The heat of the midday sun, it was annoying how hot it was beneath the bright lights of the day. With his thick bushy mane the soft tan male found the heat almost unbearable and he thanks which ever god it was that provided the shade of a tree and a cool breeze that ran off the watering hole.
Umaarufu always tried to sleep away this time of day but of late the uncomfortable feeling that invaded his mind kept him from relaxing. If anything he hadn't relaxed properly since he had joined the pridelands with the wandering group of lions.
Sleep was evading him and he was convinced it was the heat. With a huff he moved slightly, trying to make himself more comfortable and contented himself with watching the ripples of the watering hole. Ripples could be very relaxing...

If anything, the heat added fire to an already determined Ruva. The sleek lioness set out in what was possibly the brightest time of day to gain an upper paw in her eternal quest for power. She knew exactly who she was going for, and made sure not to dilly-dally on her way to find him.
The gears in her mind were ever turning. It was like a clock, full of manipulative cogs that fortold her hard earned future. All she needed was a little help turning her clock into a full blown factory. And that was where he came in.
Ruva came upon the lion and with a gracious smile, spoke. "Greetings, Umaarufu. May I speak with you?"

The big male yawned and blinked a few lazy times before letting his gaze rest upon the pale lioness. "Ruva." He nodded lifting a genuinely friendly smile, resting his perfect blue eyed gaze rested on the female. She seemed to have a rather determined look on her maw, he was clearly going to have to listen when all he really wanted to be doing was sleeping away the midday sun.
"Do you need a place to sleep?" He asks shuffling over a little to let the lioness share his shade and sacrificing his butt to the sun. Better the butt than the head.
"Settle yourself int he shade and we can talk." He says slowly, his mind never really ticked along at any sort of fast pace, but he knew from experience that if someone was out in the scorching sun, they probably wanted something important.

Her large mauve eyes twinkled with mirth. This may end up being alot easier than even she had previously anticipated. Ruva sat down next to the darker lion, but instead of sprawling out, she sat as prim and proper as a Princess. It felt comforting to be out of the sun's ever watchful eyes. No wonder what gossip it would spread about her.
"Doesn't it feel nice to be in a pride, Umaarufu? I don't know about you, but it's a weight off my shoulders knowing that I have others to watch my back in case something goes wrong." Ruva smiled, seeming at ease, but never loosing that edge in her eyes.

The big male frowned slightly. He still wasn't sure about the pride, it seemed, big, heavy, uncomfortable. He still hadn't managed to shake that uneasy feeling. "It's okay, I guess, the place has a lot." He frowns slightly, a lot of what? He could never quite put his paw on it.
"Well the group, we all had each others back so thats nothing new." He licks his lips and lets a slight yawn spread his maw. "I can't see anything going wrong though, this place is so huge, it's, its an oasis.." He trails off, he didn't feel that way there was always something not quite right niggling at his mind which he hated.
"And why are you out and about at this time of day Ruva?" He questioned, raising a brow, he was pondering just going back to sleep again but the lioness seemed pretty determined to keep him up so perhaps he should just get through this conversation so he could go to sleep, which was what all sensible lions should be doing at this time of day.

A lot of oppurtunies, thats what, she thought with a smug grin. Ruva was surrounded by chances to further herself, and she was going to make sure that she nabbed every last one of them. "The groups split up now," she pointed out. "They've begun to mingle with the Pridelanders. They've become lazy." Hell, so had he! What had he been doing all day before she'd arrived? Sleeping? Typical.
At his question, she turned her body to fully face him, instead of looking out at the water. "I'm so glad you asked." She grinned. "It's come to my attention that these lazy lands need a shape up. Someone to really give it the attention that it deserves."

Again a raised brow from the mal lion. "And how do you intend to 'shape it up' Ruva?" He questioned his bright blue eyed gaze slightly worried now. He knew the lioness was a determined girl, she got what she wanted when she wanted it.
"You know you can't just, change the way things are because you want to. This pride is peaceful can't you just, relax? Smell the proverbial roses." He raises both brows at the lioness now, he had a bad feeling about this conversation.
"You know sensible lions sleep when the sun is this high Ruva. Can we cut to the chase?" He growls a little in his throat, he was slow witted yes, willing to do what others said yes, but Ruva was using all of her batting eye manipulative powers on him and he did not appreciate it one bit. He had to get what she wanted of him out of her so he could go back to just worrying about the other things. Like why this pride was so peaceful...

"The details are unimporant." Ruva waved her paw. She had many ideas on the subject herself, but none that she was willing to share to others. Much less this male.
"Since you are so keen to end our meeting, I'll get straight to the point." She resisted the urge to sneer. As great of an actress as she was, Ruva was barely able to hide her agitation that her weaseling had been cut short. "I've come seeking your aid. If you become my ally as I rise to power, I'll make sure your life is everything you could have ever imagined it to be."

The soft tan male raised a brow, 'rise to power?' What exactly was going on here? He licks his lips, his mind slowly working through the possibilities, perhaps Ruva planned a coup? Well as much as he disliked the idea of raising up, perhaps the reason for raising was because of this deathly quiet?
It took some time for his mind to get around to the correct questions and he opened his mouth to secure the answers. "And who else have you recruited for this Rise to power Ruva?" He questions, this lioness could clearly make anyone do her bidding, he had always been slow in his thought process but he was not a cub. He needed to know the details of this 'up rising' before he committed.

After thinking it over for a moment, Ruva slowly responded. "Samawadi and Waridi will be assisting me." It wasn't information she found terribly important, or at least, important enough to harm her should he decide to spread the word around. After all, it was no big secret that the blue eyed twin fancied her, and should she decide to move left, he would follow.
Now she was curious. Did he ask because he held grudges against some of their members or because he too was curious?

"Ruva, really?" He chuckles and shakes his heads "You would drag babes in to your scheme?" He raises an eyebrow "Those boys don't know their arse from their elbow Ruva, leave them out of it." He pauses for a moment flickering his tail thoughtfully.
He knew the two young ones, one followed the other and one was madly in love with the pale lioness even though she just wanted to use them. "I will help you, but you leave those kids out of it. They are too young to be drawn in to your scheming"

"They are hardly babes, but if you are so keen to be their champion then I'm fine with a swap." It was hardly as if she wouldn't still use the boys, but she would need to be a little sneakier about it lest he catch on.
"Follow me then, we've much to discuss." Ruva flipped her tail up and sauntered away, grinning madly as soon as her face was out of eyesight. This was working out wonderfully, absolutely wonderfully! It was only a matter of time before she got everything she desired, and it would be oh so sweet. All she had to do now was wait.
(FIN - since I realized it was never actually finished lol)
