Her time with Areo had come to an end. Shauku was thrilled with how pleasant the company had been, but she knew it wouldn't last forever. The dark male had others to get back to and she had a pride to bring back together.
"Such unfortunate timing." She mumbled softly.
Like all others in the world she always hoped she'd stumble across a lion, hit it off and potentially fall madly in love. This was one of her deepest, best kept secrets. Tough on the outside, but a big softy on the inside.
Shauku sighed gently and began walking her way in the direction of home. "I hope there are others there to even help." Her mind fluttered back to the flood and suddenly, though she kept walking at a steady, she was in deep thought and truly not focusing on the direction she'd begun to head.

 He watched her, dual colored eyes following her movements as he kept to himself, he was used to being on his own, and had been since he was an adol. Raised, well sorta raised by a young adol who seemed to collect abandoned cubs, he wasnt sure how or when he had failed his parents, but it seems they had little issue with leaving him before his eyes could fully focus. His ears flicked, it wasnt a series of thoughts he enjoyed to dwell on and rarely let his mind wander that far back. It wasnt until the snake moved that he even noticed it, he glanced back at her as it coiled, she was lost in her own thoughts. He pondered over it for not even half a second before he was up and moving quickly towards her. "Hey!" he called out, rushing in her direction. Some snakes were dangerous and she was about to walk right into one.

Red orbs focused and moved in their sockets to glance at a large dark figure, the one whom had yelled in her direction. When she noted the worried expression she looked back to her path and spied the source of the worry, not many feet ahead lay a snake whom had coiled itself up and readied itself to deliver a rather nasty blow. Shauku held her breath briefly, but it seemed she brought to focus just in time and was able to avoid a world of hurt.
Problem, snake?
Solution, side step.
And that is precisely what she did, moved from the path of the rather disgruntled looking snake for clearer pastures. Once she knew she was free she took advantage of it and headed towards the brightly colored lion. Her eyes took this moment to wander and take in the colorful being whom had potentially saved her life.
"Hello! Thank you so much!"
Shauku gushed. "I suppose I should be keeping a better eye on my surroundings." The dark lioness almost began to share her woes that had been distracting her, but decided to hold them back. Instead of blabbing on she gave a big grin.

Vilsen let out the breath he seemed to have been holding, he didnt know how many of his lost boy brothers and sisters he'd lost due to snake bites, he had nothing against the legless creatures, but some of them packed a hell of a bite.
His pace slowed to his easy, almost drunken like gait, long, lazy looking strides.
An easy smile took its place on his muzzle as he nodded his head. "Of course, what kind of oaf would I be if I let a lovely lady get bitten by an ornery snake. Not the right kind of bloke if you ask me lets such a thing happen." He said with an easy charm.
"Oh no, the fault isnt completely yours. Nor is it his, its...hers? I dont know, but its simply the fates...gods or what have you, having a bit of fun at our expense." He returned her smile with one of his own.

"True as that may be, plenty of lions would have continued on their way. Though most wouldn't have done so purposely I suppose. You do seem to have a very good eye."
The grin she wore hadn't faded, if it could have it likely would have grown.
"Plenty could have happened, but thankfully my hero was here!"
The black lioness was close as she figured was polite and decidedly wanted to relax a moment by dropping her rump and wrapping a slender tail about her paws. "So, what is your name? Tall, dark and savior?"
She was smooth, much more smooth than she anticipated. Her eyes were glued to the male before her, she was mostly baffled by the astounding purple hues draped over his legs, tail and nose. There was just something so appealing and attractive.

He gave an easy shrug, "Honestly Im surprised I saw it myself, specially since I was watching you." he charmed as he gave her a playful wink and a smile.
As she lowered into a more comfortable sitting position, his eyes golden and blue moved over her tail, the pattern and changing shades drew his attention, and then up her legs to the speckles and finally resting on the heart on her chest before his gaze continued upwards and finally resting on her ruby orbs.
She was definitely a beauty, he couldnt think of any lion with blood in his veins continuing on their way without trying to catch her attention.
At her words though, he gave a dramatic sweeping bow. "A pleasure to be a hero for you." He said with a smile.
"Vilsen'Själ is what I was given, though please by all means Vilsen is a lot easier."

