With the sun having begun to rise, the air was warm and the breeze was gentle on his mane. It was now as he walked among the lands he began to remember the first day he came here. It didn't seem to be that long ago but it was a day he would never forget. Since it was the day he met her, the girl who had stolen his heart at first glance. He wasn't quite sure what this feeling was that he felt, but he did know it was something he had never felt before in his entire life.
Her name was Nko, and in his eyes she was the most tempting and beautiful maiden around. As a smirk came to his face he began to think, "Maybe today I could take her out to do something fun." He wasn't quite sure what he was going to do though he definitely knew he wanted to spend the whole day with her if he could. So he quickly began to look around him, and wondered where she might be at this time of day. Maybe she was still asleep, or maybe she was already up just like him.

 Nko strolled leasurely from her den. Surprisingly up early after last night. She had spent some time with her brother and his mate, and their new cubs. They were absolutely adorably small. Now it was up to her to find them some toys. The rusty female wished she'd done that with her own cubs, who were now adults. Ah well, she would learn from her mistake. Starting with those toys for her neices and nephews. Nko gave a full stretch to limber up.
Just as she was about to leave a bright red pelt caught her eye. She grinned as she recognized the rogue she'd brought to the pride. "Hasha! Good morning. What sees you up this bright early day?"

He had only been searching for a couple minutes, when suddenly he heard something come from behind him. Upon hearing the female voice, he turned around at medium pace and noticed it was Nko! The person he had just started a hunt for had just appeared before his very eyes. "Well that was a quick search," He thought quietly to himself with a slight chuckle as he grinned towards her. As he looked towards her he couldn't help but note that her sleep did not alter her beauty in anyway. She looked just as tempting to him, as they day he first set eyes on her.
"Well good morning, Nko. Might I say you look beautiful as ever this wonderful morning, and as luck may have it I was actually out looking for you," he said very smoothly as he walked towards her a bit. He figured it would be best to answer honestly in this case, since he had nothing to lose really.

Nko arched her neck as he called her beautiful and remember what rank he'd woken up to. "Why thank you Hasha. My congrats on you're joining the pride as a Lord." She had sat down and started to itch her ear. Surprised to hear he was looking for her, she looked up at him. "Is there something wrong?" Images of attacks on the royal couple or hordes of rogues on the borders flitted across her mind, and probably evident on her face. She rose quickly to her feet. Nko wasn't sure why it would have been Hasha coming to tell her, but she would be ready to move. With her new rank it could have been a new rogue or rogues waiting to join. That would certainly be less frantic and still need her.

Seeing her arch her neck a bit made him smile even greater, and to think that would be just beginning of his compliments and flirting with her today. Since he was on a mission and that mission was to try and figure out just what this feeling was. Along with having a good time with a beautiful lady of course.
Hasha bowed a bit at her words, "Well thank you, I was quite surprised at my ranking to be honest. Since I never would have seen myself as a lord." Sure he had dreamed about it but dreams were just that dreams. Or that was until now, since he had joined this pride and all his dreams were beginning to come true. For a moment he dazed off into his thoughts only to shake his mane a bit and turn his attention back towards Nko.
The minute he saw her alerted like face he waved his left front paw gently and laughed. "Oh no it was nothing like that my dear," he said before continuing sweetly, "I just was coming to see if you were free today by chance?" He spoke those words a smoothly as he could, hoping he got his point across at least a little without seeming foolish.

Nko beamed at him. Never had she thought the wayward rogue she'd brought in would make lord. It made her chest puff with pride. Surely the Great Lion favored him. "Ah, then surely you are most worthy of it." She gave a happy purr for him. The rusty lioness was pleased that he had sought out her company. She had not had the opportunity to spend much time with Lords or Ladies.
She settled back as he waved his paw. Her head ducked as she chuckled embarrassed at her reaction. Obviously the pride wasn't in an uproar, so she shouldn't have jumped to such dire conclusions. She tried to restore her calm as he stated his reason for searching her out. Her head tilted as he asked if she was free.
"Well I have nothing pressing to do today. Did you need something?" Her ear twitched at the tone of his voice. She had to sternly tell her stomach to stop fluttering. He couldn't possibly be flirting with her. After all, he was a lord and she a lowly guard. Nko felt sure he would try to find a high ranking female.

