The sun was setting. The pink lion desperately searched for someplace safe to sleep for the night, but all he found was a watering hole. No place could be less safe, he thought, but it had been so long since he had a good drink of water. He padded over to the edge of the small pool and drank, thinking to himself how wonderful it was that he had gone all day without fainting or
Collapsing from exhaustion. He was finally beginning to pace himself well enough that his illness wasn't quite so obvious, though he made little progress each day, he just wanted to stay alive at this point.

The brown princess was bored. She spent her whole life just wandering around the prides lands, her head in the clouds not really paying attention to anything that happened. Her father was rumoured to be a murderer but she refused to believe it. She loved her father and she loved her mother. She didn't care if her brother took the rule believing their father to be a killer. She was happy to be in
her own world where her grandmother had died because of a stupid male who had made her pregnant, came back to find her, found her with cubs and killed her. Made much more sense!
It wasn't really surprising that she was the one heading towards the watering hole, she loved the area. It was where she spent most of her time, just because she could see her reflection and the water made funny images
with the ripples and it fed her imagination.

Genge finished his drink and looked up. To his surprise, another lion was coming toward him! He stood up, rather too quickly too, and became dizzy for a moment. He spread out his forepaws to keep his balance until it passed, and he let out a low growl. It was frustrating to deal with such things, but at least he hadn't passed out this time.
Putting that aside, Genge carefully made his way
Toward the new lioness. She seemed friendly enough, at least, she hadn't attacked him yet.
"Hey." He said softly, "Who are you?" It was unlike him to approach strangers, but he was beginning to get lonely. He hadn't talked to anyone in some time, and he felt that he needed someone to talk to.

She hadn't seen him and it was confusing
that another would come upto her, no one spoke to her normally, maybe because she was known for being in another world most of the time.
"Oh hey. I am Amira, who are you?" She thought she would be polite. He was a strange looking lion, never seen one like him around here before. Maybe he was new to the area?
"You live around here? I haven't seen you before!" She spoke sweetly as she always did.

"Genge." He said simply, shifting nervously a bit. He was always a bit awkward around anyone new.
"No, I don't really live anywhere any more." He shrugged. He wanted to go home, but at the moment he was too proud to admit it. Besides, he couldn't very well go back without having proved himself. No, crawling back after so short a time would show his weakness, and give them another excuse to
continue sheltering him. No, he'd only return home once he was older. Maybe he'd even be stronger, or have overcome his illness entirely! an impossible feat, of course, but Genge needed some hope to cling to.
"I guess you live here, though?"

"Live here, born here, raised here and everything else. My father was the king, my brother is the heir and everyone believes my father is a murderer. They lie though." She was being very clear that she didn't believe it and she was also talking alot, something she was also known for doing. She was a strange thing.
"Where were you born? It must be nice to travel. I want to leave this place.
Always dreamt about leaving, and seeing what was out there but never had a reason to leave. Hoped dad would come home but dont think he will..." She sighed and looked up at the sky.
"One day...."
She let a smile cross her maw as she sat down in front of the male. "Sooooo whats your story?"

Genge blinked. This girl sure talked a lot. "How do you know they lie?" He didn't like the sound of a murderer, but it was clear that Amira wasn't dangerous.
"I was born in the Mteo'nyungu lands." He said simply, "Traveling is... Difficult." He found it a bit odd that she'd want to share so much about herself and in turn want to know so much about him. He wasn't entirely comfortable with
it, but she was so nice... It couldn't hurt, right?
"My story... Well, I have some sort of illness. It makes me really weak and small, and I'm always hurting." He shuddered, "My family thinks I can't do anything for myself, so I ran away." Genge paused. He didn't want this girl to run away from home like he had, but if she did, she'd surely have an easier time than he did. It couldn't hurt to talk with her about it.
"It's just that I got it from my grandmother, and I've seen how they treat her. They won't let her do anything, I don't want that. I don't need their help."

"I know my dad." Was her answer to how she knew they weren't telling the truth about him.
"Well you seem to have done well. I don't know where your pride is but you made it here by yourself, sounds pretty good to me. How you going to prove them wrong then?" She was curious. She wasn't normally this chatty but then again she didn't like most that were in the pride.
