The sun was out, but it was marred by a thick layer of storm clouds. She hadn't seen any lightning yet, but she could smell the scent of rain in the air. She had always loved rain. It was refreshing, to say the least. But the clouds did ruin her plans at sunbathing that afternoon. The golden lioness had been lying in the green grass, relaxing in the breeze.
She stretched out her body, her claws scratching against the earth. Her belly had begun rumbling anyway, so she supposed she should go find some lunch before the rain hit. At that point, nothing would be out.. Probably including herself. She wouldn't get to be picky this hunt.
She stood, and her eyes started scanning the pride lands. Her ears flicked, looking for any sort of sound that would give away something's presence. Unfortunately, if anything was out there.. It wasn't giving itself away. She frowned, and began walking closer to the border. She didn't want to go too far, but she didn't think a meal would be found so close to home today.

The severity could vary, but at least the actual weather was fairly predictable.
He had been wandering for some time, and now he was not entirely sure where he had been brought by his aimless feet. Nothing looked or felt too familiar, and he was not even sure if he was in the rogue lands any more, of it he had managed to find a pride of some kind. He was not sure if it was safe to go on, smelling more scents on the air than he usually did.
He proceeded cautiously, until he saw someone in the distance and he crouched down, hoping not to be seen. He was not sure how to advance, watching her thoughtfully for a moment before he opted to move forward and see if she was at least approachable or not. He was a large lion: he was sure he could handle himself if things went poorly.

A-ha. There was something. It was large, maybe a stray wildebeest, or maybe even a water buffalo. She found herself feeling a pang of sadness at being alone if that were the case. No way she was going to bring one of those down by herself. Even a stray one. She could try, but the results could be disastrous.
The closer the orange beast got though, she realized it was no prey animal. It was a large, large lion and he was coming straight for her. She froze for a minute, looking around her to see if he was possibly making his way towards anyone else.. But she was alone, and she braced herself for the worst. She had heard horrible stories of rogues, and how they would attack with no reason whatsoever. Good thing Nala wasn't easily frightened.
"You there!" She called out, walking closer to close the distance between them. Hey, if you are going to do something, might as well jump on in.
"If you are here for a fight, you should turn back around." Her voice wasn't menacing. But it was the best warning she could muster.

He paused in his approach, noticing how anxious and tense she got. She was heading his way, though, and he wondered if he had already given the wrong impression. He stood his ground, though, swinging his tail behind him thoughtfully as he did so.
"I'm not here for a fight," he said evenly, after a moment of thought. Fights could be a lot of fun, and there was always room to be a stronger fighter, but he was not going to go fighting random lions and lionesses just for the sake of it. That was wasteful, and he would never be able to make new allies if he did things like that. He was supposed to be out here serving a purpose, after all.
Maybe some other time he would find someone who wanted to fight for the sake of it, and not out of defense or fear, and that would be fun. Right now, though, he wanted to calm the situation down a bit.
"I'm actually just wandering through, and I'm not sure where I am. I'm sorry if I startled you, though. It seemed a little quiet."

When he spoke, she visibly relaxed and nodded. Okay, so if he wasn't here to harm her, she wasn't here to be a jerk. It wasn't like her anyway, really. She wasn't much of a fighter. Her dad had taught her how to defend herself, but if she could avoid an all out brawl she would at most costs.
"You startled me, but not terribly." She admitted, offering a soft smile. She really hadn't been doing anything besides looking for food. Food that seemed to be pretty non-existent right now anyways.
His pelt was fluffier than her own, and his tail looked as if it was a flame instead of tuft. That was interesting. She found herself staring too long before she cleared her throat, and had the decency to blush a little.
"I'm sorry, I'm being rude. My name is Nala, and I'm from the Pridelands." She looked him over again. "But I don't think you are." She smiled again.

"Nala? That is a pretty name. I'm Rizardon. It is nice to meet you. I didn't realize I was in any pride lands though. Is it alright for me to be here? Should I leave?"
He was not there to get anyone in trouble, and he was not sure he could take on a whole pride if they wanted to throw him out. He was trying to remember to make friends, and to see if there were allies to be found out here. For the most part, though, at the moment he was just feeling hungry and tired.
"What sort of a pride is this place? I am from the Frozen Isle, up north in the mountains. It's very cold and snowy there, but it doesn't seem like that's the case down here."
It had to be nice, though he very much liked the cold weather, and was not sure he could survive in the heat for too long any more. He would start missing the cool air of his frozen home, and that would always draw him back.