Hasha tried his best to stand his ground and not allow his face to turn red as he heard her last words. He could feel his body begin to sweat and thought he was almost about to lose his nerve. That was until he whispered in his mind, "calm and cool." With a deep breath, he reminded himself that he had to try his best to show her just how strong of a guy he was. So with all the strength he had he focused on her beautiful self, and began to speak once more.
"Actually yes I did, I felt the need to see you. So I was just hoping if you were free you may want to spend the day with me, mi'lady," he said as he gave a sweet half grin in her direction. It was at this moment he looked at her as an equal and nothing more. Sure he knew this new pride in which he now called home. Had a thing called rankings and with that he noticed it was almost said that guards and lords were not supposed to work together as a pair. That most seemed to date or even marry within their rankings, or they would be forced to give up their position within the pride.
Despite all of the rules though he refused to let hold him back. He knew what he wanted and he was going for it! Since to him he could give it all away if it meant he could just see her face one more time. None of the royal females could compare with the beauty he had seen that first day. She was his light in the darkness, and she had taken his heart at first sight. All he had to hope for now was he could get her to return his feelings one day. "That is if you wouldn't mind spending the day with a lord like myself," he said with a slight chuckle as he awaited her response.

She was surprised and flattered though she did her best not to show it. Here she thought she'd spend her day alone hunting up toys for her nieces and nephews. Now she had the opportunity to spend her day with Hasha. But doing what? Nko didn't answer right away to let him squirm a moment. She couldn't resist his flattery, and her smile gave her away before she intended.
"Well since you offered, I'll accept Hasha. Did you have something specific planned?" Curiosity was eating at her. She gave a soft laugh, "no. I don't mind spending the day with a lord." That was almost as good as a member of the royal family. How could she say no to that? But is his rank all you can't say no to? A voice nibbled at the back of her mind. Well he was friendly and flattering to her. No other lion had shown interest. Not even a slave. Perhaps during the day with him she could discern how he felt about her. Even a friendship would be nice, she firmly told herself.

As soon as Hasha noticed her smile his nervousness inside his chest faded away, as he slowly puffed his chest out in pride. She was going to say yes he was sure of it, and he just stood there waiting for her wonderful voice to agree to his offer.
As she spoke them he could feel something else grow inside him. He felt his chest grow jumpy inside not something a man should probably feel, "Well I'm glad you'll accept my offer, since otherwise I may have to spend the day alone with a beautiful lioness by my side." As soon as he finished speaking he began to think of her question and began to think. Just what did he have in plan for today ... he had forgotten almost as soon as he saw her. That was until it hit him just at that moment he began to think. That secret spot he had found as he was wandering around the pride edges last night. It would be the perfect place to take her! A place no one but they knew about, and maybe that was hopefully something that work well as a first outing together. a first of many more he hoped deep inside....
"I actually did, there is somewhere I would love to show you. Its not quite is great as your beauty but is somewhere no one else knows of and it is place that is very wonderful and full of character," he said with a smirk on his face. "As for the lord part, I'm glad you don't mind. Though for today might I ask one favor of you?" he said as he looked towards her eyes trying to figure out just what she was feeling right now or even just thinking.

Nko flicked her ear. She was disappointed that she was only his second choice. For all she knew she could be his fourth or fifth! It was flattering that he wanted to spend the day with her. Her curiosity was eating at her on the identity of this other lioness. The lioness devised a way to try and find out the identity of her competition.
"So if I'd said no, who is this beautiful lioness you speak of?" She made her voice teasing as if the answer didn't matter to her. Nko wondered why she was even asking, other than jealousy. It's not like she would go attacking another member of the pride. She might be jealous, but that didn't mean she'd be able to do anything about it. Perhaps she could put in a word to this other lioness' ear and have her back off. Not that Nko had claim to a Lord.
Gratefully his voice distracted her from her thoughts. Oh, he had a spot? She nearly giggled. It was unlikely he'd found a spot she hadn't seen yet, but she wasn't going to ruin it for him. Nko could still act surprised. She purred as he compared it to her beauty. It came as a surprise when he asked for a favor. Hesitantly she answer, "What is this favor?"

