			            Audra's round ears perked when the sound of laughter reached her through the light rain. With furrowed eyebrows she looked around, soon finding the source of the obnoxious and what she thought somewhat snobbish behavior. It was a dark lioness with faded red on her face and forelegs. "Excuse me?" Audra said, looking up at her, her stormy eyes reflecting that of the sky.

			             She just laughs in her tree " You can't catch ANYTHING can you!" Andais lounges upside down on her branch. "You should just hunt at night. Though I guess you wouldn't blend to well. Ah well keep doing what you are doing then." Andais laughs again.

			            Audra snorted at the taunting. "I can to catch things. And when I do at least my prey is awake and there's some sport in it, whereas you just wait for them to sleep. Yeah, that's real skill." She scoffed, looking back out to try and spot more prey. "I bet your pride is real proud."

			            "Looking like a fool is part of growing." Audra quickly replied. "I catch enough prey to live on during the day and I bet if I wanted to I could catch more at night as you do. I also bet you couldn't catch a thing with the sun up." A challenge. The young lioness followed the other with her eyes. "Then that's something we have in common."

			             Andais tosses back " That sounded profound except for growing up for me happened to many years ago. And I bet you don't know a THING about hiding at night, like where they live for starters. Wait! You lose your prey into their homes enough times, maybe you DO know where they live. And I don't have to hunt a night, why would I?" Andais says all of this lounging in the tree feeling very smug. When she hears the last comment she just raises a brow lets murmured "hmmm"

			            Audra's ears flatten against her cranium at the lioness's next words. "That just proves you're incapable of hunting during the day. I can hunt day or night. You said it yourself, I see them run to their homes so much that I do happen to know where to look at night." The stormy gray lioness began to turn to wait for nightfall before stopping in mid step. "Or are you too proud to admit you can't hunt during the day?"

 Arikaru stared out from his perch in the branches, watching the females converse. He chuckled deep in his throat, a rather melodic sound. "Such fine ladies to be out in this grievous sunlight, and so near the time of storms." He said with a smile, showing canines.
