 It wasn't that he had meant to get lost, it was just something he found very easy to do. Having been sent out to do some hunting the custard yellow lion had followed his nose towards water. Water lead out of the desert apparantly and beyond the desert there was food.
The rather large dopey lion had followed his nose for several days trying to find a decent herd to prey upon and by the time he found one, he had no idea where he was. He knew the desert was far behind him and although he knew that one of his momentary mistresses was there he didn't feel the urge to return to her. Those lands were scary he much prefared the bright normal lands he was used to where water was free and easy to get and prey roamed about in great furry hordes.
Unfortunately and was always his way he now found himself mistress-less once again, he felt very lost when he didn't have someone to tell him what to do, there was a world behind him he didn't want to return to, there was Kiuma who had probably forgotten him by now and there was the way ahead. Decideing, for once in his addled brained life, that ahead was the best choice he picked up his paws and started to wander aimlessly occassionally chasing a butterfly or stopping for a snack. Where he was, he wasn't sure but someone would turn up sooner or later and inform him of his where abouts.

Koi ran as fast as her bright legs could carry her. Since she talked with her sister Mono and told her her secret-she had to get away for a while. No harm in that right? She had been traveling for a few days now-she had told Mono about her leaving for a bit.... she'd be returning. For now... she needed to regain some of her honor back by herself-and that included being alone. She wasn't sure where she was but she knew her way back... that was the important part. She stopped occasionally to drink or eat something small... but otherwise she was happy with seeing the sights.
She was ready for a rest-and had stopped for the time being next to some rather shady tree's-where she lazed. It felt good to be away but she looked foreward to returning-her opinion of her sisters children arriving was a happy one now. She was looking foreward to it really.
She sighed and started to groom her bright fur. She'd prolly head back to the pride soon... she didn't want her queen worrying about her. Purple eyes turned, bright and happy, to the sky... things would look up.. she knew it. The goddess wouldn't let her be sad anymore

The very large yellow male stopped in his tracks at the scent of the orange female, he knew the scent of a female and feared it more than anything else. His mother had trained him to bow and respect females but the world he had wandered in for so long now didn't seem to understand what he was supposed to do. he was supposed to obey them, supposed to serve them without question. The world his mother had braught him up beleiving in just didn't seem to be the world he expected. He served one mistress to the next without any qwalms but really he was lost without a true mistress who knew how to treat him.
He just didn't understand the world. With tremblingbody the dark maned male stood quietly and waited to be addressed, there was no point breaking his traditions just because the females he had met wern't what he expected. Every female needed to be served as they saw fit. Swallowing rather audably he turned his gaze to the ground he could get a clip for stareing. he said nothing though, he had to wait, to be told to speak, that was the way he had been taught.

Koi's eyes caught sight of the male and she gazed at him for a moment. She blinked her eyes as soon as she recognized the look of a male who-was not dominant towards females. She cocked her head... and stood up. She took a step foreward and was astonished. Was this a male she never met before from the pride. She blinked and gazed about to see if he was with anyone... why would a male be out on his own? She padded up to him, intent on finding out why he was alone... but not wanting to be to much of a pain. After all, Koi didn't see the males as slaves but... something a bit more... she was never cruel or harsh, though if required she'd put them in their place.
She walked up next to him and smiled warmly. Greetings. She said simply, her voice smooth and light. She was a bit attracted to him for some reason... she felt a pull at her chest... but ignored it for the time being... She was more concerned for why he was out alone... and looking as though anyone could walk all over him.
You looks as wanderlost as I am. She said sweetly.

Keeping his eyes turned to the ground the custard yellow lion cleared his throat before speaking. "Y..y..Yes ma'am I have be..be...been lost for a vu..vu..very lllong time." He swallowed hard his head never lifting his tiny tufted ears buried in his long thick, silky mane.
Something about the way this female acted told him he must act the way he was supposed to. There was no turning away unless he wanted a claw at his backside. There was something familiar about her, something subtle which reminded him of his mother.

Koi could not help but feel that he was afraid of her somehow. She blinked her eyes slowly, cocking her head to the side and stepping closer to him. He was stuttering... did she frighten him... males were to respect females but not be afraid of them. She lifted a paw and set it next to his. There's no need to be nervous dear... I'm not going to hurt you or anything She said, turning her eyes this way and that... studying his markings... Something pinged in her head but... she had trouble recognizing it. She gazed around them...
He was lost... Poor dear.
Well... where is your home at then? Perhaps I can point you in the right direction She said kindly, her tail curling over her front paws, with its usual split tip. She felt terribly sad for him... it was no good feeling to be lost. Though she knew her way back-she felt as though she were lost too. She felt more at home in the pride. Sh
Tell me your name dear... Mines Koi

Swallowing hard the pale male his long silky mane, by now nearly touching the floor his head was bent so low, flinched when hr paw settled beside his. he calmed ever so slightly when she spoke his ears twitching sparodically. "I..I..I havn't hh had a home since my..m..m..mother d..d..died. Th..th..the mist wuh..wuh..weavers did not w..w..wantme." He tenced then half expecting a clip for perhaps speaking out of place. "My mothers, pr..pr..pride I..uhm..don't know wh..wh..where it is s..I..I..I am lllost." his head lifted slightly then and he glanced at the large orange and yellow female.
She reminded him alot of his mother large and brightly coloured, he had inherited his black bits from his father. The way this female carried herself spoke of his mother and his tail wagged nervously akin to a very large dog. "mm..mm my name is Liza ma'am. Th..thats the n..n..name my mu..mu..mother gave me."

