Mwale'kono huffed gently in the heat. The leg that had been long suffering seemed creaky, and so he did his best to keep it strong. He wasn't a soldier, only a guard, but he knew the importance of strength, especially when there were whispers of the Nergui constantly clutching at the fur of the pride. Shaking his dark mane gently he finished his patrol and headed to catch a drink at a nearby watering hole. As he resided in a large pride, there were lions and lionesses here and there. He gave a gruff nod to one or two on his way, and carried on. Mwale wasn't one for much social interaction. Some would see it as a flaw, others a blessing. The Firekin were comprised mainly of tough, fiery individuals. Though there were those that were more gently and affectionate, he found the majority were rather similar to him, especially those in fighting positions.
His injured eye remained constantly closed, the male had never quite regained the use of the muscles in his eyelids. Fighting the greenwood monster had surely damaged a nerve, or something.

Mwale, as many knew, wasn't entirely suited to idle conversation, though there was something about this female that caught his eye. She was white, whiter than a hot sun, and it was a refreshing change from all the shades of red that had caught his eye as he had wandered to the watering hole. His one working eye focused on the female as he grunted in agreement. "Mmm." Bowing his head to lap up some water roughly, he decided to reciprocate- he had been accused of rudeness lately, and though he wasn't particularly bothered, it wasn't entirely his intention. "Yes, the desert is hot." He said lamely and obviously. The fact that he wasn't a weathered conversationalist seemed to pore from every sound and movement the male made. He stopped to lift his head and admire her markings for a moment. It was as if someone had drawn a bone on her pelt... Strange, and yet wonderful.