Those ruby eyes watched closely as the near stranger started from her tail and moved slowly up her body to stare back at her. His words didn't make her react, but that smooth action certainly caused the dark lioness to blush. Shauku wasn't shy though and instead of shrinking away at the attention chose to stand slowly - allowing each part of her, from tail to the tip of her nose, have a moment in the spotlight.
"It's certainly nice to meet you, Vilsen."
She purred his named. "The names Shauku." While she spoke her own name she began walking over towards him at a crawling pace, feeling her muscles move beneath her pelt at each motion. She felt incredible, likely the most incredible she had in the days leading up to this point. Thoughts of her pride crept into her mind, but she gingerly pushed them back out.
"Want to get a drink?"
Her flirtation hadn't ceased, if it wasn't for the fact that she actually needed a drink she was sure this was not the direction their story would have gone.

Blood pounded in his ears suddenly, though it certainly didnt seem to want to stay there. The young male mentally chuffed himself, he needed to hold it together, she was a stunning lioness, surely she had better things to do than deal with well...him.
Or, well not he thought as she slowly, purposely crept towards him, his chin raised, his chest puffed out as he watched her, his gaze burning upon her. "Shauku, the pleasure will be min- I mean is mine..The pleasure is mine." He stumbled over his tongue for a moment, when had his mouth gotten so dry!?
At her question, he swallowed hard, if he hadnt needed a drink before, he could definitely use one now.
"Please allow me to escort you to a cold, clean run off.." He let his gaze roam for a moment over her. "To fulfill your needs."

The black lioness continued her approach until she was just out of reach - perhaps one more step and her nose would nearly collide with his. She watched closely as he puffed up his chest and laid those hungering eyes upon her own. For a moment she sat eyes locked with him. Then he began to speak and showed just how much she was effecting him - this made Shauku smile, largely.
With the mention of a drink she backed away, it was only then that she noticed just how parched she had really become. She mused at his words - this would certainly be one of the most interesting drinks she'd likely have.
Ready to do what she does best, and lead, she suddenly realized that she hadn't the foggiest where she was going. A fear washed over her and faded quickly, there was no way she'd let that ruin this moment. Taking a quietly deep breath she recalled his words, escort. Then with that in mind she took up the rear and followed him towards the nearest watering hole, which she hoped was fairly close.
"So where are you from Vilsen? D you have family?"

The large male kept his pace slow and even, though his muscles were all but quivering at her being so close, her scent was entrancing.
He knew of an under ground stream, that came from run off from the mountains, the water was cold as ice, and he hoped would take away the burning flames within.
At the mention of his family, his ears flickered for a moment before he gave an easy shrug, "Ive been almost everywhere, but somewhere I have a mother, father and siblings." He didnt add on that, he had been left behind or something and that a barely adol had raised him and other cubs who had been abandoned. The lost ones she had called them..but it wasnt something he openly spoke about.
"What about you Shauku? " He looked at her, of course he looked at her! He could barely keep his eyes forward, he wouldnt ask about her having a possible mate somewhere, no no, those thoughts would not worry him now, not when her scent was whispering to his senses and making them useless.

