Amaranta had been a teen for a little while now, and she was beginning to find more urges and inner stirs that hadn't been there before. She began to notice different males in the pride, she was even happier that her male friend Aadi had joined the pride not to long ago, he was in a slave status for now but that would change after he ahd been in the pride for a little while, and she would train him up good.
As Amaranta walked through the pride, she was smiling a great deal, her sleek fur glistening in the sun. She knew her beauty and it was completely in her books to use her beauty to get ahead. Amaranta kept her eyes peeled she was looking for Aadi, is dark fur should be a beakon for her, and she was thinking perhaps they could spend some quality time together.

The leopard was getting.. bigger. But he stayed in an even slender because of his metabolism. It evened him out when he nearly starved himself to death months before. Now .. he was in the safety of a pride.. but it was not HIS pride. No.. After leaving his mother in the lands of his ...newly found relatives. She decided to stay and with that.. he found him wanting more than just reason. A deep connection... he found.. when he met with Ama.. whom lived in this pride. Where he resided..now. She made him feel.. wanted and that was the problem. He had never felt TRULY needed.
Only the mother he adored.. and now she gave him the leway to live on his own.. or in a place where his family lived. Why did he choose to stay in a land.. that was not of his blood? He looked up at the monkey he had befriended. Only because he threatened it because IT threatened his butterfly friend. Which still roamed around even today. Setting on his ear as he looked upon the monkey. "Dropp'em'" He said as the monkey nodded and dropped a few huge coconut looking balls from the tree. Aadi had to dodge a few as they dropped and splattered on the ground. "Thanks!" He called. The monkey jumping up and down as he folded them up in to his huge carrier leaf. Pulling it back in to a small lil den that he called his own.
It had dirt drawings on the floor of his mother. And youngest nieces and nephews. There were a lot of them. Bringing the large coconuts back in with him as he put them together to preserve the soft liquid inside. He had met Ama every now and again but he soon learned.. that she was 'important' to the pride to some degree.. Busy. So he waited til she came to him.. but he didn't think today. He had just brought in a kill and let the other leopards have had it ~ this morning. He didn't see her. He stayed as far away as possible from the lions. He still held a grudge to him that he didn't think would simply past.. Sitting down as his tail flickered with interest. There were trades that could be taken on but thought he was physically strong.. His monkey friend helped him to ease drop and many other trades. Like the one he currently had an eye for. An Artist.. So he decided to practice it.. in solitude after his slave duties.

