You find a beautiful adolescent lioness with a shimmering white coat lying in the flickering light near the back of the cave. She smiles kindly when she sees you and allows you to introduce yourself.
"It's nice to meet you," she says, "I'm Maziwa!" She purrs. You ask her what she's up too.
"Oh my gosh, I'm lion watching!" she gasps, "like, you know, eavesdropping and picking up on the drama of the pride?" You can't help but be interested. She laughs, confident and almost mocking, before patting the spot next too her. You go ahead and lay next to her.
"Alright, so, the other day I saw Malkia talking to that new boy from the southern pride, and..." Maziwa talks your ear off, giving you the juicy deets on ever member of the pride, even King Rezon. You can't help but be interested in all the information, attempting to ignore the voice in the back of your mind telling you that Maziwa is probably not a reliable source of information here.
After much too long, you thank her for sharing her gossip and depart.

Cub Bio
As you walk around the well-lit cave a sudden white streak catches your eye. For a moment you believe it to be a trick of the low light before the streak zips in front of you behind a rock. You approach cautiously, unsure of what Rezon's pride might consist of. You ask who's there.
"I should be asking that!" the thing behind the rock squeaks. It has a very childish voice, high-pitched like a little girl. You guess that it's a little cub. You apologize, and explain that you're just visiting. A little white cub peaks her head up from behind the rock. She has large emerald eyes that are altogether too big for her white, fluffy head. Her red nose stands out against her faintly striped fur as she squints at you.
"Okay, if Rezon likes you, I guess you gotta be alright." She steps out from her hiding place, though it wasn't very good to start with. She sits on her haunches flicking her tail back and forth for a while, not looking at you. "Upenda says I'm too trusting of strangers, so, I'm trying to become more wary," her eyes flick up to your face for a moment before staring at the ground again. You ask her what her name is.
"Oh!" she sits up straight as if a meerkat bit her tail, "I'm Maziwa!" You start to say something about how it's nice to meet her when she suddenly pounces on you! Before you can react she has jumped off of your back and onto a ledge behind you, consumed by chasing, something. You call her name a couple times, attempting to get her attention again, but her focus is on whatever she's decided to chase. You turn your back to her and head back to explore the rest of the cave.
