 Aureo looked up at the sun. His stomach growled angrily. How long had it been since he had food? More importantly when was the last time he had that delicious fermented fruit. He let out a loud sigh. This was the reason he never strayed too far from familiar territory. He had no idea about where the prey grazed and where the fruit trees grew.
If only there was someone around that could help him, he thought as the sun burned hotter into his coat. After a couple more steps, he decided to collapse to the ground. The dirt cooled him off, which he enjoyed greatly. "Darn it! Where the heck can a lion get a meal around here!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. He rolled around in the dirt, hoping it would help him cool off. More than anything, he hated when he lost his temper.
After rolling around, his coat and temper were both cooled down quite a bit. He decided his next source of action should be just lay there and stare at the cloud. Perhaps his meal would come to him if he laid there long enough. He laughed at the idea as he watched the clouds soar across the sky.

 Demyan ventured through the rougelands, looking for nothing in particular. If there was one thing he had learned from living here was that it was best to keep moving. If you stayed in one place to long, you start to attract notice. Demyan really prefered to keep away from others, he was a strong male but didn't have the lust to prove himself like most of his species.
He reached a small hill that overlooked a mixture of grasslands and dirt, the area was dry from the lack of water the past season. Not exactly the best place to be if you were trying to do anything to survive in this area. No water and no prey, not even one measly passion fruit vine. Yet there about 200ft away was a lion, laying down looking up at the clouds. Suddenly the lion roared in frustration and what Demyan could only assume was hunger.
"Eh... Should I help him.... he looks helpless. What if hes just looking for a fight..." Demyan spoke to the wind, to any god willing to listen. Suddenly a cool breeze picked up and blew his mane, leaves and debry washing down the hill twoard the other male. "Okay okay, I get it. I gotta help him. I sure hope youre right. Whoever you are." he spoke twoards the cloud. He made his way down the hill quietly before reaching the lion. He gotten within speaking range but hung back in case he wanted a fight.
"Hello, what are you doing?" Demyan asked the male.

Aureo could swear he saw a cloud shaped as a giant bird. If the bird was real it would fill his stomach four times over. His stomach growled even louder, as if to tell him to hurry up and find a meal. He did his best to ignore it. The cloud was far more interesting than food. He sighed. At this point he knew pretty much nothing would be more interesting than food.
When he heard the voice, he did not bother to look around to see who was speaking. Instead he looked at his stomach. "Either I am crazy or my stomach can talk..." He stared at his stomach for a moment. Than rolled over, hoping this would cause his stomach to stop talking. When he rolled over he noticed a lion. Immediately he jumped up and faced the lion.
"Hello." He said bowing his head to the other lion. He spoke rather quickly. It had been some time since he had seen another creature. "And I am-"
His stomach answered for him. It growled loudly. "I am looking for food..." He stared at his stomach as he said this. "By chance have you seen any food brother?"

Demyan, normally very stoic as lions come couldn't help but laugh when the other lion’s stomach answered for him. Once he was done chuckling he looked back at the hungry guy. "Well seems like your stomach has a mind of its own, let me show you were to get some chow around here." he motioned for the lion to follow him.
"You were laying in a savannah known for droughts so there isn't much in the way of food. I'll take you to the valley and we can get some hunting in. What are you hungry for? I'm partial to zebra myself." Demyan chatted to the other lion as they picked their way across the countryside.
As he talked he studied the other male he was very bright, with his reds and yellows, pretty intimidating as far as color schemes go. Demyan found his coloring slightly lacking next to the bright male. Though his dark coloring defiantly helped him while night hunting which by the look of the sun, might be just what they were going to end up doing.