Amaranta sauntered towards the den she knew that Aadi had taking up residence in. She was proud of how well he seemed to be doing in the pride, and was happy that he ahd chosen to come this way and stay with here. The young female didn't have much trust towards the male species. Her own father wasn't an active role in her life, and her brother's for the most part were appalling creatures.
Aadi though had proved her wrong something she would never admit to anyone, but she was beginning to trust hime, and in an odd way it felt nice, and good, like maybe that was the way the world was suppose to be. Today Amaranta was going to teach Aadi more about hte ranks of the pride, she wanted him to know more about the home he had chosen to live in the home that she was quite proud of.
Chi
He arched his shoulders and shook out his body. His tail flinging up in the air~ probably the only thing about him he had to remember.. he was his mother's son. To always be proud and lift his head high. But it was hard in the situation he found himself in.. and how he gave it for the search of love. The monkey jumping around in the tree tops above where aadi rested.. and his butterfly flying about around his lil area... and found ama first. Flicking towards her as its old bones rested on her nose... Aadi would be excited to see her.. if he could notice her in a hunting level. Sticking his front body inside his den as his butt stuck out. Just a big bone like a dog he munched on often... while he did his lil splashes of art.
nessiang
Amaranta smiled when Aadi's litter butterfly landed on her knows and she winked in greating to it. "Where is he?" she whispered. If the butterfly was there, Aadi coulnd't be to far away. She gallopped light towards his den and smiled when she saw his black bottom hanging out of the den.
"Good morning." she sang and patted his bum with her front paws as she settled herself prettily beside him. Amaranta really was a striking leopardess, having beautiful indgo fur the shmmired in the sun.
Chi
The butterfly or course was a fan of the future and to ensure it.. he would lead them to each other in a heartbeat.. Flapping about as it whirled in the wind and right on the top of the small den. Showing off Aadi's rump.. and once the leopard in question was confronted with her voice.. he smashed his head up against his own log den.. "OWW!" Grumbling as he wiggled out with a paw over his head.. "AMA!" A squint of his eyed for a moment as he straightened out in a sit and smiled at her. "I didn't think you were coming.. " His mornings always started out way too early.. a slave life for a limited time. He looked at her with soft icy blue eyes against his dark black fur. "Morning." A soft smile brewed.. an innocent smile.
nessiaing
Amaranta grinned from ear to ear, she quite enjoyed this males eyes, and how the were set against his dark dark fur. "I am sorry I was training again, I am not sure that my mother will ever be happy that I chose to follow a different career path then her." Amaranta shook her head, her mother was a gladiator and Amaranta had chosen to go the other route. As a teen she was now a scholar with the hope of one day becoming a healer.
"Which brings me to the lesson I wanted to give my beautiful slave today." she smiled it did kind of giver her butterflies in her stomach to think of Aadi has sher slave, though he would only be a slave for a short time, to prove that he was worthy of holding an honorable title. "Today I want to teach you about the ranks my dear."
Chi
His ears went up. Then went back down.. Nodding as though he understoof that training she must be going through. Taking a step as he nudged her shoulder , turning and laying on the medium sized rock right in front of the den. "Another leason? Of ranks?" He questioned and let his ears be fuller and open.. somehow being named her slave was a happy time.. while sometimes. It was lonely. "Ah.. mother then." Looking up at her.. eagered looking though .. ranks and such didn't FULLY interest him as much now..
nessiaing
Amaranta frowned lightly, "I am sorry its just a boring topic, but I just want you to know all that I can tell you so that you can be a citizen and not just a slave... though I do like having you as my very own." she winked at him and grinned. "I will try to make it as plain less as possible." she told him with a nod.
"To start, I will pick the beginning. Its very simple. As you already know when outsiders come into the pride they are slaves till they have proven themselves. Slaves have two categories, lion or leopards, who are higher in the slave ranks. Then below them is any species other then lion or leopard."
Taking a deep breath Amaranta studdied him, hoping that he was still following everything she was saying. "Just abvove the slaves is the youth's of the pride, thats all of the young ones born to pride citizens." she paused giving her male a moment to digust.

Such politics he started to get when she spoke about it. Other than that, he didn't move his brain too much in to it. But he sat there looking at her.. his ears at attention and soaking in like a sponge.. but some things just went in one ear and out the other, that again wasn't his fault. Trying to learn it.. it did try. His tail wagging to and fore..Just a late adolescent. What was he suppose to do? just listen like a slave..
"I don't mind." He suggested and let off a soft smile. Like he did. "I like hearing new things of this pride after all. Especially when its you, a dear friend who is kind enough to teach it to me." He was kind about it, and also.. he had grown a lil and understood this is what had to be learnt if he had to survive here.
He leaned over to her.. and softly in some affection rubbed his nose against her neck.. "You know.. I'll always be yours. Even if my chains have disappeared though. That you can guarantee."
But slowly he aparted from her.. "Slowly I've come to understand that.. except the subject on lions." His mood changed.. serious tone. "I rather not hear of it. I understand this place is ruled by a lion.. but lets not bring THAT subject up. The others you will have my fully attention over." The leopard's tail padded to the ground.. as his butterfly made his way over to ama's ear. Flapping its wings slowly til it stopped.. The monkey swung about in the tree, then was put to a stop as he heard Aadi's change of tone. His skin hands twirling him in a higher tree and he looked down to the leopards.. In wonderment of what was going on.

Amaranta smiled she was very proud of Aadi he was listening so well and showing a real interest in the pride. This was a promising feature. He would after all be able to learn fast and rise in the ranks of the pride. He would make her proud she was sure. When Aadi's butterfly fluttered around her head she twitched her ears, dancing along side it.
"Ok well once you reach adolecense the choices begin. As teens lion and leopard cubs have the choice of either being a gladiator or a scholar." Amaranta herself had chose to be a scholar, not having the interest in fighting, she felt that her brains were more of a use, and she didn't want to damage her beautiful pelt.
"Finally when you are an adult that is when you get the most choice. Gladiators have the choice of Warrior or Hunter. The Executioner also comes from the Gladiators but there is only one in the pride. Those who were Scholars have more choice. There is the choice of Teacher, Artisit, Philosopher, and Healer." she took a deep breath she was finding it hard to keep up with herself much less someone else.
"The Executioner, Philosophers and Healers are members of the Senate. Along with the pride Elder, Priests, Oracles and of course the Ceasar and his heir." There that was it, that was everything for the ranks of the pride. She had told him all and it hadn't taken her too long.
"I know its a lot my dear" she said to the male leopard nuzzling up to him as she spoke. She was very happy that he had joined her home to be with her. It would be a real home with him here.

