 Aaliyah was bone tired. She couldn't remember the last time she'd used half the muscles that were complaining so loudly with every step. Seriously, she'd hunted last...before the marathon of now, when she was less than a year old?
Gods above, but antelope ran fast, and water buffalo were just mean. She and a pawful of the other huntresses had been chased off a wounded calf for more than half a mile this morning, she'd never had to run from prey before, but when it was a half a dozen pissed of water buffalo cows that were on your hind end, you suddenly found you had cheetah in your ancestory.
Sighing, she dragged her sorry hind end into her den and wondered if she could sleep for a week without anyone noticing?

Not that long after Aaliyah had curled up, Kenan's head appeared in the entrance to their den. He had been needed to escort the last of the lionesses back to their own homes, not because they might be attacked, but because a coupe of them were rather shaken up form the rather stressful hunt and, being who and what he was, he couldn't very well leave them like that. So, once they had been safely delivered into their respective mate's paws, the guard had turned tail and made a beeline for his own den.
Smiling gently at the sight of his exhausted love, the large male slipped into the cool shadows and padded quietly to their nest of dried grass and tree fronds. Stretching out against her back, his solid bulk between her and the entrance, the guard sighed in contentment and settled his chin on his paws.
He had had a slightly better time than Aaliyah, used to covering long distances each day and having done much of the hunting while they had been alone in the roguelands, he had found the run little more than hard exercise. Of course there had been fear for the huntresses safety, but he had been close enough to get between them and the preybeasts if it had been necessary. As it was, the females had been fine, just exhausted when they had finally turned for home, though his poor Aaliyah had been the worst off, her last pride had not trained her for hunting and it showed.
Smiling faintly in the gloom of their den he shifted a little closer to her, lifting his paw to rest it over his back and nuzzled her ear tenderly. She would get used to it, she was fit and healthy now she wasn't on the run.. it would just take a little time, and he would be with her every step of the way.

The lioness didn't even bother to open her eyes as Kenan settled down beside her, though she did snuggle into him, a sigh leaving her as she did. " You could have told me that hunting would hurt." She grumbled, stretching out a back leg and then wincing as another before undiscovered muscle let he know it was there and NOT happy with her.
Aaliyah groaned and rolled back over away from him, taking the strain off of it and opened her sleep heavy eyes to peer at it as if the limb had affronted her somehow. Oww, oww, owww...she thought peevishly and wondered how in the heavens anyone did this day in and day out.
The earth colored lioness was smaller than the others, more frail in body and in conditioning because of the ravages of the draught that the dream-walkers used to reach the spirit paths of her and Kenan's once Pride. In time, without the constant demand on her body to walk the paths, she would gain some bulk and stamina...but for now...she was pooped.

Kenan lifted his paw as she rolled away, holding in his grin of amusement even as he puffed with displeasure at her removal of her warmth from his side. He knew it was hard for her, but ultimately she would be healthier for the exercise, and if there was a silver lining in their new life, it was that she would not have to risk her physical self any more to walk the spirit paths.
Chuckling softly he moved onto his belly, watching her as she squirmed about on their bedding. "Well. it doesn't hurt for me.." He replied in a low, sultry and really rather cheeky tone." Dropping his gaze to her hind limb, he considered a moment then with on paw pressed to her body to keep her still, he set his other on her muscle and began to massage it slowly. It would hurt a little as he manipulated the tense area, hence his holding e still, but afterwards she would be in far less discomfort.

She growled a warning as he leaned on her, not sure of what he was doing. When his paw touched the tender area she actually showed teeth.
" I don't care if it is not hurting you, it is me..." she snapped, trying to pull away from him, until his paw found a particular sore spot and somehow made it feel better despite the fact he was hurting her to do it.
Her frowned deepened, and violet eyes narrowed, " You my love, are keeping secrets. Not nice." She grumped at him, feeling all out of sorts and wanting to sleep, but really aching all over so much she wasn't sure she would be able too.

Kenan ignored her warning, knowing she would never hurt him. He trusted her totally and knew she did him, so he continued with his ministrations, only grunting distractedly at her growled words. Feeling the muscle he had been working on suddenly loosen, he grinned and looked up at her, pads smoothing the amused flesh tenderly to ease the pain he had caused.
"Only because I am used to it, Aaliyah." He chuckles softly once again. Strength, and by necessity hunting, had always bean his forte, he did not expect her to do this alone, he would be with her every step of the way. "Secrets?" His tone was genuinely puzzled as he moved onto the next muscle, carefully manipulating it with his pads, claws well sheathed and safely out the way.

She waved her paw at what he was doing, " Secrets, of being a hunter. You have got to teach me how to do this if I am going to end up chasing four hooved animals all over the savanna. Ooooo, right there..." She purred at him as he found a really bad knot.
" You beloved, have magic paws. I think I will have to keep you for a little while...at least until I get my hunting legs." Aaliyah teased him, feeling a little bit better with each spot he managed to work free.

Kenan chuckled warmly, a sly grin curling his maw. "Oh.. this is not a hunter's skill, lover. It is just something I picked up along the way." Chuckling as she all but melted under his paws, h concentrated on easing her stiff muscles, slowly working up one leg to her back then carefully nudging her to roll over and starting on the other leg.
Arching a brow at her comment he dipped his head and playfully bit very gently at her paw pad. "is that so? I'll have you know I'm not that easy to get rid of." he purred back, his one eye slitted with amusement and a smirk curling across his lips.

Aalyiah gifted him with a playful giggle as she obliged him and gladly let him get a hold of her other leg, the n** at her paw making her blush. Somehow, no matter how long they'd been together, he always managed to make her feel like a untried cub when it came to the easy by-play that happened between mates.
" Oh....really?" She purred at him, " and just pray tell HOW did you pick up this skill? Hummmmm? I thought you were mine from the moment you were born?" The once shaman put what she hoped was a sultry edge to her questioning. She'd never been very good at this kind of flirting, but damn if she didn't give it a good try.

Pleased with her reaction he obligingly settled down to soothing her soreness once again, though his golden eye remained on her expression, his own amused and darkly playful. He loved when she blushed and squirmed, and he loved finding out what made her do so.
Her sultry purr stirred him, making his smile darken slightly. "Well now.. that would be telling wouldn't it.." He returned, positively smirking now. he certainly couldn't tell her it was his mother who had taught him such skills, that was hardly conducive to the current mood and he was highly unwilling to change their conversation. "But you are right, I have always been yours.. body..." he paused and leaned down, tongue smoothing over her silky fur lazily."..mind..." Sliding higher up he rubbed his cheek against her's, muzzle delving into the warm fur of her throat. "... and soul...." His chest pressed her into the bedding as he turned his head, licking her muzzle warmly.

She purred the sound throaty as she turned into him, pleased that he was hers, or was that she was his...or something like that. Her thoughts had suddenly taken leave of her brain, and she felt that blush creeping up again across her muzzle.
" Good thing you are...because I don't think I could live without you...Kenan." She whispered to him, pressing against him, deciding that thinking wasn't going to be necessary very, very shortly.

His warm, gentle laugh feathered through the shadows. "I know I cold never live without you, my Aaliyah...." His deep, sensual voice glided through the darkness as he dipped, intending on showing her just how much she meant to him.
