[sup][b]Interacting With:[/b] Her mother.[/sup][/color][/center] [hr][hr] Things here were vastly different from what they were back home… Turning her head so that she was able to glance out the window, Naevia shifted her body over the backseat of the limousine, her legs crossing over one another as she watched the scenery passing them by- this world… it was hardly believable that this city shared the very same Earth as the savanna’s she had roamed all her life. While her own home was so vastly technologically advanced, it still held fast to the deep culture and traditions of their people; this city was so… busy… The gentle growl emanating from her left catching her attention, she tore her gaze away from the cityscape, instead allowing it to linger over one of the two large animals that laid at her feet as the sound of her mother’s voice filled the air, commanding her ear, even though her dark eyes remained fixed upon the felines lain on either side of her.

And should I have trouble, I shall seek out father for guidance.”[/color] An annoyed expression flickering across her otherwise gentle features, she reached out a hand, her fingers disappearing into the soft mane of the lion closest to her- [url=http://www.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/222003-Relaxing-Lion.jpg]Kovu[/url]… he was always so much more docile than his brother, [url=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XocSMuIv0Tc/VDVTUx8n7qI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/a36pDxrHJpA/s1600/lion_roar-5730.jpg]Crixus[/url], though both had always been gentle and full of love when it came to her. But then she supposed that was inevitable when she had been the one to raise them from cubs. Taking a few moments to relish within the memories that flickered across the forefront of her mind before eventually, her attention was brought back over to the woman sitting opposite her- her mother… Mari McCabe… The woman was a beauty; both a model and an actress- one that was known throughout the world for her photo-shoots and roles on TV and the big screen, [color=#E38A12]“..tamaa… you have nothing to fear for me…”[/color] [b]“I shall always fear for you, Naevia. You are my daughter… the heir to Wakanda, and voice of the animal kingdom.”[/b] Her attention caught by the stirring of her lion’s as the limousine slowed to a stop in front of the academy gates, Naevia made no move to get out, she knew better than to interrupt her mother while she was in the middle of one of her lectures… even if it happened to be one of her smaller ones. Remaining silent, she kept her gaze on the woman sitting before her eyes, letting her know that despite the fact that she might not like it, she had her full and utter attention at that precise moment. [b]“..be sure to never forget where it is you come from…”[/b] [color=#E38A12]“..ndiyo mama…”[/color] Bowing her head out of respect towards her mother, and of what it was she was asking of her, Naevia began to move, climbing out of the limousine and back onto her feet as the driver opened the door for her. Things were going to be very different from now on… Her gaze torn from the large and rather imposing buildings that were spanned out behind the cast iron walls surrounding the academy, Naevia’s attention fell, watching on as the two lion’s followed her lead, each of them taking up their place on either of her sides. It didn’t matter that she was being uprooted from her homeland in order to take up the invitation, and to attend the academy for those who were (in her father’s words) like her… none of that mattered… With Kovu and Crixus by her sides; she would always have a piece of home with her… she would never be alone… [color=#E38A12]“..kuja…”[/color] The single word fell from her lips confidently, causing each of the lion’s to growl contently in response as the three began to make their way forward and through the gates into the academy, her arms swinging lightly back and forth at her sides in time with her hips as she moved.
