Azima smiled and took a deep breath of the pridelands air. He glanced over his shoulder toward the direction of his and Roho's den. His and Rohos... that was a wonderful thought. His tail flicked and he tossed his mane away from his eyes, chuckling lightly. All of this felt right, he was happier than he'd ever been.
He moved through the pridelands with no set destination in mind because he still didn't quite know where everything was. He was getting thirsty though... he glanced around slowly. Where had that waterhole been?

Zeki stretched lightly in his den entrance, lazying in the sun as his pelt warmed under the sun. He was still young, not yet an adult but old enough to produce cubs. A nice lean, muscular form and a well groomed form, some might see why some call him charming. With a suave smile and a polite gesture was all he needed to get close to a female.
Today just seemed like one of those lazy days. No one was around to talk to, no one shared his den this day or the last. So the large openness felt more like an opened prison. There was no one around to talk to, no other warm form to rest next to. He wished someone would stay with him, but he could not intrude into their lives to offer them a place to rest for the night unless he knew they needed it.
With a heavy yawn, he stretched more and settled down. At least he was still home in the Pride Lands.

Azima was just heading back past some of the pride dens, he was about to head back to his home and give up on finding a place to drink, when he spotted the younger male. He let his gaze slide over his body and he smiled to himself, he was very attractive but still... he didn't have what Roho did! Azima couldn't put a paw on what that was, but he knew it wasn't there in this one.
"Hey you." He called over, shifting his gait. He was pretty thin, tall. He took after his father's build. He wasn't very strong but he was perfectly healthy, unlike his father.

Zeki raised his head and his crimson eyes fell onto a crimson form of another. Oh, wasn't that interesting? A red lion, he had not seen one of those in almost... well, ever. Well, to say the least if it were not for his mane, he would have mistaken him as a female. With a smile, he raised to his paws and moved toward him.
"Hello there, you were calling for me?"
Zeki gave a suave smile that was simple habit for him that just came naturally. With a quick glance over, he dipped his head.
"Name's Ezekiel. Zeki if you'd like."

Azima offered the other a wide, friendly smile. He slowly sat and nodded. "Yes, I was." He replied head tilting slightly as he studied the other a little more.
Ezekiel; that had a nice flow to it but he thought he liked the sound of Zeki better. "Zeki is fine then. I'm known as Azima." Ah with that done and over with.. "Anyhow I only arrived here a few days ago with my mate and I still don't know the lay of the land very well... anyhow can you tell me where to find the watering hole?" He was practically dancing inside, he'd been waiting to be able to use 'with my mate' in some sort of conversation.
Though what if this one would look upon him as his father did? He frowned lightly but it was gone just as quick. He hadn't given away that Roho was also a male, so why should he?

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Azima. Follow me, I'll take you to the water hole I frequent. It's quite private," he smirked and started off. They could talk along the way.
"Well, from what I can see, you are quite the male, Azima. There are some things about you that are intriguing, your mate must be one proud female to have someone like you," he spoke over his broad shoulder to the red male assuming his mate was indeed a female.

He laughed and shook his head slowly. "Private eh?" He wondered what use it would be to bring him to a private watering hole. He could think of a few good reasons but none were very appropriate.
"Ah.." He felt very awkward about this but decided he probably shouldn't be trying to hide the fact just because he wanted friends. "I hope he is proud... should be. I am quite the catch." He chuckled lightly, but it sounded as if he was still nervous.

"Very, you can be alone, bath all you want without anyone walking in on you. Surrounded by tall grass, it's a good place and rather hard to find," Zeki chuckled and grinned over his shoulder. "Just don't tell anyone, alright?" He saw no harm in telling him. He saw nothing wrong with bringing a male to a water hole he stumbled across, rather into, on the way back home after a long morning run.
"He? So you and another male are together?" he paused. "That's interesting..." His Uncle Kinari was bi-sexual, he made sure Zeki knew that much. Perhaps because he hinted about it quite often. He knew little about male to male relationships except there were couples out there like that. Perhaps males who sought only love and not cubs. Whenever Uncle Trigger and Uncle Kinari were together, Uncle Trigger would simply leave whenever the subject arised. "My Uncle's like that too, though, I have never quite thought about it too much myself."
However, he did whenever he remembered his lessons.

