Kijani turned away from Marcus, she'd heard a strange noise, kind of like a squawk, followed by a squeak. "What was that?" The meerkat asked, not really talking to Marcus, she stood up tall on her hind legs and looked across the sandy Outlands. For a moment there was nothing, then a terrified looking ostrich ran past them, it wasn't big, probably just a chick. But it was soon followed by a large cheetah, then, Kijani watched as Kovu dived into the scene out of no where. Kovu instantly leapt into action, biting and scratching the cheetah, Kijani flattened her ears and winced every time the poor animal was attacked, "Kovu!" She yelped eventually, "please, stop it!" Kovu stopped, but then started to speak to the cheetah angrily, Kijani's eyes widened. "Wait, this is a Pridelander?" She spat the word as if it was some kind of nasty disease.
