 She blinked and sighed, tired from her day of training to become an Artisan. Yuma was lying sprawled out on his side, sleeping in the shade at her side and she was quite glad to do the same.
She yawned, her tongue curling, her eyes slightly glazed as she glanced out across the hot, baked ground. She liked this land. Not loved. Liked. She found it difficult to love anything now-a-days. Love had brought her nothing but terrible pain and heartbreak. She preferred to just fog over such things with a sense of...a sense of distance.
She certainly had become distant from others, even now in this pride she kept to herself when she was able. Except for Yuma, of course. Yuma was her dear friend and guide, even if he was a bit grumpy at times...
...well, all the time.
But she cared for him anyway and shifted so that her back lay against his, her eyes drifting closed to doze in the late afternoon.

Possibly on the complete other side of the scale, Mziwaziwa was a lover. She loved her pride, she loved her life, she loved her cubs, even though they weren't really completely hers, she loved them any way, loved them because they were cubs and because they needed her love. Everyone deserved a little bit of her and it was a rare occasion that she left the nursery to have some alone, adult time. There was always that one time though and this was it, an afternoon off to enjoy the sun and admire the temples, to simply be in this place without any noise or anything.
It was quite sad being alone. well except for Fleur. Looking back around herself she smiles at the little jackal and chuckles "You know I won't mind if you go and rest in the shade Fleur." She laughs quietly, the little dog followed her every where, helped her with cubs, she was her friend, probably her best friend, though the little jackal would say 'hello' to anyone."Oh no, I like coming with you, it's nice to be out and about." She smiles, her chocolaty brown eyes falling on the pair relaxing in the shade. "It's another lion and a jackal!" She yaps racing off towards the pair and sitting, almost on top of Yuma, her paws touching his and her tail whacking up a very sandy storm around her butt. "OHai!" She smiles, her tongue lolling. Mziwaziwa chuckles and turns in the same direction her jackal friend had run, her ears twitching "I'm sorry, she gets excited when she meets someone else with a jackal friend." She smiles at both Yuma and Anya apologetically. "I don't think we know each other, I'm Mziwaziwa and the hyper hound is Fleur." She nudges the little jackal away slightly so that poor Yuma had some space. "I hope we didn't disturb you too much." She smiles grooming the jackal for a moment like a child almost.Fleur barks happily wiggling her whole butt now that she'd said hello. "I just wanted to say hello! I like to see other jackals." She smiles, her tongue lolling happily. "I'm sorry if I upset you." She looks at the lion and the jackal in a doe eyed manner, though her butt never stops it's wagging movement. "They'll forgive me 'Ziwa!" She states, presuming they wouldn't really mind a glomp attack from an overly happy jackal.

She heard the sound of approaching paws but couldn't really tell whether they were real or floating amongst her dreamy, dozy state. By the time she realised that they were in fact very real, it was too late.
The lioness and the other jackal were upon them.
And, in the next second, something came flying towards them, pouncing straight onto Yuma. They both startled simultaneously and the mute rose onto all fours, instantly backing away, her fur on end.
She opened her mouth instinctively, her trembling body visible but slowing as she came to terms with what had happened. They weren't being attacked...they weren't. Besides. This other was a female. Females could be trusted. So could jackals.
As the jackal pounced on him in her out-going friendliness, Yuma gave a yelp of fear and literally flew onto his paws, snapping and growling and looking very...unimpressed.
His eyes settled immediately onto the female jackal and then rose up to the other lioness accompanying it.
"Of course you disturbed us!" He grumbled angrily. "We were sleeping. Now go away."
Anya, blinking, tilted her ears towards Yuma and looked suddenly torn for a moment. They had scared them, sure, but the smiles on their faces were so happy. They were the happiest pair she had seen in a long, long time.
She didn't want those smiles to go away because of Yuma.
Annoyed by his anti-socialness she swung her tail around and bopped him across the head, staggering him forwards a little.
Then, she looked towards them, her eyes apologetic.
