~Lunch time~
Vitani worked hard, and long, since that morning. Zira had not even given her time to properly nurse her own wounds. Nope, zira said that if they could not be proper leaders, then they would work in the slave pits with the rest of the filth the outlanders used for labor, until they'd learned her lesson. She worked with many hyenas, a one-eyed cheetah, and some rough-looking buffalo, to clear out another termite mound. Her wounds pained her terribly, and the dirt and sweat did not help them. Still, she gritted her teeth, working on through the tears and anger, never thinking of stopping. Not until she'd earned pentance, and was allowed another go at that human. That filthy, treacherous, back-stabbing, irresistable human.
Raf sat in his own private cave, wincing and grunting with agony as he treated the wounds in his ankle, and set it up in a boot. Various other scrapes and cuts had been treated, the bruises would heal. His shredded shirt fell off on the way home, a good 65% of his pants being torn to bits or amputated as well. The vest had saved him, though it too was deeply furrowed with claw and teeth marks. There would be no hard labor for him, luckly. His bruised side pained him too much, that he did not think he could lift much more than 20 lbs. without injuring himself. His thoughts drifted back to the two lionesses, the duo that twice very nearly ended him.... And more specifically the female with the bangs. He wondered why she'd relaxed in his grip, when he'd grabbed her neck. She seemed to almost like it... Until she figured out what it would mean if he'd completed his task. He grinned again, weakly. He would like to face them again, and soon.

Vitani ignored the obvious statement, not wanting to open her mouth, for fear that she would snap at him. After almost 10 minutes of digging, she stopped when the call for break was given. "Yeah, I know." She said, cooling off. Of course she knew. Zira had given her this punishment, for failing so miserably on the raid.

Hatari layed low and out of site. She was ashamed that she didn't kill the human. She showed weakness and he attacked. For the rest of the day she would be in her own hangout she had made. A few sickly-looking trees, a small termite mound, much smaller than the others, since she cleared it out in her own time, and a few other things on which she practiced fighting tactics. She could get on top of her termite mound and practice arial attacks on a tree, she even practiced by trying to catch termites. She noticed Vitani on her break, and made her way over there. Hatari waited for her to cool down before approaching her. "Hey. Thanks for helping me out back there. I don't think I would have walked back if it wasn't for you." she said awkwardly. She almost whispered the word 'thanks.' You didn't usually thank someone in Zira's pride. But it was true. Vitani did save her life.
Kiara walked to the watering hole. She already missed Kovu. Laying down by the water, Kiara unsheathed one claw and swirled it in the water, messing up her reflection. She started to hum a song, not really realizing it. The sounds of nature made it work perfectly, though. Brids chirped right on cue, the swish of the grass sounded neat with it too. It was like a symphony of nature. her tail swished back and forth too the tune, and she bobed her head from side to side.

"We failed in destroying even a single one of them...." Vitani snapped, at rather the air and herself, than Hatari. "I deserve this punishment...." She said, as that strained muscle in her neck stung particularly sharply. "We were both weak. It was lucky that we were there for each other to save our sorry selves, or we'd both be dead. If you ever go out again, hold nothing back. I know I will." Vitani growled, as the slave-guard began to walk back to her post. She was being generous today; she walked instead of jogged.

Hatari nodded. "Next time I run into that guy, he better get that knife out quick. He's gonna need it." she growled, thinking back to the day's failure. Her attention turned to the slave-guard as she returned to her post. Hatari looked back to Vitani for one last time, and a small smile crept over her face. Then she realized what she had done, and walked off as cooly as she could. Hatari returned to her little hang out, and began practicing once again.

~Time passes~
Raf ventured outside, the first time he did so without his boot on. It was late evening, around 6:45. As he stiffly walked up to the main pride cave entrance, he was greeted with warm smiles and happiness by the others, who were glad to see him better again. Even his group of 6.... Only, 2 faces were new. He still secretly cried about that, nightly. Two had bitten dust while he was out of action, and in fighting an outlander patrol. From what he'd heard, neither of the two he'd fought from the first patroll had been there, secretly to his relief. Still, he wished he could hold a grudge. His dear friends would be avenged.

Kiara was back with the others by the time Raf had come out. "Feeling better?" she asked, smiling. She was glad to see him out, even if he was walking stiffly about. She had seen Kovu a couple times already, not long visits at all. Her dad kept tight watch on her, so she had to keep her visits with Kovu secret. She had not gone hunting yet, as they had to push it back a couple of times, due to weather. She thought her dad was over protective, and argued with him occasionally.
Hatari's wounds had healed, leaving no visible marks behind. There was sure to be a few small scars, but her fur had grown over them by now. She had worked hard to improve her combat skills, yet it was hard when you practiced mostly on trees and none moving things. Her fighting tactics were only slightly improved. Hatari had talked occasionally to Vitani, making them closer. They were not 'friends' yet, but not many lionesses were in the Out lands. Their relationship was more along the lines of 'good acquaintances'. This evening, Hatari was in her termite mound picking termites and snacking on them. She was thinking it was high time she joined another raid. She wanted to get back at that human. She hated being pulled on her tail, absolutely hated it. She was gonna get him back. She decided she would go on the next raid...if Vitani was going. She liked having her there, as a back up. She didn't want to be caught in another life-threatening situation. She made her way to Vitani, and started another conversation. "So I've been thinking about going on the next raid. That is, if you go." a small smile crept on her face.

[Hmm... Hope it's OK if I drop in. I've read through most of the RP, so I have a halfway decent idea of what's happened.]
Jamall, a dark brown lion with a night black mane, [who was on odd occasion mistaken for Kovu] slowly led the 'human' he had encountered through the tall grass as he headed back home. "Now do you remember what I told you about this place, Daniel?" He asked, glancing back at the heavily armed and armored human.
Daniel [or more accuratly Tobias Daniel Carver] slowly followed after the lion, clutching tightly to his HK416. "Yes, I remember every detail, Jamall. About Zira, Simba, Kiara. Seriously, you don't have to keep quizzing me." He replied, adjusting his desert digital Patrol Cap with one of his gloved hands and smirking slightly as he looked up at Pride Rock. He had to admit, he had though Jamall was exaggerating when he first spoke of Pride Rock. But now he saw that Jamall was right, the place was pretty big.
Jamall chuckled and shook his head. "All right all right, just wanted to make sure before we got there. And stop staring at Pride Rock, you don't want to look like a daydreamer." He replied, leading the human up to Pride Rock, and towards the main den. He had just cleared the top, when he saw that other human, Raf. He waited until the others had stopped speaking, then he piped up himself. "Hey guys... Look what I found wandering out in the middle of nowhere." He said, sitting down and thumbing a paw behind him at the lone soldier.
