The day was beautiful. Even though it had started off as nothing really special, just an average day escorting a visitor back to the border. But it was because of who he had stumbled into on his way back towards the pride that Raiquen had a light heart. Ili’ella. The lovely goddess who he had met before was back and walking with him. Normally he was already happy about guiding rogues through his home pride and to each of the shrines, but with her it felt more like a privilege. He made sure to point out everything and anything he could think of. Little comments on the land marks he used and how differently everything looked once the shifters and others had started working on the shrines. To him this land was the most beautiful, far more than the rogue lands that he had traveled before. Honestly it was easier for him to speak normally to her if he focused more on the pride rather than his own beating his heart. Her mother had stirred some hidden thoughts that even he was starting to wonder about. Slowly though - he could be rather dense about his own feelings.

But even though he was pointing out landmarks and such he missed the important one.

Raiquen walked right past the one tree which would have marked the turn for the shrine of the seasons where his friend was a keeper. Instead he kept walking towards a more familiar place where a certain female keeper was. If he had paid more attention to the trails and less to his companion the lion would have immediately shied away. Not that he hated the keeper who rest up ahead, but rather feared what meeting her with Ili’ella would lead to. Rakasta was a very bold lioness after all who didn’t hesitate to speak her mind or ask questions. Lots of questions and suggestions, very suggestive suggestions. But that was who she was and it made her perfect for being the keeper of this particular shrine.

That is the shrine dedicated to pleasure.

Ili'ella had an almost constant smile upon her face as she watched Raiquen. If she was to be honest, she spent most of her time watching him and only glancing at the things he pointed out to her. His passion for his land and his job was a beautiful sight, she realised fondly. She had never seen someone so...content with one place to live, though Lari herself had settled. Ili'ella had to admit, the land was quite beautiful.

She glanced around them as they walked. She was so used to the rogue lands, and shying away from pridal grounds, being able to walk freely through was a wonderful adventure.

It was even better without her mother tagging along. Lari was such a hassle at times, but Ili'ella did love her mother. She just wished she wasn't such a flirt. Though, it usually didn't bother her quite as much as it had when Lari had been flirting with Raiquen. He had seemed unconcerned by Lari's flirtatious advances - though she knew that her mother wouldn't betray her own mate like that. Ili'ella had never met Rai, but she knew Lari was quite fond of the male, considering she had settled in a pride for him. Still, the flirting had bothered her.

Thankfully, with Lari now gone, she didn't have to worry about people being too flirtatious. It would just be herself and him, and the shrine keeper he was taking her to meet. She smiled at him, and continued to follow along, happily.

The day was boring.

For the past few weeks Rakasta had been swamped with the daily chores of preparing her shrine for the patrons to visit, but once the newness wore away and she was left on her own to tend the shrine things became...stale. For a while, she had taken real pleasure in donning the stones with fragrant flowers and enchanting artwork that reflected the layout of the land. As it stood, her shrine resided on a small wooded cliff that seemed as if it floated upon the water it looked out over. Already she had received many visiters, each of which she had welcomed with a loving embrace, but once they left, she found herself seeking solace of her own.

That being the company of a certain lion who hadn't bothered to visit her today. Rakasta pouted, shifting the dirt at her paws to make a makeshift path to the shrine. It wasn't like she liked him or anything, but she couldn't deny that his company was pleasurable. A pretty face with a tender heart helped to pass the time...when he was around to do it! The dark lioness huffed, and threw her head back with a moan.

And it was in that position that she spotted them. Her missiong Guide with a lovely little piece walking beside of him. Rakasta shivered with glee. Were they...? Yes! They were coming to visit her! Not that either of them seemed to notice. It was hard to miss the way they couldn't keep their eyes off one another.

Rakasta straightened herself, and sauntered up to the shrine, making herself look busy until they came closer. Then she looked up, looking like she hadn't realized they were there, and smiled. "Raiquen, dear, did you bring me a visitor?"

As they walked Raiquen stopped talking as much about the pride and frequently slipped into a quiet walk. It wasn't awkward, but a comfortable silence with the lioness at his side. As she smiled at him he couldn't help smiling back. As it was he was too busy watching Ili'ella to pay much attention to the trail and so the lion totally didn't notice the presence of his fellow pride member until it was too late.

He really needed to pay more attention to the trail.

