 *With a soft sigh the lean lioness rested herself within the long grasses of the opened lands along a near by waterhole. She didn’t worry about anything else around her- life was much to short to spend her days in worry. She was carefree and moved with the wind. With a soft yawn she rolled her oddly colored body over and gazed up at skies above her with deep narrowed eyes.
Yellow strands of hair covered her left eye as she lay still, embracing the winds as the passed her. Faye sad nothing she simply rested and relaxed… she had nothing to worry about after all, no place to be. This was the price of being free. Last night Faye had run into her sister Azra for the first time in years... seeing her again made Faye feel… different. Her sister had cubs and a mate, everything was changing… soon she would have to change too, just to keep up with her sibling.*

Jini had decided earlier that day to request the company of his mother for a little trip. He was a fully grown adolocent, sure, but the prospect of wandering on his own was not an appealing one, not yet. He was still too shy and trusting for his own good, according to Kwana, so he needed to make an effort to have more faith in his own abilities. While he had ventured out of the pridelands once or twice before, it had only been about a mile away at most. With his exciteable mother for company he figured he could go a little farther.
And Adanna, being easily bored staying at home, jumped at the idea at once. And while she was overly cheerful for the past few days, because she knew she and Nukta would probably start adventuring again once they settled family matters, she was happy to comply to her son's wishes. Currently she loped again, energy radiating from her confident step. It was almost strange to see Jini trotting along behind with a sheepish bow of his head.
Her ears perked slightly as her eyes caught a sight not far away in the distance. "Look, Jini!" She said with a wide grin, "There's a watering hole up ahead!" Never able to get enough of those pleasent spots, she raced forward.

*The grown female rested for a while before pulling herself up from the dry earth. Her bright green eyes narrowed softly as she sat herself up right and moved her left paw up to clean it. As she did this her head bobbed back and forth slowly. She took her time in keeping herself in tip-top shape, Faye would never let herself go. With a soft mew she stretched and yawned before setting off to the waterhole. After a long day of doing nothing, a good drink was most defiantly a must.
Trotting over to the water’s edge she sat herself down and grinned at the water’s refection. Faye was very vain and she knew it too- Jerking her head back slowly she flipped her long yellow mane out of her left eye for a moment so that she could see well. She beamed at herself and laughed. It was a nice day- pity she wasted it like she did. In her mind she had the right to, it was too hot to do anything! With a soft smile she bent herself down and took a long drink form the sun warmed waters before pulling back and standing still. Her ears softly pulled backwards as the sent of another passed her wet nose.*

Jini quickly hurried after his energetic mother who had bounded off ahead. Where did she get all that energy? He smiled and shook his head, unable to resist his mother's playful charm and he relaxed. It was hard to be uptight with Adanna around. He was able to pause at the bank, since his mother plowed into the water and splashed every which way with a delighted cry. In doing so something bright caught his eye. Turning his head curiously, a bit of mane falling in his face, he saw a lioness drinking from the watering hole. He swallowed, his ears flickering back slightly and he felt immeditately humbled by her beautiful appearance. He had never seen someone who looked quite like that before. He quickly turned his eyes away before he could be said to be staring and called gently to his mother, "Mom....I think we have company."

*At the sudden appearance of two others Faye slowly drew herself back of the water’s edge. She frowned softly as the female played within the waterhole… like a small cub would. Faye could never do that- she would never dirty her perfectly kept pelt. With a soft smirk she sighed and sat herself, eyeing the female softly. She seemed happy though, that had to count for something? Tilting her head to the side as the young male spoke Faye laughed to herself. This is his mother- She seemed so youthful and carefree!
Eyeing over at the young male now she gave him a soft smile before licking at one of her paws. A few drops of water had hit it when the female jumped into the water… so Faye would fix that. After tending to her cleaning the oddly colored lioness spoke out to the young male, her tone was soft and carefree.*
“To be fair... I was here first.”
*She winked, before smiling back at the lioness he called mom.*
“She seems happy.”
*The lioness added softly.*

Jini flushed under his fur in embaressment, for her comment was correct, not that he had meant to imply otherwise. He ducked his head slightly, offering a sheepish an apollogetic smile, "Ah...of course. Forgive me." He glanced towards his mother, both as an excuse to look away from the female without seeming rude and to answer her quetion, "Ah...yes...she's easily amused, I suppose."
Adanna stopped her swimming at her son's call. She cocked her head, mild skeptisism reflected on her face. She then turned slightly, dripping wet, to see the other lioness not far away. Her eyes narrowed in puzzlement, finding her coat extremely odd, but it was quickly dismissed, "Why hello there!"

