((I'm SO sorry you too. ;-; School and finals absolutely slaughtered my time. Didn't mean to make you two wait so long.
And silly Dragonz, Muffy is already nakey xp))
-Seeing her body tense, even though her words were soft enough, he cringed inwardly himself.- "Trust dearest... there welcoming would have been many times more fierce if I had gone along. And if I sent many of the lioness.. then the rest of us wouldn't be eating."
-Thought turning to his sister, he gazed lightly over towards the pond for a long moment.- "Besides, me telling them no wouldn't have stopped them.. AND.. Koho at the very least knows when to say enough."
"Even if Mwali is as sure headed and cocky as his age dictates he should be.. Koho isn't going to let the adolecsent continue on hopeless terms."

Lurking close to the sweet body of water that had quenched her thirst so many times before, Dama could have almost swore. The sounds of other voices nearby didn't please her one bit. Each time she'd come to ease her parched throat, the waterhole had been as dead as the carcasses she feasted upon every other day. But obviously that wouldn't be the case this time.
Slinking across the dry grass, her grey pelt doing little to camoflauge her body from sight, the little lioness crept closer and closer, trying to gain a good vantage point in which to see the offending lions from. With her luck, it'd be Mwezi or some other firekin, sent here to find her and Kitwana. A few steps closer, a few moment's later, and the growing juvenile peered her head up, her ears flattened against her skull. Her eyes sought out the sources of the noise she heard, and it wasn't but a second before she found them. But firekin the racket was not.
Tilting her head, Dama's mouth dropped open in surprise. She'd witnessed this pair from afar, admiring the love they had for each other. Never had she remembered seeing Makadari nuzzle his mate with such kindness and emotion. Sitting upon her haunches, the little lioness continued to watch the two, Mufasa and Sarabi, unaware that she had just put herself into plain sight with that single move. Not only that, but she was staring. Which also wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do.
In the back of her mind, the young lioness wondered if they'd see her. Half hoping they would, but fearing their wrath at her having trespassed within their lands...

 Remove ((Bakhti is watching Sarabi and Mufasa ninja )) ((Bah! I forgot... whee drat... *blows raspberry at Iris* he may be nakey, but he's not swimin' is he?)) Sarabi raised her head to find not one, but two young lioness' watching them. Curious, she remained where she was, though a nudge of her shoulder alerted her mate to the situation. "No sooner do most of our pride leave, then we are over run by more rogues." She chuckled as she said it. It still worried her that they had left, but the situation was as good as it could be, given the circumstances.

((Such is very true ^ ^
Mufffy: >.> ....
<.< ....
*steals Sarabi's necklace so she's nakey too* heart ! ))
-The nudge, gained Sarabi an affectionate lick, that lingered into a nuzzle, until the king finally made out her words, eyes travelling to the grasses around the water hole.
He spotted the grey one easily, her pelt so different then her surroundings.. something seemingly cruel in these parts, whether she be a hunter or prey. Eyes settling on the other adolcent for a moment, he gave a soft nod to his mate.- "Indeed.. the cycle of loss and gain."
-Streching his paws and muscles out lightly he murred softly to her, eyes on her stomach with soft and most certainly undue worry. Funny how in one day she'd went from 'so strong' to 'the most delicate and fragile creature' in his eyes.- "Feel up for tracking them down dearest? Or would you prefer resting and seeing if they come to us."

Bakhti flinched slightly before standing up and slowly lowering herself in the water. She knew that they could see her and she had caught a glimpse of another lioness though she stayed where she was. The thought then hit her about Sukutu and Maawio. Would these two lions know them?
She slowly raised her wet body from the water letting the water droplets make her honey/golden pelt shimmer in the sun. She slowly and carefully walked over to the lions wondering whether she would be attacked for being in anothers land.
As she reached the lions she kept her head low as she spoke softly to them, "hello.. um... er.. Do you know Maawio? Or Sukutu?" She looked hopefull though knew that Sukutu was leaving the Pride Lands for a while but still there was a slight chance that they knew him.

((Sarabi: *jumps in the water to hide her nakky-ness, then glares at Mufasa* gonk stare xp heart )) Sarabi rolled her eyes, though her face was averted so he wouldn't see her. "I'm quite fine, Love. Greetings, young one." She said to Bakhti when the lioness drew close. "I'm Sarabi, and this is my mate, Mufasa. Sukutu and Maawio? They're part of our pride, of course we know them. Are they what brings you to our land? I'm afraid Sukutu has left on a journey, and we havn't seen Maawio in a long time, neither is here." She rose to sit as she spoke, the gentle swell of her stomach shifting as she moved. Its size spoke of the closeness of her time.

