Zeki tilted his head and strutted over toward her, though she may not see that, he did it anyway. He purred and loomed over her. His body was still wet with water and sweat. He smiled.
"How about we keep this place a secret, huh? Don't want some prey beast walking in on me bathing. That would be embarassing," he simply gave a smirk, that oh so charming smirk before moving away from her.
Sitting back in the water to wash off some more, he spoke over his shoulder.
"I knew a beautiful girl had beautiful eyes."

Ah. So the little lion played the game huh? Namaarie was rather surprised at this. Zeki was fairly suave and had a good sense of when to compliment... better than a majority of full grown lions that she had met.
She wondered briefly who had taught him how to flirt- a father or family member perhaps? "Indeed. Might be a chance for a good meal however; crocodiles cant have all the fun."
She raised an eyebrow at his comment on her eyes. She knew that bright purple eyes weren't something you saw everyday, and often she received comments on them. But from Zeki? It was just rather amusing. Namaarie sported a amused grin at chuckled.

"Crocodiles? Hah, I am sure anyone would what to get me," he spoke in jest as he dunked his head into the water, causing the mane on his head to drape and cling to his neck and face. With a habitual flip of his head, it slapped against his back. Zeki's golden paw reached up to mess with it so it gave it another look than that sleek, suave feel.
Wasn't his style to be sleek.
He turned to her and smirked at her.
"Ah, at least I was about to make you grin and chuckle. I got somewhere, huh?"

"Like I said... everyone has a somewhere. Even if its a nowhere." Namaarie was practically grinning from ear to ear. She wasnt aware until this moment how much she had missed conversations like these. She remembered the last lion who could hold his own, and it was at least a full month since then.
And this one still had a while yet before he was an adult! Zeki was shaping up to be quite the charmer. "So. What have you been doing to work yourself up in such a funk?"
Namaarie hadnt randomly chosen the word funk... she meant it. Zeki had smelt rather strongly before his bath.

"If you are talking about the sweat, simple. Every morning, I wake before the sun rising to run to the border and back. By then, I would be sleeping before the sun came up too far if at all. I have been trying to beat it from coming up before I reached my den. By the time I get back, I would already be like that and bath after. Or if I am up for it, on my way back. I tend to do so, at least I know I am pushing myself, right?" Zeki shrugged and smirked at her. She didn't seem to offensive by it and unlike those weird girls, attracted by it. With a shake of his fur, he slowly worked to smoothing out the ruffs and fluffs.
"Yeah, I understand what you mean, there is a somewhere everyone has to be, even a nowhere," he responded. "What about you? Are you a somewhere... or a nowhere?"

To the border? Which meant he was probably a pridelander. It was about the only pride that Namaarie knew the location of. She sat up on her rock and looked over at him.
"I guess you could say I'm nowhere in particular." Which was completely true. Namaarie hadnt had a solid home since she was juvenile. "And what about you Zeki? What is your where?"

"I am where I belong. With my pride. With my family. And with my friends. I am here in the Pride Lands and thus I am happy," he chuckled and shook off again to have his fur fall into place again. However, as always, the generic cowlick still remained. Blah, whatever. He moved his way over to her and smiled.
"Then you are welcomed to stay at my den for as long as you like, Miss Namaarie. You see, I live there alone and it's awfully big. Gets lonely, y'know?" He asked. "It's good to feel a nice warm body beside you."

"I am sorry Zeki, but I'm afraid I have to decline your offer." She was almost tempted to say yes, since he was being so cute about it. But that would never do.
"Nowhere ... is actually where I belong right now. I'll find my somewhere oneday, but I'm afraid its not in the Pridelands... nor in your den." Namaarie winked at him and then laughed.
She never felt truly at ease around the Pride Lands. Bad memories haunted the places she remembered from her child hood. Still sometimes, it was nice to return to the place she once called home. Nicer still when she met someone of interest.

Zeki simply chuckled and nodded.
"Well, it was an offer. If you ever decide to need a warm body and a shelter to sleep, mine will always be opened for you. It's just a ways from where we just were. Just let me know if you're droppin' by," he laughed.
"Well, I hope you find your place in this world, Miss Namaarie. It's a big world, you have to fit somewhere," he replied with a smile. Not a charming one. Not a sweet one. Not a seductive one. Just a plain, innocent smile.

"I'll keep it in mind." She smiled back at him. He was a charming young man, and Namaarie had no doubt that someday, he would be sought after by many a female. Well, as soon as his mane grew in anyways.
She returned his smile, although hers had more of an amused feeling to it. "And I hope your place in this world always stays happy, dear Zeki." And she meant it.
Home was nothing if it haunted you.

Zeki chuckled and licked her. She was a sweet female, as much as he would have liked to stick around with her, he had places to go and lions to meet. Though he wouldn't mind sticking around for a second more.
"I have a feeling, this place in the world will always be good to me and I hope you could see that yours is still looking for you."

Namaarie smiled and ruffled his hair with her paw. "I'm sure it is, I just have to find it first."
She stood and turned from him, pausing for a second to turn back and grin. "Well, it was nice meeting you Zeki... have a good life kid. See you around sometime." Smiling to herself, she walked away from the Pride Lands and the charming young lion.
Namaarie began to whistle. It was shaping up to be a good day.
