The sun was still barely on the horizon when Zara stretched inside of the dens, wincing slightly as she did so. The lioness tossed a glare towards the wound on her leg. It was healing, but that didn't mean it still didn't hurt like a b***h when she moved. Slowly though a smile began to creep onto her face, overtaking the scowl that had previously been there. The refined body moved, pushing itself onto muscled legs. Padding outside, careful not to wake any of her denmates, Zara left her nesting spot in favor the cool, yet warming, outside.
The last duel had been a loss in general but a victory in her mind. Perhaps the lion had indeed just been new and did not know that he was actually insulting her rather then flattering her. Zara chuckled at the thought of him realizing it and being confused kind of amused her.

Chamese had just come from the medic. It seamed that they were getting to know him quite well for a newcomer. Which wasn't bad because now he was at least starting to be known for his wins. He had two! His fur bristled with pride; how exciting. Though he was rather dismayed when the medic's told him he was going to end up with those face scars the rest of his life- but they reassured it them it was a great pride to be completely covered in scars from battle. Again that was another Firekin thing that was new to him.
He was learning so much, but the one thing that he wanted to know was that lionesses name. Above all things. He couldn't care about the scars; or the wins, just what her name was. She STILL hadn't told him. He sighed and sat down close to the medic; maybe he could pick a fight with somebody coming out- he could use another duel.

Zara's eyes moved over the members that were already awake. She commended them for their early rising but also felt a little bad that they worked so hard through the day, something that she was trying to get used to, being fairly new still as well. Proving herself was one of the first steps, at least to her though.
Speak of the devil. There he was. "Hey! Chamase was it? Got someone to look at those scratches huh?" Zara called out to him with a toothy grin on her face. She still needed to prove herself to herself, hopefully by beating him this time.
"The name's Zara."

Chamese skulked until out of nowhere the lioness that he'd been wanting to see some how found him. "Why yes I did get somebody to look at them. Is that too taboo here in the Firekin? He was about to lay on more sass when she spoke her name to him. AT LAST HE HAD WHAT HE WANTED.
"Zara. Thank you for telling me your name." He grinned at her. "But no I'm not here to check on my scars, I was actually thinking about becoming a Medic- but alas they are all full up." His ears flattened in a sulk again- it was a good half truth.

"Scars huh?" Zara moved closer, still limping slightly from the wound he had given to her in their first duel together. She put herself inches from his face, examining over the claw marks she had left under his eye. "It suits you." The lioness finally said after staring at it for almost a minute. "I'm sure it'll be the subject of at a few conversations." A smile spread on her face. Scars. Those were the first ones she had given to any lion in the pride and it happened to be to the one that had pissed her off the most. Awesome.

"Yea. Scars." He looked rather displeased. "But anyway- have you seen the medic about your leg?" He pulled his face back from hers still uncomfortable having anyone that close. It wasn't really him but his past coming back to haunt him. He hadn't been that close since his family had died- to anyone. It was unnerving.
"As I'm sure the holes in your leg will be." His eyebrow gave a playful wiggle back.

"No need. It's healing just fine by itself, as I knew it would." Zara's eyes fell down to her leg and then back up to him. "Another day or so and it should be good as new though I may have a nice bite mark on it." Not that she minded. Scars were beautiful to her and in the culture of the pride she accepted as her new home.
Those holes had healed enough, though the skin was still sensitive to the touch. Walking with a bit of a limp wasn't too bad either. "Bah, those holes are turning into a fine scar that I'll share the story about with my apprentices at some point, whenever I finally take some."

"You could also tell your kids about it too- I plan on telling mine." He blossomed and sounded proud about having a family at some point in the future. Though maybe he could have her cubs- well not him physically birthing babies...he couldn't do that. It was the ladies job and no matter how manly they were they were still the ones to carry the litters- he hoped. But these days he wouldn't be surprised. For all he knew he could have joined a pride of seahorses, improbable- but still all together possible.

"My kids? I doubt it. I'm not opposed to cubs, it's just...You try finding a male that can keep up with me and then we'll see." Zara laughed slightly just at the thought of trying to find a lion who could keep up with her both emotionally and physically. She was a handful with her temper and her need to battle as well, both hard enough for her but for someone else it was an entirely different story. "Apprentices definitely but I don't know about cub."

"I dunno-" He started joking. "I've gone and beaten you once...I'm sure I can keep up with you if not beat you a few more times..." He then paused and realized his error. "Though not that I'm implying that I should be the one fathering your cubs..." It would be nice, but uggghhh he needed to keep his mouth shut on certain issues, and that was one of them.

"Well then if you think you can keep up with me..." A sly grin spread over Zara's mouth just at the thought that raced through her mind just listening to him blab. "Duel me again then, before our water rations. You've won once and tied again. You can obviously keep up with me, but that's see how you fair before having your drink of water." He might have been joking, but she sure wasn't. The lion did have good genes, that's for sure and wasn't all that bad. Maybe it wouldn't be that big of a mistake if she let him father cubs with her.

He raised an eyebrow at her request. "Fine your on...before our rations." He grinned at her from ear to ear aching slightly from the welts across his nose. "Alright...and only if we fight in the worst heat of the day." He looked up at the sun seeing that they didn't have much time before mid-day. "I haven't drank mine today- if your game for a bit more of a challenge."

"Deal then. I'd suggest you rest up while you can." Zara's brows furrowed, a grin on her face. This would be fun. Dangerous, stupid and maybe lethal, but fun all the same. "We still have a few hours before the heat really starts to pick up." She stepped lightly, moving passed him, letting her tail trace over his side as she did. "I'll come find you when it's time for our duel. See you then~"