"Thanks brother, it has felt like ages since I last had something to eat. I decided to go on an adventure and it seems I wandered too far." Aureo said as he walked next to the other lion. "Zebra would be amazing. Is there, by chance, some fruit in the valley? I have a bit of a sweet tooth for fruit." This was of course an understatement. If Aureo could he would eat only fruit. He grinned at the thought of fruit, melting in his mouth. His mouth watered at the thought.
"My name is Aureo by the way. I do not think we have meet." Aureo hardly ever forgot a face, unless he was drunk. As they walked, he noticed that there was a lack of other creatures. This made him wonder what the other lion was doing so far from food and water. "So what are you doing this far in a lifeless savannah? You aren't like an outcast or anything right? I would hate to get in trouble with the locals by hanging around you." He said jokingly. He could careless if his savior was a outcast or king of a pride. Titles disgusted him. Things were much more simpler if no one had titles.

"I think there are some passion fruit vines as we enter the valley. We'll stop and let you have some, I only like em when they are a bit over ripe so I might pass unless there are a couple fermented ones." Diallo continued down the path to the valley.
"Nice to meet you Aureo, I am Demyan. I doubt we've met before, Im a pretty secluded fellow. I prefer to stay out of conflict, so I avoid prides and hotshots in the rougelands. I almost ignored you but you looked like you needed help." Demyan laughed as he listen to Aureo's stomach growl in agreement.
"Nah, Im just a humble rouge, I actually do rounds essentially. I look for lost cubs and pups. Usually I get them healthy again and take them back to thier parents. I've always had a soft spot for cubs and pups. A lot of little adventures end up in that savannah so I check it everyday." Demyan told the brightly colored lion honestly.

"Excellent. Fruit always cheers my day up. I haven't found a fruit I didn't like, though I have to be careful. One time I ate one that was a bit old. It caused me to have hallucinations." Aureo said with a laugh. He had a tendency to eat any fruit he saw, which probably wasn't the healthiest thing he could do.
"I am glad you decided to help me. I would have been stranded there, yelling at my stomach if you didn't come along." He could imagine himself, staring up at the clouds, yelling at his stomach, dying of starvation. What a horribly funny way to die, he thought. If he were to go that would be the way to do it.
"I always end up in trouble. Mind you I normally start the trouble. I have a tendency to get into little fights, little fights of course. I hate taking anything too seriously, especially fights." It had been so long since he had a good fight. He hoped it would change as he traveled around some more. It was always fun to show off in front of others as well as improve his skills.
"You are a really swell guy you know that? I would get so bored of helping others. It is so dull, no action and no adventure. I am sure I would go crazy doing something like that." He said trying to picture himself helping out. Once he tried helping his old friend Sendatu heal a couple patients. He was sure that because of him they became sicker.

"As a young lion I used to look for fruit like you were talking about, the older fermented ones. I liked the hallucinations and the fuzzy feeling they gave me. Mind you I was a young reckless rouge at the time and traveled with a band of well young lions crazier then I was at that age. Bad crowd really." Demyan told Aureo as he thought of those reckless carefree days.
"Yes I believe I came right in the nick of time" Demyan laughed heartily, his thick deep voice carrying over the ground. "I wasn't always so kind to strangers, it took me finding a cub stranded and alone half dead for me to soften my heart to the world. Thats why I do rounds now, I like helping."
As Aureo talked about the small tussles he tended to get into Demyan looked him over, he didnt have any major scaring so he must be stronger then the others he comes across. "You probably intimidate other males, your coat is very bright. Like the Sun and the color of blood, it probably makes other males jealous that you have such masculine coloring. See they hadly notice me, I blend in." Demyan laughed as he gestured to his pelt.

"Your old gang you hung with sound like they were a good laugh. I am looking for some good friends who like to have a good time." He hoped that he would find a pride or a gang to travel with. As much as he liked to travel, he liked the company of others more.
Aureo loved his colors. He hadn't met another creature with his bright colors before. As Demyan talked about his colors Aureo felt flattered. "My father had yellow coat and my mom a bright red coat. I am the perfect mix between them." He said laughing at the fact. Of course personality wise he was as different from both of them as you could get. "The coat makes it a pain to go hunting though. It makes it difficult to sneak up on prey."
He looked at Demyans coat and he had to agree with Demyan. It wouldn't be too difficult to blend in. "I think blending in is a good thing. Makes hunting so much easier. Sometimes I wish I could have a more earthy color on me."