After hearing Rakasta's greeting Raiquen's gaze instantly slipped away from Ili'ella to stare at the dark lioness. "Rakasta?" He asked blinking in surprise. How? Looking past the keeper the guide noticed the all too familiar shrine. This was no shrine of the seasons. It was far from it. Still he remembered his manners and looking between the two lionesses nodded shyly, "Ili'ella this is Rakasta, a keeper of the pride." Pausing he looked around. He didn't mind this shrine and visited the keeper here often actually, but with Ili'ella here...well he had a bit of worry. "As it is we should get going - I want to show Ili'ella as much of the pride as possible. I really don't want to bother you either Rakasta. So we'll just get moving." He smiled politely, but on the inside he was pleading for the keeper to behave herself.

Ili'ella had not noticed the female until they spoke, and drew to a stop, blinking as she turned her gaze towards her and the shrine she stood by. Oh, it was beautiful, she mused, gazing at the shrine. She could understand why others came to pray or give thanks to deities at them, she decided, and smiled.

Glancing back at the female, she realised that she had called Raiquen 'dear' and it wasn't the affectionate, motherly 'dear' that Lari had called her son years ago.

"A pleasure to meet you, Rakasta," Ili'ella told her, deciding not to cast judgement on the female. Perhaps she was just friendly? Ili'ella shrugged off her own silliness. It wasn't as if she had claim to Raiquen anyway.

Faintly surprised at Raiquen's eagerness to move on, she looked confused. Why did he want to leave when they had just gotten to the shrine? Was this not the one he intended to show her? Or did he simply not want Ili'ella to meet Rakasta for some reason? Unable to resist her question, she decided to ask it before Raiquen led her away. "Oh, well, before we leave, may I ask what shrine do you keep, Rakasta?" She asked, gazing at it with interest. She was so curious over the shrines, she just had to ask since Raiquen hadn't volunteered the information in their introductions.

As soon as Raiquen spoke her name, Rakasta's smile turned Chesire. With her ever present saunter, she slipped down closer to the pair. Her mysterious eyes never left Ili'ella. "No, no, the pleasures all mine." Both figuratively and literally, she noted with amusement. "It's not often that Raiquen brings me visitors as beautiful as you." The lioness clucked her tongue, giving the other a painfully obvious once over. "You look every bit the Goddess, don't you?"

Rakasta gave Raiquen a dirty look. Did he honestly think that after leaving her alone all day that he could get by that easily? Really? Just as quick, she turned back to Ili'ella with a smile. "It's no trouble at all, you know that, sweet heart." She batted her eyelashes his way, resisting the urge to blow him a kiss, but thought it too much.

She stepped back to throw the full attention onto her shrine. "This, my dear, is the ever humble shrine dedicated to the God of Pleasure."

Raiquen sighed under his breath as soon as Ili'ella asked the question. There seemed to be no avoiding it now. His crimson gaze looked over to Rakasta, curious to see what she would do. Her type of action was an obvious answer, but the way about it and exactly what she would do - that was what he wondered about. Still why was he so worried? It wasn't like he didn't like Rakasta and he knew she was a good keeper to her shrine. So what was it that was bothering him? The lion was momentarily distracted from his worries as Rakasta complimented Ili'ella. So she could see his companion's goddess like qualities. It reminded him that Ili'ella wasn't normal and he even still leaned towards believing that she was indeed a goddess. Any god could respect another's domain right? So why worry about this meeting?

Then there came the look.

Oh, Rakasta. Raiquen who normally missed every flirt tossed his way understood that the keeper was messing with him. Then again it was normal for her to call many dear or sweet heart. (Amongst other things - he had been around long enough to realize how active this particular shrine could be) As it was he realized that he was stuck here and that there was no need to even try avoiding this shrine any more. Instead Raiquen turned his gaze towards Ili'ella, curious to see her reaction to the shrine's nature. But first he felt she needed an explanation as to why they were here and not at the other shrine. "We went past the shrine of seasons and I never even realized it until we arrived here. A slight mistake on my part, I apologize." He smiled sheepishly while trying his best to keep the role of being a guide, "But I guess we just stopped here first instead?"

Eyes widening slightly, her cheeks flushing lightly at the compliments the female gave her, Ili'ella was mildly surprised. Surely she was just complimenting her and not flirting, she thought to herself. Not that Ili'ella had any problems with two members of the same gender being together, but she simply hadn't come across a female who would attempt to flirt with her. "Oh, thank you," she said, sounding slightly flustered, "you are quite beautiful too." She gave her a smile.