“Mmm, nothing to forgive.”
*The lioness laughed softly. He seemed well, so she wouldn’t take offence to anything that he said. As he spoke about his mother Faye found herself smiling softly. She remained her of her sister. When Azra was happy she acted in a similar manner.*
“Hah, I can see.”
*It was nice really, seeing a mother and her son together. Usually at this age the offspring would have left the parent. Faye flipped her hair out of her let eye again before glancing back to the female within the waters. At her words Faye smiled and replayed.*
“Hello!- enjoying yourself?”

Jini relaxed a little when her attention shifted to his mother. His insides squirmed with his shy nature...and it was at times like this he wished the sick feeling was non-existant. But there was little he could so. So he remained where he was, casting his gaze from the female to his mother with sheepish curiousity, staying attentive to the conversation.
Adanna grinned smugly, her attitude quite the opposite of her son. "With a watering hole like this? Of course I am!" She replied with feeling, as though it was obvious. She was the type of person who throught of water as a treasure...mainly because the first days of her life were out in the hot, dry desert.

“Mmm, I don’t know. I’d rather not think about being within those waters- you can never tell what lives in them.”
*Faye purred as she smiled softly at the mother at play. It seemed as though everyone around her was happily mated and had a lovely family at toe. She felt a soft pain hit her chest as she let this thought pass her- would she ever feel like her sister did… or this new lioness did? Being a mother… was that really the best feeling in the world? She didn’t know, but wouldn’t ask. Softly she smiled over at the young male and spoke.*
“She is a live-wire. huh?”

"Bahhh, there's nothing in here I can't handle," Ada scoffed with good-natured disagreement. She wasn't afraid of anything lurking in the water. She rolled her shoulders in a shrug at the other lioness and resumed her clumsy swimming. She had never been the graceful type.
Jini gave a soft smile, "Yeah...she sure is." Actually, the young male was in a similar boat as Faye. It seemed everyone in the pridelands was pairing up now-a-days...His best friend had a mate, his sister did and she was even having cubs! It made him feel like he had missed something or was just plain stupid for not being able to take part in what was going on. It wasn't so much that he wanted a lover, it was just he felt out of the loop. He felt like everyone was leaving him behind.

*Faye smiled softly and laughed, before speaking again.*
“Oye, what is your name?”
*She called out to the youthful mother before eyeing back at her son.*
“And yours?”
*In all truths she was not much of the social type, but it couldn’t hurt to get to know them, it wasn’t like she needed someone to talk to, it was just nice… friendly conversation. Her wide neon eyes softly passed over the young male’s form as she glanced up at the sky for a moment, as if getting lost within a thought or dream before snapping back into reality.*
“My name is Faye’ta.”

"Ah...Jini..." He answered lamely. As if understanding it sounded stupid he offered a dorky smile, closing his white and black masked eyes. "You've...a very pretty name. I-it suits you, I think." His sweet talking probably only made him seem even more silly, since the way he said it was genuine and deffinately not the typical sort of response from a male.
"I'm Adanna, Ada's fine," his mother called over her shoulder. She was bent down inthe water, pawing at some fish with open claws. She could never catch any...not in all her years of trying. But she sure seemed to have fun trying...either that or she liked being frustrated.

“Oh, thank you...”
*Faye blushed slightly at the young male's comment. He was very kind, and the bright eyed female liked that. Shifting her weight she stood up and slowly pranced over to him, sitting a bit closer to him, though not close enough to make him feel uncomfortable. Faye wouldn’t bother his mother, she looked to be enjoying herself.*
"So Jini, are you and your mother from around here? I do not think I have seen you before."
*The lioness questioned with a faint smile.*

Jini seemed mildly surprised that she came to sit beside him and it was rather obvious by the rapid blink of his green eyes and the slight parting of his mouth. He still, perhaps out of habit, expected his mother to be the center of attention. She usually demanded it indirectly and it just seemed to sort of...happen that way. She was a very interesting person and drew others to her. He was far to shy for such a thing, or at least he thought so.
"Ah...uh...no, we're not. We were just out for a sort of...walk I guess," He felt his stomach twist at his poor skills of explaining. Gifted with words he was not, though he was gifted with the honesty it seemed, "We're...from the Pridelands I mean...ah...yes so we're not really...familiar with the area." He finished with a sheepish release of breath. That had sounded rather stupid but...it could have been worse.

“Pridelands?”
*Faye questioned softly, cocking her head to the side. She had never heard of such a place, so this new information seemed to tickle at her interest.*
“That sounds interesting, what’s like there?”
*She asked with kind eyes, beaming at him brightly. Her tail flicked from side to side as she sat up straight, making herself seem bigger then she was. She wanted to know about his home, yet knowing that he didn’t the rouge lands well... Faye wanted to show him them. She was torn.*
“Hey, follow me... okay?"
