  I stayed in one place for too long
Gotta get on the run again
I saw the one thing that I want
Hell bent, get outta bed
I'm throwing rocks at your window
You're tying the bed sheets together
They say we are dreaming too big
I say this town's too small
Dream
Send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
I need to break out
And make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand new day
It's the brand new day
I've taking hits like a brother
But I'm getting back up again
And from the moment I saw her
I was hell bent with heaven sent
I'm throwing rocks at your window
We're leaving this place together
They say that we're flying too high
Well get used to looking up
Dream
Send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
I need to break out
And make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand new day
It's the brand new day

Ozzie flopped down next to a rather solid-looking tree trunk, exhausted and in dire need of some sleep. She'd been chased a good half a day now, those hyenas getting rabid with hunger. On any other day she'd be able to fight them off and go on her way, but she simply was not in the mood. She had been tired upon waking from a not-so-restful sleep, and her general, mildly-depressed mood had been heightened by this sense of helplessness. Hyenas were the last thing she needed to deal with.
However, she didn't sense any others in the immediate area, and was sure she had lost the hyenas - one had collapsed and the others had found their meal - so she figured it would be safe for her to let exhaustion overtake her. The lioness knew she looked like hell at the moment, and wanted badly the remedy that in case she were to meet anyone... interesting.

Aidan had headed out earlier in the day to go on a hunt for himself. He was planning on being out for a few days at least. Finally a chance to be by himself without constant watch from his Father. Though for the cranky Grinch to raise him...he gave him credit.
His ears perked as a strange scent filled his nose. Something was nearby, and it was not prey...not anything he'd smelled before. As he slunked toward the smell, he caught sight of a strange creature. Clothes? Was that a lion? His curiousity overwhelmed him as he approached.
"Hey there."

Ozzie's head whipped up, her glasses falling askew in with the hurried movement. "Whut!?" she exclaimed, blinking the tiredness from her eyes and letting them focus a moment on who - or what - had awaken her. She stared a moment, taking the green, vined male in - he obviously wasn't going to hurt her, or else he had just lost his best chance.
Without getting up, she straightened her glasses and shook some hair from her eyes, "Er... Hi~"

Aidan jumped a bit when the clothed lioness shouted. He chuckled, then sat down, making no attempt to get into such a seemingly dangerous lionesses space. The smile on his face though showed no fear. It was somewhat in amusement...if not just hiding a laugh.
"Sorry. I thought you heard me." He took the chance to get a better look at her clothing. "Interesting attire. I have heard of lions that wear clothes before. Never seen one before though."

Ozzie shrugged and worked herself up into a sitting position, "It's fine - I was asleep is all, so I didn't hear you come up." It was a bit embarrassing to admit being so fast asleep that her senses weren't aware, but it was the truth. "And it's odd for me to see a lion with his back side covered in vines," she retaliated with a sardonic smile dancing on her maw, though the comment held little more than a joke on its edge.

Aidan chuckled at the lionesses comment toward his markings. He himself would prefer them on his legs instead, but he was born with them mainly on his rump. "Can use use your clothing?"
He lifted, then tapped his paw to the ground, digging his padding into the dirt until a vine began sprouting next to him. It was small, but he had not intended to intimidate. Just to show the vines had purpose. Though he could make vines and other plants grow, the vines on his body never moved.
"They come in handy when trying to scare off others from a successful hunt."

Ozzie's brow shot up at this, and she had to work to hide that she was impressed. "Well, perhaps not like that... But it has a purpose." She shifted a bit, and the leather rubbed together with a muted metallic sound. "The shirt is armor, which is useful to a wanderer who depends only on herself in a pretty crazy wilderness, hm?" She accompanied it with a smile, but not an entirely honest and soft-hearted one. It was accompanied by a peer over top of her glasses, giving it a bit of a bratty edge.

"Well it does look like that would protect you. It covers most of your body." He moved closer to see the extent of her clothing. "I must say it is very interesting." He sat back down and smiled again, a slight grin hidden within it.
"I am Aidan. And I would love to hear of the adventures such a lioness as yourself must've seen."

Ozzie shrugged and watched him carefully, "I was just chased half the day by hyenas - I'm really more in the mood to listen than to talk today." She hoped that the hyena comment would be enough to answer the polite comment he had made about adventures - lions were never actually interested. "What about you - where do you come from?"

"Ah I see. Well I won't ask you much right now then. Though I would like to know your name." He chuckled a bit, then took a deep breath as she asked him where he came from.
"I was born a long way from here...but raised here in these lands. It is a long story that I will not go into unless you are interested in hearing." This was an exciting thing. Aidan had never met a lioness before.

Ozzie nodded, "Fair enough - my name is Ozzie." She considered his words for a moment, glancing around. It didn't seem that there was any reason for immediate departure, especially having the company of a male if something really bad were to happen. "I've got time."

Aidan smiled a bit when she mentioned her name. "Ozzie. I like that name." As he heard her, he nodded a little, then rested down on his stomach. He had not shared his past with anyone before.
"As I said I was raised here but born elsewhere. Well, when I was only a few days old, my family's Pride was attacked. Blood was shed all around my mother and I. Before she could stop me I ran. My Father was away on a hunting trip."
He continued. "I was found a few days later by a big green lion named Grinch. He raised me as his own son and we had many adventures together. I did find my Mother had been killed. And my...well I don't consider him a father, but he's around now too. I'm just out for a break now."

Ozzie smiled and nodded as she listened, and once he finished she responded, "Well, that's quite the tragic story." She winked, and continued, "I'd say that I was glad that you... "father" was around now, but since it doesn't seem to matter to you, that would be a bit unnecessary!"

"Well we are friends. That's all I really care about. My Father isn't the go out and do things kind of lion. He lays around a lot." He smiled a bit. This was more fun than he'd thought. A new face, and a lioness to boot.
"Do you need a place to stay and rest? I'm not going far from here. I have a week's worth of hunting planned out here. A sort of vacation you could say from the den."
