Nahodha'kota beamed, his dark coal black eyes watching the large female, he admired ehr for a moment, she was rather large for a femme, certainly she carried some gene that the dark male did not know of, she was close to his size even. He had inhereted some sort of large gene from his mother, and his father being a pridelander was rather large too. Once fully grown infact nahodha'kota would no doubt be a formidable looking beast with his jet black fur and no doubt roguish mane. Right now though, he was young and though fit was rather on the rolly side of things, growing up in the pridelands made you strong in differnt ways. He was heallthy because he was well fed and allowed to run in safty around the borders, taken care of by many lions and loved by his parents. He was healthy of mind and of body because of these things, perhaps this made him a touch nieve but that didn't matetr too much, the world would teach him what he didn't already know.
'Kota only paused for a moment to give a nod. "Ah'm preddy sure we can be pullin dah'n somethin big 'tween us lassy." He grinned his pure white teeth flashing in the sunlight, stark against those dark lips. He roleld his shoulders as he continued onwards, his onyx coloured eyes scanning now though, looking for a suitable prey beast for them to hunt, a small herd of antilope or zebra would do just fine though none seemed to be in the perimiter at the moment, he had no doubt they would come upon something soon enough. He was so hungry, he could eat a whole wilderbeast to himself he was rpetty sure!

White paws slowed down slightly and shoulders rolled gently as she took a few steps over towards the large rock she saw in the distance. It was time for the lioness to hunt again, though what she did wasn't entirely equivalent with hunting, it was more of... crushing.
Like any other big cat, Khepri was capapble of speeding up to a rather incredible speed for a short amount of time. Normally in that amount of time she would catch up to whatever was running from her and leap, crushing it to the ground in a few moments.
Golden eyes shimmered sharply and Khepri tapped across the distance over to Kota's side again, her tail thrashing and her steps soundless. One of her white tipped paws pointed out to a large waterbuffelo in the distance. Normally Khepri, even with her monstrous size, wouldn't mess with one of those beasts of the savannah. The horns could deal devastating gashes and scar bodies in the most hideous of all ways.
"'ow 'bout tha' biggun ovah there?" She whispered softly and grinned with her blood stained teeth.
A pridelander might not be able to take one down, being that they were used to hunting in huge groups, but with a monster firekin at their side, any lion could do just about anything. Which gave Khepri hope of course that the two of them would be able to feast like royalty in a few moments time.
It was a large water buffelo, a little on the old side, which meant it wouldn't run as fast or as far away. And it was alone instead of with a herd that would try and protect it if it was family. Khepri was sadistic when she was hungry, that was for sure, but it helped her eat so she didn't question it.
"If yo' take it's feet out from undah it... Ah can take it down."

'Kota tossed his slowly growing mane from his charcoal eyes and nodded. he was a silent hunter, his father had taught him to use his dark colouration to his advantage and his size helped him to bring down even the largest of prey. "Aye lassy, i can bout do that, jus' you watch them horns." He gave a slow roguish wink as he slipped off through the grass his body low to the ground his dark belly trailing the dusty ground almost. His dark eyes were fixed squarely upon the buffalo before him, his ears flattened against his dark head, he was ready to pounce, ready to take the beast under his claws and pull it down , for Khepri to take the kill.
He had no real blood lust the pirate of the pridelands, he did nowever know how to take down a beast and hold it down. This was a large creature but his confidence was high and he was pretty sure he and the red femme could bring it down betweenthem. He licked his lips, his spine swaying as he took the first leap to scare the beast in to running, his throat gave out a low, chesty roar, his pale fangs flashing as he went for the creature. He knew she would be near by the blood red female, he knew she would be here some where for him to take the final blow when he pulled the creature down.
His claws leapt out as he picked at the beast, teasing at it's back legs, he had gussed it would tirebefore he would and taking out it's back leggs too quickly could simply mean a kick in the jaw. He knew he had to use his weight to pull the creature down and his jaws soon found the rump of the creature, his claws engulfing it's back end as his back paws met with the ground and he pulled hard, using those heavily built shoulders to tug the creature to the ground.

