(AIM RP between Taj and Kim)
For once he was purposely looking for her; the girl he considered an annoying pest, the bane of his life. Okay, that might have been a childish over-reaction, but he was a child and he certainly didn't think of her in any other way.
He was just asking himself why he was doing this again when the dens came into view and he paused to cast his gaze around him.
It was oddly quiet today. He guessed it was because it was cooler than usual - the cloudy sky helping to block the sun - allowing the members to move around more comfortably. But if that was the case, Ursa might not even be here.
Dammit.
With a huff, he pressed onwards, trying his best to look for her whilst not obviously looking for her. It was hard.
He cleared his throat loudly and scuffed his paws, trying to make as much sound as possible without actually calling out to her.

The girl in question was in the middle of giving herself a bath, sitting at the mouth of her family's den as she slowly groomed one of her arms. The day was cool, or as cool as the desert got at least, and she was in a good mood to show for it. Odd for a Firekin indeed, but it brought about an energy that she normally didn't have, to be able to move about so freely. She had no clue Azar would be looking for her, couldn't have begun to imagine a good reason why, either, so when she heard him clearing his throat and making a general racket she looked at him with not just a little distrust and mild annoyance. She lowered her arm and just stared at him, hoping that he'd eventually go away when he realized she was there, just like the last time.
"...."

There she was! Ah ha! Right...now what? Oh yeah, act nice. NICE! No mouthing off and being a prat! Come on, Azar, you can do this!
He was giving himself a mental morale boost as he edged towards her, looking up at her and faking surprise.
"Oh, it's you."
Wait...what was that? That wasn't nice!!
"Um...hello."
Smooth...

Augh! There he went again, being snarky! And she hadn't even asked him to show up and interrupt her bath! >[
He was probably going to be rude as usual, starting with that annoyed greeting, and then that-- ........ "... HUH?"
Waaaitwaitwaitwaitwait! Was he being.... not... rude?? Okay. What game was he playing at?!

He stared at her, blankly for a moment, hoping she'd say something, anything, to make this somewhat easier. But she didn't and now he was left leading something that he wasn't quite sure how to lead.
Damn Uuo and her 'smart' ideas!
"Erm...hello." Wait, he'd already said that. Say something else! Anything!
"What're you doing? I mean...why aren't you out...enjoying the day or well...I dunno? Something wrong with your paws--I mean, no one to hang out with?" He winced. Being nice was haaaard.

Ursa... for being as shocked as he was, and for a short period even morbidly engrossed-- it was sort of like watching ants pile on meat, it was fascinating, yet somewhat disconcerting to watch. He WAS trying to be nice! WHY?
"No... not really. Everyone's busy taking advantage of the weather." She answered, just a touch warily. Yin-li, for instance, had taken the chance to see what water she could gather, and Uuo was doing... something, Ursa didn't spend much time with Uuo to know. Adara and Udd and Zapa were all busy too, and Iroh was training, so she ended up alone. How had that happened? "Why?" She couldn't help but ask. "You're... you're being nice. This isn't some kind of trick is it...?"
Not that he'd -tell- her if it was, but he might give himself away. It occurred to her that she should be ashamed at being so suspicious but, facing facts they didn't give each other the best reasons to trust one another.

He felt a ripple of irritation flutter through him. What was wrong with her? Why was she being such a dunce!? Couldn't she just accept that maybe he wasn't always an annoying git?! He exhaled noisily through his nose and gritted his teeth, trying to calm his temper.
But he couldn't.
"A trick? Yeah, it's a trick. In just a second I'm going to pounce at you, spray sand in your face, laugh and make a run for it." He narrowed his eyes. "I knew I shouldn't have listened to Uuo." And he turned and started stomping off, feeling slightly flustered about the situation and sort of wanting to put it behind him. He decided that being mean was a lot easier.

It was just as shocking to have him turn around and flip the script. If he weren't being so sarcastic she might've taken him seriously, but she realized her mistake as soon as she heard his tone. Jumping to her paws quickly, bath forgotten, she hurried to catch up with him, making sure he could see her so he wouldn't think she was trying to jump on him or something.
"No, Azar, wait! I'm sorry. I didn't mean-- ... It's just, I thought you hated me or something..."
She felt guilty for being so defensive, justified or not, it didn't matter. She made a point of befriending Zapalita because they were all Firekin, yet she couldn't trust someone who had been born amongst the rebels? It was wrong.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean."

He slowed his pace a fraction as she made after him, turning his head slightly so he could see her. What an odd thing this was between them. Friends to enemies in seconds and back again. It made his head hurt!
"I might be annoying sometimes, but I don't hate anyone. Hate is a bad word. You shoudn't hate pride members." Except maybe the Safi, but hell, they weren't proper members really...
He slowed further. "Well then, if you're sorry, I'm sorry too."
He came to a halt. What now? He lifted his eyes to look at her, wanting to break the awkward silence. "So...does this mean we're friends?"

He was right, hate was a bad, strong word. She should have known better, but she supposed considering she was supposed to be older she had been acting pretty childish over nothing. She slowed to stop beside him and relaxed a bit, smiling back.
"Well... I'd sure like that better than fighting with you all the time. I'd like to be friends. Definitely." She nodded slowly as she said this, but with finality. No reason to get him thinking she wasn't sure.

He shrugged and grinned. "I dunno, I think maybe you like arguing with me. I reckon you like me because of it. Else you wouldn't have bothered with even talking to me." He shook the mane from his eyes.
"Friends it is then."
So what now? Did this mean no more fighting with her or what? He didn't exactly have any other friends and the others he had met he'd fought with.
"Does...does this mean we're not allowed to fight anymore?" He blinked.

Ursa snorted playfully at his sarcastic theory, flicking her ears. She didn't like arguing like they had done because it had seemed genuinely spiteful, but, now that they were friends...
"Well... Uuo says every friendship worth it's grain of sand has fights. I'm not entirely sure how that relates, but I know she meant that it's a good sign if friends fight once in a while. It means they're being honest with each other."
There she went, talking too much. She shook her head with a sheepish grin.
"I think it's okay if we fight, as long as we make up again after."

What a deal! They were friends and they still got to fight. There wasn't anything bad about that at all.
He threw her a smirk and shook the bangs from his eyes. "Uuo's too smart for her own good, that's what I think, anyway." He snorted and then turned his head away, peering at her through the corner of his eyes. "Right, well, since that's all sorted now and we're friends who can till fight, I guess I'll be on my way. Gotta be up early tomorrow. Got training to do."
Throwing her one last glance he turned and made off across the sand, thinking suddenly that making a friend wasn't so bad after all.
