Mal was lazing about under the shade of a tree. her and her siblings had just taken down a rather large waterbuck and she was feeling well fed, well rested and at ease with the world.
Staring up through the branches she watched clouds glide through the sky. One, two, three... this was the life.
Doodle p***s says:
He wasn't sure how long he'd been travelling this time, but there was still plenty of the world still to see, well at least this small piece of it they called theirs.
His jowls opened with a yawn, before snapping close. The heat of the sun was no friend to this ebony coated lion, and with a thick, full mane it was definitely no friend indeed. For the moment, he saught out the shade of a tree..

Mal noticed the stranger approaching before he saw her. Or... at least she thought she spotted him first. Not the type to be naturally weary of strangers she wasn't much bothered by his approach. He didn't seem to be starving or on the prowl so she doubted he was looking for dinner.
What then? The shade like she'd been? That sounded likely. Not wanting to surprise him she sat up. "Hey there!" she called out with a grin. "Looking for some shade?

"You seemingly have read my mind.." He said as his eyes searched for the owner of the voice, his gaze falling onto the lioness not to far from him, his ears flicked forward as his tail slashed lazily behind him.
1/3 says:
She grinned, "Well don't be afraid there, big guy. I won't bite, I've already eaten today."
s**t. That wasn't as witty as she'd imagined. Ah well. Couldn't get a good first impression with everybody. "Travelling alone, are we?"

He chuckled, as his paws carried him towards her, golden orbs danced over her figure as he lowered to his hind haunches with a greatful sight.
His paws were dead tired from carrying his large self around for so long without rest. "Im Xanthus Rami, but please..just Xanthus. And yes, I do travel alone."
1/3 says:
"It's always nicer to travel with company," she grinned. "You look exhausted. Where do you hail from?"
A handsome lion, surely. Should she offer him some food? She mulled it over in her head. He looked healthy, maybe he was doing just fine without her charity. Then again, could it really hurt to ask?

"I've had company a few times, but it doesnt generally last overly long, though I do welcome it. Its always nice to have someone to converse with, to share the sights with." He lowered to his belly, stretching his front legs out infront of him.
"My family lines are deep within the pridelands, though I've been out on my own since I was just a cub."
1/3 says:
"I've been wandering with my siblings for as long as I can remember," they'd had their mother as well in their earlier years, but she'd long since passed.
"It's nice to get out on my own sometimes but I wouldn't trade them for every zebra on the savanah."
She glanced up at the sky. She rememberd hearing some quaint pridelander belife about the stars, what was it now?

Doodle p***s says:
"I miss my siblings I must admit, my sisters were my dearest friends before I left.." He sighed a bit, musing once more over the pang that he felt in his heart, he did miss his sisters, his mother and of course his brothers something awful, though he didnt feel as quiet as close to his father as he did the others.
"Hmm..I could ate a bite or two, but I wouldnt want to take a meal away from anyone
. Im used to hunting for myself..which keeps me so trim." He grinned.
1/3 says:
"You're sisters sound like fine women," she stood, then streached.
"We've already eaten our fill. Better you have some then those flea infested vultures," she glanced back in the direction of her family. "It's not far. But maybe you'd still like to rest a while before we go?"
He looked worn and tired. Nothing a bit of rest wouldn't fix but she knew how hard it was to walk just a bit further in
that state.

Doodle p***s says:
"I could walk for many more miles before my body forced me to rest, I've done it many times." He said as he rose to his paws.
"Thank you for the kind offer, its not often found these days." He said as he moved a bit closer to her, his body reminding him of the many years he had on the beautiful young lioness beside him, reminding him of how old he really was.
1/3 says:
"I personaly belive the world would be a better place if offers such as that were easier to find. So," she smiled, "I do what I can."
His age wasn't of particular intrest for her. There were many older lions who held their own in battle and other wise. This one was clearly no exception. A lone traveller who hunted solo had to be strong.
"It's near the watering hole," she nodded, follow me."

"Thats a nice spot to secure...hunting around there must be amazing.." He said as he followed after her, his eyes danced and darted here and there.
One could never be to careful these days, demons and night walkers were becoming ever so bolder these days, and those that just enjoyed the death of others were growing in numbers, the days of his childhood were long in the past.
1/3 says:
His concerns were unwarented. Neither Mal nor either of her siblings had any intent to harm a non agressive stranger.
As she promised it was only a short walk to the carcass. She chattered on about varrious things. None of which were very important. Once they'd arrived it only took a few words with her sister to let Xanth close to the carcass.
Once she had the okay she turned back and nodded.

He paused, looking around as the sisters chattered amongest one another, his eyes flicked back to the pair before wandering off into the distance, there was no doubt these two were sisters, he thought with a faint chuckle.
Once all has been explained, he ripped a chunk off what was left, and lowered to his hind hanches to nurish his body.