The ex-firekin was already gone, her fur melding into the ground and across the savannah she prowled. It didn't take her long to get within distance to simply reach out and touch the monster, but she knew that if she did that the horns would snap in her direction and stab her before she could even react. Khepri was large but not stupid.
Blinking her eyes slowly as Kota drove the water buffelo away from her, Khepri put her paws to the ground and bolted after, not rising out of the long grass, but instead working her legs in an akward way to stay just beneath it. The speed she was going at would have swept any mane or puff of hair she had on the top of her head away, but Khepri didn't even have to worry about that as she was bald on top. One of the many bonuses of being born a firekin she supposed, she got the short fur and the lack of the rouge mane to weigh her down. The height bonus wasn't bad either.
Just as Kota swept the beast's hooves from under it, Khepri lunged and forced it to the ground, her claws digging into its shoulders and her teeth sinking right into the vein on the side of its neck. Blood oozed down her muzzle, staining her white muzzle red as the rest of her red body. A grin crossed it and she sunk her fangs deeper in before ripping them out, ripping the vein entirely.
In its dying throes of pain, Khepri was hurled from its back and onto the ground upon her shoulder. A grunt pulled from her but the lioness rolled to her feet almost immediatly, her eyes flashing playfully as she grinned wickedly and slowly licked the blood from her white muzzle.

He held the thrashing beast tightly with his claws as the deep red female took out it's life. At last when it's last breat was drawn he released the creature and stretched out his claws "I tell ya lassy, tis a meal fit fer a coupla pirates ne?" He grinned charmingly, roguishly allmost. 'Kota wasn't really one for being charming but he held a natural charm about him as most pirates do.
He leapt towards her when she was thrown off, though he soon relaxed and regained his seemingly cool charm "lassy they tides can be dangrous yanno?" he grinned again and looked at the large carcass, there was certainly plenty for a pair of hungry lions. "Mah guts bout ready for some 'o' that thar beastie lass." he walks over to the creature tearing in to it taking a large mouthful before he set his dark eyes on Khepri, his shadowy mane falling over those onyx like orbs. "common lass, plenty fer both 'o' us."
he settled down to eat then, he liked his food, this youngster of the pridelands and he wasn't about to slow down because theer was a female present, after all, she was his ship mate he wasn't trying to impress, her, though he made a mental note to rid the blood from his nose before he spoke again, blood dyed his only white spots red very quickly and he felt dirty if it was allowed to dry.

"Ya they can." Khepri said as she shook her shoulders slightly and licked the blood off of her muzzle slowly. "Bu' tha's why life's so amusin' eh?"
White paws took her slowly over the grass ack towards him and glanced over towards how he ate. Khepri didn't eat much and when she ate it was incredibly quickly. It was something she'd learned from being around hoards of bloodthirsty lions and being stranded on the savannah all alone for so many months. Food wasn't only a necessity, it was a rare one. If you didn't eat you didn't survive, if you didn't survive you didn't live.
And what would happen if you didn't live? Nothing.
So she settled down with her shoulder braced to his for a few moments and ripped two large chunks from the beast's belly almost instantaneously and inhaled them whole. It was really all she would need for quite a while. But just for good measure she took another bite and inhaled that as well before going to flop down on her side in the sun, letting the rays bake her smooth scars.
There was something to be said for simply relaxing after eating, but Khepri wouldn't let them rest for long. That carcass was already atracting birds and carrion from all sides, jackals would soon think themselves bold and try to rip pieces off while Kota was still eating, but she didn't mind. That was his lunch now, Khepri had had enough.

Nahodha'kota happily jarred his shoulder against the deep red female his nose buried deep in the carcass of the creature. He wasn't about to let ehr think he was weak just because he was raised in the bosom of the pridelands. Still, he chewedhis food and savoured the meat though he did eat fairly swiftly, he wouldn't usually eat this fast at home but he felt her urgency to move onwards so he ate his fill rather more swiftly than usual and gave a loud belch , rolling his jet black shoulders and allowing his small flock of mane to fall away from his eyes he gave Khepri a roguish grin "Aye lassie I be 'boout ready now" He padded up to her and headbutted her in a friendly manner as he licked his lips, turning his now blood stained white streaks back to white again.
"What barein' are we headed on lassy? Mah feet be itchin to feel the waves beneath me paws" He grins playfully his charcoal grey eyes grinning. This would be a fun adventure. He was certainly glad he had gained this strong red female as a companion, he guessed they would aprt ways one day, she no doubt to join the pride she was longing to join and he home to the pridelands, to his family. But for now, adventure was afoot and the world was crying out his name, the sea was calling to him and he was loath not to answer.

Lifting her red and white head to glance up at the retreating sun, Khepri felt her eyes shimmer as she stood up on her white paws and glanced back to Kota again. He was interesting to have around, that was for sure. While it wasn't normal for a lion to want to be anywhere around her, Khepri didn't take it for granted that she was being accepted for once and with his own accent being as thick if not thicker than her own the large female was finally at peace with herself.
"Well... th' way Ah see it, we shoul' be able ta get to the ocean in anotha' sun or so." The large lioness stood slowly and stared in the direction of the ocean. Her eyes flashed with fire as she tried to figure out what it was she wanted to do, how far she wanted to go on this particular day.
Since it was almost sundown she figured they really shouldn't keep moving, but then again he seemed to have lots of energy left to burn so there was a considerable chance that they'd get a good distance before having to slow down and relax again.
"If yo' wanna keep movin' then let's get goin' cap'n." She winked a gold eye at him and bolted, her large paws smacking into the dust as she kept going.

