Vitani shrugged. "I guess they do..." she said softly. "Well they are....I just...." she shook her head. "Never mind"

Jamall sighed and nodded. Unsure of what to say, he switched topics to something a little more lighthearted. Or so he thought. "So, do you know where you are going to stay in the Western Jungle? I hear that about 60% of that Jungle has been overrun by the Gorillas, and the rest is under the control of the Noveria Clan. Not a safe place to be, not since the two factions are at war." He asked, looking off to the west. He had been to that Jungle only a week ago, and had nearly been killed in the metaphorical crossfire between a squad of Panthers and handful of Apes and Gorillas.

"Really... so where do you think we should go?" Kiki asked, raising her eyebrows. With this new information she wasn't quite sure where to go from there. Muko apparently had woken up. He announced this by saying, "Gorillas? Cool! I've never seen a gorilla. But my friend said that they are HUGE monkeys with no tails and they walk on their knuckles!"

"Uh... Gorillias aren't really cool. They're big, smelly, and brutal. Trust me, you don't want anything to do with them." Jamall warned, deciding to answer Muko first. He then looked at Kiki and gave her fairly compassionate smile. "Well... You can stay at my den, in Pride Rock. At least until we can find you someplace you would like to call home."

"Why?" Muko asked. "Not this again... Sometimes things are just the way they are, Muko. Got it?" Kiki sighed. "Got it." Turning back to Jamall, she said, "Would they welcome us? I'm sure everyone knows Jaguars aren't very good pride-members."

Jamall laughed softly and slowly shook his head. "Trust me, Kiki. As long as you stay in my den, no one will even know you're there." He replied with a smile. He glanced back up at Pride Rock, then back at Kiki. "I think I'll head back there now. I don't want to be out here when the hunting party heads out."

"Shall I come too?" Kiki said, raising her brow, "Or should I wait a while and meet you somewhere?" She really had no idea what to do, she just had to trust Jamall (which she had no problem with) and hope everything would turn out all right.

"Sure, I'd like it if you came now." Jamall replied, standing alongside Kiki. "Just follow me and we'll be there in no time." He stated, beginning to move foreward on the short path that would take them to Jamall's den.

Kiki followed obediently. Observing all of the new, strange things that lived in the Pridelands along with the lions as she walked. Muko had fallen asleep again, it was getting darker by the minute.

Soon enough, the two felines reached Jamall's den. His home was surprisingly warm and comfortable, well-furnished with sleeping pelts and various bags filled with scrolls and other knicknacks. Jamall padded in and stood by the entrance, smiling at Kiki. ""It's probably not what you're used to, but it's home."

Kiki immediately started looking at various pelts, saying things like, "What an interesting pattern..." or "Such intriguing colors..." She carefully placed Muko on one of the smaller pelts, then laid down herself. "I'm not used to having something other than moss to make the floor softer." She said, still looking around at various objects.

Jamall laid down a few feet from Kiki, watching as she examined his belongings. "I know that feeling." Jamall replied, making a vague reference to his early cubhood, which was spent in the Northern Jungles. "Uh... If there's anything you need, anything at all, tell me and I'll get it for you." He offered, wanting to make her feel at home.

Vitani couldnt keep it hidden anymore. She didnt even noticed that she was automatically walking towards Jamalls den. She stopped when she saw Kiki and Jamall go into the den. She lost it. "Epesi....I like him....no! I love him!! I deffinately cant watch this. Help me!" she said probably louder than she should have spoken. Her voice was growing shakey. No...she had to leave...immediatley. There was NO way she was staying here to watch Jamall go all gooey for Kiki....she sighed and started walking to his den again. She stopped herself and then stopped. She turned and looked at the outlands. Apparently that was where she really belonged..

"I should be fine. I just need to know what to avoid. I know about hy-e-nas already, that's their name, correct?" She shaped the word 'hyena' with her lips as best she could. Everything was still quite new, and odd, to her. Her ears perked as she heard a slightly loud 'Help me!'. The jaguar turned her soft, golden eyes on Jamall. "Did you hear that? Maybe we should see if we can help."

Jamall nodded and rose to his paws. "Yes, I heard it." He replied, padding over to the entrance. He poked his head outside and looked around. He soon spotted Vitani and Epesi. "I think it's Vitani and Epesi... They're fine. Just talking." He sighed, slowly shaking his head. He had no idea that Vitani held feelings for him. If he did, he'd almost undoubtedly spend his every waking moment doing whatever she wanted.

Kiki smiled, "Vitani is a very nice lioness. I hope I have a chance to talk to her more. She didn't exactly get a chance to speak much before she went for her walk." she said, examining her claws. She looked outside at the darkening sky and mumbled, "Such bright nights here. I hope I'll be able to sleep."

Jamall nodded in agreement at Kiki's comment. Vitani really was a pretty nice lioness. He chuckled softly when Kiki said something about bright nights and being able to sleep. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. It's nice and dark in my cave, once I drape a pelt over the entrance." He replied with a smile.

"I'm sure he has feelings for you, Vitani.....He'd be crazy if he didn't"*Epesi smiled to her friend, then she turned and walked to her den and layed down with her head on her paws*

"If you say so..." Kiki murmured. She thought for a bit, then said, "Hey, thanks for doing this for us. The ground here isn't as soft as Muko's used to. You wouldn't want to see him when he's grumpy." she laughed softly, then turned her eyes on her son. Sleeping peacefully, all was good.

Jamall smiled and looked back at Muko's sleeping form. "You're very welcome, Kiki. I know what it's like to not have a safe place to sleep. I didn't want him to go through that, even for a short time." He replied, turning his attention to her.
