Kenai yawned as he stretched himself, slipping through the forest of his homelands, of his parents' kingdom. He was upset to find his mother gone when he, Taabu, his sister and Uumi had finally gotten back. Though his father said she wouldn't be gone too long.
It was night time, though the stars could barely be seen from under the forest. He was heading toward the boarder's edge, toward the southlands. He was feeling a bit down, to tell you the truth.

The large female lioness, an outcast with no real place to call her own walked quietly along the border between the lands. She could smell the scent of others on the wind, and she hoped that she could pass by unnoticed. The last thing she wanted was to be cornered by a group for tresspassing.
Pausing she glanced into the woods, her ears flicking to the side and back. Someone or something was approching...

Kenai's dark, almost black, eyes caught a flicker of another pale phantom, ghosting around the lands. He slipped past the edge of the trees, coming to a hault. He was pretty big, maybe a tad bigger than the lions his age. Minus Taabu, his nephew who was older than him and larger. Not to mention smarter. He huffed slightly and sighed. Taabu kept mentioning bringing a female home, or something. It made Kenai a little jealous, which confused him because he'd never been jealous in his life. It was because Taabu would spend more time with his girl, rather than his uncle.
He bowed his head politely to the adult female, the most common of lions that he ran into. "Hello miss." He said cheerfully, his voice not matching with his current mood.

The Large female turned her golden eyes to look down at the smaller male, and she breathed a small sigh. A smile, though very faint crossed her lips. "greetings." she said with a dip of her head. She had ment to continue on, but things didnt see quite right. She took a few steps forward before sitting down, her tail wrapping around her hind haunches. "What brings you here?" she asked him, looking over her shoulder at him.
The dappled rays of sunlight fell upon her pale tan fur, the color of the desert sand. Her large paws settled on the grass in front of her, so out of place she was in this land of green...

It was rare he ran into anyone that looked like him, and her coat reminded him very much of his own, but her's was even lighter. "Are you looking for something particular? You're boardering on the Kusini lands." He was just informing her, was all. His voice was calm and light. He sat himself slowly, he wasn't that much smaller than her. "My name is Kenai, I'm from these lands."
Shariea
"Im aware of that.." she said bluntly, then fearing her words might have been to harsh with that tone of voice she turned and lightly smiled. "Ive been trying to stick to the borders as not to cross over..." she said looking over her shoulder into the land....
"I'm...not from anywhere...and not really going anywhere.. just wandering." she said as he sat beside her. The brown tip of her tail lightly flicked against the green grass. "Pleasure to meet you Kenai. I'm Ayo."

Lethrossen
He winced slightly at her harsh tone, normally everyone was pleasant to him. "Oh, it's not a big deal if you wander into the lands.." He said, struggling to think of the right words. "We're friendly toward visitors and wanderers alike." He smiled weakly, hoping this would fix his 'mistake'.
Ayo? Just like his parents, Ari and Asi. "Yes, a pleasure." He said softly, bowing his head again. So she was a rogue, eh? "Have you been to many places?" He said, a glint of excitement in his gaze.

Ayo's golden eyes looked over at him, and she softly smiled. Her tail flicked again against the grass as she sighed. "Alright.... not many are so...welcoming to strangers walking through their lands. I'll have to remember that."
The glimmer of excitment that brightened his face made her chuckle. She nodded her head with a soft sigh. "Yes, Im a rouge...and I have travled the world. I never stay in one place long...have you been in these lands all your life?" she asked, raising a brow. She'd never had a home per say so she was interested at the idea of one staying in one place for so long.

He nodded slowly. "Yes, my mother and father own these lands... But I did visit the pridelands for a long time with Taabu." He didn't bother elaborating on who Taabu was, it always got confusing throwing strangers into his huge family tree. "It's very nice though... from what I see the outside world is pretty much the same all over. There's quite a bit of viraty here..." He seemed to blush a little. "Though the pridelands was very lovely too!" He didn't want to sound biased, to be truthful.
Shariea
With a smile the female shook his sand colored fur, chuckling lightly. "Well it seems that you have a great love in your heart for these lands and your home... " she wanted to elborate more, but her tongue felt thick in her mouth and the words would not come. She had liked to express how she had always wanted a home, but the selfish art of her made her stop, to divulge such things on to the shoulders of a stranger, to possably be exploited later would be foolish, but then she didnt think this male would betray her so...he seemed to have a kind heart.
Her tail flicked as she tried to sort out her feelings on this manner, her fur lightly bristling in agitation with herself. Finally she sighed and offered him a half smile. "Im...happy for you.." she said, although her voice betrayed her. In truth she was jealous, probably as jealous as he was of her travling the lands.

His left ear twitched. She was happy... but didn't sound so happy. He wondered if his voice ever betrayed his moods like that? "Why haven't you ever settled down in a land?" He said slowly, carefully and a bit curiously. If she wanted a home so badly she should just stay in a place, introduce herself to the king and or queen of the lands!
Shariea
"havent had a place to stay, or much of a reason..." she said softly with a shrug of her shoulder. "a few places have stolen my heart, and in truth I left a chunk of it there when I left... But other than beauty and location there was no...real reason to stay. You... You have your family to keep you here Kid... I dont have anything of the kind." agains he shruged her shoulders... it was all true though she realised she probably had let more slip than she intented. She smiled at him and chuckled. "enough of that...thats the past and future, not for one to dwell on. Live now in the present I say."
Lethrossen
He half frowned and half gave an amused chuckle. "That isn't any fair, not at all. You bring up argueable points and then tell me to drop the conversation?" He gave her a teasing grin, his words not harsh at all. Kenai didn't have a harsh bone in his body... which sometimes ended up being a bad thing. "You know.. beauty and location are just as good as any reason to stay anywhere. Lack of a family is just an excuse. Lack of friends... again, an excuse.." He hesitated.
"What I mean is... you can start your own family.. and if you stay in a place... if you learn to call a place home... well, you make friends." He looked down at his paws, hoping that none of what he said offended her. "Having 'nothing' as you put it... isn't a reason to travel from place to place, believing you can not call any place home. Rogues travel from place to place because of the pure freedom, the love of new lands and new excitement. I think if you want a home.. you should just find a home, regardless if you have no one there. You can make the lions there be your... your 'something'." As oppose to her nothing, of course. He glanced up slightly, watching her.

Ayo's golden eyes glanced over at him with a soft tilt of her head. Her soft brown locks falling over her face. She smirked softly and nodded her head. "You're pretty wise. I suppose you are right. I hadnt really let myself consider that sort of thing. Ive never allowed myself to get close to anything or anyone because In my heart I know I'll just move on someday... perhaps thats whats brough me the greatest sorrow." she blinked and turned away from him. Just why was she so open with this male. Her paws lightly flexed on the ground as she shook her head. "Hmm... "
She turned back to him and offered him a smile again, to let him know that he had not offended her. "I'll...have to think about what you said. Maybe I should take time to make friends at lest..."

Kenai gave a nervous chuckle, looking embaressed. "I'm not anything really..." He said, automatically. He was good at putting himself down, destroying any of his confidence. It seemed he had no clue about the type of wonderful things he said to others, that he was more wise than intelligent... and a very nice lion to boot.
Yes, friends were good! He'd have to visit the pridelands again some day, to revisit some of his friends. "That's a good idea, there are a lot of nice lions here. And the pridelands are about a three day walk north, they have nice lions too!" His tail flicked, though something inside made him feel that he'd much rather see her stay here for a short period, so he could make better friends, even if she was to move on one day.
