((Mufasa is here to play! So if anyone has business with him, or just wants to meet him go ahead and post here, I'll try to check it regularly. :3 ))
-Mufasa lapped at the cool waters gently, before settling onto the dusty ground near the water's edge. His mind wandered to him mate, a soft sweet memory of days past when they were both young and strong. Sighing with soft contentment he watched the relection of the sky in the water, letting the warm day drift over his old bones.-

It had taken a few minutes for Ta to get away from the overly excited Kami, the two having chatted about how he had finally grown out his mane enough to look like the adult he was. It was weird, being so much bigger than his friend when he knew she deserved to grow as well, if not just appearence but for her self confidence as well. Ta had worried greatly over the princess since they met as cubs, and the bond they shared was that of siblings almost, if not more. Shaking his thoughts away from that area, just like always, he decided it was finally time to speak to the King.
Nearing the waters, he caught sight of the larger form, the elder lion being much bigger than his own rogue self. Taking a deep breath, he lowered his copper eyes a moment as he moved a few yards away, lapping the waters himself as he collected his wits. At last, he turned and glanced to the king, before looking back to the waters as all of his pre-planned conversation flew right out of his mind.
If he made a mistake, he could never see his friend again.

((Wheeee, sure sure Tahja biggrin I doubt Muffy and Ta's convo will last too long so he'd be happy to meet them too :3 ))
-His eyes lifted as the other male settled himself at the watering hole. It was the weird one.. The cub had been there off and on since his childhood, and it was incredibly odd to Mufasa that he'd been there that long without ever asking to be part of the pride.. without ever committing. Looking at the 'young lions' fully adult form.. something that'd snuck on on him, his mind turned to his daughter, and a soft worry began to nag at his mind.
If her 'friend had grown'.. it wasn't too long before she herself would be an adult.. The thought was painful almost, with the dissappearnce of so many of his cubs. As his mind drifted further an idea hit him, and it wasn't a pleasant one.. forcing himself to drink to hide the growl that wanted to form. If this little male had just been in wait the whole time, and had intentions of stealing his eldest daughter to run away with, then he had another thing coming.-

He felt his heart growing his pace as he could see the king out of the corner of his eye. It seemed as if he was the main point of interest for Kami's father, and Ta was afraid to admit he didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Suddenly, he remembered the first step he was to make, and he turned back to face the king, lowering his head so his mane covered his downcast eyes.
"Your Highness..." he murmbered in his soft voice, keeping the shadows from catching his attention. Just like always, without Kami at his side, his past started to slowly return. With the winds brushing his coat, his forearms tightened before he took a deep breath to relax the paranoia, eyes raising to meet the king's.
"I..." He trailed off as he caught the slight annoyance in the king's eyes, and once more his own shot away from the depths, "...I have come to speak with you about the prospect of becoming a Pridelander...for as long as I can remember, the lands have brought me safety from my past, and..." He stilled his voice and started to collect himself, "...I want to feel safe in days to come..." Lifting his eyes, he glanced to the king again, hoping he wouldn't see the anger he had pictured would come.

-He gritted his teeth lightly as requests darted through his mind, making up endings due Ta's trailing and submissiveness. Of course you can't have her! Or take her off to see the world. His mind snapped. It was enough that his boys had headed off.
However as the true request touched his ears the king's expression softened, his ears lifting lightly. He was relieved to say the least. His becoming part of the pride not only would settle his notions about the boy.. and showed a sense of maturity that he'd actually apparently gained along with his new size. But of coures it also would keep Kami around, perhaps keep her from gaining the wanderlust that'd eaten through a few of the other prideland young ones.
Turning to fully face the young lion he nodded lightly, offering simply.- "You've been part of the pride since the first night you slept within our lands. And you've proven.. that you aren't a threat to the safety. So if you wish to join, then, you're free to."

His shoulders slumped at the look in the King's eye, and he glanced down to his paws in the childish manor he still held. Becoming a child so late, he still felt his instincts controling his movements, but as soon as Mufasa spoke up again, Ta felt his head rise so suddenly that his ears started to ring. Not knowing if he heard it correctly, he took a step closer before his maw broke into a wide grin.
"Y-you mean it?" He asked in an excited stutter, before a short laugh of amazement broke through his lips. Looking down a moment more, he thought before glancing back to the king in wonder.
"Since I came here as a cub," He said softly, "I have only been shown hospitality but the lions here...as well as Kami...even the queen looked at me as another member, though I was still a rogue...Finally, it feels right for me to ask my place, so I may help protect this pride while you rule, as well as while Kami rules." He had no idea if the king knew it, but Ta suddenly felt the last factor of losing his only friend was finally gone, and suddenly he felt light as if there was nothing else to worry about.
"Thank you, your highness..." He finished, his rambling done as he glanced back towards the rock. He could not wait to tell Kami the good news he finally had, ready to share.

((I don't mind at all biggrin Though it's possible I might be dragged off in a bit, so we might have to continue later when I get home :3 ))
-A half smile touched his lip's at Ta's excitement, and nodded lightly to the spilling words. He offered simply the soft reassuring words that, "A pride can always use more strong males"
-He was a bit of a worrier when it came to thinking about the days he'd join his ancestors in the sky. It wasn't that he thought Kami was incapable.. nor the rest of the pride, but deep down he didn't want them to feel the pain and harshness that life sometimes threw. Another nasty disease, or a pride upheaval. Shaking the thoughts away he glanced to Ta once again, laughing very lightly.- "Perhaps you should go tell your new pridemates?"

Stilling his excitements, he nodded slowly as his stance was one of pride himself. The king had no idea that the only one he could tell was Kami, for he didn't have many others. Heck, it took him months just to speak to the King of all the lions in that pride.
Turning, he sent another grin back to the king in thanks, before running off in stride towards where he knew Kami would be waiting, ready to tell her the news that he would be there for many moons to come.

((Alright, I'll just make a post just in case you do have to leave. biggrin ))
Mika'il had finally found where Na'ilah had ran off to and was happy to know it was a pride. His eyes scanned the area before landing on some figures up ahead. He really wasn't comfortable staying in another's territory without permission, but his conversation with Na'ilah had confirmed that she wanted to stay here.
As he came closer to the two, he noticed that one of them was leaving. He smiled to both before greeting, "Hello!"

((So green and pretty :3))
-Mufasa turned lightly to the strangely hued lion that had approached, offering a soft nod of acknowledgement, before he shifted up towards his feet, sitting lightly. The male was unfamilar to him atleast and he wondered softly if it was a traveler, or one of the many new members to the pride.- "Hello there."

((Thanks. My sister, Kireiryuu, has rubbed off her obsession of green to me. whee ))
Mika'il heard the returned greeting and felt a smile grow. Everyone that he has encountered here was friendly! His tail flicked slightly before he stopped before the King. He looked him over before he began to speak, "I hope I wasn't interrupting anything but I don't like to intrude," He paused before continuing, "I'm Mika'il. It's a pleasure to meet you."

-Letting his eyes turn for a moment to the direction in which Ta had run, he shook his head lightly, he good mood returning with the pleasant turn of events.- "Not intruding at all. I'm just resting."
"Hello Mika'il, I'm Mufasa." -Glancing out at the water again he shifted, almost as if other the other male a seat.- "It's nice to have a wateringhole so near the rocks."