Bakhti looked towards the lioness and smiled. "I am looking for Maawio in hope she has seen my younger brother Amari. I thought Suku may have left." She looked to the lion briefly and then back to Sarabi, "This your pride then?" She wasked wondering if she should be giving the two more respect then she had done.

When it was apparent they weren't coming after her, Dama took a step or two forward, curiousity getting the best of her. However, the startling appearance of another lion caused her to backpedal a few extra steps. Hissing softly, the little gray lioness examined this newcomer. Recognition flickered across her face, a grumble lodged in her throat. That was the little girl who'd crossed Mwezi. Somehow, at the time, she'd wondered what the scrap had done to irritate the firekin femme, but if it had gotten Mwezi that upset, enough to try and attack, then she probably deserved it.
Mistrust and unsure of herself, Dama stayed where she was. Her ears perked up slightly, straining to listen to the conversation. She'd seen the mated pair before, up upon Pride Rock, and knew their rank in the pride quite well. As habit from her past, the slave girl knew better than to approach them, and wondered why the golden lioness didn't respect that as well. Continuing to watch, her ears flattened back out and she sunk down towards the ground, as if to hide herself. If that young lion was gonna get it, she sure wasn't going to catch hell for watching. However, every few moments, her head would pop up for a second before ducking back down again, as to keep watch on what was going on.

-He filed over the names gently in his head, putting a face to the first too, however struggling with a last, a likely sign that, he hadn't met the young male. Nodding apologetically, he streched his limbs before him once again, before sitting up, ruffling his mane with a lazy little shake.- "I haven't seen any new boys lately. But.. it couldn't hurt to ask around. I'm sure someone has seen him. Where are you staying young one? So I can bring you the message if we find him?"
-His eyes drew again to the strange actions of the grey cub, and he watched, as unrudely as he could imagine. It seemed her coat color wasn't the only things strange about the lioness. In the back of his mind a soft nagging of familiarity touched him, but he let it slide, waiting for the other lioness' attention to turn back to Sarabi before he'd get up and approach the grey.-

Sarabi smiled. "Indeed it is. Mufasa and I are the rulers of our little pride, and the Pridelands themselves. What's your name? I don't believe I know it."

Bakhti suddenly jumped back in surprise, “Oh I am so sorry I didn’t know er...” She suddenly felt rather awkward talking to the queen of the pride. She was talking to a QUEEN!!! She was now a little confused well more then a little she seemed so rude not giving them half the amount of respect that they should have been given. She turned to the lion and bowed before turning to the female and bowing to her as well. “I am Bakhti...” She stuttered as she spoke still shocked knowing that they were both the rulers of the pride. She then answered the Kings question, “I don’t stay anywhere I am a rouge so I go where ever I feel I need to.

"Its nice to meet you, Bakhti, especially since your already a friend to members of the pride." Sarabi got up and went to the water to get a drink. Droplets dripped from her muzzle as she walked back, fur rolling over muscle. She felt restless now, with a need to be somewhere, though she didn't know where that would be. "I'm feeling a little hungry now, would you like to walk with me? I think there is still some meat left in the den that we could certainly share."

The little gray lioness caught sight of the large male watching her, and quickly ducked down back out of sight. Slinking through the grass, Dama moved to her left, creeping along the ground till she was nearly 100ft away from her original spot. Risking a peek from there, she quickly ducked down again and moved off another couple hundred feet in the same direction. There she sat, pondering what to do. Her eyes were downcast, watching the ground, but her head raised up slightly, enough to show the darker ears over the tips of the grass. This, however, she didn't realize.
Although they seemed completely different from the Firekin, and she'd never seen them, though from afar, snap at any newcomers, one could never be too sure what would happen if they caught a runaway slave. She'd always heard snippets of conversation wafting across the desert on how the Pridelands pride always remained pleasant to strangers, but she didn't feel like testing that right now.
Sighing softly, Dama hung her head. She didn't feel comfortable enough to truly approach any others here, her slave companion had disappeared to go live his own life. It was beginning to feel like she didn't belong anywhere. But that's where she stopped those thoughts. A small tear trickled down her muzzle, a sure sign of the loneliness she felt inside.

Bakhti looked a litle shocked. She was still feeling slightly bad as she did not give the two lions the respect they should of had but it didn't look as if it mattered. She looked at Mufasa and then back at Sarabi, "Yes I would love to come with you!" She smiled happily. New friends were always a good sign.
