"That just seems like an amazing number," he said in awe, "Such a wonderful thing too, my mother would have given so much to have a large litter." His crimson cheeks depended to an even darker color as she said he was nice enough, he was not used to compliments. Her asking such a question did not phase Kubwa in the least, however much apprehension Mia showed Kubwa was clueless and truly enjoying himself in conversation.
"You have to promise not to laugh," he said brightly and without waiting for a reply he answered, "I love to climb things, anything, the closer I can be to the sky the better, feeling the wind in my mane..is just fantastic." He looked away for a moment in case she really was going to laugh, but a little piece of him knew she would not laugh at him. He would wait for her response to his before asking her her own hobby.

"Yes, comfort in numbers I suppose for our family." She felt more safe that way, especially around her father, and especially after what had happened to her mother... She didn't find his interest to be funny or strange at all, in fact she was comforted by the fact that perhaps now he wouldn't find her minor obsession to be so strange. "I don't see anything wrong with that, I've never tried climbling though." She said gently, maybe she should one day, just for experiences sake. "My interest is weird, though.." Her nervous smile showed again.

"Safety.." he whisper and then his eyes widened out of awe.
"You've never climbed ANYTHING?" He said with excitement and shock in his voice, "I'll have to show you my tree sometime..."he paused, "I mean..umm...if you would want me to?" he added awkwardly. his expression changed from embarrassment to curiosity, the color slowly starting to drain from his cheeks.
"Oh, please tell me? I told you my weird little hobby? Tell me yours?" He pleaded playfully, getting more and more comfortable around her.

She giggled sweetly. He reminded her of a cub, as he suddenly turned playful and put her more at ease. "I'd like that actually, you can show me how its done!" She loved learning new things, and when they involved anothers interest she was more than curious. Blushing herself, invisible beneath her chocolate fur she smiled. "Well, basically I love to learn, but I love numbers, and counting, especially. I can relate alot to numbers and they help me make sense of things and organise myself." She admitted. She kept her family on tab by numbers, which seemed a horrible thing to do, but she did remember names, too, and it was nothing to do with her feelings towards them. She loved her family dearly.

"Haha, it'll be fun," He chuckled and a broad smile stayed planted across his face. Kubwa had met most of his friends climbing, even one of his lost loves he met climbing a tree so it seemed only natural to him to suggest climbing, it was how he learned more about people.
"Numbers..counting? You mean like, I have 1 son, and 1 mom..or something complicated? Counting.." he echoed again thinking about her favorite thing to do, it did not seem odd, but it did not seem at all like climbing either. He shrugged and hoped his words would press her to explain further.

"I'm sure it will!" If Kubwa enjoyed it, then the keen lioness had to give it a go. Perhaps it would be fun. She wondered how much more she could learn about this interesting male. Expanding on her hobby she spoke slowly, not slow enough to be patronising, but just so he could grasp the concept a little easier, she'd been told she was confusing before. "Well, basically, I can link numbers to anything and anyone, So I link a number to my family, for example, one, would be my other brother Mchele." Pausing, her kind marroon eyes widened. "I like doing sums too, so basically just adding numbers onto one another and find totals, like a puzzle. Counting, is like keeping a rhythm, it keeps me at ease." She admitted.

He thought about what she said, absorbing the fact that it was not only her hobby, but something that helped her through her day, an interesting concept to think the least. "It sounds like a very interesting tool, and might even come in handy," he agreed and was thrilled that Mia would tell a complete stranger something about herself, maybe there were still nice females in the world afterall.
"Sums?" He questioned, never having heard the term before, "I know it is something to do with numbers, but the only thing I know to do with them is count." He enjoyed hearing her talk slowly, more at ease, she knew how to explain without making him feel silly. He found himself thinking she would be a wonderful teacher to cubs.

She hoped he wouldn't be taken aback by her open attitude towards him, she was quite at ease and felt that he could be trusted, and that he wouldn't tease her, after all, he had trusted her with his hobby that he thought she would find silly. Continuing with her gentle slow tone she explained in further detail. "Basically, you know how it goes, one, two , three...etc. Well, two is the second number, and if you take away one, which is the first and smallest value, you are left with one. Three is the third number, so take away the smallest number again, one, and you are left with the number beforehand. Two." She giggled. "I'm sorry if I'm making no sense." She shook her head lightly.

He chuckled happily, excited that he actually understood what she was saying, "No, no, you're a lovely teacher! Let's see, so if the first number is four..and you take away two..then you're left with two?" He tested, his speech knocked down to a creep as he worked the problem out in his mind, "I'm wrong?" He questioned, hoping that he was right, but then again if he were wrong she would talk in that wonderfully slow tone. He didn't feel silly like he usually would being approached with a new concept, she was a very clear and concise teacher.
(Sorry such a small post. <3)

She beamed. "No, thats exactly right!" Mia grinned, a lovely teacher... Perhaps one day she could teach cubs, as she had wished to. She loved to educate just about anyone, and spent alot of time dreaming about facts and figures herself. Looking up to the white male she smiled shyly. Another interesting character she'd met. It was nice to finally become more social.
[Perhaps I could set up another RP when you're ready and he could show her about climbling? xD It would be rather fun.]

He beamed right back at her, "As my mother says, you learn something new everyday!"
He pulled in a breath and let it out slowly, "I don't mean to cut our meeting short, Mia, it was lovely meeting you, but I really should be heading back, I get a bit antsy not knowing where Tete is all of the time, even if he's nearly an adult!" He chuckled, "How about we meet up and I can teach you to climb?" He would rattle off some directions to the meeting place if she wanted him too, all up to her really.

She nodded sweetly. Mia could understand, she'd worry about her father from time to time, except he was older than her, but still! At his offer she would have blushed slightly, but it was hidden beneath dark brown fur and a honey mask. "Of course, that'd be lovely."
They exchanged directions, smiles and farewells, and with a sense of acheivement and happiness, Mia trotted off towards the horizon.
