"Come on you."
*Kujack called, moving himself closer to the water hole. His envy colored orbs softly narrowed as he turned to the tiny cub, making a face at him- mocking him. Oh how Jack loved to mess with Ger. Wrinkling up his nose the male stopped and sat himself down, making sure to stay out of the mud that was covering the edges of the water hole.
For weeks now it had been Jack and Ger, Ger and Jack- this cub even called him father, dad- what the hell did Jack get himself into anyway? Eyeing over at Ger he smirked and stuck his tongue out.*

"I'm coming..."
Ger followed close behind the leopard, returning his own faces to his. The two continued their mocking face battle as they walked. When Kujack stopped, Ger stopped beside him, mimicking his posture. He has been with the male for so long that he adopted his posture and habits. Strange, huh?
When Kujack stuck his tongue out Ger flinched, "Oh real mature, Dad." In response to his taunt, he stuck out his tongue.

Aysha wandered aimlessly around some lands she had never really seen before. Her son had gone off somewhere and she found herself alone once again. She couldn't find any of her friends, and so she had decided that she'd occupy herself by traveling around. And so, eventually, she wound up around a random watering hole.
As she walked closer, she noticed that there were two others by the water's edge. There was a leopard and a rather small lion cub. Tilting her head slightly, she wondered what they could be doing. She had never seen quite a pair, and she was rather intrigued. However, she was very nervous about strangers and wasn't so sure that she would be able to handle the two.
Nonetheless, curiousity drove her closer and pretty soon she was walking past the watering hole nonchalantly, pretending as if she didn't notice the two and was instead focused on something else.
It was a test of sorts, both to see what they would do and if they were dangerous or friendly.

"Heh."
*With a yawn Jack found himself looking up and with a light jump he popped to his paws. A lioness had just found her way to water hole- spineless Jack moved back before stopping in his place. What if she wanted to take Ger from him? Moving back up Jack pushed his paws in front of the cub and stood still, eyeing her lightly. What the hell was he doing? Jack couldn’t fight… but he was defending Ger? Oh ********- he was doomed.*
"Mmm, can we help you?"
*He asked, trying to be as kind as he could. He didn't want to step on anyone's toes.*

Ger flinched when Kujack moved about. What was going on? He has never acted this way the entire time the two been together.
"D-dad? What's wrong?"
he called, a little frightened. He stuck his head around the leopard's leg and noticed a lionesses not to far away.
"D-dad!"
he shouted before tucking himself behind him again. Ger wasn't so great with strangers, the lions he have met were usually cubs and the adults he did know were from his own Pride. His body seemed to shiver behind the leopard.

Aysha's ears flicked back and towards the sound of the leopard's voice. Her whole head followed soon after so that she might get a good look of the two.
"Hm? Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I was just passing through. I hope I didn't disturb you two?" she asked sweetly, appearing as innocent and harmless as possible. She had noticed the little cub and had noticed the way that he appeared very scared at the sight of her. He had also called the leopard his dad. Was that even possible?
"Sorry to have caused trouble. I'll be going now, if you wish." And with that she turned about, acting as if to leave. But she moved slow enough that the leopard could have easily called her back.

*Lacing his paws along Ger Jack sat back and sighed, before moving himself to recap on his actions. What the hell- was he nuts? The lioness did nothing wrong- frowning Kujack spoke again, his tone a bit more welcoming.*
"You don’t have to leave. We were just sitting. It’s a free water hole you know?"
*He wasn’t really good with conversation with a lioness… due to the fact that he had never really had one before. Cocking his head to the side Jack eyed her slowly before snapping his eyes away. Wouldn’t want to be rude now eh? Moving Ger to his side Jack sat back down, his arch straight and head high. He was thin and a bit on the lanky side, but he seemed be well groomed.*

Ger was still a cub, and what cubs do when frightened and comforted by those it trusts, it sleeps. Ger's eyes felt a little tired lately, but he tried to keep the opened. When Kujack moved him closer he felt so tired. The little lion cub laid down and kept his head up to show some respect.
"D-dad...I'm gonna....take a....nap."
he yawned as he rested his head on his paws. Feeling a little cold he moved himself under Kujack to protect himself from the cold. Ger started to purr from the leopard's warmth. It would seem he had also forgotten Kujack's..."limits". Oh well, he was tired and it was the only place.

