( Enoh Love = Omolara || Doodle p***s = Malvado Sevmek )
She wasn't sure where she was, but she'd been wandering on her own for sometime now, she wasnt a young lioness, but by any means she wasn't old either and the world seemed to still be a shimmering gem to her, with only a few scars to scratch up the surface of it.
She had a smile on her face as she continued forward, even though her paws were screaming for a rest, but the heavy scents of others continued to drive her forward, it'd been so long since she'd spoken to another creature that she was starving for the company.
The Lioness was on the hunt. Well, it wasn't a real hunt. She wasn't hungry. But it was more like a game. With her son nearly an adult, she occasionally played like this by herself, trying to keep some semblance of the past with her. Today, some poor little rabbit was running for it's life, with a mildly chuckling Lioness at it's haunches. The line of tall grass suddenly ended and Omolara found herself racing towards what appeared to be another Lioness; her chuckle turned into a cry of surprise, and she tried to put on the brakes. "Look out!"
Eyes widened as Sev did her best to get out of the sudden appearing lioness's way, she let out a faint squeal as she did her best to flee the line of danger.
But, she wasnt as lucky, and couldnt help but let out a laugh as she and the other unknown lioness crashed together, she had to see the rainbow in everything, to many seemed to only understand the gray clouds that loom over things.
Unable to avoid it, the barreled into the paler female; if there was anything that could put a stop to her, this was it! With a bit of a roll the dust started to settle, and she realized that she...was laughing? Well, there went her heartfelt apology! Within seconds she was laughing as well, her dark eyes closed happily, and once she could she crawled onto her paws, shaking her fur of dust and grass bits. "Well, that was fun!" Aww, but damn the rabbit got away! "Sorry, I got caught up. I'm Omolara!"
Sev rose to her paws, shaking out her own fur before she laughed and grinned at the other lioness, "Ah well..seems luck was on the rabbits side today." She flicked her tail, making sure it didnt have a kink in it, she used her tail like it was another paw, it was something she also used to express herself.
"Malvado Sevmek...But please, for the sake of sanity just call me Sev." She knew her given name was more than a mouthful, it was a whole meal!
"Pretty name, but wow. What a mouthful!" There she was, worrying that Ur'ahava was a long name... "Sev it is." She agreed with a small giggle, peering around the pretty pelted one to see if the rabbit was anywhere nearby. It wasn't, of course. It was long gone, much too happy to be rid of the two-toned female. "Yeeeah, seems that way. Poor thing, I was just playing." She said innocently, stretching her paws in front of her as far as they could go. "What brings you to this part of the lands?"
"Life." She said simply, she hadnt even found a reason to stay in one place before, she wasnt sure one place was right for her, she loved to travel and have a taste of it all. "Traveling seems to be my calling for now." She said with a nod of her head, "The rabbit is most likely telling its family how it outsmarted a lion." She grinned with a shake of her head.
"Ah, makes sense; I know how that is." She nodded, tilting her head once she was standing straight once more, looking her new friend over. "When I was your age, I had to travel to make sure my son could survive and be safe. I'm glad you seem to be doing it for fun; the world can be a great place." Sadly, she realized this only once she joined the Pride. Her life before had been full of fear and uncertainty; poor Ur. The image of the rabbit tittering to it's family made her giggle, and she shrugged. "It'll be the Hero of Rabbits! King Rabbit. He should be proud of himself!"
Sev giggled, "Well, he lived to tell the tale today." She frowned slightly, "well, I hope your life has greatly improved since then..and that you and your son can enjoy life once more." She knew her life was carefree and untied to anything, and anyone, and she wasnt sure if she'd ever been tied to another soul, if anyone could handle her for that long, but she didnt think about it overly much.
"I actually hope his luck keeps up!" Omolara chirped out thoughtfully, leaning down to paw at her face. Ugh, dust in her eye! "Actually, it has. I found us a Pride, and he is growing into a very handsome Lion." Now she straightened up proudly, albeit a bit sadly; she missed those times when he could fit under her ribcage and attacked her from under her own body. "The Bahari'Mtoto." She clarified, turning her head a bit and nodding in the direction of her Pride's lands. The direction where the scent of the ocean seemed to come from. "We couldn't be happier." Nodding in confirmation, she leaned her head to the other side, looking thoughtful. "Out of Curiousity; do you like swimming?"
"They always grow up quicker than we want.." Sev had once been a mother to a very small litter of cubs, only two but in the end she hadn't been enough to keep them alive, and they had both died shortly after they were born, she'd slipped into a deep depression after that, and had sworn never to love another thing as she'd loved them. She smiled at Omolara, "Well, a pride can certain make one feel safe again and that, right there is a joy in life." She nodded her head before a wicked grin crossed her features. "Unlike some, I do indeed."
"So true." Omolara also lost some of the cubs in her litter; Ur'ahava was the only one to survive. She was thankful for him, but was a little lost now that he could fend for himself. She nodded about the Pride making them feel right and joyful; it was true. But when that wicked grin crossed Sev's features, she knew she had a winner. "Well then....race you to the ocean?" She challenged before taking off; while she was headed towards the pride, she was actually headed for a spot of beach that was still part of the Rogue Lands, so Sev could play with her.
With a squeal of laughter, Sev was off racing after her new friend, she was happy to have traveled this way, specially since it had lead her to such wonderful company.
Sev had never been to the ocean before, and upon seeing the vast greatness of it, she skidded to a hault for a moment and simply stared in awe and wonder of it all.
Omolara's paws were already loudly splashing in the water when she realized...there wasn't another set of splashes! Skidding to a halt (this time easier thanks to the water), she stood there, the water lightly lapping against her chest, and looked over her shoulder at Sev. "Hey...are you alright?" She asked in a worried tone, her eyes a bit wide in surprise; the other Lioness had been on her heels up until now! Was she okay?
She nodded her head, "Yeah..I'd just never seen the ocean until now." She said before she raced down the beach, jumping happily into the water with a laugh and a loud splash, as she pawed playfully at dropletes of water everywhere in the air.
"Oh! It's beautiful, isn't it? Tastes bad though, try not to get any in your mouth!" Omolara warned with a laugh, recalling how her son learned it by accident. It was horrendously funny! With a bit of a shrieking laugh she closed her eyes and turned her head from the splashing Lioness. "Welcome to the Ocean!" She chuckled, pouncing through the water to obnoxiously splash around her new friend.
It seemed, the moment she was warned about the taste, it got in her mouth, her eyes widened as her nose scrunched and her tongue instantly fell out of her mouth with a gag like sound.
She went to go wipe her tongue off with her paws, only to find them soaked in the water and her eyes going even wider as she flailed around for a moment before the taste disappeared.
