Mwana had managed to keep her silent act for much of the day's traveling. It was amazing how much energy you could get from being angry. But the sun had set and the world was left to the stars and the full face of the moon. They had stopped to rest beneath a small tree, perhaps out of habit. She had taken a seat a few feet from the large trunk, tail curled around her haunches as she looked off into the darkness. Her mind took a momentary break from the firey emotions she'd been carrying and she just took in the sights and the soothing night air.

"Are you gonna start talking or are you going to be laconic like before?" he questioned in his deep, bass voice as he moved closer from the trunk. Not having to talk to Mwana was near murder compared to Fuku's rants of how Mwana was not fit for him. That Mwana was a snobby brat, not fit for him. That Mwana was not good enough... one gets the image. Trigger only scoffed whenever the meerkat stopped. It was becoming too obvious that the meerkat was very jealous of the female. For the exact reason was beyond him, but he had the thoughts.
He stopped beside her, not looking at her but the sky.
"Fuku is starting to bug me."

Mwana turned her head slightly, sparing him only a glance before sliding her silver eyes back to the landscape. So! Silence was where to hit him, hmm? Well that was good to know. It felt good to have a bit of a "victory", because oddly she always felt like she was loosing to him. She hated loosing. Her posture relaxed at the slight swell of confidence in her brest and she smiled at nothing in particular. Mm...listen to those crickets~! She took another deep breath. Ahh, that night air was nice. She felt a little mellowed out. It was amazing what a little venting of energy could do.

"Well, if it is anything, you know that I care about you. Taking you away from your sisters and taking you to this pride should be proof. Actually, sticking with you this long should be too. After all, I did come back to you after the fire," he shrugged and laid himself down beside her. With a passing glance, Trigger saw that she was a little more relaxed. She was not so tense, was it something he said? Without saying anymore, he continued to look up in the stars. Luckily, this was their moment alone. He had sent Fuku to collect some fruits for them, one that was especially difficult but possible to find.

"Mmm...you have a funny way of showing it sometimes," Mwana murmured, though she sounded a bit amused. She yawned, leaning back as her bangs slid in her face. It was a nice night, despite everything. Her voice felt a little better too...maybe because it had gotten a rest from her usual indignant squwaking. Though it sounded a bit funny after the hours of silence.

"I was never quite the sociable lion," he replied as he craned his neck up to the sky. He saw the same moon that came by every month. Though the stars were different, they still shown. With both star light and moon light, the savanna was as clear as it would be during the day. It was during these nights that he felt more in tune with himself, the softer side of himself. Perhaps it was because it was of a full moon that he was born. Fuku could vouch for that. He knew vaguely of his birthing, Fuku would not speak of it, but that was all he knew. He was born on a full moon. "What could you expect from me?"

"A little less hits and a few more misses," she mumured and rolled her slender shoulders in a slow shrug. But it was a light comment. It seemed even she, arguementative by nature, didn't wish to fight under such a brilliantly lit moon. She lifted a delicate paw, moving her hair from her face carefully and breathing gently, "It's so lovely tonight." It was funny, because the night before had been cloudy and overcast; miserible to match her mood at the time. And only 24 hours later it was so peaceful, so calm.

"It is. Don't know what it is about the full moons, but they always seem... good," he turned at her and smirked. She was definitely a lot calmer now than she was before. She was not scolding him for absolutely everything he said. She was not grumpy and whinny. Trigger moved a little closer and licked her cheek.
" I do care about you. Don't think I want to get rid of you becuase you are a burden. "

"So what other reason do you have?" she asked simply, her tone curious with a slight hint of skeptitsism, but not confrontation. "You say you care, but I don't think...I've ever heard you say anything about wanting to keep me." It was a funny thing to say...perhaps more odd to want. Most women would complain about being thought of as something to be kept. But for Mwana, it was something she wanted. To her, it meant being valued. Being wanted.

"Keep you? You aren't some feather that some rare bird gives you when you help it, Mwana," he cocked a brow as he blinked at her. What was she getting at? He didn't comprehend too much of what she said half the time, but when she yelled and scowled... that was perhaps the only times he understood her completely. He scoffed and looked off to the sky again. Sort of hoping he was not here.
"If you want to say something, just say it."

Mwana shook her head. Typical. "You didn't answer my question," she murmured, casting him a sidelong glance. But she had given up on getting the answers she wanted from him. He just never understood. Letting out a breath she shrugged again and settled down to lay on her belly, still looking out at the night, but just a little more relaxed and lower to the ground.

" I dunno, what do you want me to say? That I like you because you are the only female that has been with me more than her heat. That you are the only one that knows my stupid secret, other than that moron Fuku. that you actually care about me? What do you want me to say? What do you want me to do?" He growled lightly before staring at the ground. What did she want from him!? He was trying to be good. He has tried to please her. He tried everything he knew that DIDn't involve mating and he has came up with nothing more than just a rowdy female who wouldn't just speak her mind clearly. She knew he was a brute, hell, he did too, he just wanted her to tell him what is it that would solve all of this. His patience was growing thin now.
Trigger shot a glare at her.
"What the hell do you want from me, damn it!?"

"I just want you to want me," she murmured seriously, looking at him with silver eyes that seemed to match the dimmed moon. "I want to know you want me," she breathed. Could she say it any simplier? How else could she spell it out for him? She wanted to feel treasured, to feel important, to ultimately be wanted and to have a purpose. Was it really that hard? "I want to be able to see it, not just hear it," she finished, before turning her eyes back out to the darkness again.

He blinked a few times and let out a sigh. Back to the being wanted thing. What drove her to want cubs from him. Which made him think about being a father. Which, in turn, created their argument earlier. Was he ready to accept all of that and take her as she wants him to? When it was only moments ago that they had their second argument. The first one made him hurt her. It was all going too fast, perhaps it was better this way.
Fuku waddled over with arm full of fruit, one being kicked, another dragged by the tail, tied together with leaves or something. Fuku was a resourceful little creature. "I got the fruit that you want. I ate one and they are good before they get... spoiled..." he looked at the two of them as he dropped the fruit and threw his arms into the air. "Alright, I get the hint, pick the girl." With a huff, he turned and retreated.
Trigger rolled his eyes and turned to her. "Have you ever seen these before?" he questioned. The ex-Firekin reached down and cut one open carefully. The juice seeping slowly out. Retracting his claw, he made sure that he did not touch it long.
"This is something very hard to find out here, but they can be found. I had a few given to me and they are pretty cool," he held a little of the liquid on his claw and looked at her. "It warms what it touches for-say-two seconds but if you leave it exposed for a while, it stains for quite a while," he smirked. "What do you say if I said I would keep you?"
Perhaps it was his feelings for her that drove him to do this. Perhaps it was his urge to just make her a mess. Perhaps it was both. Either way, he had a female before him that wanted him to want her. In some ways, he did. Here he had a female that he just wanted to mess with. His smirk just grew.

"I would say finally you've spoken some sense," she murmured, unable to hide the twitch of a smile at the corner of her mouth. "And I'd say dont' you dare mess up my fur," she added, eyeing the fruit with suspition. She shifted to sit up slightly, curling her tail more tightly to her left side as she watched his wet claw warily. Stain? No thank you! He was not going to make a mess of her, thank you! He did enough of that as it was. She happened to like how she looked...she didn't want him to make her hideous.
