 A faint sound of chirping made the flame like lion twitch in annoyance. He wanted to sleep more and the sounds were waking him up. Moaning he flipped over to the other side in hopes that it would block out the sound. No luck. With heavy lidded eyes Cin stared out the door of his home blankly still half asleep. "Fine. I'm up you happy now you little bunch of demons?" He muttered with a yawn and a stretch.
First order of business would be to possibly either catch some breakfast or bathe.... Maybe bathe first to wake up more, there was nothing like a disorientated lion trying to catch a meal. Standing he watched to the entrance of his home and squinted as the sun shone strongly from above, it looked like another scorcher again today.

 Emerald green eyes darted from side to side, always watching for obstacles to overcome while on her morning run through the rouge lands, always training for her next job, always looking for her next lift. The lioness had to keep her mind sharp if she wanted to be a successful thief. Her heart kept up with the beat of her paws crushing the terrain beneath them so loud all she could hear was its' loud drum.
The early riser knew exactly where she was going, she was nothing if not a creature of habit, and straight to the watering hole that she had brought her so much wealth in the past. There was no notice of others around, so with much grace, speed and agility Rani climbed up a tree that extended over the water and dove right into the water for her cool-off swim before her day truly began. In reality, this was one busy lioness with a lot going on.
As she surfaced a faint giggle slipped out of her mouth, there was few things the lioness enjoyed more than being submerged in cold water after a hot run in these weather conditions (accept for gold).

Humming a mindless tune Cinaed reached a paw into the semi-cool water and drew a pattern into it while testing if it was perfect bath water. He shrugged casually before deciding it would do for now and stepped in one paw at a time. Lazily he float along the edge for a bit before venturing out further with lids growing heavy with contentment. A faint sound caused his ears to twitch and stay on alert. One could never be to cautious with water dwellers, they had such nasty teeth.
PLONK.
There is was again where was it comin-all thoughts ceased and red eyes widened at the sight of the beautiful female gliding through the waters so effortlessly. She was almost the same colouring as he was both orange and black which was a welcoming sight. "Hello there." He called in hopes for further interaction.

Instinctively, before she bit her own tail mentaly Rani lowered herself down as low to the water as she could without getting water up her nose (most aweful torment known to snout). Yes, she was actually cought off guard! This wasn't such a normal thing for the dark lioness, she mainly stuck to the shaddows where she was (until recently) welcomed by her muse; she's just beginning to adjust to the world, still a bit tender.
Narrowing in on the lion she waited a casual moment before answering, quickly assesing the situation. "Who are you, another of my 'long lost relatives?" She swam over to where her paws touched the sand comfortably, and shook the tuft on her head dry, chuckling to herself. Apparently Rani had a relative up in her family tree that seemed to make good use of the gifts the gods gave him, if you know what I mean.

He watched as the other started before whirling around to look at him. Cin watched as she talked and moved closer towards him before answering. "Don't believe so. It was just my dad, mom, and siblings. My parent's family were all killed long ago." He spoke calmly watching her as she watched him. He may have sound cool hearted by he didn't really know the older generations of his family that well. Heck he didn't really know his mother or father well as they had left him long ago to start their lives over. Last her heard from his mother she was happily in the pridelands with more babies to take care of and as for his father... He frowned as he thought of him. Who cared about him. "Nisha is her name and my father Samhain."
He floated in the water closer still taking her appearance as she was somewhat different then the other rogue felines he'd seen or talk too. "You from around here?" His voice rumbled out, a deep tone he got from his fathers genes. "My names Cinaed incase you were curious." He spoke bluntly as he believed in introductions right from the get-go.

Well done, Rani' her ears went down, her head lowered, turning in shame and she bit down on her tail mentally again. She was always doing this, even to complete strangers, hitting a sore subject with a joke on accident. But she had to admit, this was the fastest she'd ever struck a nerve on another lion (not cheetahs, they were surprisingly easy to cross a line with without knowing it).
Sinking down back to her insecurities briefly, she couldn't decide if she should just run or apologize profusely. Perhaps both, one from a distance; that was, until she heard his name. Such manners were something rarely seen in the rouge lands.
"Oh, Cinaed, I'm sorry to hear about your family." The rest of the apology stayed in her head, "I'm Rani'Kob" A natural coy smile tugged at her cheeks, "And I'm from Kizingo'Zaa, not far from here. No lines can keep me contained I'm afraid." There the new Rani was, beginning to shine through the shyness.

He saw the other female wilt before his eyes and look around nervously. He usually wasn't that good with females but he solidered on and patted Rani on her shoulder in a comforting gesture. "Hey no worries, it is a part of life after all. Creatures come and go all the time." He blinked and tried to think about that clan. "Sorry can't say I've heard of that one before. I only know of the Pridelands as well as the Swampies." A smile spread across his face at her comment about freedom. "I understand you there. I love my freedom and traveling is my thing. You get to witness and be apart of so many things."
He curiously looked around to see if he could spot more K'Z lions. "Do you travel around by yourself?" He was a bit old fashioned when it came to females wandering off alone.

Rani did her best to sustain a jump while the male touched her, no one usually touched her, she just nodded her head as he as speaking, listening attentively. Her eyes went from the sand and the water up to his eyes, glimmering from the reflections of light.
"You havn't heard of Kizingo'Zaa? You're not too far away from the lands, you know? " Quickly and carefully Rani thought of her options again, was he hiding a more violent nature? Certainly if he was, he wouldn't have opened up about his family, right? A wierd sensation rumbled in her abdomen, not gas nor hunger but a tickeling frenzy within which left her a little bewildered.
"Yes, every morning I run, train and swim before villiage life begins. My neighbors snore, so I never get a full night's sleep." She paused unsure how much more she should say about herself, "what about you?"

He felt a rumbling of laughter climb up his throat and outward as he heard talk about the snoring of neighbours. Usually he traveled alone and couldn't really relate to that aspect. "Nope," He puckered his lips to make a popping sound. "I can't say that I have heard of them, but the world is huge so it's kinda not surprising. It doesn't sound so bad to be apart of something that involves village life. Me?" He paused to think. "Well, I've been alone for a while now just roaming the rogue lands. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad life I like it. Of course with everything there is good times and bad ones too. Mostly my days are spent exploring new areas or just plain survival. I find hunting a good sport. My mother taught me when I was younger."
He looked at the other curiously and wondered how she would feel about getting to know him better. He always had such a bad time figuring out what went on in a females mind. " Soo... you aren't in a hurry to go anywhere right? I would love to get to know you better." He tilted his head hoping that Rani would hang out with him before she went off to do possibly more training or whatever pride life entailed.

The male was talking, and Rani was trying hard to listen but she was getting the distinct feeling that a puzzle was about to be solved. It was at 'to get to know you better' when the lightbulb flicked on in her head. "I loved hunting with my mother."
For nearly half a year, Rani had been trying to figure out a way to show her pride the level of dedication she had to the new way of life, officially leaving behind the old. Cinead would be the answer to that quandy, she would help boost the numbers of the pride by bearing cubs. Yes, then there would be no denying her worth (that she had some).
A new demenor came over Rani, she purred softly and wrapped her tail aroud her body. "Time is of no matter, maybe this will be one of those good times to being alone.." She trailed off suggestively, this would't be such a grusome task.
