A slender white shape shifted slowly through the grass as a white lioness wandered through the plains and looked about, searching for a small stream to rest at and have a drink from. Pink eyes fluttered as a gentle breeze wafted past the lioness, but she continued, even though the breeze here was nice, she knew a tree or two might be located near the stream she was looking for.
With a gentle sigh, she paded foward, eyeing a small tree up ahead a ways. The lioness figured the tree was the marker for the stream she was searching for, she knew one was around here somewhere.

The morning had been highly uneventful for the male, his large paws thudding dully against the terra as he walked on. Flicking his ivory tail to and fro, the gentle breeze rippled through his mane, tossing the locks of sand hue about. Allowing his ruby orbs to drift shut, his haunches folded as he sat down beside the trickling stream. Usually, the lion could spend hours in one location in motionless solidute, letting his senses melt into the world about him as life went through its daily activities.
Sighing out deeply, his orbs flittered half way open as he locked gaze on the current as the water weaved around the rocks and against the small sandy shore. Often, he too wished he would be swept away downstream on the current, wondering where his travels would take him. This was Qiovi...the daydreamer, sharing some of the same characteristics as the wind which blessed the grasslands.

The wind once again blew past the white female as she paused her steps upon seeing a male by the stream. Unsure of what she should do, she took a few more steps forward and stood downstream of him a ways, trying not to be too close. M'Dimu had had her encounters with territorial males, and did not wish to chance another.
Her slender tail with it's bright green tuft flicvked out behind her and curled at the tip as she leaned down to the water and gazerd at it for a moemtn before taking a long cool drink from it. The cool water rejuvinated her as she had been walking for quite a time, and she gave a soft sigh as she sat downa nd cast a glance back to the male just upstream of her.

As the male listened intently to the chorus of nature, a mild interruption occured in the grand scale. Opening his eyes fully, his head rolled to his shoulder to spot another ivory femme just downstream, his ears perking slightly. Usually, when a female approached a male, it could be disasterous or pleasant depending on the situation. However, Qiovi decided that he could take the opportunity to actually make conversation and get to know some of the fellow lions in the grasslands.
Shifting his weight onto his paws, the lumbering male stood and began his approach towards the femme; head low as a smile spread on his lips. He didn't mean any harm, and kept his posture as such to not frighten her off. "Greetings, Madam....I could not help but admire the shade of green on your pelt, like the new buds of spring." He stopped a few feet from her, cocking his head to the side lightly.

At the sound of footsteps, and the males voice, M'Dimu almost jumped as she turned her head and spied him approach her. Her tail swished as he spoke, and from his tone, she gathered he meant no harm, so she relaxed and smiled. His voice was relaxed and calm, as was he. He stood a few feet away, giving her a comfortable distance between them, and his stance was very unagressive.
"Why thank you... your pelt reminds me of sand... may I... May I ask for your name? Just so I know the name of the lion I speak with..."
She asked simply, a small smile on her colourless maw. Her tail swayed slowly behind her as she eyed him once again. He seemed to be a rugue like her. She could tell by the way he looked... but it didn't matter, so long as he wasn't of the firekin pride.

Smiling secretly at her jump, Qiovi always found it cute to see females so startled...even if it was such an insignificant gesture to most. Cocking his head to the side as a lazy smile crawled on his maw, the large male shook his large sandy mane before dropping to his haunches beside her. She was cute, he concluded, and definately wouldn't mind having a small polite game of flirt with her.
"Aye...I was born up in the sand dunes of the north. Beautiful seas of sand for as far as the eye can see untill one reached the ocean - to which the ground became in its own right; a sea of ivory sands. Much like your own pelt." He mused softly, oh how he missed his home - yet there was simply nothing fun to do up there anymore.
"My name....I would be honoured for you to have it. It is Qiovi...the humble rouge." His head dipped low, as his paw moved to place over his heart. Sitting upright, he flashed a pleasant smile before continuing, "I hope it would not be too much trouble for me to ask of your name, Miss?"

"I am called M'Dimu Chanua, lady of the lime blossoms..."
She said sweetly as she smiled at the white and sand coloured male. He seemed charming, it almost made that seclusive part of M'Dimu cautious, but she merely assumed he was the type of male to flirt until he grew bored of the current target. As he spoke of his home, he could only imagine would it looked like. She would have hated living near so much sand, but that was her, she lived living things, like plants.
"I'm affraid I come from no where.. I was born under a wandering star, and since I can remember, I've been traveling... maybe I'll travel north and see this sea of sand you spoke of..."
She was normally use to being alone, but this change of company seemed fine by her. The male was classy and kind, not rough and cruel like she had seen in her travels before. And even though she knew she had no reason to be cautious, or worry, she still kept a well trained, and keen eye on him for any suspicious movements, or actions. Words hardly ever gave people away as being rotten on the inside, it was how they acted that one had to watch for.

"I do not believe I have seen a Lime blossom before, but it must be lovely to have such a stunning resemblance to you."
Qiovi smiled thoughtfully, perhaps he had seen one, yet the male wasn't too obervant of nature most of the time to recall a Lime blossom in his memories. It was true, this male was a senseless flirt however on the flipside he held such a proper and gentlemanly position that it seemed to counter his womanizing mannors and make them into simple appreciative comments. Was it such a sin to make females feel as beautiful and special as he saw them to be?
"That is an interesting story, M'Dimu....It may not be as long as you, but since I left I too have been following aimlessly stars in the sky. If you do travel up there, make sure you arrive at nightfall....you will not regret the sights you see with a moon hanging overhead."
A soft chuckle arose from his velvet vocals as he slowly stook and strode into the gentle currents. The cool waters felt soothing on his sore paws, allowing a soft sigh to escape his ivory lips as ruby orbs glanced down at his warped reflection. "Excuse my curiosity, yet are you in a Pride?" His gaze shifted back to the femme, Prides had always interested him...so many different beliefs and rules, each unique in their own right.

A sly smale came to the female maw. That was am interesting question, it had an easy answer, but she hadn't given her answer simple before, and had no plan to start now.
"Well... that is why I am traveling actually... I am looking for a pride I heard about in rumours from a few other rogues... I am not sure if it is real or not... but I go searching for it..."
The pride wasn't one whose name she remembered, but she knew where the lions were thinking of creating it's borders, and she intended to travel there and seek out the leaders of the pride. She would never tell of her intention to become a spy, or scout for the pride, not to someone she jsut met. No, and that wasn't her only reasoning behind her wanting to join this certain pride.