Sassy eyes dropped to look at the ground briefly as she thought of home - perhaps could help her find her way, if hadn't a better thing to do. Just as quickly as the thought occurred to her she realized what she really would be asking - would he come to stay.
"My family is a pride." She began slowly, the reaction to meeting a leader could go a multitude of ways, many of which ended with her leaving alone. That isn't what she feared though, she feared hiding something like it or being killed because of it. A leader out in the wild, with a pride that was left to hang by the threads of a strong council? She was sure everything was fine, she had the utmost of faith in the pride - having only just stepped into the position she couldn't truly be the glue yet.
Continuing to follow she grew silent, but only for a moment. "I'm the leader of a pride that been part of a serious drought - something that couldn't be controlled or truly helped." Her words were strong, but had the under tone of a weakness she always felt when she spoke of it, remembering counseling Nantales fondly during the harder times. Ah Nantales. Her thoughts rested on her friend a moment before she continued once again.
"Then, we were granted rain, plenty of it! It filled every crevice of our once dried lands, but so much so that we were flooded. Many things were washed away with the rains, including myself and likely many others."
A sigh escaped her, her shoulders drooped and she became a sorry sight.

It took it a moment to sink in, her family was a pride, she was the leader of said pride. He was truly stunned for a moment, how could someone who didnt even know where he came from, what had happened to his parents or siblings end up in the company of a beautiful, pride leader?
The gods humor truly baffled him sometimes.
He instantly noticed the change in her, and found himself turning himself to walk in front of her, facing her while walking backwards to the hidden gem of water he was bringing her to.
He lightly bumped her muzzle with his own, "Hey, whats this about hmm?" He smiled, while trying to keep in memory how soft she was. "This might be a bit...forward considering you are so beyond my realm of dreams. But I see no reason for this, you are a strong, beyond beautiful, and it seems to me like you've picked yourself up, and your pride must be mourning the loss of their queen." He knew that he would be at a loss when they parted ways, he highly doubted he'd ever meet another to compare or would even come close to be compared. "Though we've only known each other for a short time, your like the drought and the rain, flooding my senses and burning me up, drying me of any coherent thought outside of you."
He stepped out of her path, spinning himself back to the correct direction. "The spring isnt to much further."

Shauku didn't glance up right away - instead she wallowed in her own self-pity for a few moments longer, each paw step seemed to drag along the dusty ground. Then she noticed that the paws ahead of her turned direction and she was faced with gold and blue eyes staring to hers. The dark lioness blushed lightly, but when he stayed staring towards her a small grin began to grew on her maw.
His muzzle reached hers in what felt like slow motion and what was likely a short touch felt like it would be there for a lifetime. Then she listened as he spoke and her blush deepened with each word. Shauku was amused by the progression of their conversation and found a second wave of confidence. "You're so sweet, Vilsen." Her eyes blazed again. "Those are the kindest words I have heard in a long while." She followed his movements closely, watching each fluid motion.
"Oh good, I feel so warm."

He grinned to himself at her words, at least she wouldnt forget about him easily once she was home.
The cluster of boulders were just before them, it was a random and out of place rock formation, and he slipped through the cracks of it, following what seemed to be a maize until it opened up to a wide spring that seemed to appear, and disappear back under the sands.
"Coldest water you'll find in the middle of nowhere." He said motioning for her to drink her fill.
He stood back, his eyes resting on her, once more painting her into his memory.
"Shauku." He spoke only her name for a moment.
"I am a lost boy, from the Roguelands
And I promise you'll never be lonely.
Believe in you and believe in me
Together we will find our way back to
To your beautiful destiny
You are my perfect story book."

The dark lioness followed freely - not questioning a single step, nor hesitating in his presence. She felt levels of amazing that she was sure she wouldn't see again as she listened to his words.
Making a pleased sound she step forward from the maze and dipped her head to take in a deep drink. Lifting her head and finishing the water left in her mouth she made a deep sighing sound. He had been right, the water was absolutely cold and almost startled her senses. It certainly quenched any thirst she had.
Lifting her eyes to the male, she noted how his eyes stared at her. They seemed to be glued to her, something she wouldn't be able to get used to, not like this. Then he spoke again and the words caused a blush that she was sure would never cease. "Oh Vilsen.." Her eyes dropped to the water briefly, seeing a rippled image of herself - she looked ragged and beat, but still lively. This was thanks to the lion before her.
"Would you come with me?"
She paused after the words. Let them sink in slightly.