Azima smiled and nodded politely but he liked being around others more than being alone... as long as they weren't prettier than him or bastards or any of that. But he guessed to each their own, right?
He swallowed and nodded slowly. "Interesting..." He frowned thoughtfully and shook his head. "Not really. I mean... if you love someone you love them, right?" He said, a little defiantly. "I mean... the two of you can't carry on a family line or any of that... but there are other means of that.." He trailed off and looked ahead to where they were going.
"Your uncle? So are you from a big family here as well.. or no?" Azima was curious about that. He came from a huge family and didn't like it so much. But he knew Roho loved his family very much and it was just as large, if not bigger.

"My father has many half-brothers and I am their nephew. In a way, you can say I have a large family if you are able to trace it to my Great Uncle Mufasa," he chuckled and looked over his shoulder. He wondered if the name he spoke sparked any thing from the older male.
He paused before a wall of lush tall grass and turned to him with a smile.
"Love is love, there is no doubt about that, Azima. If you love someone, no one can stop you from loving them. Having a family is not everything for some lions. Some do not wish for it. If you love this male, then you love him, do not let anyone persuade you otherwise. Unless you would like risk losing someone you love because someone said you shouldn't love them," he spoke boldly and wisely before pushing past the tall grass.
The sounds of water could be heard from within.

Azima stopped in his tracks for a moment before coughing and moving again, head tilted. "Mufasa you say?" He didn't care much for his large family but he did know about it. "He was my grandfather." He said matter-of-fact, but with out much emotion. "I've never met him." Though he didn't realize he never would, either. "So that means we're related, eh? Small world." He grinned as he glanced to the other again.
He listened to what the young male said about love and just nodded, having nothing more to add to that subject.

Zeki had padded a bit into the water, shaking out his fur of dust and dirt. It was a decent size pool of water, collected from rain and small streams that ran through the tall grass. It was the best place to cool off on a hot day too.
"Well, small world indeed. Never knew I was related to a male like you, but our handsome physiques must have came from somewhere, right?"
Zeki just smirked and moved out of the way for the male. He didn't feel inclined to tell him that they were there, he could only assume he figured that out.

He laughed and shook his head a little, eying the water a moment before moving toward it and taking a drink before speaking. He lifted his head and shook it again. "Looking at my father I wouldn't think my good looks came from him.." He laughed at this though because he looked more like his father than his mother. "Only because his health is bad. Never met Mufasa though... my mother is beautiful though. So I just like to pretend my amazing good looks come from her." He stuck his tongue out playfully before drinking a little more.
It gave him a moment to calm down. Ah so this boy knew he was a handom devil! Both he and Azima. Though Azima couldn't help but feeling more handsome, if not on the same level of good looks as they were.

Zeki laughed. "Good looks can come from anywhere, you were not created by your mother alone, your father helped," he sat there and looked down at his reflection, smiling, grinning, smirking, making varieties of expressions to please himself. Admittingly, a little vain. "I got mine from my whole family, just rolled into one devilishly handsome lion. Don't you think?"
he just smirked at Azima before making his way toward him.
"So tell me a little more about your mate, I am quite curious about your relationship."

He laughed and nodded. "Yes, I know that." He didn't get along well with his father though, so his feelings couldn't be helped.
He smirked lightly. "Ah but I don't know any of your immediate family so how could I tell?" He teased lightly, sitting and licking at a paw. They'd gotten rather dusty from the walk here.
"About Roho?" He paused in his cleaning and a dreamy smile came to his maw. "He's stunningly handsome." He said, that was really the first thought that had come to his mind. Roho... was the most beautiful lion he'd ever laid eyes on. He'd even admit that Roho was prettier than himself. "Kind... easy to get along with." Where as Azima used to be a brat and not so easy to get on well with... sort of opposite of the big lunk. "He's a little slow sometimes though." He laughed delightedly at this though. "When I first shared my feelings for him he... I don't think He got it the first few times." He smiled sadly. "At first I thought I'd lost him as a friend forever... but then the big dope came to his senses." Azima glanced up and coughed.
"But I'm probably babbling... anyways, anyone special in your life?" He grinned.
