Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mys'ketay laid awkwardly on her back, allowing the sun to warm her belly. It was still fairly early in the day and she had only just moments ago woken up. Her belly felt as cold as the earth when dug deep into. Slowly she closed her eyes and allowed herself to slip into a day dream of when she had first made her way into the rogue lands and away from her father. It felt like so long ago, but in retrospect it was only a few months. In that time she had learned so much not only about herself but the world. When she had first made her appearance in these lands she had not been capable of hunting and distrusted every male she came across due to the experiances she had had with her father. But as time went by and her many encounters with males, she learned that not all males were evil like he had been to her. Although, there were quite a few.

After several minutes of laying there she felt content with the warmth her body had recieved from the sun and rolled over. She opened her eyes, squinting slightly. Her eyes making sure to scan the horizion. Once he was content with what she had seen she happily trotted over to a watering hole she had found the night before and began to drink from it, making sure to drink all that she could because who knew when the next time she would be able to drink again.

Since coming to the rogue lands Mys'ketay's skills had grown, however, it wasn't uncommon for others to sneak up on her. After all, she was no where in their league. She was still to new for that. So when the male with the dark pelt appeared out of the blue for a drink at the watering hole she was far to surprised then she should have been. His body was black, with red stripes covering his body. His mane was a darker red then his markings which blended perfectly with his pelt, but his eyes, they were the color of the sun when it was setting. Mys'ketay couldn't deny that he was handsome. As she lifted her head, turning it so she could get an even better view of him she hatched a plan.

This male would more then likely be up for a conversation, as most were. Although, she wasn't sure if this was a good decision on her part. But she needed to practice talking to males so that the next time she saw him she could show him how better she had gotten since she saw him last. After all, how she was now was all thanks to him. Taking in a deep breath she turned her body towards the male and walked a few steps closer to him. "Hello there." She said with a friendly smile. "Nice day out isn't it?" Mys'ketay asked, trying to get the male to talk to her.

Mys'ketay knew nothing of the darkness lingering within the male, not even seeing it in his eyes. If she would have been looking she would have found it. But since she wanted to desperately prove herself a changed lioness she decided not to look to hard into him. "I suppose so." She said with a light laugh. "I don't really know what that's like." Mys'ketay said gesturing to her own light pelt. Once more her blue eyes scanned his pelt for a moment, making sure to take in all the details she could.

"What brings you this far out into the lands?" Mys'ketay asked curiously, not even thinking to gauge his response. Her heart felt as if it was racing in her chest. She was taking a risk by not looking deeper into him. But if she did this conversation could potentially be over, and she wasn't willing to give up. She needed to be able to look at a male and not question his every move and word. Otherwise, how could she ever survive around males? She would never be able to trust them, love them, or have cubs of her own someday. No. If this male turned out to be bad well then that was just another lesson. It would help her somewhere in the long run.... Right?

Continuing to be naive, she still didn't notice anything awry with him. In fact she was trying so hard not to concentrate on his possible personality that she began to feel like Crue was this amazing stud lion she had always pictured in her head as a adol when she first began to notice that she liked boys a lot more then she had before. "Well I'm sorry." She said with a slight frown. In this instance she stepped closer and almost nuzzled the male. The motherly side of her had shown itself, but thankfully she had for the most part repressed it. "Umm." She said clearing her throat, hoping he wouldn't notice what she almost did. Certainly he would tell her she was a weirdo and run off. "I'm Mys'ketay. It's very nice to meet you...." Mys'ketay responded, trailing off a bit for him to answer. She figured since he hadn't answered her question about what he was doing so far out in the lands that whatever the reason was not a good one. Little did she know it was her.

Mys'ketay was surprised at the males reaction and tried not to read to deeply into it because in that instance she knew she wouldn't like it. Whatever it may be. "Nice to meet you Crue." She said, mentally shaking off her skepticism. "Well, I'm searching for my home." Mys'ketay said, looking away and nodding. Then she returned her gaze back to Crue once more. "But it's very hard to locate. Since I never asked where it would be if I wanted to go there." She said trailing off once more. Finally she sighed, giving up. This was not a time to be depressed. She would find the pride. Even if she only found it years from now when she was to old to enjoy it. "And it hasn't been to dangerous." She said with a playful grin.
