Their pride was a small one, made up mostly of those who had decided it was time to leave the Pridelands for whatever reason suited them the most. Regardless of the small size, Eonar thought of it as her home. While she was not born there, she had been taken from the Pridelands as a cub by her parents where a few families had up and left. Luckily for the still growing lioness that she was not alone and there were a few other cubs that she had been able to grow up with. With a heavy sigh the golden lioness laid herself down on a tanning rock near the outskirts of what they had laid claim as their lands. Another male had left that and with him another possible suitor. How her mother nagged her that she needed to find a male and finally give her grandchildren. Bah. At the rate she was going she'd end up an old hag with no children of her own. At least there was still some hope with the few remaining males, both older and younger than her.
Amber eyes slid shut as her ears turned back while her tail came up and tucked itself neatly beside her body. The sun was beginning to set on the horizon. Soon the lionesses would be back with the daily (if they were lucky) kill and just as soon she would hear the nagging voice of her mother once again.

Aman’thul lay beneath a tree, staring lazily ahead of him as he waited for the lionesses to return from their hunt. He had chosen a spot some distance away from the bulk of his small pride, lying in solitude as his mind wandered to various things. Mostly towards the future. Many of the males he had grown up with were starting to leave, off to find ladies of their own and start a pride, surely. Aman had little interest in leaving, at least at this point, though he wondered if he ever would. It was nice here, and at least here he was more likely to get a meal. Not that he wasn’t a perfectly capable hunter.
A lazy sigh escaped the male as he stretched his legs out before rolling over onto his stomach. Slowly the male pushed himself to his feet and made his way back towards the others.

Eonar's head raised, her eyes lazily opening at the sound of what could only be the paws of the hunting lionesses and it sounded slower than usual, likely meaning they had a kill with them. At least she would go to sleep with food in her belly, assuming she was lucky and the males of the pride actually left enough for the lionesses and cubs to eat from.
Rising to her paws, she was only able to walk maybe a few feet before starting to stretch mid-stride followed swiftly by a yawn. Maybe this time they actually caught something large enough for everyone to be able to feast on instead of some going hungry. The tan lioness' ears went back and her expression sank as she saw what it was: a young zebra. With their sweet meat, many of the males were likely to take more then they truly needed, leaving an already small body with even less for the others to get their fill on.

As he made his way back towards the rest of the pride he heard the paw steps of what he assumed to be the returning huntresses. Aman'thul turned his head, and the sight confirmed his previous thoughts. The lionesses returned, and between them a kill. He came to a halt as they dropped it just out of the shade of a tree. It looked to be a zebra, a young one at that. He couldn't help but scoff a bit at their haul. The meat would be good, sure, but there was surely not enough there for everyone.
The dark male made his way towards the kill, which soon enough the other males were already sinking their fangs into. He waited aside the kill for a few moments, watching them greedily ripped apart the small body. At this rate he doubted anyone else would get anything. Without a further thought he moved forward and ripped a back leg from the body and quickly drug it away from the pair.

By the time Eonar was finally able to step forward and claim her bits of meat there was hardly anything left other then the skeletal structure. With a brief sigh she took a small mouthful, leaving whatever she could for the skinnier lionesses behind her before walking off back to her perch. As the golden figure laid back down her mind raced back to how her friends were doing in the Pridelands. That land always seemed to be flourishing and she could only wish she was back there with a fuller belly then what she was gingerly nibbling on now.

Aman'thul lay some feet away, his own meat lying untouched between his paws as he watched the males continue to ravage the small kill. When finally they had finished and abandoned it there was hardly anything left for the lionesses. It was such a paltry kill to begin with, he was not surprised they had gone through it so fast. Only half his attention was placed upon the lionesses picked at the remains, the other half in his thoughts. It was surely not the fault of the huntresses that they had so little, the lands here were just not so abundant.
He grabbed up the leg and walked back towards the other lionesses. He lay it down beside them, gaze shifting sideways to a gold female who had already walked off with her laughably tiny share. Quickly his gaze shifted back to his own share and he ripped off little more than a mouthful or two before pawing the food closer to another female. "Share this between the little ones." He spoke, smiling before grabbing his meat and making his way towards the pale gold female.

Hardly did she notice the approach of the darker male, her mind far too occupied on other thoughts to truly care at all either. Only when he was mere feet from her did Eonar raise her head, her mouth still chewing on her small morsel of food. Rather then just eat it whole, she had opted to chew it, flavoring her mouth for a longer amount of time. It was foolhardy to hope it would somehow feed her more but at least it gave the lioness a pleasing taste in her mouth for an hour or so.
"Yes?" She asked, unsure how to really address a male from the pride or if she shouldn't have said anything and simply spit her flesh out and offered it to him. Regardless, it was too later now.

It wasn't until he was a few feet away that she finally noticed him. Aman'thul sat down, setting his bit of meat on the ground as he did. "I hope you don't mind if I join you." He said, smiling lightly. "Just saw you over here on your own and thought you might like a bit of company." His gaze shifted from her to her meat, such a small share it was for such a lovely lady. She deserved a whole zebra, but it wasn't quite his place to decide who got what shares. However if nothing else he could do something with his own.
'I'm Aman'thul." He continued, once more looking to her. "Uhm, it's not much, but.." The male picked up his bit of meat, standing just long enough to lean forward and set it beside her before lying back down.

Surprise was written all over Eonar's face. She had expected something entirely different then what just happened but she wasn't sure exactly what she had been expecting; just not that! Grateful she nodded, bowing her head in thanks as she began to eat from his share. Of course the meat tasted wonderful and her belly was nearly empty, but Eonar restrained herself, trying to keep her manners that her mother had taught her. Raising her head to not appear as though she was starving, she spoke, "Thank you Aman'thul. I'm Eonar. You really didn't have to share though, you know."

The male smiled, quite pleased at her acceptance of his gift. "There will always be more meat, but not if no one has enough energy to catch it. Besides," He started, sitting up and placing a paw on his belly. "I think I can survive missing one meal." He certainly wasn't the roundest lion in the pride, but neither was he the thinnest. The perks of being a male, it seemed, though how foolish the idea was starting to seem to him.
Aman'thul lay himself back down. How beautiful she was. After a few minutes he realized he was staring and shifted his gaze for a moment. "I hope this means you are okay with my company while you eat. If not then I can leave."

At first Eonar would have agreed and loved for Aman'thul to have kept her company through the meal but it seemed lady luck did not favor either of them. A much larger, burly looking male came strolling back in, his belly round from the meal he had already consumed, obviously looking to see what was left of the kill. Without meaning to, the golden lioness narrowed her eyes giving him a glare while he wasn't looking. She gave an exasperated sigh as she nosed the haunch of meat back to Aman'thul. "I'd rather he not see me with a piece larger then I normally take. Aman'thul, maybe you should go for now, just to be on the safe side, though I'd love to spend more time with you later. Maybe after dark?"

Aman'thul's gaze followed the female's, falling upon the larger male. He watched him silently before turning back to Eonar as she spoke. "Yes, I'd love to see you again later." He spoke, smiling lightly as he picked up the meat. As much as he hated it, to carry his share away while she got barely nothing, he also did not wish for any trouble to come her way from doing so. With a small nod he turned and trotted off, his mind buzzing over the thought of seeing her again that night.
