[BORDER] Zuri`Zola x Jakk

[Ctrl F Greenie]

Sounds, smells, new surroundings and uncharted areas, atleast for the pale lioness whom had wandered a bit far and ended up where she expected she probably shouldn't have.

The sounds, of moving leaving, possibly heavy paws steps; the smells of other animals, lions, and more alike. Zuri, whom had not truly wandered around before, was certainly quite fearful. She had not once met a lion or other species she didn't like and she thought of herself as a confident individual, but the 'unknown' always got to her. The idea of not knowing what lay waiting around the next corner absolutely scared her.

With this in mind she stopped mid stride, and leaned on a well place tree trunk. The warmth from the sun must have been getting to her, because she thought she could smell a border. Or had she truly gotten this close to a pride, unsure, she stayed very still and took in a slow breath, gaining a paw hold on the situation. Quietly she hoped she hadn't gotten as close as she had and would be able to slip away, but then.. there was a prodding voice in her mind. This voice urged her to stay, see what happened. It was indeed her curiosity finally standing up for herself.

So there she stood, stuck between paranoia and curiosity.

He wasn't sure why he had traveled out as far as he had. Usually it meant trouble, as it wasn't often that a rogue got along with him very well. Jakk could be infuriating, but that was one of his charms. He was swaying, the remnants of some of the fermented fruit he had devoured on his maw. He had enjoyed eating the fermented mango.. It had given him a bit of a rush. Though now he was finding he was stumbling a bit more than he would have liked.

He was humming to himself. His voice not too deep, but with a slight rasp to it. It was breathy, and .. all his. Though the scent that hit his nose, stopped his humming as he perked. There was someone around, and a rogue no less. From the scent, they were female, and that was just fine with Jakk. He did better in female company anyway.
At least.. one female at a time he was better in their company. Otherwise they started putting two and two together.

If her paranoia wasn't enough to warn her away the new and exciting smell that drifted her way was certainly something to give her a good head shake. The smell seemed to weave its way to her nose and tickled her ever so slightly, it was of course.. a male.

On top of that already worrying smell was another, something strangely like fruit, but not quite. At that the curiosity crept back into place leaving her frozen in her paw steps. This was the first that Zuri had truly felt compelled to stay in dangers possible way.

Given the short amount of time that she was sure she was by herself meant she should hightail it free from harm, but instead she chose another path.

"Hello... ?"

The call was considerably more confident than she felt, the echo itself made her feel a little better though, now all she could do was hope there was no one there, or deal with the consequences of company.

When she spoke, his ears perked and he grinned. Well at least he knew where she was. That put him on edge. She hadn't made it to the beaches yet, and that gave him the advantage. She wouldn't navigate the border as well as he could.

Pushing a few branches of a bush out of the way, he snuck through it and poked his head out of the other side. He saw her first, and she was a lovely little thing. He had always had a soft spot for a pretty face. Though he wasn't as charming as he liked to think he was.

" 'Ello, love." He said, his voice still youthful, though growing more mature as he aged. He was almost full grown, but he still had just a little growing to do.

He stretched out his body, trying to give the feeling that he was laid back. He was, but he wanted others to actually see it.

Her imagination had not deceived her this time. The shock that streamlined and coursed through her body was probably unimaginable in itself. The sight and sudden voice was what simply got to her. How had he been able to sneak up on her like that! -- The thought processed and she remembered, that although she did not know the area, others would, certainly this individual did anyhow.

When Zuri's mind cleared from her own little world of ideas she finally focused on the sound of his voice, before she truly saw him she knew he was not full grown. Something about the pitch told her this and upon sight she saw it. He was nearly grown, but not quite there. Perhaps that awkward halfway there, but not quite moment in life.

That aside she decided it would probably be polite to speak. "Oh, hello?" Her pitch, without question, was question within itself. Love? She admired how bold he was able to be, but she was certainly not his love.

BUT, on a more positive note, he had stretched and made it clear he was relaxed, maybe it could be a good sign of a great conversation. "Where am I?" Or maybe it would simply be enlightening if anything.

She gave a weak smile.

He grinned when he had surprised her. If she hadn't been a female, and a pretty one at that, he likely would have let her continue on her way. He was more interested in going and finding the fruit's keeper. She usually had lots of choices when it came to the fruit. He was feeling the idea of a mango, currently.. But he couldn't think of getting intoxicated, for the minute anyway. He had someone here, and her company was quite desired.

