Shoo was sitting down beside the swamp's edge, his long lean frame beside his friend Mono's as his tail tucked behind his back paws. A soft smirk crossed his maw as he tilted his head and spoke out to the black lioness.
"So, you seem pretty happy today, why is that, MMM?"
He snickered as he nudged her, he knew damn well why Mono had been in such a good mood. She was crushing /hard/ on someone, and it was all over her face!
"Please, Shoo, shut it."
She rolled her eyes and turned from him, her paws side by side.
"You need to stop asking such silly things, you know-"
She spoke in a matter-o-fact kind of tone, frowning.
"Please, Mono, I know you, you are so inl-"
He was about to finish, but Mono cut in, her brown eyes narrowed.
"SHOOO, UGH!"
She was SO SICK OF HIM, he kept bugging her about her life (Love life) and this was getting old. Hissing she stood up and looked around.
"We're not identical twins so don't finish my sentence."
Shoo muttered and rolled his eyes.
"So, where is this guy anyway? Shouldn't he be here by now? Mmmm?"
Mono's ears pinned backwards as she sighed and sat back down.
"He will show up when he wants to, Shoo, Relax."

Domevlo had made his way through the most of the swamp, as was evidenced by the dampness of the large lion's furr. Drying swampwater and mud was up to his elbows, thanks to recent rain, and an unseen root that had almost tripped him earlier. But now, as he got closer to the edge of the swamp, the murky water was dying down, and there was an odd smell. A sort of sour mix of 'fresh' air and swamp.
Nervously he tread further. The thought of being so close to the outside world scared him. He'd never found any happyness there. Why so close then? He sighed and shook his head.
It was the sound of a hiss that made his ears perk, and his heart leap into his throat. Danger was the first thought that entered his mind. Rushing fourth Domevlo came upon Mono and another. Had this been where the sound had come form? and if so, why did she seem so relaxed now? Domevlo reguarded the other lion carefully.
"Mono..." He wasn't exactly great with greetings.

As Domevlo moved into sight Mono smiled softly and glanced back at her friend, giving him the 'I told you so!' look before stepping down from her resting place. She walked over to Domevlo and spoke out in a rather soft tone, as if she were trying to sound more... girly.
"This is Shoo, he is a friend."
She made sure he knew that. He was a friend, nothing more.
"Glad you could make it."
Shoo glanced at Domevlo, smirking to himself as he waved a paw at the other male. Mono was into this guy? Weird. He seemed... strange, but whatever. Shoo didn't care too much, he just wanted to see this male for himself. He thought Mono was making things up!
"So, should I leave you two alone or what?"
He snickered.

"I appologise for being late," Domevlo said. His voice, as always, had the volume of a whisper, but a scratchyness. Damaged vocal cords were no doubt to blame, but on the bright side, it was a pleasant voice. Domevlo was pleased to know that the other lion, Shoo, was no threat. For that was just what he'd though the other might have been - no other prospect entered his mind, for Domevlo had long ago banished any thought that someone might develop any feelings of love for him. So..he'd learned to banish those kinds of thoughts from his mind. Friendship alone had been more than he could have hoped for.
"Please, don't let my presence drive you away."

"Oh, I should be saying that to you two."
Shoo laughed as he stood and yawned, his red pelt covered in mud and moss. He was born here, this was his home, it could be seen all over his body. He looked like he had stuff growing in his mane! His eyes narrowed as he moved himself over to Mono and Domevlo and spoke out again, this time his tone seemed a bit more whole hearted.
"Lovebirds need time to nest, I know how it is."
"SHOO!"
Mono could have killed him right then and there. She could have dug her claws so deep into his neck that the tips would have snapped off in anger. How could he SAY something like that, and in front of Domevlo too! Why... why would he do that, friends DIDN'T DO THAT.
"Domevlo, I, ugh."
She had NO idea how to recover from something like that. Not a clue.

Domevlo had one brow furrowed. It probably would have been two, but you could never tell. The allusion was missed on him. He took Shoo's words for their litteral meaning. But, what did lovebirds have to do with the conversation, anyway? Or was Shoo just a little crazy in the head.
Domevlo gave Mono a questioning look.
Uuuh~ "Excuse me? I dont quite,..understand. What does that have to do with...?"

"You don't know?"
Shoo snickered and puffed his chest out, glancing at Mono with a rather dirty look. He was getting her back for what had happened last week, this personal attack at her was not meant to be harsh, rather to get her to be truth to herself... and to get back at her... but, yeah. Moreso the good and less the bad. He didn't want to have bad dreams about this after all!
"Lovebirds, you two. Mono has this ridiculous Infatuation with you."
Yep. She was going to murder him. She was going to look for a place to hide his body tonight after she killed him and ripped him limb from limb. Why did she trust he wouldn't open his goddamn mouth? She should really have known better, really.
"..."
Mono just stood there, feeling sick to her gut. He was NOT suppose to know that. Not ever.

"Feh" Domevlo shook his head, ears folded back, looking at neither of them. "That's a cruel joke."
((and...I brainfart))

Mono couldn't understand what he meant by his words and felt her heart sink back into her chest.
"Joke? So I'm a joke now?"
Yeah, today couldn't get any worse. She moved herself back from both males and turned around. If she was just a joke then why did she care so much? Maybe she was just being stupid again, wishful thoughts often left her crushed anyway.
"Fine. I understand now."
She would have cried if she could, but she felt so numb about this she ended up just running away, dashing off into the murky swamplands; heartbroken.
Shoo frowned at Mono as she ran off before turning to face Domevlo.
"Why did you have to say that? Gods, you pretty much just spit in her face."
He wanted to put the blame on him, rather than face the facts.

"Not you, Mono, I-" Domevlo tried to say something before Mono ran off. He wanted to run after her, but thought it best to let her go a little while. Instead, he'd face the lion who had caused this mess.
"I did nothing! You and your talk of birds and inability to keep your nose out of Mono's business that are to blame!" Normaly the lione talked slower, choosing his words more carefully, but he let his anger choose his words, and evidentally anger had a faint accent. "Can you not see how laughable it is that..that anyone could hold,..even the slightest bit of affection for me?! I saught nothing more than friendship with anyone, and rejection after bitter rejection I came to seek not even that, but a home! I was lucky to find a friend in Mono1 And now, now you... This never would have happened if you hadn't made your,..your damned allusions!"

"Guy, are you kidding me? Do you not understand what is going on here? Are you that blinded by your past to see what is happening right now?"
Shoo seemed to be rather upset about this too, he never wanted his friend to be upset but, this guy was a class act! Why was he so thick?
"Mono cares for you, like, ugh, as more than a friend. I think she cares way too much for you. You can't see that?"
He cocked a brow, his tail flicking from side to side.
"Maybe if you opened up your eyes things wouldn't be so clouded by this little idea of unhappiness you seem to have wrapped around your thick head."

"No more of your words," Domevlo said, promtply turning from Shoo. "I was happy." Thanks for ruining it.
Now he had to go find Mono. This was a fine mess. Domevlo wasn't sure how to clean it up.
