Lucian was still a lean little thing for a leopard but he was starting to get a little muscle tone and a little taller with each passing day. His mothers training was tough, but he could live through it. The small leopard aimed to be the best after all.
A few of his siblings out did him physically by a long shot, but he had brains on his side. He didn't need to be a brute to get a head, oh no, Lucian had smarts to plot ahead.
The cub had found him self "patrolling" the boarders again. Yeah, he wasn't really allowed out by the rogue lands, but as long as mother didn't know all would be alright. That blue lion from before, part of him wondered what ever happened to him.
To say the least, part of the cub was a little disappointed to come back and not find the silly blue lion still sitting where he had left him. Not as good of a slave as he thought, he supposed.

Mal wasn't really sure what exactly it was that had brought her out here. Her brother had come home after being lost for days, no worse for wear, and rattling on about some tiny thing with whom he'd been playing a game called, "HALT!"
Or, at least that's how he put it.
Somehow she doubted the creature involved had been either tiny nor playing. Then again she wasn't sure what tracing her brother's steps would reveal. The chances that she's run into the exact same creature in the exact same spot was remote at best. And that was assuming her brother had even given her the right directions to begin with. He wasn't known for a keen sense of direction after all.
Still. It had been a lazy and boring day. Even if she ended tumbling off a cliff and into the sea it had too be more interesting then staying home.

The cub perched him self on the same rock as before and just watched the moving fields of tall grass sway with the wind. He'd be allowed to do this when he was older and his mother would praise him.. but right now, if anyone spotted him and reported he was out by the borders of the pride, he'd be in deep s**t.
Lucian didn't care right now though. He wanted a slave of his own and apparently slaves came from the rogue lands. He was still far to little to venture out there on his own and over power a creature to be his slave. So, the cub just sat and watched.
His efforts were not for nothing either, off yonder he spotted her. A golden lioness who seemed to be on her way to the Binadamu lands? Strange, she resembled that goofy blue lion...
Lucianus's fur raised up in an attempt to look scary. The little blue cub let out a warning roar, which probably sounded more adorable to an adult feline then scary.

(( xD! Mal would be a terrible slave. Absolutely terrible. ))
She paused ever so often to sniff the grasses. Okay, so maybe her brother had lead her on a wild goose chase but maybe this wasn't a complete loss. All around this area she caught the scent of small prey. Rabbits, ground nesting birds and the like. All things she could easily carry home if caught.
Then, one of the most adorable sounds she'd ever heard yanked her attention away from the game in the grasses.
A little roar.
She sat up on her haunches, looking a bit like a meerkat, so she could get a better view out over the tall grass. The little blue leopard was easy enough to spot and she turned to head directly toward him.

The leopards eyes widened when the lion , instead of running for fear, had turned and was now headed his way. Lucians brows lowered into something like a scowl. What was with these lions.
"HALT!" He tried, maybe she wasn't as dumb as the last lion. She looked smarter at least. For one, this one didnt look goofy.
The leopards tail twitched, clearly annoyed.

Huh? That made her pause. Did the little blue fuzzball just tell her to halt? Seriously! Did the giant dope actually direct her to the right spot?
She bounded forward, setting both paws on the edge of the rock so she was eye to eye with the cub.
"You're even smaller then you looked from way over there, kiddo. What are you play'n at now? Guard?"
A little leopard, he was too cute.

The leopard's nose wrinkled and his face shifted into a scowl. Who was this lion? What was it with these rogue lander types not knowing manners. The leopard gave the lion a small hiss and fluffed up. It was an adorable site to behold.
"I'm not playing and Im not small!" Okay so he knew he was pretty little. Even for a cub his age, Lucian was small.
"And this isnt a game ! " The cub took a bold step forward fuming. It was easy to tell he was angry, but the site was so adorable.

Mal wasn't massive herself. Unlike their brother, neither of the sisters had grown much above the average size for females.
Despite the cub's aggressive tone Mal crossed her paws and rested her head down upon them.
"Never said it was a game," her voice was cool and smooth. "You can play like... practise. It doesn't have to be a game."
Only one thing concerned her. If the cub was here, where was mom? She just hoped she noticed the approach of another full grown cat before it was too late.

Lucian closed his mouth and just scowled at the lion. She was different then the other lion he had meet earlier. Slowly, his face relaxed into his normal suave arrogant mask.
"Practice ? " The cub smiled, that sounded like something his mom would have told him. Only she'd tell him to be the best cut throat ect ect along those lines. He looked up thoughtfully at the lioness in front of him.
"Okay, then I order you to practice with me." Okay, so Lucian forgot that not everyone knew who his mother was and that Binadamu was not all so powerful where random Rogues would bow down before them.
His arrogant attitude could be blamed on his mother. Though some would say Lucian was just a cheeky little b*****d.

Huh? This pint sized leopard was ordering her to practise with him? He was less then a third her size! No, that was the wrong answer. She bit her tongue.
Still though... he was so small. Where did he get all the pep?
"I won't say that I won't play with you," she said a bit cautiously, "but what gives you the right to order me to do anything?"
Okay, well, at least her curiosity would be satisfied.

Lucian gave her a wicked grin that should not have been on a cub so young's maw. Still, honestly, it would have been odd growing up under Atia and not gain such a wicked grin.
"Lucianus," The cup threw his name out there like it was well known. Even in Binadamu, not everyone knew who he was. His mother, on the other hand, was a name very well known with in the pride. Still, Lucian had an ego and sometimes liked to think he was as feared as his mother and well known.
"And its not playing, thats for babies and fools, " The little leopard gave the lioness a look like she should have known that, "Practicing and learning is what refined leopards and lions do. What true citizens do." He puffed his chest out proud. Proud to be an honored citizen.

"Better a fool then a tyrant," she snapped back, sitting down next to the rock. Her tone wasn't particularly aggressive, but she was clearly more tense then usual. What was with this cub? He was too young to really understand his behaviour but every move he made was in direct violation of everything she belived in.
Still though. She took a deep breath.
"Do you sit out here often?"

Lucian smiled at being called a tyrant... but he was sure that he'd never get to be one. It was his job... erm, his mothers job to be an adviser to the Caesar. Leader ship being passed by blood mostly had the leopard way back in line for any tyrant position in the future.
"Some times, when I'm in the mood," The cub eyed the lioness. She had a brain unlike that blue lion. At least she wasn't begging to play a stupid game of hault.

She caught the grin and turned away, disgusted. She still wasn't sure where she was but it was becoming clear that she was near the outskirts of one of (in her opinion) the less desirable prides. And this kid was a prime example of what they could do to a guy. Playing guard? Grinning at the mention of tyranny? How old was he?
"Then I suppose there's a good chance you've had the pleasure of meeting my brother?"

Lucian tilted his head. He thought the two had some resemblance but he hadn't really figured they were related. Maybe her brother had gotten dropped on his head a few times to many. Who knew? Lucian didn't really care though. There were much more important things like training then worrying who was related to who in the rogue lands.
"The big blue idiot." His tone was flat and cold, but on him it was slightly adorable.
