He had left the pridelands for now. Oh sure, he'd return before sundown, as his parents always insisted.. But he wanted to get away. He felt as if he didnt belong there.. He wasnt the type to bow down to the females.. He had a spunk about him that wasn't bad, but his family looked down upon it.. He was supposed to be completely submissive; something he had never learned to be.
His past experiences with other males of the pride had done nothing but confuse him more. He narrowed his eyes, shaking his head as the orange fluff on the top of his head shook and fell in his eyes.
He wasnt sure WHAT had happened.. Surely he was supposed to be happy in the pride his parents and the rest of his family were happy in. It wasnt a bad pride, he was safe and loved.
But it wasnt -his- pride. There was nothing for him there, even though he knew his Cousin Juno had it worse. Her ebony pelt in the bright pelted pride showed she wasnt of the best blood lines.. Even if her own mother was an ebony female, she was going to forever be the ugly duckling.
He pouted for her, but then groaned as he thought of her being 'superior' to a male of her choosing one day.
It was ludacris, and something he wasn't sure he was into.
But the sun was bright in the sky, the prairie grass blowing in the very little wind. The watering hole was a little far off, but that didn't bother him... Wasn't like he was thirsty at the moment anyway.

 Aryaisha was enjoying the day. The sun was warming his brown fur and the little bit of wind there was, was tugging on his black main. He had already been hunting and quite full so he was just wandering aimlessly when he came upon a watering hole. After drinking his fill he sat down at the water edge, his mind wandering.
It was the small wavelets that lapped at his front paws that gave Ary an idea. While he has been working on finding a balance between being serious and childish, every now and then he loves to just act like a big cub and this idea had childish written all over it.
He got to his feet and with a great big yell he jumped into the water. The water splashed up and out, the droplets sparkling like diamonds in the sun. Ary was drenched and he was loving it as he watched the water ripple and splash out and around him, as he stood with the water lapping at his belly.

-timeskip to get him to the water hole faster-
The walk had been tiring, but he was getting older, and his muscles and legs were starting to be able to travel for longer distances at a time.
He could almost smell the water, and after the walk he had.. the thirst began to grip his throat.
He was used to the beach, where the water was salty and undrinkable. He found it a great relief that the water he was about to come upon smelled like freshwater.. He was pretty sure it was freshwater anyway.. After all, what -other- kind of water was out in the middle of the nowhere?
He flicked his tail, and his paws hurt. He sighed, yawning a bit. But when the water came into view, he darted towards it full speed, completely disregarding the older, possibly dangerous lion playing in the waters.

Aryaisha was having fun as well as cooling off, as he splashed around in the water he was so focused on the water that he didn't even scents a prescience coming until they were almost on top of him. When he stopped briefly to watch the water ripple and move in the sunlight, a different kind of movement caught his attention. He saw a yellow/white lion 'cub' come rushing towards him, or more accurately towards the water.
Figuring the young lion meant no harm to him Ary was not ignorant in the fact that even the youngest creature can be deadly so in a flash of thought he waited until the cub was still a safe distance away before using his front paws to splash water directly in the young lion's path. He hoped that the sudden 'materialization' of a bunch of water right in front of him would make the cub pause enough for Ary to get a better read on him.

The lunge into the water cooled off the overheating lion cub. He emerged to the surface, chuckling a bit. His legs kicked underneath him as he kept himself afloat.
When the wave of water rushed at him, he submerged again, before rising to the top, sputtering a bit.
But he was laughing now, and his eyes were happy. He loved to play, and he loved the water.
Nothing was better than the two things together.
He looked at the bigger lion, suprised as he didn't know he was there until just now. He paused, only kicking out when he felt he was losing the fight to stay afloat. Pushing over to where he was able to stand in the water, he looked back at the bigger lion.
"Well.. Hi there."

Aryaisha watched with amusement in the antics of this young cub as he played in the water. And when he surfaced he was tempted to help the cub to float but he feared that it would scare the young boy. He waited until the cub was safely standing and had noticed his presence before saying, "Hi yourself. Great day for a swim isn't it?"
(sorry its not much buffy )

Okay so he wasnt going to be eaten today. Something about the big lion made him breathe a sigh of relief as he was almost positive nothing about the lion was mean.
He smiled, nodding while splashing at the water with a front paw.
"Oh yes, its so hot out today."
He flicked his tail, and when it rested it merely floated atop the water.
He wriggled his butt and blinked a little.
"My name is Betta. Whats yours?"
Betta, named after a fish like the rest of his family, was right at home in the water.

Aryaisha smiled at the young bright colored cub as he splashed in the water, and Ary used his paw to create some small and large ripples in the water. "Its nice to meet you Betta, my name is Aryaisha tho most call me Ary." While Ary stood still and let the water settle around him, he had an idea that just might surprise Betta. Once the water was relatively still, and with a strong flick of his tail, Ary removed his waterlogged tail from the water and that sudden move created a sprinkle of water to come flying from the wet tail tip.
With a smile on his face he asked, "So what brings you out here?"

What brought him out here was unhappiness with his place in life. Of course, this was a stranger, not someone he could tell anything of any substance to.
"Im out for a stroll."
He chuckled, happy for his ability to easily lie at this time.
"Though I was really thirsty, and today is a scorcher!"
He exclaimed, eyes widening.

"A stroll is good but playing in water is better" Aryaisha jogged from the water, creating yet more waves and splashes. And once on dry land gave himself a good shaking, after most of his fur was no longer water logged he looked a bit like a fuzzy fluffy ball. With a grumble Ary started to smooth his still damp fur down, "When ever I get wet and try to dry off my fur just sticks out like there is no tomorrow and I end up looking like a big ball of fluff." He smiled to take any edge off of his words, after all he was use to acting like a cub and he liked it.
Once he had his fur, yet again, for the most part, fixed he flopped down in the grass and spread out so the sun would do its thing. "So Betta, you ever been out this way before? I'm asking because because I like wandering and seeing new places, and I've never been over here before." He said all of this with his eyes closed and a almost sleepy expression on his face.
Ary was waiting for the young lion to answer when the wind picked up, with it came a multitudes of scents. One of them was very familiar to Ary, it was someone from his past that he had been looking for. Trying not to be insulting Ary got to his paws and with a sheepish smile to the young cub said, "I'm sorry Betta but I think I sent someone that I have been looking for. I should go before the sent is lost." He nodded to the young lion before jogging into the wind, trying to follow the sent.
