 Tazira was on a mission, and while the mission was something related to personal gain, Tazira kept telling herself that it would both make Mopani happy and it would make her brother crazy. It would also be good for her pride. The Stormborn needed more Freeborn that could be raised to be healers and crafters, cooks, mint growers and winemakers. Tazira was taking it upon herself to head out into the wild blue yonder so that she might return home with her belly full of babies. So many babies. She had visions of herself and Mopani curled together with a mountain of cubs. It would so totally drive her brother crazy. That would be one of the best parts as far as Tazira was concerned.

 Unlike Tazira, he hadnt been thinking of cubs much at all. He was still a rather young adult and he liked his freedom. That didn't mean he was against a feeling of love though. He really actually found himself daydreaming about it a bit often. He had left his pride not long ago.. and he felt awful about it. He longed to be back in homelands but that was only because he was so damned lonely! The yellow male was large, but he was slender. His mane was a soft, silky black and it was obvious the male took care of it. He liked his mane, and he liked hygiene. He had been wondering of joining a pride, out of the need for more social escapades. But he really didn't want more rules. He had left his first pride, because of rules! He didnt want more.. and so he had banished the idea rather quickly.

Pausing at a small pool to quench her thirst, Tazira sighed softly. Each time on her forays from the pride she stumbled across males here and there, all of which tried to seduce her with pretty words, and now that she was out and about with the sole purpose of finding a male to give her cubs -- well, none were to be found!
Tazira groused softly to herself as she glanced around, her tail curled 'round her front paws as she pondered her next action. It didn't take long for her to spot a flash of yellow, but she could not tell what she was looking at, exactly. The distance and the high brush between herself and that flash of yellow made it hard to visualize what she was looking at.
Rising to her feet, Tazira gave chase. The spot of yellow didn't seem to be moving very fast, so it wasn't long until she could make out the form of a large yet lithe male lion. He wasn't big and fat like her brother -- quite the opposite.

He stopped in a shady spot, taking the sun off his back. He had been planning on maybe snoozing here but he was alerted to the sound of moving grasses. He heard someone coming for him. He stood tall, and stared out at the figure running straight towards him.
She was rather like a blur but he could make out certain features. She was brown for instance, and female, but that was it. Crouching in a defensive stance, he prepared himself for the dangers that could come from a lioness coming straight for you.
"Id best warn you now, I do not play stupid games, and I am not a weak duckling. So if you plan on harming me, you'd best think again." He called out.

Tazira skidded to a halt. She was used to big brawny lions talking big brawny words, so his words did not give her pause. In fact, she found the situation a little comical. Truthfully, she did not fear for her life out here far from her home. Call her reckless, call her cocky. It was simply how she carried herself.
"How quaint," she said with amusement, "for I do not play games myself. And why," she asked, a brow slowly climbing, "do you think I would want to hurt you? That would require effort and it is way, way too hot out here for that kind of nonsense."
She didn't mean to come off as condescending, she just... didn't care what he thought of her. Probably the wrong way to approach someone when you were out looking for a baby daddy.

When she came to a stop, he let out a relieved sigh. He had not wanted to fight a girl. He knew sometimes situations called for it, as lets face it.. Lionesses tended to be better hunters, they were quicker, and they had just as many claws and teeth as a male. That made a female a dangerous thing.
"Well good. Cause I dont like them." He said with a confused look. He supposed he could have been more friendly but he honestly had been worried she was going to mar his lovely yellow pelt.
"I do not know what you are thinking. You running at me like a bat out of hell, Im going to assume its to hurt me. You certainly werent trying to jump me in a moment of passion." He chuckled.

Tazira laughed, her head tossing back in mirth. Oh, he was a clever one, wasn't he? Tazira liked that in her partners. Mopani was a clever lioness, which was one of the things that Tazira enjoyed about her. "You can never be too careful," she choked out between fits of chuckles, "I hear there are gangs of lions that roam the savanna hoping to... you know," she wiggled her eyebrows up and down in bawdy amusement.
Funnily enough, she was one of those lionesses herself.
As her laughter tapered off, Tazira shook her head. "Although I said it in fun, there are certain truths to be found in that," she added a little sheepishly.

He grinned at her wagging eyebrows and gave his own laugh. He wasnt sure what she was talking about. Truth was he wasnt caught up on all the prides. He hadnt taken the time to learn them and he still likely wouldnt. However the one she spoke of sounded interesting and he raised an eyebrow.
"Ah well it looks like that would be my kind of gang. I like... you know." He said, wagging his own eyebrow back at her.
"And thats the best part. I like honesty, and I like gangs of lions that have one thing on their mind. So long as theyre female, and attractive."
He said with another chuckle.

"I suppose you could call me a gang of one," she said brashly, getting down to the matter at hand. "I come from a pride, the Stormborn, and I did not find any males within the pride that I would choose to... you know." Oh, now she was just being cute, and she knew it. Offering him a wink, Tazira raised a questioning brow.
"Do you have a place to call home? A mate? Cubs of your own? I am searching for a male to ... " she coughed. Brash and brazen as she may be, this was turning out to be more difficult than she would have liked.
Ah, well. Best to just spit it out, she supposed.
"I want cubs."
Hah, there.

He stepped forward, looking her over with an approving gaze. With a wink and a grin he chuckled. He hadn't met anyone so forward in his entire life and he actually liked it.
Then she started in on the questions and he sighed. He knew those were coming. With a soft smile he answered them both.
"No, and nuh-uh." He listened to what it was she wanted, and he would be lying if his instincts didn't tell him to turn and run. But he stood there, steadfast.
"Cubs, huh? Now why on earth would you want those?" He asked.

Tazira grinned brightly, shaking her head. "Don't worry, I don't need a male to stick around and help me raise them. I have a companion back at my pride and we are perfectly capable of taking care of young ones. I want cubs because I cannot gain them from my partner." Yeah, yeah. You can't help who you love, Taz supposed.
She was not ashamed of her homelife. Anyone would be so lucky to have a female in their life like Mopani.
"My mate is female. She lacks the neccesary.. ah.. well, you know. It's impossible. Plus all the males in my pride are buffoons. Big and bulky and clumsy." Not lithe and lovely like him.

He grinned when she said her mate was female, and with a wriggle of his nose he winked at her.
"Ooh does that mean I get to watch too?" He asked, obviously teasing as he really had no time to stop at anyones pride. He really didnt feel comfortable doing it, and so he would likely never have time. But.. he that didnt mean he wasn't interested.
"Tell you what, baby. Lets find a quiet place, or hell, a loud public place if you're the kind. Im up for helping you out."
He grinned, stepping closer so that his chest touched her.
"Lets make some babies."

Bestill her heart. If she didn't have a pretty lady waiting at home for her, Tazira would be sorely tempted to drag this fellow back home with her. Brash and sassy, he tickled her funnybone. Tazira was charmed by his naughty sense of humor and she couldn't help herself.
"Hell yeah," she wiggled her brows. "Lets go make some babies."
She didn't even know his name and quite frankly she didn't really care. She couldn't wait to hit it and quit it before hightailing back home so that she could give Mopani a whole herd of kids.
