The sun was blaring above and the emerald lioness made her way through the underbrush, leaving the pride and making her way towards an emptry clearing to collect her thoughts. Ayana's tail flicked gently behind her and she turned her maw towards the sky, flicking her lids closed for a few long moments before sighing and layind down, her head resting gently on her crossed paws. The days had become long and weary, repetative and boring as she found herself struggling to pull herself through each day. Was it, perhaps, a calm before a storm? Sad to say it, but she would be glad for something to happen, even if it were to be... severe.
Ew... the sun. Why was it so hot? Djibouti sighed as he rolled onto his back under the shade of one of the few trees in the specific expanse of land. Rolling back to his stomach he sighed again, today was so BORING! Flexing his paw he made his dragon mark move, making it look like it was slithering on his arm. His tail flicked back and forth, the dragon's tail flicking the opposite way. Finally he resorted to licking his paw, watching to horizon for something to do...
In the distance, the unnatural colored creature caught her eye. Blinking, Ayana moved a bit closer, her green pelt blending into the grass until she wished to show herself. At that point, she straightened her posture and glanced towards the lion as he seemed to be preoccupied with looking somewhere in a different direction. "Hello." She called, her voice was calm, stern.
Djibouti was jarred out of his concentration, well more like dazed state, when the green lioness spoke up. "Thanks for breaking the mood." He mumbled as he turned his head and looked at her, what a strange green color... "Can I help you... or something? I don't really enjoy being interupted when I am doing something..." he said as he lazyily stood up, stretching while he rose. Looking away from the lioness he looked over the horizon, maybe there was something more interesting to talk to than this green lioness.
Ayana blinked and looked over the lion. It was a gamble when talking to new lions, she figured. Some were entertaining, helpful, nice. Some were... Well... "Oh yes, because you seemed pretty occupied with something." She let out a slightly amused snort and turned her head, looking out over the horizon as well. "Ah, well, no." She shrugged. "Just some company, I suppose."
Behind her, the little rainbowed mouse Skeet squeaked and ran through the grass. He hadn't really been with Ayana with a while...
Djibouti glared, "To me nothing qualifies as something." He was about to plod off when he heard the mouse squeak. Turning his gaze he looked at the rainbow creature and he smirked. "Are you gonna eat it or shall I?" He said as he figured the mouse was her friend. She said she wanted company... and he'd give her company, but she never specified on good company or bad... He ran his tounge across his maw and turned towards the lioness and her mouse.
Ayana gave a snort and looked towards him as she spotted Skeet. "Aha. Funny." She shook her head lightly and flicked her tail. Warily, Skeet looked at the lioness that seemed to be looking over his lioness almost... hungrily. Tensing up, he squeaked, ready to go fetch Sir Bakari if needed. "Don't eat him" She murmured darkly, patting Skeet with her tail gently and looking towards the lion, seeing if he would end up being friendly or not. "Do you want me to leave, then?
Djibouti smirked again and turned his gaze from the mouse to the lioness, looking her over hungerily before looked back to the horizon. "You can if you want, but I'm not gonna make you." He said as he began walking towards the stream not to far away. "If you want company... you'll follow..." He said with a look over his shoulder and a flick with his tails.
Skeet looked towards Ayana for a moment, pinning his ears back before sighing as she followed him. Ayana realized it was somewhat of a bad idea, but as she thought before; anything that would cease this calm before the storm, even the storm itself. Wrinkling her nose a bit, she sighed. "Fine." She murmured lightly before following the lion towards the stream.