Koi smiled at him though she wished he wouldn't cower like that-like she was going to give him a good swat. She lowered herself to the ground, knowing that he was prolly nervous around her. He acted as though he was from her pride. She blinked her purple eyes. Hello Liza. It is a very honorable name if I may say so myself. She said with a big smile.
She lowered herself all the way and gazed at him. His mother huh... she wondered if he wanted a home to go to but she would as him later. Why didn't the Mistweavers want you? That is a rather harsh thing to do... toss someone out because you don't want someone.
How rude. She said, sitting up with a rather moody look on her face-which softened quickly. She looked a bit nervous.Why are you stuttering... are you afraid of me?She asked, looking at him softly. She was used to the usual obediance that the males shown, but this was uncalled for.

Oh what a question, was he afraid of her? Yes he was afraid of her he had been braught up to be afraid of them, afraid of females obedient to the end. A loud swallow echoed through the silence, he couldn't lie, if he lied he was just asking for a beating, he had best tell the truth first time around that way he only got clipped once. "Y..y..yes ma'am..I..I..I was tr..tr..trained to b..b..be opbedient t..t..to my mmmother b..b..but I'm a lllittle sl..sl..slow so she wo..would co..correct me when I d..d..did wrong. It's only r..r..right ma'am, I s..s..sometimes get my or..or..orders wrong."
Silence reigned then as his whole large heavily mucled body tenced waiting for the thrash of claws against his soft yellow fur. he had answered truthfully and he guessed it would get him a good thrashing. He deserved it maybe he had mis understood the question and answered completely wrong? He more or less ignored the compliment paid to him,it wasn't his place to take a compliment just to take an order.

Koi furrowed her eyebrows when he answered her and she did not quiet know how to respond. She blinked slowly, She did not know that he had been raised up to be afraid of females... sure respecting them proper was fine but... afraid. She narrowed her eyes and sat up straight. Well then, Liza... I order you to not fear me then-understood. I am not to be feared but to be respected... understood.
And for one... don't worry about getting your orders wrong... if you thrive on making sure you do everything well-you will slip up more. She said sternly, giving him a curt nod. She meant it. She was not something or someone to cause fear... that was not how the pride worked. That was not how she worked.
Liza... you're mother taught you that females were the higher ranked ones? Did she perhaps come from a pride that was like that-with bright colored fur? She asked, looking curious. Please... stop being so nervous. I won't hurt you... I promise

Lifting his dark eyes the pale yellow head his dark mane falling over his deep orange eyes. His brow furrowed as he tried to comprehend what the female was telling him to do. Don't be afraid? It was an order, it was an order how could he dissobey it? His simple mind worried but an order was an order. "y..yyes ma'am" it was hard to make fear go away with just words he had been trained that way, it would tke a long time for him to present trust to any female even if her words were kind rather than short and angry.
"Yes ma'am my m..m..mother came from a gr..gr..great pr..pr..pride which was ru..ru..run by fu..fu..females, she was v..v..very proud of her pr..pr..pride bbut she never mmanaged to re..re..return.." He gulped his deep orange eyes resting worriedly on Koi. "sh..sshe blamed mme..II dddisapointed her." His ears twitched amidst his silky black and silver mane.

Koi sat and thought intently on what she was about to do... or to try to do. His mother fit the description of the pride and his bright colors... she smiled at his first comment. She felt a bit dizzled by the fact that he was listening so well. Liza.. what would you say if I told you I am from that pride.
A pride that females reign justly and true and males serve us... but do not fear us. A pride where life is good and the sun shines upon us and the goddess blesses us with life and death. SHe stood up and circled around him, then took a seat right next to him-so that their hips touched. How would you like to come back to your mothers pride Liza?

Lizas head lifted anf for the first time in a very long time ther pale yellow lion looked hopeful. "Y..Yyou mean it?" He managed looking surprised a look of shock on his casually dopey maw. He blinked a couple of times. "y..y..you come from my mu..mu..mothers pride..."He trailed off that was why she moved in such a familiar way, she belonged to the place his mother called home.
"Y..Yyes ma'am I will c..c..come." He swallowed hard fear raising in his chest, though it was fear of the unknown only, the thought that he would belong to a pride and theyw ould welcome him almost calmed the big lug. "Th..they will tr..tr..treat me r..rright? ssince my mumumotehr ddied the wworld has been s..s..so strange." He watched as Koi sat next to him and he didn't even cringe as he usually would have in this situation so intent on following her to the world where he would belong.

Koi chuckled at his response. So, both her and her sister would be bringing in a new member to the pride. How strange. She blinked her purple eyes, nodding her hrad.Thats right. I believe that I am from that pride you speak of. She said, her tail curling around her body. Yes... they will treat you right and you won't be looked down upon. In fact, you will prolly fit right in. You are so brightly colored.. they'll accept you no doubt. '
I will make sure of it.. you will still have to listen to us females... but life will be better. We are not cruel... Especially me. I will gladly take you under my wing... if I had one.
So you will come with me Liza? YOu will come to my home... your true home.

To be questioned rather than ordered was a strange thing for the pale lion but he knew this was his chance to find a place he belonged in a place where obeying females wasn't wrong. He gave a nod his dark auburn eyes looking over the orange and yellow female.
"Y..Y..yes maa'am I'll follow you tto my motehrs pride. I'll be g..g..good and obey what ever you ssay." He stutters a smile raising on his dark lips.
