To do his own little hunting, the male emerged from the sea of tall grass that encompassed the large baobab tree that he called home. Actually, he called it the Fort, but it was where he rested and lived. His parents' den was not too far from it so he had the comfort of home within a skip and a mad dash away. The vibrant green-yellow lion walked calmly down the pathway that led to Pride Rock. It was past the lunch rush where all the predators ran about for food; so it all should have calmed down. He was not prepared to fight for his food against another lion, he would rather the adrenaline stop after the catch.
As he bite into the last pieces of his meal, undisturbed, the male glanced into the distance to see his beloved Fort and on the other side of him, the great Pride Rock. Now that the male thought about it, he had never quite actually been there his entire life. As far as he remembered, his life revolved around his family, his Fort, and his greatest friend, Ryu'rage. Now, however, there was a new presence in his life that took upon the form of a wonderful green, spotted, beautiful female, Kijani. Which reminded him... he should bring her some food too.
"What's the rush?" Uzu questioned, sprawling out in the grass, warming up in the sunlight.

 "Didn't your mother ever tell you rushing is the best way?"
Alcippe slipped out of the brush, bored of stalking for prey. She didn't feel like catching anything. It was just too easy in this land where everything was available. Where was the challenge? Where was the fun? Since she had been bored to begin with, seeing Uzu just made her more certain that she didn't want to hunt.
Did that mean she wanted to steal? She wasn't quite sure. She was still deciding that herself. "Someone could come by and snatch it," she told him with a smile, her eyes glittering.

"Myru?..."
Uzu lifted his head to see this other female. She was dark in color with chocolately brown paws, but her eyes were an amazing steel blue color. She was pretty too, were all females pretty like this and that he was just lucky to have Kijani wander into his world?
"Why rush? I wouldn't be able to take in everything, what is the point if you just run through life and not even know what went on around you?"
Her cautiously placed a paw over the rest of his kill. Was she insinuationing that she was going to steal it? How dumb did she take him for? He was a Pride Lander himself, he was capable of fighting and doing things himself. Though he did not get a lot of practice in fighting, he knew how to harness what rage he had and use it to the best.
"If you are hungry, why not go hunting yourself?"

"Take in everything? Take in what? There is nothing to see here...nothing at all," Her tone almost sounded whiskful. It supported her dislike of her home, at any rate. It was all the same, a wash of honey-coated nothingness.
But she laughed then, shaking her head, "Oh really! If I had honestly wanted to steal from you, you think I would have mentioned it? That's no fun at all, no fun at all." Everything seemed to be about fun with her. "Hunting's no fun here," she murmured, answering his other question, "Way too easy. There are no regulations, no rules, no nothing...not even scarce pray. Bor-ing."

"If you want hard game, get out of the Pride Lands, go into the desert where it is too hot to chase anything down IF you could find anything edible out there. If you want, go to the shore line, surely there is something you can get there if you aren't afraid to drown. Maybe in the mountains to the far west, maybe there is something good up there to catch, figure that you could claim it first," The hint of anger in his voice was obvious. The way this female spoke about their home, the home he grew up in. The Pride Land was the home of all Pride Landers, welcomed to any vagabond rogue to settle down into. This land was safe and those who dared threaten it would be faced with one of the largest prides.
"Run away if you want, Pride Lander, maybe when you get lost, you'd wished you remembered the land marks you past. Take everything too fast and you won't remember a damn thing!"
It was unusual for him to be riled like this, but this was his home and just recently, he had welcomed Kijani into his life and the Pride lands. To know that others did not feel the same way was rather irksome. She was a Pride Lander wasn't she? She lived here in this home land.
With a growl, he got to his feet.
"Now if you don't mind, I got to get this back to Kijani, at least she could appreciate some things."
A slight blush washed over his face at the thought of her.

"Aww, poor baby, did I upset you?" She crooned gleefully. She absolute loved his reaction. It was so perfect, predictable sure, but fun to mess with. She much prefered dealing with someone angry than some saint like those that seemed to be found around here. She felt quite devilish and it made her blood pulse with energy. Yess, this was how she liked it.
Like the little imp she was she danced over to him and, shamelessly, rubbed her body against his. It had nothing to do with attraction or affection, though either could have been assumed by someone obviously, but in fact because he named another lady friend.
"Kijani? A perfect little angle, all your own, hmmm?" she said sweetly, angling her head to watch him with her bright blue eyes despite the proximity she had put them in.

