Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mgbamizu rested his head on his paws as he lay, day dreaming. After finding the unconscious Nche, Mgbamizu felt himself rather reserved from the pride life. He remained in the den, only leaving when he absolutely had to. This would go on for days until he had met her childhood sweetheart Isithunzi on an outing.

It was there he wanted to try and start things over. To make things right for what they had gone through in the past. Lucky for the Aguu, the female had agreed. Unlucky for Mgbamizu, he now would need to bring it up to his mother at some point. When she had been gone on long trips, Mgbamizu buried the thought in the back of his mind.

It was only when she had returned, today, did it start to rear its head again. "Mother." He called out, a small purr rumbling through his giant frame. He lifted himself off the ground, wanting to give the older adult a more proper greeting.

"I have been, yes." He said quietly. In reality, he had been eating probably more than he should. But he was happy with how his life was going!

"How are the other families? I expected you back sooner."

"Is she actual ill? Or is it her mind thinking that?" Mgbamizu questioned. He didn't know how his mother could do what she did. The male would probably do poorly at a job like that.

Uh-oh. The lion found himself shifting on his paws looking anywhere but his mother. If he was trying to be nonchalant on the situation, he was terrible at portraying it. "I uh..." He hesitated. Come on Mgbamizu....

His mother was going to get suspicious. "Do...do you remember Isithunzi?" He asked his mother quietly, his gold gaze meeting her lighter one. "From Agadi..." She should know her. Their relationship as adolescents was pretty well known...and their split was less than amicable. "You..uh...might be seeing her around more often." He held his breath, waiting for her reaction.

Mgbamizu shuffled again on his feet. He was more nervous speaking with his mother than expressing his love for Isithunzi!

"Well we weren't...but during the Onyeisi's celebration we uh...started talking again...and well..." He flashed his mother a small, sheepish smile. "I've asked her to be my mate, and she agreed." There it was, the cat out of the bag. "I...hope you aren't mad." All of this happened in such a fairly quick timeframe. What he thought was once lost was rekindled when the Agadi and him had started speaking again. No one had managed to capture his heart the way Isithunzi had.

"She will be moving to our family probably within the week." Hence, seeing her around more.
