 Turu was doing what he did best. Lumbering. He lumbered over to a tree and began to scratch his back on it. Sometimes that was the only way to get rid of what you couldn't reach. Now often, it was said that Turu was not only big but a bit slow. That was how others viewed him but he knew the truth. Turu hid his true self under the guise of being the 'muscle', it let him have the advantage in case anything were to go down.
He wasn't too bored yet or lonely. Zuru wasn't around much anymore or maybe he was just busy with life. All Turu knew was that they had gotten separated from one another at one point and had yet to meet up again. His twin brother and other brother...hadn't seen them for a while now. His eyes fluttered shut, "Oh yeah that's the spot." A piece of bark hit the very itch he was trying to get rid of. "Mmmm."Depawsit Thought i'd start~ Hope that is ok.

 Xerxes had been in the pride for a few days now, and she felt as though she were finally getting the hang of this new environment. Sure! There wasn't an ocean, or really any of the things she'd become accustomed to being around. But the fresh mountain air more than made up for those things. She loved climbing the rocks as high as she could, and taking large breaths. It made her feel invigorated and alive. It was a bit weird, but she didn't expect anyone else to understand. She was an odd little lion, and there was no getting around it. Today she had taken a new route, deciding to go down the mountain rather than up. She'd only been this way once before, and that was when she had made her way here. Things seemed different now, not as scary or menacing as they'd looked only a few days ago. Perhaps her time within the pride had already begun to soften her view of the place? She began to laugh to herself, as she took small, careful steps down the mountain. That's about the time she heard the noises. Curious about their origin, her ears perked as she tried to scan the area. Though she had a terrible vantage point. Frowning slightly, she decided to climb back up, just a few feet above her was a nice lookout point. It took a bit, but as she reached the lookout spot, she was short of breath and exhausted. But it didn't stop her curiosity one bit. Frantically her tired eyes scanned the area, and soon came upon a large fluffy lion. In some spots, his fur seemed to blend with the rocks at his feet. "HEY! YOU! DOWN THERE, THE ONE WITH THE FLUFFY MANE!" As she barked her greeting to the male, she wondered whether that had been a good idea or a bad one. Judging by his current actions, she would guess he wasn't all that terrifying of a lion. No one who scratched their back like that, could be that scary! Tara de Draiocht Nah I don't mind! I'm glad you did, I was sooo freaking bored today XD

His eyelids had lowered in contentment. This felt so gooood. Eyes closed his mind turned to mush. A sound didn't clue in until it was closer to him. Slowly he opened his eyes and stared at her blankly. She was up high that she was. Pretty. The lioness was pretty to look at. He liked pretty things. "Yes?" His mane all over the place giving him a crazy-cute look and an extra amount of fluff. Others tended to avoid him because of his antics and what they dubbed his weird behaviour. Females brought out an awkwardness in him that he kind of hated, it felt like he could never say the right thing.
Turu's nose twitched at all the scents around him. Where had he wandered off too? He knew he should say more but...what?

Xerxes didn't even try to hold back her laughter at the male's actions. He was definitely a strange one, but that was OK because she was too. Shrugging her shoulders back, she hollered down a quick response. "Stay there! I'll be right down!" She then proceeded to lithely jump from rock to rock until she had successfully reached solid ground. From here she could see the male much more clearly, everything from his purple feet to his messy, fluffy mane. "HAH! Look at your mane! It's all over the place!" Grinning from ear to ear she approached the male without a second thought. Reaching out to him, she began to groom his mane. Gently at first, but then she realized how much she enjoyed playing with his mane. "Hehe! Your mane is so fluffy!" Unsheathing her claws she began to comb through it gently, careful not to claw of harm him. It had been ages since she'd been able to run her claws through a male's mane! And now here was a fluffy male, with an even fluffier mane! She was in heaven! One glance at the male and she realized she'd probably over stepped her boundaries. She quickly sheathed her claws once more and stepped away with a sheepish grin. "Heh! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Your mane is very pretty ... Um HANDSOME! Yeah - handsome!"

Turu usually didn't follow others orders, but there was something about this females voice that called for him to listen. So he did just that. He plopped his furry butt down and waited. Turu tensed for a moment as the other female came closer and closer. No one really made an effort to be around him and lately the only feline that was close to him had been absent from his life. His brother. A scent filled his nose... one that reminded him of the ocean and...clean female. Lids drooped as she began to groom him, it was a nice sensation. A deep rumbling purr began to pick up from his chest before he could stop it. 'Mrrrrr... hey-what-no-why was the pretty stopping?' He grunted in displeasure and frowned at her for backing away. Without thought he pulled her in and cuddled. Her words registered just then. 'Handsome?' Turu blinked confused. Not many thought that of him. "Thank you Pretty." He didn't know her name so why not use the one he thought of himself? He began grooming her as well. He continued to talk as he could tell the other liked it. "My twin has the same mane, it can be quite...fluffy?" He demonstrated by simply tapping his hair and not even a second later it puffed out. "You have a mane as well." He liked it even if it was short. Soft, so soooooft. He began to purr like a motorboat once more.