Aysha stopped for a moment and craned her neck around to peer back at the leopard. She noticed that he was thin but very protective of the cub that lay at his side. This brought a warm smile to her face. This cat reminded her a little bit of herself, back when she had just had her one and only son. Possibly unable to protect but still willing to.
Turning back around, the lioness walked slowly back to the watering hole. Acting innocent and graceful, she lowered her head and took a nice, long drink from the hole.
"Thank you," she said quietly, after she had finished quenching her thirst.
Glancing back up at him, she blinked once or twice. "My name is Aysha, if it matters any." She glanced down at the cub for a moment, but figured that it wasn't her place to inquire anything about the relation. So instead she merely sat down and looked at her reflection in the water.

*Moving himself from Ger he softly placed his tail over the cub, while still keeping a safe distance from him. Odd how he worked- protecting the cub one minute then trying not to be touched by it the next. Lacing his paws along one another, something he picked up from his mother the male sat and eyed the lioness. Something about her movement seemed odd to him.
Cocking his head to the side Jack stopped his gaze and perked his ears at her words. Aysha- Mmm. Maybe all lionesses looked this lovely and had nice names to go with? Jack wouldn’t know- this was a first for him. Shifting himself to the side he spoke, eyeing her as she gazed down at the water.*
"Well... Aysha, I am Kujack and that’s Ger."

Aysha smiled warmly at the leopard as she glanced over at him again. "It's nice to meet you Kujack. And..." She glanced down at the little cub again, only to find him sleeping soundly with the leopard's tail curled around the little guy. Yet again she was reminded of herself with her son. But thinking of her son made her heart ache, so she forced herself not to think about it.
Frowning with her thoughts, she turned her gaze back to her relfection.
"Anyways... sorry again if I disturbed you or... Ger."

"Hah, don’t worry about it. No harm done- Ger was disturbed way before you came along."
*The leopard laughed tapping his tail along the sleeping Ger. His eyes followed the female’s movements for a bit, before he found words to speak again.*
"You out here alone then eh?"
*He asked with a cocked head, his paws pushing to the ground as he unlaced with. His indigo markings and half of his coat couldn’t be seen from the way he was sitting, only his white chest was visible.*

Aysha knew that the leopard was just trying to be funny, but she wasn't exactly fond of his joke. At first she had thought that he cared about the little lion cub, but now she was having second guesses and she wasn't happy about it. To show it, she pretended like she didn't get the joke, tilting her head and giving him this sort of clueless look.
When he asked his next question, she suddenly became guarded. Why would that be one of the first things that he would think of asking?
"Yes... I am alone," she said cautiously, her muscles tensing just in case the leopard wanted to try anything funny. She had her fair share of events to make her distrustful of most others.

"Oh."
*Jack didn’t think she was, or else he wouldn’t have asked. Eyeing her down he made sure not to let himself say any too witty, she seemed to play the fool when he did. Frowning slightly Jack gazed back down at Ger and smiled slightly. He loved the cub- he just had a different way of showing it. The male didn’t say anything else... he felt he had already messed up with this conversation.*

Ger kicked out with his paw and hit Kujack's leg. Instantly, Ger awoke and immediatly started to straighten out the leopard's fur. Sort of became a habit when he was the one who messed it up. "S-sorry, Kujack." he said. Ger wasn't the one to apologize for everything he did wrong, or thought was wrong, but with Kujack that changed. Ever since the two met, the cub has changed.
He looked up to see Kujack smiling at him, a rare gesture. Ger returned a confused expression, "I got something on me? My cow-" he looked up to see that his cowlick was indeed up. To be expected since it is almost always. Ger left the comfort of Kujack's protection to fix it himself, the leopardmust've gotten tired of doing it himself. Ger had to ask him how he does it.
It would seem that through his nap he had forgotten the lioness.
