Tsu was wondering.. having walked for a long time after meeting and staying with .. an amazon for one night and helped her come to grips with many things.. Feeling accmoplished that he had helped another. He set off on again.. another adventure to find someone to 'heal'. He had what looked like a sack around his neck which help fish. His main food source. That he wrapped up in leafs to lessen the scent of it for prying predators.  His large .. body finding it hard to camo~ though he didn't much care about that. What he cared about is if he intimidated others.. Tsu's looked about in the large thiick  forest..walking but still no luck on any sign of a creature that did not flee at his very sight. He decided.. he would lay now brfore going even further.. and thats exact what he did. Laying under a very large tree that provided lil sunlight to touch his dark body..Yellow eyes watching out to the distance...

Nav'hian walked with a slight limp, a by product of his last tussle with a female who had not liked the idea of returning to his pride with him. He was a large lion, though most of his bulk was actually fluff, not many people knew that, as no one dared get too close to him. He was scowling as he walked, the expression on his face was dangerous. Inside, he was calling himself all types of fool for allowing a female to injury him. The voice in his head sounded like his father, as usual, which made the insults even more hard to bear.
He snarled out loud, claws diging into the ground as he walked, tearing up the grass he walked on.


-

Tsu's ears caught up the thrashing tares of the grass.. and bushes. Slowly.. he lifted his head up.. and in front of him.. walking as if he was taring down every lass limb of the forest was a male. Almost as large as he. Slowly.. he made his way up a tree whos limbs seemed to be lowered than the rest. Only one eye he could see from.. he watched.. then when he got close enough. "Stranger." He annoucned. "What has stirred you wrong." Looking down.. the whole reaosn he went up was to avoided also getting his limbs trampled on by the ..rather angry looking male.

-

Nav'hian glanced at where the other voice had come from, the scowl on his face still present and rather aggressive looking. He scanned the area, trying to spot the owner of the voice, and finally pinpointed Tsu after a moment. Now, the annoyed look was directed straight at him.
“That is none of your business,” he snarled, claws still clenched though he had slowed to a stop. Damn it, why was he so angry all the time? He thought, furiously. He was acting like his father! He hated it! His scowl had grown in intensity, a snarl had worked across his face.

-

Yes.. I know." His voice went low but it was still deep. "Have I wronged you lion?" He asked.. and slowly moved forward in the branch.. making it arch.. but it was so strong that it would likely not break with his fish diet weight. Ears went down but his looks.. and facial features were tender.

-

Nav'hian let his shoulders relax slightly, seeing the open face of the othe rmale. He had done nothing wrong, and Nav'hian would not attack an innocent male, as he would be of no use to him.
“No,” he admitted, his voice still a low growl, though that was, admittedly, his normal tone of voice, “I am afraid my temper has gotten the best of me, once agian.” IT was happening more and more, the sweet, mild mannered boy of his youth was disappearing. “I am Nav'hian, and I appologise for my behaviour.” He didn't want the male to think he was normally like this, it was just...everything was snowballing in and he was struggling to stay himself.

-

: Slowly.. Tsu came down as soon as the fowl attitude and anger was tamed down just ever so slightly. "Once again? " He said softly.. carefully."Tsukouru. A surfer from the ocean. Pleased to meet you~ " And once fully ready to get off the tree. He jumped down and stood almost as if they were the same height. He just lowered himself only slightly to be the same height. "Are .. you hungry?" He questioned. "I have seen many angry gods in my time. You almost scared the black right out of my fur," He said in a joking manner... be easy. Just in case he offended the other.

-

Nav'hian shrugged of fhis question of 'once again', no need to bore the other male with his complaints of his rather harsh temper at times. No need to scare him off either, since he seemed rather harmless. He eyed the other male when he stepped in front of him, surprised to find that he was slightly larger than Nav'hian, which was unusual as he was quite large. Food? He paused, testing his paw subtly. It was still injured. It would do him no good to hunt on it. “I am, a little hungry, Tsukouru,” he admitted, and couldnt help but chuckle, a deep rich sound, at the male's joke. “I appologise if I startled you. I have been told I do look a little like a boulder when my temper is roused. I am harmless most of the time, I assure you.”

-

"Ah? Same." He nodded as he sat and started to take his overly large paw in the semi not even fitting his paw in sack. Then he threw it up in the air before catching with his maw.. and slowly put it down in front of the large male. A fish.  large one at that. "I am but a mere surfer trying to find something i think I lost.. but i have time.. Maybe I can help? Lend an ear?" He asked.. and seemed rather harmless at that.. "No need to apologize.. there is really no need."

-

Nav'hian blinked in surprise at the showy gesture, which landed a fish in front of him. He hadn't had fish in years, not since he had travelled briefly to the ocean and had caught a few of them for himself. He hadn't been back, so it had been a long while since he had eaten it. “Thank you,” he said, in response to the food, and laughed again, this time it was a bitter noise. “You do not wish to lend an ear to my problems. You would find yourself driven crazy or die of boredom.” He lowered his head towards the fish and began to rid it of it's scales with practiced ease. Just because it had been a while since he had done it last, didn't mean he had forgotten how.

-

A smiel crossed his maw.. the male knew fish. While a small cheetah creature ran .. and didn't seem to like the ocean. She was very.. angry towards him. Wondering why exactly. "I don't mind.. a long story.. is not something I will run away from,. I find it interesting.. for I seek many of stories.. and I.. in turn won't judge nor go crazy from. Maybe it will help your anger?" Sitiing and wagging his tail. Happily to even hear of it all.

