Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yakuti's ears perked up a bit and she smiled, giving a light bow to the lion.
"Thats fine, I couldn't expect you to open someone with welcome arms when you hardly knew them." she stood straight again "If we do stay here... I think I could get used to it with such kind neighbors." she smiled, turning to make her way back down the rock, taking alot less time than it did to get back up it.

Wokovu blinked, following the older cub. he cocked his head at the other two lion cubs, looking at his own fur and then to theirs "Hey mines kidna like theirs.." he muttered before shaking it off and trotting up closer to them as he was introduced "Hi!" he blinked grinning "Hey.." he paused trying to remember the name nala had just said "Simba! Your a prince right? That is sooo cool.." the cub stared in awe, not even waiting for simba to say that he was, tail lashing from side to side almost playfully.

Mwali couldn't help but laugh at the female's sudjestion, tossing his head back so his sides didn't ache as quickly. His laughter was a rich one- not strong in the least. It was obvious that he was still a very young lion. He composed himself enough to speak, pulling a paw over his mane to smoothe it back, "What a sudjestion! Yes I know -normal- male adult lions would rather have their own pride but I'm not a -normla- lion now am I?" He tilted his ears and looked to the lioness playfully, his long tail flicking behind him, "Considering that I've never made a kill before and I was led here by creatures that -normal- lions would have eaten for their meals shows that I'm certainly not capable to make a pride of my own nor would I want a pride of my own. I've never been responsible for anything and I don't intend to be."

He took a deep breath, turning his head to look over the land once more, "I came for a new life. In my pride I was nothing, I was a spare paw under my brother to the sucession of king. Now that he has cubs that doesn't matter. I didn't want the rank in the first place and I wasn't fond of my lifestyle. Being royalty I didn't have to do anything for myself so I never learned the things that a -normal- lion would know... including how to court a mate." He glanced to her shyly, "I heard the rumors of golden lionesses in these lands and thought that perhaps I'd find love here..."

Sarabi relaxed again. If Mufasa had given leave, she could accept that. Walking to him, she purred as she rubbed her cheek against his. "It is a good decision." Now her nature took over and she blinked back toward the cave. "Poor thing...comming through that desert...running from his pride...caring for all those little ones..." she walked toward the den, talking to herself on the way. "Looked so weak...must be hungry..." She tore off a large chunk from the carcass that was left. It was almost gone, so they would have to hunt soon. Tomarrow maybe... Taking the hunk of meat, she trotted out past her mate and down the side. Stopping a short distance from the male, she placed the meat on a rock. Soft crimson eyes looked him over carefully. Young, soft from royal life. He would need a lot of work if he was to live outside his pride. Sarabi's mouth crooked at one corner and she turned and trotted back up toward Mufasa.

((Bah, edit))

"Thank you, My lady..." he said softly after the queen, turning his large head to offer her a smile. He couldn't help but wonder if the cubs were hungry as well... they were smaller than him and probibly needed the food more than he did. They'd come back in time. They had some exploring to do and they had far more energy than he did. His attention returned to the lioness as did the smile to his face.

"I've grown fond of cubs recently. I've taken in these- er... well you can say they took me in. I'm just a big scary thing to look at so no one really thinks to attack them. They wouldn't think that something as large as I am would be so weak." He chuckled at himself lightly, "Well if anything, would you be so kind as to giving me a few hunting lessons? I'd like nothing more than to be of some use to someone."

((Is it night or day? x.x I can edit this slightly whichever it is))

-Mufasa smiled softly, as he watched the compassion of his mate take over and she left his side. Just one of the many reasons he'd been so glad to have her. Beautiful.. compassionate.. intellgent..a wonderful mother.

Standing and streching his large limbs, he slowly began to make it out of the den. There was too much excitment around for him to sleep.. and he was too restless to just lay, so he set out walking. His steps were slow and unpurposeful for once as he made his way into the dark, eyes gazing up at the stars that littered the dark night sky.-

Haveo stepped onto the warm boulder, a slight breeze ruffling his fur. He took a deep breath savoring the feeling of finally being in the pride lands. Haveo sighed finding that this wasn't as great as he thought seeing as how he some how lost him companion.

He stepped down from the rock and began to walk towards the huge bunch of boulders that towered over the plains. Now all I have to do...is find the others like me. Maybe my family.

"You shouldn't be so self-deprecating young prince, and no matter what land you are in, a royal title will stick. And yes, I will be happy to give you hunting lessons. Do you wish to start now? It's a perfect time, the night walkers are not out yet, and the day walkers are sleepy and slow. Or do you wish to simply eat tonight and begin in the morning?" Her back had been turned to Sarabi's offering, though her sharp nose could easily pick out the meat's smell from the air, "I must say, it was good zebra...." A light smile flicked to her face, though it slowly dulled, waiting for the other's decision.
