Welcome to Gaia! ::

A grown, ash-pelted male made his way back over to Pride Rock, having basked in the sun for much too long already. "I hate heat..." he muttered to himself. He spotted a small figure from afar and grunted somewhat annoyed. He passed by her and cocked his brow. "You know it's too hot out here right about now. It isn't advisable to sit out in the open." Kazi had said this in a rather gruff, uncaring voice. It wasn't as though it was his fault it was frustratingly hot...

He smirked and looked up at the sky, his ears twitching slightly every so often. "Kazi, pleased to meet you," he replied, a bit more decently this time. "So...Rehani was it? What makes you think that it'll rain in the middle of the afternoon on a hot day like this?" he asked, eyes wandering down to meet the lioness's. "Just hoping, I'm assuming?"

Kazi tilted his head slightly when she looked back up him, but quickly shrugged it off. Just a curious look he assumed. "I was out since earlier this morning by the waterhole. Sat a little too long out in the sun because I fell asleep, now I want some shade." He shook his head and sighed. "My head kinda hurts...probably from the heat too..." He looked around him to see if the land was really...dying, as she had said. "I think these lands are well enough on their own. You ought to worry more about yourself."

"I got caught up in a conversation with you, that's why," he retorted with an amused smirk. "You should get some shade too. I think your cubs would worry about you if you get heat-stroke or something..." he went on to say. Kazi usually didn't mind other people's business, but it was almost like being put up against the sun itself if you stayed out in the heat. "Can't you hope for rain in the shade?"

"Any place with shade," he responded simply. It was true too, he didn't care where it was within the lands, as long as it was in the shade. "Mmm, maybe somewhere near Pride Rock would be fine." Kazi turned and continued walking, though his pace at the moment was slow to give Rehani some time to catch up with him. "C'mon, let's go before we fry even more."

Kazi thought a moment before answering her inquiry. "I was born in the pride lands, but then I became a rogue...and then I came back. I'm going to settle here in the pride lands now," he responded. The male wasn't too sure how to answer the question since he had been a pridelander once before he was a rogue...so where he came from was a little hazy. "And you?"

Kazi and shook his head. "It would, but then again, if I lived the same life I wouldn't say it's all that boring. I'm sure you've had some fun over the years." The male walked into the shade once they had neared Pride Rock, a relieved look on his face. "I love this huge boulder," he mused, "It's the best place to go to for shade."
