"Oh, uh, okay." She nodded and dropped down, circling the way Nyack had told her to. She had a slight disadvantage in that her coat was far too conspicuous against the golden color of the lands and the long grasses. She's just have to be quieter, then, than most lions. She crept along noiselessly, eyeing the antelope.

The deer-like creatures grazed on. The little limping one trying to stay close to the herd.
Nyack flicked his tail and started his advance. He too stuck out with his green mane but his brown color hid the rest of his body well enough. He crept forward, eyes locked on his target. Wait for it... wait for it... He lept out of the grasses and latched his claws into the antelope's hide. The creature let out squeal of pain and bucked him off, heading for Muujiza.
"Please let her focus..."

The lioness crouched, her pale golden eyes narrowed as the antelope burst forward and sped toward her. The thrill of the hunt, the adrenaline, it had all swept her up now, and she could only hear the rhythmic pounding of panicked hooves and the shiver of the ground beneath her paws. Wait... wait... She pressed herself ever closer to the ground, her claws grappling with the earth as she held herself still. The antelope mustn't see her. She sat and waited, while the animal drew ever closer, and then... With a triumphant roar, Muujiza leapt from her crouch, springing into the face of the antelope, who pulled up short in utter surprise. The lioness was at its throat before it could change directions, and before long, the antelope lay unmoving on the ground,

Nyack stepped out and smiled, proud of the kill they'd made. As the male, he knew he should eat first. After all, it was only right. The green maned male gave a roar of his own and jostled passed her. He bowed his head to its stomach and started to tear it open for himself.

Had it not been for the fact that his strange tail had just caught her eye, she might have reacted indignantly. After all, she had killed the antelope, no? As it was, she stood and stared at the tail, tilting her head to regard it curiously. She wasn't even particularly hungry, she had only wanted to do some hunting, and the fact that Nyack did want to eat was good enough for her.

Nyack sighed contently after eating his fill and chanced a glance back at her. Her rose an eyebrow as she followed the movements of his tail. Did she like it? To test this, he put it down on the ground in front of her and wriggled it like a snake. He licked off his muzzle and sat down to watch the fun.

Muujiza leapt back a pace. It was a snake! She blinked, reaching out and paw and bobbing it once. It didn't bite her back... She tilted her head. Huh.

The male chuckled and slithered it toward her quickly before pulling it back. "You like my tail that much?" He asked tilting his head to the side. His soft violet eyes were amused considerably by her reactions to things. It was like she was in an entirely different mindset.

"I... yea, why not?" She looked up, mystified. Didn't he like his tail? That was strange. She stopped pawing it at, looking at her own tail. It was much less mobile than his, and she had little control over it. It lashed when she was frustrated or anxious, and didn't when she wasn't.

The male lion just shook his head. 'You're funny..." He muttered more to himself and stood. He had finished eating and his muzzle was coated with a layer of blood. Nyack nodded his head toward her to indicate that it was her turn and found a suitable place under a tree to rest.

"Huh?" She gazed over at the felled antelope and shrugged. Fine. She wasn't about to let the carcass make an easy feast for the vultures. She sank her teeth into the meat, although she didn't feel anywhere near hungry. But she was a lion, was she not? She had never known herself to be one to turn down food. She wasn't about to start now,

The male cleaned off his paw and swiped it across his muzzle to clean off the blood. The nats were already buzzing around his head for a taste. His violet eyes focused on the green female picking at the carcass. She was a character alright.
He let out a mighty yawn and dropped his head on the soft grass and nosed it. Maybe being green wasn't so bad after all. What one person didn't like another was sure to like. So he should like himself, right?
Still... how long would the A.D.D. lioness stick around?

"If you're gonna sleep, I might take off then?" Muujiza mumbled from behind a mouthful of antelope, an impish smile on her muzzle as best as it could be there. "I mean, you don't want me to bug you when you sleep, surely?" She prompted. It didn't quite matter to her either way. She had met another green lion, that mattered most to her. And if it was meant to be, they would always meet again some day. That she knew.

That answered that unspoken question. The male mused; he was very tired and if she was going to leave he wasn't going to stop her. There was just a part of him that told him to make her stay. Despite her odd habits, she was the first person who didn't make fun of him and LIKED his green mane.
Choices, choices.
"Where is it that you are wondering to?" He questioned boldly. "I plan to search for a pride to accept me." Not that he found this a possible notion at all, he wouldn't give up.

Muujiza shrugged as she downed the mouthfull of antelope. "Anywhere," She said carelessly. "I'm a rogue, I wander." Of course, he must have known that already... Oh well. She had already said it, and it would make no difference regret her words. SHe had nothing to regret, besides. "I don't really have any plans to join any prides yet." She added with a shrug.
