 The sun glinted off her dazzlingly clean coat as she made her way towards the pride rock. The great tall monolyth which the world she had been born in to was named. The pridelands she had decided was a very large place. Having grown up in a small den with her mother, Tufani, her four brotehrs and one sister she had always been the quiet one. Happy to be the last to glean her mothers look and happy not to go when it was time for the hunt, time for the adventure or even simply time to move away from the old den. Radi had clung to her mother like glue up until recently, her paws and legs now larger than they had ever been, larger now than she had ever been and at least a little more confident than she could admit.
This day she had decided her paws must take her to the rock where the kings and queens of this land had come from. Those kings and queens which her mother spoke so reverently of. Still, as she approached the great rock, the mass of lions around it unnerved her a little. Though she had a large family, radi was extremely shy, especially around those she didn't know, of course outside of her family she didn't really know anyone. Taking the leap and stepping in to the crowd below her was prooving to be a more difficult task than tearing herself away from her mother for an afternoon.
Laying down in the grass, she took a slow, calming breath. Perhaps, if she simply stayed here for a while everyone would go away and she could climb up the rock and back down again without facing too many others. Deciding this was the best course of action she settled, allowing the bright sun to shimmer off of her dazzling coat. She could wait, all these lions had to go some time right?

After a long moment, he let out a soft breath and it danced across his paws, another cloud rising and hovering around in the air. His paw came after and brushed across the spot, and he lifted it to flick one nail out with a stupid grin crossing his features. Had anyone been watching, they might have been confused, but to him it all made sense.
"All I need to do is this...and than a flick there...and there we go!" Standing, he grinned again and looked at his masterpiece, tail wagging like a wild dog and eyes sparkling. Below, a picture of a lioness sat, one he had many lovely memories of, despite how dark his family of the past was. To him, his mother would always be a loving goddess.

Radi was quite surprised when she heard the voice ofthe large lion. Creeping forwards slightly her soft green eyes fell upon the large male and she slowly slipped through the long grass her ice green eyes meeting dark green ones as the long brittle grass parted before her. Her gaze lowered all too quickly as she found herself stareing. She had never really met an adult male before. Her father had left them before they were born. So seeing this large, maned beast before her was certainly something to be a little in awe, if not to be frightened of.
As she lowered her eyes though they were met with the picture of a lioness, she smiled wistfully, her long tail swaying as she tilted her head. "Thats pretty." She whispered, her voice excessively quiet. Radi had always been a female of few words, having grown up in a large litter she was used to having to get her point accross in as few words as possible when her other siblings were silent.
Lifting her head very slowly, she finally allowed her gaze to once again fall upon the large tan lion. "Radi" she said simply, her voice always a whisp of a thing. "are you a boy lion?" Perhaps the question was foolish and would no doubt have sounded foolish to anyone close enough to hear her voice, but no male had entered her life that looked quite like this one, certainly she had brothers but none of them had all that fur around their faces.

Mastema saw a flash of white, but payed no heed to it. In fact, he hardly every noticed those around him, save for when he was on duty as a scout, and he even missed his mother when she returned. And she was a bright red lioness if there was anyone.
So, when she finally spoke it was like a breeze, and it caught him very much off guard. Lifting his head once more, he flickered an ear with confusion written all across his face. But than he saw her, and finally got an idea just what was going on, despite how quiet she spoke. Stepping closer slightly, he tilted his head at her next word, before she asked the question and he couldn't help but grin.
"Of course I am a boy," he said with a shake of his mane, "Else I wouldn't have this mass of fur all over my head!" Giggling at himself and the seemingly joke, he sat down and right on top of his picture, forgetting about it completely as he looked at the new feline who seemed almost as clueless as he was at times.

"I.." She paused a blush running accross her pale cheeks, this was something extremely obvious due to the fact that her fur was so pale. Her dusty green eyes looked up at him shyly. "I'v never seen an adult male before" her voice barely a whisper came as if it was an echo. "it's very nice..the fur.." her brow creased a little and she shook ehr head, she really didn't know what she was doing. Why did she have to address a male on her journey and ask him was he a boy? he must think her very stupid.
Licking her pale lips and trying to draw some water fromt hem for ehr tongue had become very dry in her emaressment, she let her ears droop and twitch slightly, she didn't know what else to say to him. "I have brothers...they just..don't have as much ..well fluff" She rolled her shoulders then in a nervous manner, she was digging herself in deeper perhaps? This male seemed far from wanting to hear her lifes story.
She seemed a little confused that he sat upon the masterpeice he had drawn, but then she supposed it would have been wiped out by the paws of those around them any way, still she had thought it very pretty. "Do you always make the sand have an image?"

He watched her, a bit oblivious to the nervous manor that she conducted herself. Instead, he just let her whisper on, tail thumping slightly and drifting across the dirt like a paintbrush. When she commented about his fur, he grinned with bright teeth and flopped the chocolate fur once more.
"Naturally, I wasn't born with all of this, but I guess when you are an adult your body shows it to the world by sprouting out...kinda like flowers!" He spurted out, the revelation occurring when he glanced around to the grasses and his little playground.
Distracted once again, he turned back at her last question, a bit confused until he suddenly remembered. Standing sheepishly, he looked at the now blob of a mother before laughing once again and turning back.
"Actually, I don't have much time to draw anymore...mostly I am off scouting the borders, but often I chase the bugs through the grasses or pretend I'm in far off worlds of fire, water and all bright green! It's fun getting a chance to be somewhere you aren't or someone you're not!"

Radi watched him for a long moment as he spoke, she wondered was he playing with her? Wasd he treating her like a fool because she did not know he was a male, or what these pictures were? Flickering her ears a bit, she decided no, he wasn't, perhaps he simply liked to play.
"My brotehrs have a little bit here." She pointed to the top of her head, her tail curling around her toes now as she listened to him speak of what he liked to do. He was a border guard? Her mother had told her of them. They protected everyone from the bad things outside.
"I used to chase bugs..when I was smaller.." She whispered , smiling whistfully remembering those days when she was young enpough to get away with it. Now her siblings thought her silly for chasing things too small to eat. Waste of energy they said.
"It's nice being a lion." The phrase was out befroe she could really think about what she was saying, hjer lips pursed and she bit her tongue a little nervously. This male had alot of imagination, but he seemed nice enough. "it's fun to pretend though.." she trailed off perhaps that wasn't what the tan lion meant, perhaps he meant a dream. She felt too foolish to try and correct her phrase though so she simply looked longingly at her paws as if trying to devise a way out of the situation she seemed to be digging her self deeper in to.

He nodded and watched her, remembering the times when he had just a tuff of the strange colored hair. It was weird, to feel the weight and the breeze in the growing mane, and most others just told him it was growing up. He didn't feel like he was an adult yet, though.
"When you were smaller? Why must size effect how you play?" He was taken aback by that comment, before laughing slightly at the idea, "I love playing now that I'm bigger...it's so much easier to catch things...though I do admit that it was a lot more fun hunting under the grasses than the ease of seeing over it."
He nodded at her next comment, and than the one after that made him nod even more. His mane fluffed out when he stopped, and he quickly pushed it back down.