Xerxes giggled openly as she listened to the steady hum of the male's purr. Well it seemed he had enjoyed her grooming just as much as she enjoyed giving it. That only made her want to go back and continue, but she held onto her resolve. She shouldn't force herself on other's, despite how handsome and AMAZING their mane might be. She stood there a moment, awkwardly fiddling with her own paws. She wasn't sure if he was dumbfounded by her bravery .. or simply creeped out. Soon though, she got some semblance of an answer as he pulled her in close. Xerxes let out a yelp, unsure of what was happening until it was already over. "Pretty? No ... no you have the wrong girl there!" She giggled happily, as she enjoyed the sensation of having someone groom her own little tuft. Her brothers would never lay with her mane ... they teased her that it wasn't fluffy enough, but he seemed to think it wasn't so bad ... Her eyes had nearly closed in complete relaxation when his words caught her off guard, and she nearly jumped out of his embrace. "YOU HAVE A TWIN TOO? NO WAY!" Her tail began to flick awkwardly back and forth in her excitement. His added poof didn't make her any less itchy to get her paws back into his mane. "I'M A TWIN! THIS IS SO WEIRD!" She mused happily, finally giving in to her own strange obsession and brushing her paws back through his mane. "Yeah ... but my mane isn't that impressive at all. unlike your's! I really like your's ummm..." Xerxes paused in her tracks when she realized she hadn't even gotten his name. "Oh ... sorry I don't know your name yet. I'M XERXES! But you can call me Xerxes!" Laughing at her own joke, she once again busied herself with his mane. Tara de Draiocht D: Sorry, this got buried under a ton of other things. Thanks for tagging me again <3

Turu frowned at Pretties words, of course she was pretty. He could tell she was liking the grooming as her body began to relax next to his, but her next reaction caused him to blink in shock. Turu stopped the grooming in order to nod his head at the twin comment and her next words caused his eyes to widen. "Oh." This was an interesting development. "Oooo-" She had gone back to grooming and therefore he was now a pile of purring mush on the ground. "Xerxes." He hummed out. His little Xerie. "I'm Turu you can call me...Turu." He attempted to return her joke and tried smiling. It was a weak one but he was trying for this female. "My twin.. I haven't seen him in such a long time."
I want to live here and be near this female. The thought popped in his head quite surprisingly, it wasn't a usual occurrence for him to want things. But... this feeling, this was nice. "What's fun around here?" What do you do? What do you like to do? He was trying to find out all about her in a subtle way. He had learned the hard way that his blunt nature scared others off, so he worked on himself finding other ways to get his point across.

Xerxes giggled happily as her new friend seemed to dissolve in her paws. His mane alone was enough for her to like him, but now as she watched his characteristics ... well she seemed to like him just a bit more. As the male hummed her name, Xerxes felt a bit of warmth in her cheeks and placed a paw upon them to try and hide it. "TURU!
TURU ...
TURU!
YES! I LIKE THAT NAME!" She nearly yelped with glee, nodding fervently as she continued running her claws slowly through his mane. Oh how much she loved that fluffy mane of his ... "Oh?" Pausing her grooming, she frowned a bit at his words. Instantly being reminded of her own twin. "I don't get to see mine anymore either ... but I miss her a lot."It took a moment, but Xerxes soon resumed her kneading of the mane and she fell victim to the lull of his purr. Slipping away into total relaxation, it took a second for his final words to register. "Fun? Around here? Hmmmm"Pulling a free paw from his mane, she gently tapped an extended claw across her chin. "Well there's rock climbing! That's what I was doing when I found you! Its pretty fun, but sometimes it can be dangerous. There's lot of stuff to do here in the mountains ... but I guess a lot of it is dangerous since some of the rocks aren't exactly stable..."

Turu huffed in amusement as he spoke his name over and over. She certainly was darling and ooooh that spot right there--before he could stop it his leg thumped once on the ground. Oh no! She was leaving him! In silent horror he watched as her paw detached from his mane. Nearly whimpering he moved closer. He was desperate with a capital "D". Her words interrupted his woe. "Oh." Turu blinked and looked upward while biting his lip. "I like rock climbing too." Which honestly was a lie, but if it got him to spend more time with this creature of beautiful what could it hurt? "Can I-" Keep you? Love you forever? He was being creepy again, while according to the outsides sources-friends--he could be just that; different. "Join you?"

Xerxes was so caught up in her own excitement and thought that she'd hardly realized that Turu had moved slightly closer to her. Though she wouldn't have minded that anyway, she came from a very close family, and as Turu should have noted by now - boundaries weren't exactly the norm to her. "You do?!" She yelped excitedly, jumping to her paws once more, tail flicking excitedly behind her. "Have you ever climbed these type of rocks? I've climbed rocks back at my old home - those were a bit more sturdy, where as these are far more weak and flimsy ... BUT THEY'RE STILL FUN!" She quickly tacked on to the end, not wanting to shy the male away from joining her on her excursion. Truth be told, she kind liked this Turu fella, and if she could just get him to to the top of the mountain .... well she could show him to her pride! Maybe he'd want to stay a while, and she could groom his fluffy mane just a little longer! The thought alone, miade her more than a little giddy and she quickly jumped at the chance to accept his request - "Of course you can silly! Come, come! I'll show you the best way to get started - unless, that is you know a better way! Then you can show me!"Tara de Draiocht I think this one could end here - or with one more post from you! Your choice! Sorry it took a while to get to, things have been hectic as hell lately D:
