He was nervous but it had to be done and not just for himself. No. Amari wanted to join the pride to prove to Maawio he was dedicated, to show her that he maent to keep his promise this time.
He wanted to be there when his boy grew up, wanted to share the rest of his life with his golden mate. He wanted to be a true father and by joining the pride he would be able to do this, or so he hoped.
He swallowed nervously and moved slowly towards Pride Rock where he assumed the old King would be. It was strange that in all the time Amari had been here he had never once spoken to Mufasa or even Sarbi though he had meant to. He decided that it was mainly fear that made him this way for he was nothing but a rogue who just so happened to fall in love with a lioness from this very pride. Oh how long ago that seemed now! Yet despite everything he had been through he was still a young and capable adult who had a great heart and want to make Maawio happy.
He drew closer now to the rock which towered above him as if trying to make him back off. Luckily the place was strangely quiet and after a moment the adult lion raised his head and gave a low whuff, his sides jerking as he uttered the sound that was meant only to let his presence be known.

((To save him from always being asleep when people approach, I shall have his mind occupied today. Else everyone will think poor Muffy is a louse xd ))
-Mufasa's slow pace had been going on for awhile now, long enough to be upseting to anyone else that might be looking on to the king with curiousity. However his mind was too torn in thought to cast any of his mind on what 'people might think'. He'd done what he could do.. had already sent out a few of the lioness and his daughter's douting familar in search of her.. but reguardless his mind worried.
He didn't think she was leaving forever.. as some of her other siblings had.. in fact over the past few months she'd seemed to finally embrace the fact of the responsibility that was to be cast onto her shoulders soon enough. It was more a worry for the land she was in. She certain wasn't an able hunter or fighter.. and with her golden color traveling alone through the Firekin territory was something of a death wish.
Why had she been so foolish!? -His paws were being to stomp in his pace, however as the soft sound of pressence touched the air he stopped abrutly. Ears turning forward he tried to find the cause of the sound. Someone on the rock? Or perhaps someone below.
Sighing heavily, a motion that let some of the worry and aggression slip from him, he made his way to the edge of the rock, trying to hunt out the source of the sound.-

(( we all luff Muffy <3 *fluffs his big pretty mane* ))
Amari had been making his way slowly up to the rock as Mufasa emerged and quickly tried to gain some sort of respectful composure. He made a small bow of his head and averted his eyes a little.
He had never known Mufasa in his early days but he knew that age was slowly beginning to catch up with the old King and despite the fact he didn't know the lion personally it did in fact make him sad. The pride was large and a great success and it would be a terrible loss the day that this great lion laid his head to rest for the final time.
"Your Majesty." He spoke, daring to raise his eyes to meet those of the kindly old King. "I'm sorry to bother you, especially on such a peaceful day, but I made a promise you see..." Well no the king probably didn't. How was he to know who Amari even was?
"I'm...I'm Maawio's mate...Amari and...and I thought it about due time to ask you for your permission to stay here and become a member of the pride. Officially." He swallowed and fell silent. Ugh he was making a fool of himself.

-Eyeing the sienna colored male that approached, he nodded a soft greeting in return, before stepping back a little to allow the male to approach more comfortably.-
"It's not a bother at all." -Taking his mind off of worrisome things was actually more of a blessing then anything. And the calm appearance of the male more then likely meant that he wasn't approaching him for any pressing, worring business.-
-His ears perked softly as the familar name touched his ears, and in his mind he could see the golden cub once again. Certainly she wasn't a cub anymore, but being one of the earliest members of the pride, a soft shiver of nostalgia touched him. She'd found a male and mated had she?
He gazed over Amari for a long moment, almost as a father would have, before finally nodding simply to himself. If she'd choosen him, then she'd likely had a good reason, and he seemed nice enough from the greeting.
Finally speaking, he gave a broad smile, a tiny bit of a laugh touching his throat to try and sooth the large male before him.- "Maawio's mate eh? I've known her since she was a young one huddled along Wingu's side. You're a very lucky lion Amari."
"She's a quite capable and lovely young lioness." -Mind turning to his question he kept him in suspense a little longer, offering a question of his own.- "Did Maawio travel out of the Pridelands? Or have you been staying here for awhile?"

"Yes sir." He smiled, glad to talk about something he was knowledgeable in. "Very lucky indeed, sometimes I can't believe that she chose with me and stayed with me all this time." He looked suddenly a little bashful. "We met as juveniles but I came and went, still had the adventuring bug yah see." He laughed a little, growing more confident in the presence of the other male.
Then with a shake of his head he sat down too, letting the sun roll over him with a warmth that made him feel quite comfortable.
"She's the best hunter I've ever seen and she has a calmness about her that could tame the most ferocious of beasts." He nodded, almost staring dreamily off into the sky. It was quite clear that he loved her, but within all the love he had made mistakes. He had hurt her.
Mufasa's last question would deal with this he supposed.
The smile slipped from his face to be replaced with one much more serious. "She was going to Sir. Once upon a time. When we were young. She said she wanted to be an adventurer and a rogue to leave behind the memories of her mother's death and everything else. She even crossed the border! But something in her heart changed and in the end she knew she could never leave the pride she loved." He stared down at his rusty-coloured paws. "I thought I'd never see her again, but in the end I put the life of roguedom behind me and decided to settle with her. I won't lie sir, I've been here a while, though I did leave to go speak with a friend when Maawio and I had...had our argument." His eyes darted nervously and he coughed, shaking his head once more.
"B-but that's all behind us now and we want to make a new start. I made a promise to her that I'd approach you and ask. So...here I am." He put on another smile, though this one a little more nervous than the one before.

-He listened softly, a smile touching his maw at the familar loving words flowing from the male as he talked about his mate. Mufasa was just the same, and if allowed would pour on for hours on just how wonderful his mate Sarabi was. Luckily for Amari however, he kept his mind onto the business ahead, stilling his fluttering thoughts to his own mind.
The rest of the story faded his smile, more to a look of pondering, his golden ears set forward to hear each word as he made his decision. He didn't have to mull over it for very long though, and he gave a firm nod ruffling his mane lightly.- "I see..."
"If you've lived here all this time and no problems have occured, then that is a good sign that your presence won't be any trouble on the pride. And with Maawio around to teach you the ways of the Pridelands, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be allowed to join the pride."
-Musing a little softly, he continued.- "Besides, it'd be a shame to lose Maawio, or leave her heart broken on our soil. So the only responsible decision is to let you stay."
-Settling himself onto the ground finally, he let his tail flick back and forth as he settled upon his decision.- "Welcome to the pride Amari" -Chuckling he narrowed his eyes as he teased the other male.- "That being said you'd better take care of little Maawio. We don't look kindly onto those who hurt our own."

He released a held breath and one could visibly see the tension unwinding from his muscles as Mufusa gave his answer. He could finally consider himself to be a Pridelander? This was...this was perfect! He would have hugged the old king if that had been his style but instead he simply nodded graciously.
"Thank you. Really." His words were filled with joy, "you don't know how happy you've made me and Maawio." Well he was almost sure Maawio would be happy. She seemed to have forgiven him for his mistake and now that he was a true member of the pride he could finally fulfill the promises that he had made.
"Oh and of course Sir! I'll make very sure that she's happy!" He smiled, "I must say I never ever thought I'd be joining a pride. I was one of those adventurous types who enjoyed his freedom very much. Strange how much something like love can change a person." He chuckled, "I guess subconciously I was always searching for a place to call home." He paused as he re-called the first moment he had met Maawio. "When I looked into those big, blue eyes I could see home in them, though I didn't realise it at the time."
"This place...this place is unlike any other. And I'm not just saying that. It truly is home."

-A soft purr rumbled through his large mass as Amari's obvious excitement and pleasure took over the aire of the moment.
And as the other males words spilled out he listened softly, nodding at appropriate moments. Trials and tribulations of love. He was lucky in not having much to deal with those. He'd been with Sarabi for so so long. But I guess when you came in as the hero of the moment, it made all those other issues just seem so trivial.
Offering a little bit of a contented laugh he let his eyes follow the savvanah on the horizon.- "I cannot think of a more glorious place to share a life with a wonderful lioness. Or a litter of little ones."
-Dragging his eyes back he smiled once more, offering softly.- "Perhaps you should bring Maawio the good news? And my blessings of course."

His mind took him to the future and found himself bathing in the sun. Beside him was Maawio who he loved most dearly and at their paws was a grown-up Mbari and more cubs from a brand new litter. Amari could see his future ahead of him and it was as bright and beautiful as the setting sun.
"I agree, I truly agree and I respect you for bringing together such a wonderful group of lions." His words were more than genuine. "As a rogue I heard talkings of this pride. Lions regard it as a safe haven, a place where you can be protected." He breathed in deeply. "I'm ashamed to say I didn't see that at first, but I do now and I will do all in my power to make sure Maawio and our son are happy here."
He stood then and bowed his head low, tresses of his mane touching against the rock beneath his paws. "Thank you your majesty." And with that he backed up a few paces before turning and dashing away. He had to go tell his Sunshine the news.

-Nodding with a soft touch of pride at the compliment, Mufasa gave a silent goodbye as he watched the male leave. Part of the reason the pride was so safe was because of the mass amount of families that littered the land.
Whenever trouble came up a silent urge within people would call them to action, to protect their own cubs wellbeing, even in the cases when it wasn't their own cub in immediate danger. Sighing wistfully he let his eyes settle upon the horizon with a soft feeling of contentment. He was glad this place was here too.-