Surprised to hear what the shrine was for, she blinked. The God of Pleasure? She hadn't even known there was one, but then again, while her parents had taught her to respect the gods, she had never learnt who they were. Glancing at the shrine with a curious expression on her face. "Well, it's a lovely shrine. I'm sure he'd be pleased with it," she murmured to Rakasta, unsure how else to respond. God a Pleasure? Really?

Glancing towards Raiquen when he spoke, she smiled warmly at him. "So even guides can get lost?" She teased him lightly, but nodded. "don't apologise, It's fine, I'm happy to see this shrine too." Perhaps if they didn't make it to the Seasons shrine today, she could use it as an excuse to visit him again, she mused.

Glorious. Simply glorious. Flirting came second nature to Rakasta, second only to breathing, and as such, she was experienced with both genders. It was only one of the fine qualities that made her the glorious Keeper that she was.

The predator listened to her prey with glee. "Do you really think so? You don't think that my mane is too curly? This weather simply does nothing for it." She huffed, blowing a curled lock out of her eyes. "Anyway~" Rakasta said in a sing-song voice, slipping herself between the two to nudge them forward towards the shrine. Not that she wouldn't like the three way in another circumstance. "Have a peep, stay a while, rellllaaaxxx. Or exercise a little, whatever suits your fancy." She winked.

"Besides," The dirty look was back, and gaining power as it stared Raiquen down. "Pleasure is so much more...well, pleasurable than Seasons, don't you agree, Fuzzy Lumpkins?"

Raiquen had to shake his head as Rakasta started up. Really he wasn’t that bright when it came to flirting, but something inside of him was ringing a warning bell. But as it was he knew that since they were already here at the shrine of pleasure then he should show Ili’ella around. It was a rather beautiful shrine as well. He watched Rakasta warily before giving the lioness a small smile. Really he had no real reason to be so jumpy around here right? He was just showing a friend around the pride was all. Even if she was a goddess there was no trouble with that right? Sheesh. His thoughts were in a mess.

“Rakasta.” Raiquen frowned at her while seriously looking at her mane, “Why would you be worried about your mane? It’s lovely as always.” That was him – always the gentleman. It really was fine though as it was and the lion figured that the lioness would realize it with all the extra attention that she got from most males who came past this way.

Grinning sheepishly at Ili’ella the lion nodded, “It happens.” His cheeks warmed, “But I guess you could call it another of my special talents? Getting lost in broad daylight.” It hurt to admit it, but he did tend to get distracted and miss the trails. But during the night when the stars were out then his path was lit. Never would the lion go amiss with the stars above him. Too bad they didn’t help him in other matters – especially where a certain lioness was involved.

"I think we’re just looking around right now.” He looked over at Ili’ella, “Unless you do need a break? We could rest here if you want.” He had obviously missed the wink and had no idea of ‘exercise’ or ‘rest’ was to refer to. That is until the look was sent his way. Even then he pushed down the thought. Surely she wouldn’t….but maybe. Still as she had her comment his normal answer came out automatically. “Every shrine is important to the pride and each is beautiful in its own way.”

And Fuzzy Lumpkins? Really Rakasta? Raiquen nearly groaned at the nickname.

Ili'ella felt a slight pang when Raiquen complimented Rakasta's mane, but she tried to shrug it off. He wasn't hers so he could compliment whomever he wanted. Instead she smiled. “Your mane is beautiful, I wish my mane curled like yours,” Ili'ella complimented. Her mane never really curled, it was rather straight and boring at times.

She looked amused at Raiquen's comment of his special talent, and smiled at him. “Well, no worries, I think your special talent is useful. Sometimes getting lost can lead you to beautiful sights and new things to see.” Ili'ella, quite honestly, spent her entire life lost. She never truly knew where she was or where she was going – at least, she hadn't until her cubs had been born, and then she was a lot more structured.

She looked bemused when they were nudged forward. She blinked a little at the wink Rakasta sent them, and her words, but seeing that Raiquen did not react to the words, she quickly pushed aside her thoughts. Surely she didn't mean that. Raiquen would know better, so Ili'ella didn't respond to it either, looking pensive. “I could rest, but I'm not that tired,” she told them, but glanced back at the shrine. “I'd love to look around though.” Ili'ella smiled at Raiquen's response to Rakasta's comment about the shrines. It was odd to see the gods treated so...equally. So many prides favoured ones over others and others were plain ignored. It was nice.

She giggled at the nickname. Fuzzy Lumpkins? She shot Raiquen and Rakasta an amused look. “Fuzzy Lumpkins?” she repeated, before stepping forward to get a closer look at the shrine.