-

Nav'hian knew the other male was simply trying to be friendly, but he had begun to tense again. He had finished scaling the fish, and lowered his head to take a large bite from it. He chewed carefully, crunching the bones as well as the flesh, so they would nto get caught his throat and cause irritation. “You will forgive me if I do not wish to speak of it,” he said, shortly. “It contains sensitive information that I would rather was not shared.” His failures, mostly. His lack of ability. His general poor form and horrible life so far. He simpy didn't wish the other male to know of it all.

-

"I see. Its alright." He nodded as he slowly went back to lay back down.. "Forgiven~ " He added. Happily. "Is there anything i could at least do-" He paused as he smelt some sort of blood.. sadly he didn't think anything of it til now. "Ah.." He leaned forward. "Injured? If you would allow me~" He again sunk his paw in to the pouch and brought out seaweeds.

-

Nav'hian looked suspicious as the male pulled out the seaweeds. “What are those?” he demanded, not harshly but out of paranoia. He had learnt the hard way that not everyone was out to help him, even if they wanted him to believe they were. He didn't want to see unkind, but that didn't mean he was going to follow along blindly.

-

"Seaweeds. It has seasalt so it will help heal wounds and clear them of infection. Here." He slowly sat up and showed him the seaweeds length. "We can wrap it down.. and you can have it on for a while..too much mud can cause mold on your wounds if not covered like you have it now..." He looked straight at him.. Scar and all with those darting yellow eyes. This lion was quite ... kind. He always had been but not as lively as this.. he used to be cold, stoic even if he meant to be loving. This Tsu.. was opposite and would rather jump off cliffs and surf most of his days before now. "You know..whatever your going through.. I can soley give this one advice. Don't ever take for granted what you have.. and if you look deep enough.. not everything is as bad as it seems.. maybe ." He looked down and offered to wrap up the paw. "Maybe a lil smile would help a lil.. thinkin positive. Would never hurt anyone."

-

Nav'hian considered his words, and silently held out his injured paw to the other male. The things about the seaweed sounded...plausible, so he would allow the male to tend his injured paw, and stayed silent, as he considered the rest of his words. “How can I stay positive when everything is wrong?” He asked, sounding honestly curious, even if his words did end on a bit of a scoff. There was only so long one can stay optimstic. He had given up on optimism so long ago, but now he was simply...a realist.

-

The lion.. was a sheep. Not scared though.. but was kind and innocent towards the things he did. He treated the wound soundly and tied it up.. just a bit tight to keep from everything else getting in to it. "The wrong.. will always be there. But if you keep looking to darkness... you will only see darkness. If you try to look at the brighter side.. it will give you hope for something ahead of the cave. Don't you think?" He questioned. "I lived.. day by day.. when a friend died.. I slowly bowed and mourned.. though I then tossed myself back in to the ocean and surfed and had fun on his behave. the light. From darkness."

-

He wouldn't admit it, but his paw felt a little better being tied up, though he had hid a wince when the salty material first came in contact with it. “You are quite clever, Tsukouru,” he remarked lightly and eyed the other male. He hadn't thought that he would be quite so in depth. He looked simple and Nav'hian had expected him to be average in intellect, but he seemed to be proving him wrong. “Perhaps...it is not a hopeless thought...to focus on the lgiht instead of the dark.” He said slowly. He couldn't gaurantee he wouldn't fall back into his old habit of doubting everything, but perhaps it was worth trying, just one more time.

-

Tsu chuckled. "Yes. You can call me Tsu by the way.. but I was told clever only by my surf buddy.... I miss him sometimes. He was way bigger than me too even if he was younger." He laughed a bit as he looked to the half done fish... then back at the lion. It was at least a light for him to hear those words out of the mouth of his now 'friend'.
But I think of it everytime.. that if i stay dwelling things will get worse.. and plus. if I hadn't moved on.. I wouldn't have treated the wound. Then you would have likely got an infection." He tried to make it seem less hurtful to talk of his friend.

-

Nav'hian tested his paw, surprised when it was not hurting much anymore, the seaweed actually helping. He glanced at the other male, hearing the hurt in his voice as he spoke of his friend and felt sympathy. He had few friends as a cub, and he had not seemed them in years now, so he knew how loss felt. “I thank you for treating the wound,” he said, helping him to change the topic, off the hurtful idea of his old friend. “It is appreciated. I have never heard of seaweed as a treatment, but I will keep it in mind now.” He glanced at the horizon, knowing he should be moving on, while the sun was still out and he could find a place for the night without worrying.

-

Tsu smiled and warmly nodded. "You are a million times welcome.. " He followed the male's gaze... and nodded. Knowing that it felt as though the spirits wanted him to move on .. that the male should move on. Tsu had other things he must do here. "I Seaweed contains many healing properties. The salt to cure the wound and as its own covering from infection.. It does't help with jellyfish stings~ It makes it worse!~" Lifting his paws to show the damaging scars. "It seems though that are run in has come to its end.. I bid you luck... and fortitude on your journies.. And the bad luck you seem to have... please remember my words." He said softly as he went in to a laying position.. "My business here in this place is not finished.. But the winds seem to tell me yours has.. I hope to one day have our paths meet again. Maybe more next time.. when there is a wide ocean to jump in." A smile.. from one eye to the next rose..

-

Nav'hian tested his paw, putting weight on it, as he listened to the other male speak. He watched as he laid back down and knew it was time for him to leave. “Thank you again, and I wish you all the best.” This visit had been pleasant, more pleasant then most had been when it came to him. “I hope your business is pleasant,” he told him, bowing his head and returned the smile slightly. Nav'hian was not an easily sociable male, but it seemed this other lion was just easy to get along with. He turned has back on the other male, and continued his walk. His limp was less obvious now, and the pain was fading. His pace was easier now, his talk with the other lion resounding in his head as he left.