Uzu's paws stumbled away from her each time she rubbed up against him. It felt so awkward and he continued to stumble away from her only to bump into her again when she passed onto the other side of him, he was stuck in the middle! The blush on his face obviously making itself more noticeable upon his emerald face.
"I-I'm not upset, I'm just disappointed!"
The words he spoke held no threat or meaning, it felt like it was forced out. Still, the distraction she caused was unnerving. His paws left the kill easily as he tried his best to escape her. What was she doing!?
"She's my friend, she's a whole lot better than you are! Come on, stop it, I already like her!"
He paused. Did he say that? He blinked back at her with a bit of a loss. He did have some feelings for Kijani, but he had no idea how to go about it. What does one do when he has feelings for another?

"Aww, I like upset better. Disappointed is so timid," she replied, her voice half growl, half purr. He was so funny! This was way more fun than she had expected. Hmmm, she supposed pridelanders could be somewhat amusing at times. Even the silly males.
"Oh? Do you like her?" Alci asked, elated, her grin wide and nearly wickened in its sweetness. She pressed herself closer to him as she circled, almost laughing as she did so.

"Stop that! I don't like you, I don't even know you!"
Fed up with the battering of back and forth, he promptly plants his rump down and tries to ignore the touching. Why was she doing this? Was this fun to her because it certainly was not for him. He let out a low whimper.
"I-I do like her, why, do you have a problem with that? I like a female, that's a good thing!"

Alcippe didn't stop. At least, not the way he wanted. She did cease her circling, but instead she plopped down right beside him, leaning in so she was nearly on top of him instead. She acted as if it were no big deal, continuing the conversation unphased and amused. Because she was, unconditionally, amused.
"Oh, I never doubed you liked a female. Are you saying you have?" She grinned wickedly, " Does that mean you thought you liked a male?" Oohhh, a taboo. At least, from what she had learned, that wasn't something you usually asked a man. What fun. She loved breaking rules.

"What!? No! I love females, at least in the sense of mates go!"
Crap, did he insinuate Kijani as a mate? He pulled away from her and sat himself down, her touching was uncomfortable, he had never met a female that was so straight forward with him. Was she trying to get something out of him or what?
"I like females, I just don't know what to do is all."
He paused.
"Why am I even telling you this?!"

Alci rolled her eyes, "Oh please. Don't know what you do? You males know what to do, even when it's not the time for it. You can't honestly tell me you don't know. It's against your gender."
She twitched her tail thoughtfully, bemused by the conversation, "I suppose if you were gay, though, that would be a truthful answer." She looked at him sideways, mischief dancing in her eyes. Mean maybe? Well, as long as she wasn't bored, she didn't much care. He was a stranger. It was no skin off her back.

"No one ever told me!"
He was fed up with the gay bit, he growled and scoffed. He liked Kijani, he would even consider her a mate if she let him. No one had ever sat him done and gave him the talk. His parents had not. Rage had not. Face it, not even Kinari had. Uzu was at a loss.
"I'm not gay and I am serious!"

"Then maybe something is wrong with your natural body functions because it's all instinct and that's all you boys are," she rolled her eyes, quickly growing bored of this. She was not here to lecture a sexually confused male.
She slipped to her paws, giving him a look that clearly said she thought he was pathetic. But then, what did she expect? Males could always seem to reach new lows. She took a few steps away, snatching him his discarded meal, and was more than happy to leave it at that.

"Shut up!"
Uzu growled and got to his feet. His eyes watched her carefully and back to his food. It seems that he was going to lose his meal after all of this. She had gotten him to lose his guard and now was taking his food. Sneaky little devil she was. A sly smirk slipped onto his face as he moved over to her, rubbing shoulder to her.
"If you want to take it, go right ahead. I'll just go get another. At least I know now that I like her and stuff, how, I guess I'll let my body do the work for that,"
Uzu leaned in and gave a swift lick to her cheek before dashing off to hunt once more.