He laughed when she bolted off. "Ah'm roight beind ye lassy!" he chuckled as she called him her captain. He liked that, he liked it alot it made him swell with pride infact and he puffed out his dark chest, the white diamond flashing in the slowly setting sun as he caught up to her, pressing his shoulder tight to hers, his dark fur blending with her deep red as they ran along a very rough, roguish smirk on his lips. "tell me missy, ow long ya think we'll be arunnin like this befer ye rudder starts 'urtin' hmm?" He lips turnewd in a wide, cheeky smirk then as he glanced sideways at the dark ruby red female.
"A sailors life fer, me, tis a sailers loife fer me, I batten me hatches an' scrape me brig, an still come ome for a good ol' swig, tis a sailors lifer fer me me lass a sailers life fer me!" He chuckled as he sang the rediculous ditty breaking ahead of the firekin femme his white yail tip flagging high above his jet black body the suns golden rays reflecting off of his ebony coat.
"sing along lassy! A pirate 'as to know pleny 'o' sea shanties yanno?" he laughed his dark paws leaving strong deep grooves in the soil beneath his feet. He couldn't have been happier, thatw as for sure.

He wanted to know how long she could run? Oh that was an underestimating tone to her. The huge lionesses eyes flashed fiercly and suddenly the unused muscles in her shoulders kicked down into the ground and suddenly she moved ahead of him. Her red fur shimmered in the dying sunlight as the sunset's rays melded the white fur on her face, belly, and paws.
Khepri breezed along with her tail thrashing around behind her in the air, her muscles swelling and rolling under her incredibly thin fur. She wasn't a leader, she wasn't wise or anything, she just remembered things, she just wanted to KNOW things. She didn't want to lay down and imagine why he wanted her to lead him since she didn't look like the kind to lead. It was strange, he spoke her accent, was around her size and she felt some connection to him thanks to that.
"Ah can keep runnin till mah heart gives out. Can yo'?" She grinned black at him, blood soaked teeth flashing in the sunset and her eyes dancing as she sucked up the words to the song and started to spout them back out. The song rolled off her tongue and the large lioness rolled with it a smile on her muzzle.
Suddenly a thought dawned on her, a thought that she'd had many times in the past. Her reaction was instant, her paws dug into the dust and she froze, her eyes glazed over in distant thought as she felt the tug of the pain in her chest. The line had been crossed once before, she'd lost them and she couldn't bring herself to do that again could she? Could she really keep moving like this?
Lifting her eyes to glance over at Kota, Khepri swallowed hard and flicked her eyes over towards the ocean. Yes... she'd take him, but it would shatter her if it happened again. Her large paws moved before he could ask her a question, the blood from the water buffelo leaving her paws as she kept walking but the blood that mattered, the blood that had stained her for the rest of her life...

The big black male almost stopped midstep as she raced ahead of him though he grinend and chased after her playfully batting at her tail. "awrioght lassy you win! Tho I be reaconin' ah'd bout race til me legs fell orf an mah rudder gave out.!"
He almost fell over her shen she stopped, managing to skid to a halt and weave around ehr in one deft movement. he had never seen anyone so sombre, even for a moment. "cmon' las thars a lil copse 'o'er thar, we'll bout be restin' thar for the night." Perhaps the dark captain wanted to ask her what worried ehr mind so that her happyness would suddenlybecome utter saddness but then again, would that be steping as boundry? After all, though she aggreed to guide him, they barely knew one another. He undoubtedly would ask her one day.
He let another of those rougish smiles grace his lips as he nudged the large female. "A pirates life ey lass? tis a tirin' buisness, gd' sleep unner the stars'll do ye good."

Golden eyes blinked up at the other lion with his large size and she nodded somberly, not letting any real emotion tick over her face. She was tired, that was true, but it was more of an emotional exhaustion than anything else. To think otherwise would have been rather dumb seeing as up until this moment she was completely fine.
"Well... Ah guess ah wouldn' mind curlin' up undah the stars for a bit." Khepri said, nodding her head and rolling her scarred shoulder a bit. The rougish smile got her a good laugh, but the large female shook her head and stretched her toes. "Besides, s'more fun when ya' with friends eh?"
Turning her head so she could look over at the little cospe that he pointed out, Khepri nodded her head.