Hasha couldn't help but smirk. While it wasn't completely true that he had anyone else to ask. He only saw her in his eyes and no female could ever compare when it came to her. He had just wanted to see her reaction, to see if his efforts were going any where when it came to getting close to her heart. The sight of her jealously was fun to see he had to admit, and it proved to him his efforts weren't in vain after all. She felt something towards him and that was all that mattered. Wither it was love or just liking him a bit, this one thing made him even more eager to win her heart.
At first he wasn't sure if he should continue to try his luck with this not so true story he was saying. Though he decided he'd see what she'd say if he did go further. "Well she's not as beautiful as you are, though I believe she was a Lady I ran into yesterday," he said with his eyes looking to the sky before turning towards her. "Though might I ask why you were interested?" he said with curiosity gleaming in his voice as he moved slightly closer towards her.
He smiled as he saw her purr, she was beautiful and cute. What wasn't she? She had everything every guy in the world would dream of. Lucky for him he had seen it sooner rather than later. He couldn't wait to take her to the spot, maybe then he could show her just what he was made of. "The favor I ask is instead of calling me Lord, call me Hasha or some cute nickname," he said with a slight laugh before explaining his reasoning, "The reason i ask such a request of you is because I want us to consider each other equals. Not caring of our titles at least today." He smiled towards her with the kindest smile he had inside him, hoping his favor wasn't to much to ask of her.

She wondered at his smirk. Was that a good or bad smirk? Did it bode well or ill for her? No help but to press on now. If it started to go downhill she could always say she forgot she needed to fetch some toys for her nieces and nephews. Bravely she faced the fact he'd already met a Lady. Well of course he had. When you found your rank you got to meet everybody else in that same rank. She had even gone through it when her group had found the pride. How could she expect less of him?
Nko shrugged it off, as clearly he wasn't going to say her name. "No reason. Well lets get going," she said the last with less enthusiasm than before. Maybe she'd missed something, as busy as she was now. It was entirely possible since she didn't spend much time in that circle. She looked at him askance for the favor. That was an odd request by her standards. First he says he met a Lady, then asks for a cute nickname. Was he playing them? "Uh..... sure Hasha."

There never was a lady or anyone else for that matter. When the lords and ladies all had approached him, he simple had smiled and nodded to them all. None of them stuck out to him and to be honest he felt almost like he didn't belong with them. It could have been because in his heart he already knew where he belonged and he would give anything if he meant he could feel that way the rest of his life.
Hasha nodded and said, "I see well Thank you Nko for granting my silly request." With those words he gently looked in the northern direction and said, "shall we venture out now?" He decided he would wait until they were at the spot to explain to her that their was no other. He only had eyes for one and that today he was hoping to figure out if this one lioness had felt anything for him as well.

Nko wanted to ponder her position in the pride, and why there hadn't been any lions showing interest. Now wasn't the time though. Today she was going to spend with Hasha. He had after all come looking for her. She smiled to herself at that. Perhaps today wouldn't be all a waste.
"You're welcome Hasha. Yeah we should probably. Since I have no idea how far away you plan to go." She gave him a smile. Her gaze followed his northward. "That way then?" Nko started walking leisurely, and enjoying the sights around.

Hasha nodded gently as he walked in the direction she had. "That way it is milady and I truly am glad you decide to join me today," as he finished that last word a grin appeared on his face so brightly. Today would be the day he would attempt to show her just how wonderful of a lion he was. Rank, color, strength, nothing could change how he felt. Since love has no bounds not even the bounds of rank.
'I will win her heart or let it break trying,' he thought to himself in his mind. As he took his glance back to her soft face he knew where his destination was. He was determined to make sure she could never forgot him, well that and he really just wanted to allow her to have a break. She always was guarding or protecting others, so in his mind he figured maybe it was time for her to have some time of her own. Time where nothing mattered but her happiness.
This he knew would be the best day in his life and hopefully one of the great days in hers. That was all he thought as he closed in on an area that looked to be covered in big green leaves, as if the leaves were covering a great surprise close to he borders edge.
