Welcome to Gaia! ::

The sun was high in the sky, and the waves crashed softly on the shoreline. The days have gone by happily, Zarin's never been as happy as he has being here in the ocean with Siya. After his father and brother's visit, he was glad to have the chance to let them know where he was and if they wanted to visit him, they were more than welcomed to. His turquoise eyes looked forward, knowing that he'd find Siya's familiar silver form soon enough, she was never far from him for too long.

The sand was her resting place, it always had been, comfortable, a cusp for her slender silver body, and the mouth of the shore, where it met with the waves was her favourite place to lie. the water was her friend and it washed over her lower extremeties, dampening her fur makign her top half look exceedingly fluffy. it could be cool by the sea and the lions whom lived there could definately be called almost long haired.

A little sigh rolled over her lips as she opened ehr blue eyes and allowed her head to loll to one side. A smile graced accross ehr maw as she spotted the soft peachy colorued fur of her boy, Her Zarin. She adored him, there was no other word for it. Lifting a fore paw she gave him a wave, a sort of come hither shift of ehr pale skyward bound paws.

Just as he predicted, Siya was not too far away and had spotted him almost immediately. Zarin wandered over in her direction and once he had gotten close to her, he bent his head forward and nuzzled her cheek affectionately. He would never tire of that or playing with her! "Siya!" He greeted her enthusiastically. "I hope you haven't been too bored without me!" He winked playfully at her.

The silver lioness giggled happily and grabbed his face with both of her paws pulling his nose closer to hers. She pured and licked his face happily. "I always bored when you nots heer zarin." She ggigles. "But missin' you jus' makes seein you again much better." She beams and rolld on her side allowing a stray wave to roll all the way up her body and splash over her shoulder. She never minded, the sea was her home and she loved it more than anything else, almost, she didn't love it as much as she loved Zarin.

As the waves rolled over Siya, Zarin felt his toes and leg get wet from the salty water. He never minded the water, as he loved the water greatly. But of course, it paled in comparison to his Siya! "I'm glad to hear that. Things are never as interesting when you're not with me!" He flopped down next to her, getting even more wet with the incoming waves. It wouldn't be too long before his mane was all poofy! "I met one of your friends, Siya. Her name was Sevati and she was happy that we're together." He chuckled softly, remembering the white lioness' happiness at the news that they were together. "I think you're Dad's still a little weary of me." He gave her a lopsided smiling, knowing full well that it was always hard for a father to let his little daughter go to another male.

Siyasura tilted her head a gentle giggle rolling over her lips. "Ohhs, Sevati ish purty, she's a nice lioness." She smiles widely lifting one of her paws and settling it amongst his mane her pale blue eyes dancing as she looked at the pastel male whom had taken her heart, a part of herself she never knew she truely had.

"Daddy will be okay." She puurrs touching his nose with her own. "He knows I'm happy." She whispers laying her head back on the sand and closing her eyes for a long moment, clearly deep in thought.

He nodded, "Oh yes, we played in the waves as well." Zarin then gave her a lopsided grin, "I know, it must be hard to know that his little daughter is all grown up!"

Once Siya had closed her eyes, he took the time to sneak a little lick on her cheek. His tail was curled slightly around the lioness before he looked at her. She looked like she was thinking and that made him curious. "You look like you're thinking of something...what's on your mind, Siya?"

The little silvery lioness opened one eye and smiled gently, she wasn't sure if she should reveal her thoughts or not but after a moment, she clearly wished to alleviate zarins questions.

"I was thinkin about Sevatis babies. Daddy says she had some. Diju sees them?" She beams her eyes sparkling. "is they pretty? Daddy says babies are always pretty."

With a nod of his head, Zarin replied, "Oh yes....well, I only saw one of her cubs. She told me she has five little ones," He paused before he smiled softly at Siya, "The little one I saw, he was very cute. He reminded me of the ocean with his sandy color and teal fur. But I agree with your Dad, all cubs are cute."