She responded almost like a princess. Her voice feminine, surprised, and with that touch of genuine to it. He hadn't met any princesses, but he figured if he did, he would expect them to act that way.

"Where are you? Why.. A dangerous place, dark and demanding." He said, his eyes narrowing and his voice deepened as the sentence went on. He was silent for a moment before he shrugged and smiled.

"You are approaching Maestros Del Mar, little dove. A rather uninspiring, yet pleasurable place to be." He loved his pride, really he did. But he was an a** on his best days.  

[Ctrl F Greenie]

He seemed to have a look of desire that flitted through his eyes and yet, she felt no need to be fearful etc. She stood still and watched him closely, his actions and more told her alone that he was from a place she was unfamiliar with. His voice held a slang that was certainly pleasing to the ear and so she would not mind this conversation what so ever.

"A dangerous... dark? And demanding?" She snickered lightly, a pretty little grin replacing her nervous and weak smile. The way he spoke really did make a difference in the conversation. The dark look and deeper voice only intrigued her more. The feelings of fear and more disappeared.

"Would you show me.. some of your home?"

Her paws carry her forward slowly, unsurely, but surely all at once, something bout the male was grabbing at her and pulling her in. It was exhilarating in a weird way.

He was surprised his display of charm had actually worked. It was hit or miss sometimes. Though he liked to think himself a true ladies man. When she responded to him, he smiled a devious half smile.

"I could show you a lot of things, pet. But first things first, aye?" He asked, arching an eyebrow as he walked a little closer to her, putting them as close as he could without touching her.

"You tell me your name.." He looked her over, and smiled back up at her. "I'll show you my home." He truly didn't care about her name. He was likely to forget it anyway. It was how he usually got caught in his scandals.

"Saavy?"  

[Ctrl F Greenie]

Buffy_the_Bloody

Well hit it certainly had!

The smile he bore twisted into something devious and she nearly chuckled, her nerves were returning, but she enjoyed being fearless far more than she thought she would. This would be a trial run of brave Zuri.

Her name, well she supposed this was only fair, his pride, his territory and his claws were probably sharp. "Zuri... Zuri`zola." Now did she have rights to his name? She would certainly test her luck. "What of your name?" She asks, quickly before he continues.

The word that slips his mouth, so smoothly, was something that sounded similar to 'okay?' and so she took it that way.

"Uhm... saavy." She repeats it, hoping that she has caught onto their speech a little bit. Her mind had already considered one primary thing, could this be a new home? Zuri was not completely ready to accept the idea, but found her brain playing with it a little.

"Can we see the water first?"

When she said her name, he jotted it down as best he could. But come morning it was unlikely he would remember who she was. Her face? Yeah he would remember that. But names were beyond him sometimes.
Then she asked his name. He grinned again, and chuckled.

"The name is Sparrow, love. Jakk "Sparrow"." Sparrow was his Pirate name, and he used it when he was around his crewmates and pirate bretheren. But he found himself wondering what an outsider would call someone like him. So he figured letting her decide would work. At least for now.

When she repeated his word, he chuckled again, and nodded. "Aye, love. If the ocean is what you want to see. You will see the ocean." He turned, and motioned her to follow with his head.

The naming was a riddle, she smiled sweetly as he said his name to her and immediately she was saying her own name in her head the same was. Zola, Zuir`Zola.. Upon the thought she nearly burst out laughing, but contained herself in a regal manner and let the smile grow slightly.

"Well.. I think I shall simply call you Jakk." Sparrow seemed a fine name as any, but she simply preferred the easy to remember, short and to the point kinda name.

Zuri nodded quickly, instantly remembering talks of such a vast body of water that you could not see the otherside! This was not truly a dream, but she was fulfilling it none the less. "What is it like? Is it frightening?" She began to ask, quickly trying to think of the many possibilities of what the water could be like. Impatience was clear with this female.

He grinned and stretched out his paws, his claws digging into the sand until he righted himself and chuckled. He liked her. She was pretty, in a dainty, feminine sort of way. He normally found himself entranced with the corsairs that entertained him. But sometimes, there was more to be desired than the random corsair. Some of them spurned his advances too, not his most proud moments!

"Aye, frightening, and then some. Follow me, love. I will show you the way." He motioned for her to follow, and began leading her towards the ocean. She wanted tos ee it, well he would show it to her.. And then maybe a few other things....
