If only Zazu was around, then she could very well get through this place a lot easier. She had made her way through the line, ignoring the humans completely. They seemed to either not see her, or decide they didn't want to provoke a lion into getting angry with them. She had reached the beginning of the line at the silvery-iced gates with little to no difficulty, just a bit of timidness and slow pace on her half. Kiara still had no idea where she was, even after sitting out in the grass and observing the people for long periods of time until she had decided to get up after sleeping only a little.

"Name," came from above her, just as she was about to pass through, and she jumped with a quiet squeak. Peeking up at the person there, she flattened her ears back in a sort of submissive manner. "Wh-what?" she was just confused, before the person saw what she was. "Another one," he mumbled, before turning and rummaging through his pile. Pulling out a soft-pink rock with a black vine attached to it, he leaned over and put it around her neck. "Name?" he asked, seeming patient as he waited to write down her name.

"Kiara..." she said puzzledly, staring at the weird rock around her neck now. "It's a journal," he explained, sounding bored. This was the millionth--he was exagerating, of course--lion he saw this damned week or so. "You talk into the microphone... no, that thing..." Kiara had nosed it open at her paws, and was examining it in line much to others' dismay. "The black thing, cat." She looked insulted, but nodded that she understood. "And it puts it in there... have fun. Welcome to Paixao, blahblah... name?" he turned to the next person after explaining things to Kiara, and the lioness had to glare a little at him.

She got no response to it.

Pouting a bit, she closed the journal with her nose and carried it with her into the city, head lowered and ears up so she could listen to her surroundings. There were more of the furless baboons in here, and she wasn't sure what was going on... they all looked the same, minus the few exceptions... It was kind of weird. So she headed deeper in, sticking close to fake foliage despite her comfort there also being limited. This place was just weird...

But the thing that gave her the joo-nal had seen more lions other than her, so her hopes were up. Maybe someone she knew--Kovu? she hoped--would be here... so she just sniffed and listened, eyes trained for whatever might help her.

Duma is usually not one to be ignorant of things, but it seems that his homesickness brought upon by the blonde and blue-eyed citizens of Paixao diverted his attention from the fake plants around the area. Suddenly noticing it, Duma kneels down and picks one leaf of grass, twirling it around in his hand curiously. It is not alive, but it is still beautiful.

He reaches out for a tiny crystal flower tinted with red, admiring it for a moment before turning to Kiara with a smile. He bends the stalk a little, placing it just above her left ear. Standing up, he smiles down at the lioness. The flower looks beautiful on her, but he thinks that she needs a crown. She is a princess, after all.

Observing Duma curiously and ever quietly, Kiara's ears flick a little in a customary manner of curiousity. As he plucks the fake grass from the earth, her head does the 'curious animal tilt' and her brown eyes follow it as he brings it to a twirl. Kiara did think most of the fake plants were pretty, but she doubted she'd be approaching any of them anytime soon to do anything but admire the shinier ones. Honestly... they look like they'd hurt to lay on.

However, when he places the crystal flower behind her ear, Kiara tilts her head a bit more as though it'll help, keeping her ear still. It doesn't really help her to see it, but she'd seen it before he placed it there, so she wasn't too bothered by it. Eyes going back to Duma, they close and she smiles up at him, tail flicking back and forth. She did so enjoy Duma, he wasn't like those weird monkeys. So, she thus gave him his own catagory of creature, as though calling him one of those weird, hairless monkeys was an insult. Really it was, in a way.