And then, he looked at her closely, wondering what brought this along. It took him a moment before his face lit up, "Do you want to have cubs, Siya?"

Siyasura gigled happily, the thought of the tiny playful cub made her mind bubble over excitedly, she liked cubs, she loved cubs, they braught joy and life and innocence to the sands and though she hadn't seen Sevati's cubs she knew she would eventually and she would ask them to play.

At zarins question though she flushed deeply, her cheeks turning a beet red which was clearly visable through her pale fur. "I..yes..i'd like to have cubs. Cubs are pretty and wonderful and the start of all things." she pururs watery blue eyes dancing in an almost dreamy manner.

He knew it and Siya's blush helped confirmed his suspicions. Zarin couldn't help but take in Siya's blush, it was rare to see her blush so red like this and he enjoyed it. He nuzzled her affectionately before chuckling softly, "The blush on your cheeks is very cute, Siya."

As she purred softly at the mention of cubs, he replied softly, "Cubs are wonderful, it's nice to see new life brought into the world. I would love to have a family when the time comes," He winked playfully, "We'll have plenty of little cubs to play with then!"

Siya giggled gently and buried her nose in her mates mane hiding her blush from his eyes for she could not rid herself of it now. "I'd like that" Came a slightly muffled reply fr her bouth was buried in his fluffy mane.

"I like cubs Zarin." She whispers lifting her head and smiling lightly "When the time comes, I'll be ready." She beamed, her jaw set in a determined manner another act that the pale lioness just didn't do very often.

As she hid her face in his mane, Zarin couldn't help but chuckle softly at the action. It was rather cute and he enjoyed it. "You're lucky that I have a large, fluffy mane Siya or else the whole world would see your blush!" He teased her playfully.

When she spoke about liking cubs, it came as no surprise to the male. "Yes, it will be nice to have a family together, Siya. We'll have very cute cubs!" He nodded before grinning, "Your Dad will have little grandcubs to play with!"

She laughed and her lips turned in a wider smile as she lifted a paw to bap her mate on the head between his ears. "Silly." she whispers placing her paws back to the ground and gazing happily at the male whom owned her heart and soul.

"hehe I know daddy will be happy. he likes cubses too." she beams her eyes glazing over her tail flickering and twitching in the salty water.

He gave her a cheeky grin as Siya batted him. Zarin replied cheekily, "But I'm your silly Zarin!" He chuckled softly.

As she spoke, he couldn't help but smile in reply. He knew Tamba would be happy to see more little cubs running around, especially some from his own blood. "He'll have fun then, we can have him babysit them too!" He liked that idea immensely. It was then that he looked up at the sky and noticed the sun was starting to set. He leaned against Siya and whispered softly in her ear, "Look, the sun's setting in the ocean just for us!

The lioness giggled happiyl and licked his face grooming his soft cheeks "yes you are." she pururs turning her attention to the sea.

She could imagine her father being happy to baby sit, he had looked after her so well. It was him after all that had made sure she didn't drown, it was him whom had taught her to swim and play in the waves. It seemed so long ago but she remembered all her father had done for her.

Gazing at the beautiful burnt umber sun she sighed happily."Our sunset." She puurrs the golds reflecting in her pale orbs.

Their sunset. It had a nice ring to it. Zarin rested against Siya and purred softly, "Yes, our sunset." He watched the sun set below the horizon as the stars started to twinkle. He then turned to look at Siya, "We should probably head back to our den soon. Don't want to be up too late..." And then he added, "Unless you wanted to sleep under the stars tonight."

Siya smiled lightly as she rested her head on the sand for a moment. before too long though she stood and shook out her fur spreying the sand around them with water dropletts. "Lets go homes." she puurs bouncing off up the bach with her tail and head high in the air.

With a nod, Zarin stood and shook the water from his fur. It poofed out slightly, but he didn't mind at all. "Lets go." He followed after Siya back towards their den for the night. He would curl up right next to her and sleep the night away, having wonderful dreams about her.
