(this is a rp for anyone that is in the sky clan - think of it as a meet and greet with the new members of the clan. this is during the festival, though not an official thing - think of it as happening inbetween the ceremonies)

It had been a tense yet exhilarating day, the hum and throb of so many bodies still hummed through him. The sheer magnitude of what had happened, of the very fundamental way in which their lives had now changed, still reverberated through his thoughts.
This was home now...
Glancing down at his mate as she padded along at his side he felt a smile warm his expression. She would be safe here... protected and able to recover from the horrendous experiences of the recent weeks. Lifting his head he gazed round, taking in the landscape that was now theirs as he gently brushed his shoulder against Aaliyah's, a silent touch that reassured both of them, and something done as naturally as breathing.

 Aaliyah looked up at the soft brush to her shoulder, a tender smile crossing her delicate muzzle as her violet eyes met the one sunset amber of her mate. So much had been lost for them, and now so much gained. The lioness lifted her head to look at the others who were now a part of their Pride, their new Pride.
Sorrow touched her for the one lost forever.
Closing her rich, jeweled eyes, she said a prayer to their Forefathers to take them back into the fold, and then let them all go. The pain was like a claw to her heart, but it had to be. Kenan and her were now Sky Clan, now Ela'wadiyi and they would serve and become a part of this Pride as they had the other.
She leaned into her mate, a silent sob escaping her, wondering if he could still feel her spirit, and if he knew what she had done.

He felt her pain ripple over him like it was his own, the sensation of their connection so familiar that he instantly stopped, turning to arch his muscular neck over his mate's own, gently pulling her in against his chest, the solid warmth of his body offered as support and comfort.
"It needed to be done.." He whispered tenderly, his own voice touched with the sorrow of what they had lost. Gently nuzzling the soft fur of her cheek as he held her close, breath warm against her fur as he gently murmured reassurances.

" I know beloved, " she whispered to him softly, leaning into the strength of her mate, " this is home now. A home you found, a place to rest and become a part of something." Aaliyah turned her neck, nuzzling into his ruff, " I am happy for this chance, and for still having you by my side."
The lioness looked up at him, violet eyes glittering, " I am not a Shaman now, now I am just Aaliyah, and you are just Kenan. We can live for ourselves." She lowered her eyes, a blush coming over her muzzle, " We could have a family...if...if you wanted."

His one remaining eye sparkled at her words and he bent, lightly touching his nose to her own tenderly. "That we could.... " A perfectly amused smile curled across his muzzle as he watched her blush prettily. He forgot how young they both were still.. so much of their lives had been planned out, so many responsibilities placed on his Aaliyah's shoulders that it felt as if they had lived many years longer than was the truth.
Licking her muzzle gently his smile softened. "It would be my greatest honor, darling."

The once shaman blushed as he licked her, a light dusting of color playing across her muzzle. Kenan still made her stomach have butterflies in it. There was something about him, past what had grown between them due to the arrangement of their mating.
Sometimes she wondered if he would have given her a second look if they hadn't been sworn to each other. He was handsome, and strong, and a very, very good warrior. He could fit into this Pride with little work, but she...what did she really have to offer them?
"We...we don't have to...I mean..not right away." She stammered, " We should wait." The lioness said with a firm tone, a tone her mate knew all to well.

The tone of her voice brought a rich warm chuckle from the male, his single eye dancing with laughter. There was the Aaliyah he knew so well! Grinning at her he nuzzled her ear playfully, tail flicking lightly against her rump. "Mmm.. why not? I rather like the idea of you heavy with our cubs. I have waited for so long, surely you wont make me wait much longer?" His tone was warm and gently teasing, his gaze filled with love as he smiled with playful tenderness at her.
He spoke the truth, he would have been overjoyed to start a family with her. She was so beautiful with such a pure spirit he still woke up every morning fearing it was all just some very elaborate dream and that she didn't exist, or was with someone else, someone far more suited to her noble blood and wisewoman ancestry.

Aaliyah felt her blush turn darker as heat rushed to her cheeks, and she stammered out a reply, " You've...you've wanted cubs?" Her tone of voice showing she was truly shocked he'd even considered it before this moment.
" I..I mean..the way you...we've always...really? You've wanted cubs?" The once time shaman lowered her violet eyes, the embarrassment of his words causing her to become the awkward half grown cub he'd first meet not so long ago, though it seemed like a lifetime now.
Aaliyah had always been very secure in her skill as a shaman, in her ability to travel the spirit paths of her gods,she'd been trained since before she was born, but when it had come to just being Aaliyah, she was abysmal at it.

The tone of her voice brought a rich warm chuckle from the male, his single Kenan felt his heart melt anew at her surprised and adorably shy reaction. He had always known the lioness had another side to her, one that was not the confident, self assured shaman, and was privileged enough to see it when they were alone together but moments like this where she revealed her true self in daylight were rare and so very precious to him. He just couldn;t understand why she doubted herself so much. She was beautiful, sexy, delicate, lovely and the most kind and generous creature he had ever met.
What lion could resist all that? Certainly not he.
Smiling tenderly he let the love he felt for her shine in his gaze. "Of course... is that not every male's greatest wish? To share the most precious gift of life with the one he loves?"

Aaliyah ducked her head and hid against his shoulder, sure that the blush that had crept across her nose now was to her ears. She mumbled something indistinct and leaned closer into him, breathing in his scent, pulling the comfort of his solid presence around her.
Handsome, strong, loyal, intelligent...kind and gentle...she smiled softly, her mentor had always told her that the terrible price the dream-walkers paid in physical strain was gifted to them somewhere else.
She'd never had to wonder where that gift had been...it had always been here, in Kenan.
Lifting her chin to gaze into his good eye, she smiled, and repeated what she had muttered, " I love you Kenan."

The way she nuzzled against him always made his heart melt, he was completely helpless against her when she did and knew he would go through everything, the capture, the pain, loosing his eye and his pride, if it would keep her safe. Lowering his head he let his good eye close, enjoying the warm press of her body against his, it reassured him, gave him the strength to continue on.
feeling her move against him he opened his eye and smiled gently. This time it was he who felt his cheeks warm under his fur. Leaning down he touched his nose to hers gently.
"I love you too Aaliyah."