He tried a smile.. She was so in to her ranks.. her speeches. She was good and he felt she was going to crash if she kept this up. "Ah.. so many choices then?" He asked as if adding to what she was saying. The ranks would be hard to remember with all that entails in them.
"I guess you already found a place then for me?" He laughed softly.. it was too tender and kind to take EVERYTHING seriously. He was going back to the kind aadi in his past and nuzzling her as probably in mid sentence he tackled her playfully..
Softly licking at her neck.. Words. Actions. Nuzzling in to her. "Maybe I can be a gladiator!" Growling at her playfully with a smile as he tried to bite at her. "Maybe then you'd be protected from everything.." Laughing.. but his heart was already an artist.. but he would do anything for her. Thats how he knew that staying her was the right choice. Nuzzling his whole side of his face against her fur.. taken in by her.. smell and essence. His butterfly waving about.. above them. His monkey giggling up in the tree then falling down to only be saved by his tail.
"Would you want me to~?" Asking against her fur.. "Would that be a good rank to hold up the family~ ." He chuckled.. playfully nawing on her ear. Like a goat to grass..

Amaranta cuddled into her Aadi, the leopardess was very pleased that her mate had come to join her here. As much as the pride and her family probably brought the worst out in Amaranta she would never leave it, not even for Aadi, it had been something that was bread into her something that would never change. She giggled lightly like a young cub again as he chewed on her ear.
"Well being a gladiator would probably be one of the most noble jobs you could do. After all I am already on my way to being a healer we have the educational side covered. You could be the gaurd of the family, you know for one day when we have our cubs." she moved into his masses of dark fur, they had never talked about having cubs before but this seemed as good as time as any to bring it up, they were after all discussing their furtures.

He liked when she was.. like in the old days. He put an arm around her and softly pampered her in soft groomings.. He was ok being a gladiator. For her.. everything had been for her and the future she saw.. that he wasn't always aware of. Looking up in to the trees to find his monkey looking at him as if sad. Oh.. right. He ... showed so much more creativity than being a brainless gladiator.
Sighing. "Right. Brains are covered." He said softly.. but looked back to her astounded.. "Cubs?" Questioning her.. he never even thought about it, never did it cross his mind to share his genes.. Thinking on it as he looked.. "I better have a title better than a slave before then." Ears back. "What does mother think of you having children?" Barely ever meeting her mother but knew she was an elder of the pride and her daughter was to be well looked after.
The dark face before the soft blue eyes that looked so dear to his .. significant other. Though he didn't publicly show it.

"Yes cubs my dear my mother would be upset really if we didn't bear offspring. Her policey is that our gene is strong and we should try to continue to spread that gene as far as possible, she is very proud of her heritage." Amaranta sighed she knew that her mother emant well in her own odd fashion but at the same time it was a rather annoying way to live ones life.
"Yes my dear we will wait till you have got you rank, a rank that we can be proud of we wouldn't our offspring to hold lesser ranks. It wont be long now before your title is changed and then we can discuss the business of our starting our family." She smiled lightly.
"Thats enough business for today lets go for a stroll." Amaranta said lightly before rising to her feet ready to take a walk.

"Ah... so we can pass on your 'mother's genes." He chuckled. Softly taking a lick to her ear then slowly swirving around her and up on all fours. As though he was beginning to get old, just in gestures. As he looked up with one eye on his monkey.. giving a gruff as to say 'shut your pie-hole' sorta thing.. Then as he did so- his butterfly trickled about and softly settled against Aadi's ear. Still. Even matured.. Older. Not yet adult but getting there, his butterfly still followed.. And knew every inch of his life even if he had hated and dreaded it.
Taking up her request on a stroll like a good slave and took a step before letting her go first for him to follow. "I wouldn't mind. Though~ of course. The pride is about status." He said to her.. in a tone where he believed that politics were merely a sign of a higher beings.. he just wanted to co exist with family.. but he was slowly going in to~ and agreeing with something beyond what he imagened.. As if every step he took behind her led to a deeper hole.
"But passing on my own~ was never thought of.. but perhaps if its also passed on with yours?" Chuckling. "Or you wouldn't take a mate with such low of status...a rogue that still has feet that wonder?"
