Raja sat in the shady grasses, tangled vines hanging loosely from his mouth. He was help with a project for on of the pride members and a few vines was the last thing on the list that she needed. Raja was a bit releaved as he had been gather things for hours and he really had not idea why, but he did not question it.
Standing he trotted onward once more in search of another slightly longer vine, not knowing which would be most satisfactory to the female and not wanting to be on the recieving end of a ornary female's rant.
Tsun was on the hunt, he was looking for his father he had something to discuss with him. Tsun was a little worried he wasn't sure what to say to his father or how it would go over, he liked to think that his father was very understanding, he had after all been out in the rouge lands. Tsun wanted to know more, he wanted to see where his mother had been from, he had no thought in his head of finding his mother thats not what he wanted her just wanted to know mroe about what was out there. Just to see.
As Tsun came through the trees he saw his father, vines hanging from his mouth. Tsun couldn't help buit giggle at the image, it was rather amussing in nature.
Raja smiled when he saw his son come through the tree and instantly went to say hello. This of course caused the vine to tumble out of his mouth hitting the ground with a small plop. He looked down at the ground and then back up at his son, before laughing at the fact he had forgotten about the vine.
"Hello Tsun, I see you" he managed through his fit of laughter, while trying to calm himself.
Raja sat on the ground, allowing his laughter to subside it and with it the sudden hilarity of the moment. He looked to his son smiling brightly, feeling extremely happy to be home. "What has you wandering about my son?"
"I was wondering in search of you." Tsun said lightly. He moved forward to pick up the vines his father had dropped he swung them over Raja's shoulders making it so the lion would be able to carry them easier. "There you go." he said smiling.
"I have something to take to you about father." The lion shuffled his feet more, a little worried, what if father was upset with what he had to say... Tsun couldn't picture his father angery in anyway but he didn't want to hurt his father's feeling either.
Raja grinned at his son as he helped in with his small vine problem. Carrying in the manner was difficult for him to achieve without help, but far easier than a mouth full of nasty green vines, once he had help.
"Thank you Tsun, I would have done that, but the vines simply would not swing properly."
Raja sat and looked at his shuffling son, the question he'd asked ringing in his ears. He sorely hoped Tsun was not in any sort of trouble. Nervous shuffling ususally denoted trouble.
"Its okay Tsun, you know you can tell me anything," he said hoping dearly that his son wasn't going to tell him he'd accidentally made his a grandparent.
"I..... I .... I want to explore." Tsun stumbled out. He knew that he need to better explain what he meant but it was very difficult to get the words out at all. "I want to see what is out there, where the other part of me came from." Tsun rambolled slightly trying to get all his feelings out. He was pretty sure that his father would understand.
"I want to know more about the rouge lands that my Mother came from, and where you travelled for so long. I know that my hart belongs to the jungle and that this will always be my home but part of me feels that it needs to see the outside." He paused and looked up at his father wondering what Raja's ideas about all of this were.
Raja gave his son a surprised look, truly shocked that the nervous shuffle had been for such a simple reason. Raja could not help, but to smile at his son's explanation and nervousness.
He rose and quickly nuzzled his fully grown son. "I would hardly deny you that right. Truthfully I expected more curiosity from you all as we traveled the lands to come here when you we still very young."
Raja sat back once more smiling brightly at his son.
Tsun smiled he relaxed immediately it was silly of him to think that there was something he couldn't talk to his father about. After all his father was his everything the one who had care for him. Tsun settled into a seated position. It was always nice to chat with his father.
"Well I suppose my curiosity as grown as I have. I don't remember much of when we travelled the lands before. And now that I am older and wouldn't be a burden to someone while I travel I am interested in knowing more. I don't want to be gone long though, I know the responsible thing for me to do is to come back here and start a family and care for the pride. But before I am ready for that I jsut want to know more." He smiled he felt good talking about his wants.
Raja listened to his son's explanation, a feeling of extreme pride growing in his chest as he realized just how much his son had truly grown.
"You are very wise Tsun and you make more proud with the day you walks these lands."
Raja looked to the sky and silently thanked Eywa for his fortune.
"My son, you have my blessing to go. I will happily await you return. If you happen upon a green lioness the looks much the same as I send her this way."
Raja grinned wondering what adventures Tsun might have.
Tsun nodded "I am glad I have your blessing, I wouldn't have been able to do it without it, I wouldn't have done it without it." he smiled rising to his feet. "I primis you not to be gone long father, I will miss you greatly. I will look for my aunt while I am out I do hope that I can send her your way." Tsun came forward and nuzzled his father in thanks before turning and making his depature.
