Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mimo squatted secluded between a large grouping of lush, green bushes. Her belly rubbing against the ground as she took slow quiet breaths. She enjoyed it here in the roguelands, it was wonderful here unlike the harsh reality the drought had taken upon her home. But, she couldn't stay, she knew it wasn't even a question. Even now as she stalked her prey, she felt the sharp pangs of homesickness eating her alive. But she had to ignore those for just a bit longer, the she could go home and have the wondrous life she'd been dreaming of for so long.

Snapping back to attention, Mimo glared her eyes against the setting sun, locking onto her target and not letting go. She had to approach him, but what if he rejected her? What if he became violent, or simply laughed in her face?

Nonsense, he was a male, and at least part of him wouldn't be able to say no. She knew that firsthand from her days in the Ithambo'Hlabathi. Males loved females, if for nothing else but items to use and toss away. Which by all means was perfectly fine with Mimo, she just wanted the outcome. Taking a deep breath, and gathering her courage Mimo approached the male. Her head held high and doing her best to attract his attention. Perhaps if he noticed her first she could play hard to get?

Nothing a male loved more than having something he was told he couldn't.

Mimo mentally patted herself on the back for her own benefit. She'd been hoping that this technique would work! After all, she'd seen it happen so often within her own pride, that really it was all she knew, was there really another way to grasp the attention of a male? It didn't matter, she had hooked her fish, now it was time to reel it in. Nice and slowly, that was the key to this one.

Listening with anticipation to each word the male said, had Mimo ready to burst with excitement. But she was an adult, and she was pretty sure that wasn't how she was supposed to handle herself in this situation. Instead she merely let out a small 'Hmmmm' noise and commented back.

"I think you may be right." Picking herself up from the low position on the ground, and slowly prancing around the male in oddly shaped circles. "If that truly is the case, then perhaps, you'd like to hear my proposition...

Mimo purred seductively as she allowed her tail to wrap lightly along the male's snout. "Yes it is so." She giggled slightly when she said it, and quickly regretted it.

Her attention now more commonly drawn to his well defined muscle. Oh yes, she had made the right decision, she would have strong, brave cubs with this male, and the pride would be happy.

"So my proposition is pretty simple, and it benefits the both of us. Perhaps, it may benefit you a little more than I, but I guess that's a self chosen thing..." Beginning to trail off rather quickly, Mimo shook her attention away from the attractive male in front of her, and back to the proposition at hand.

"I will give you this night tonight, and you may do what you wish with it. But in return, I want to bear your cubs."

Oh yes, blatant and simple, that's how she liked it, and that's how she'd done it. Though it did sound odd in some ways.

"I am open to negotiation, but absolutely no rejection." Mimo put on her best 'stubborn face' and awaited his reply.

Mimo giggled childishly at the male's response. She was so awkward with these, she hadn't at all expected his answer. But she was more than happy with it.

"I can think of nothing better."

She smiled lightly, allowing her tail to swish back and forth in excitement. "But, perhaps there are certain arrangements we should take into consideration before we go any further.." She paused, wincing at her own words.

"Who they will go with for instance?"

Mimo listened as the male explained his request. It was acceptable, if nothing else, and she would agree to it. Because she had those plans as well. Her home needed the females, and she was fine with her baby bots going off with him because at least she could hope he would care for them, more than they would be cared for by her own family.

Nodding in agreeance, she finally realized that she wasn't actually speaking aloud. "I would prefer if the boys could return with you to your home. Since my home, is more open to females. The boys would be shooed away soon after their births. If your home will provide for them better, given their gender, then that it where I would request that they go." She paused smiling in excitement and continued. "I fully agree to sharing them with you, if you so choose I would not object to a female following along with you, so long as I have one to bring home to my pride.

Mimo watched as the male stood and offered to escort her somewhere else. She was overjoyed, but dare not show it. After tonight, she might well turn out to be the Mother she'd been dying to be. With a smile, and a twinkle in her eye, she stood and followed after him. Not even sure of his name, or exactly where his home really was.
