Fedha'Kialio moved slowly toward the forest ahead, his heart beating slightly faster than usual. How long had it been since he was last in these lands? He would not go in far... he knew very well that he was not allowed in them. But his heart was aching for them, aching for the past. He moved along the border, just inside the trees, until he came to a rock that had served him many calming days. He lept onto the flat, large surface and chuckled softly to himself. It used to be bigger. I used to be smaller. He sat himself down, steely eyes floating over the scenes around him. He was tall and lanky, and had a slight muscly build to him. Though he sat in a fasion very simular to a lioness, and not a lion.
"Does Ausi miss this place?" His tail flicked and curled about his paws and he shrugged his shoulders, sighing slightly.

 She followed wherever her nose took her and the last place she really thought of running near was her old homeland. No one would know of her here, but it was still odd to be close to something that was familiar and yet alien at the same time.
The dark blue lioness prowled along side a few rocks, trying to keep old memories and weak emotions at bay. This definately put her at a disadvantage. So much of one that she barely caught the scent of a lion resting nearby. She was automatically on the defensive with a low growl, her hackles up and the fur at her shoulders standing on end. "Who's there?"

Fedha's left ear flickered and slowly he looked around. He spotted the female and snorted. "Just another phantom." He said slowly. She didn't smell strongly of 'home', so she must have been visiting as well. He was in an uncharacteristically good mood today, though it would probably end up dying soon.
"Why do you need to know those around you... why not live forgetting they are there?" He breathed out, letting his gaze go back to the sky. Living in a world alone might be better than living in this world, was what he meant.

Another lion. It seemed the males out-populated the females or she was just having the dumber section of luck. She turned her head upwards, in the general direction his voice and scent came from. Her light teal eyes were glazed over and no light shined in them. "You never know what kind of dangers lurk in the darkness. Better to know you face an imbecile than the plague."
She flicked her black tail and made move as if to dismiss him completely. The last thing she really wanted was a battle of the wits too close to something she never had.

Fedha's eyes narrowed slightly and he just smirked. He'd never met a blind lion before. "Ah but sometimes the plague is a more favorable option to face." He spat out, slightly sarcastic and slightly serious. He'd take the plague over an idiot on most days.
"But that is just me, you know." He watched her still. Oh, was she done with him already? That was a bore.

So perhaps he wasn't a loss like that mute lion. She turned her head slightly, trying to puzzle him out. Perhaps this would indeed be worth a small chat. "It's the idiots of the world that break down those who are strong. They soil the bloodlines and cause a greater beings to turn weak."
Her mother had been one of those idiots. Yet somehow, she had turned out more than anyone had dreamed. She had won against her "disability." She managed to get most of her goals accomplished. But it was better that stupidity was wiped clean from the realm. "Perhaps, I can spend some of my time conversing with you."

He hadn't run into anyone intelligent in many days. This seemed like a good time to sharpen his thinking skills. "And that, my dear, is why I'd rather face the plague than the morons of the land. I would never want them infecting my intelligence." He smirked and he continued to sit, eyes remaining on her.
"That so?" He rolled his eyes and laughed, though he thought it was amusing and wasn't offended. "My name is Fedha'Kialio." He didn't ask for her name, he almsot didn't care. She could give it to him only if she chose to.

She had never been one to give her name it. It was too long for most and if she only gave one, the it didn't seem fitting enough. So she elected to keep her identy quiet unless otherwise requested. She placed a paw on one of the rocks and slowly made her way up where he was perched. She'd rather be seen on equal level than beneth. "The plague was terrible enough to live through. I'd rather not end up with another mark from it. Idiots are easier to remove. You learn to manipulate them to what you want from them."

Fedha smirked and raised his eyebrows. "Pardon, I was born after the plague so I know not it's horrors." He shrugged his slim shoulders, an action she could not see. And he was already learning to manipulat certain idiots, but if he could choose he'd rather not deal with them at all. "Yes but more often than not I seem to run into very untolerable ones. A pity, but I don't ever stay long around them." His tail flickered and his eyes danced along his old homelands. "You don't live here." It wasn't a question, he could smell that she was not from this place. At least, not living in it. "Where do you live?"

"You don't live here." It sat there in her mind echoing around in the empty feeling her homeland had started to create deep within her. She didn't live here anymore, this was true. She never had lived here. "Home is whatever shade I rest under. Home is under the great sky, moon, and stars. There is no definate place I call home."
She snorted at her own words. They were just more colorful then she tended to be. Keeping true to her nature she smirked. "This was never home and I don't tend to keep one. Why would anyone want to stay tied down to some land? I think only fools would want to return to something they never had or even try to have something that wasn't theirs to begin with. Besides, I'd rather run into different lions than the same old morons."

Fedha smirked and sighed. He'd forgotten for a moment that she was blind, that there had been no way for her to see how extraordinarily beautiful this land once had been. Still could be. "I haven't been here since I was a cub." He said simply, and then chuckled. "I suppose it is rather foolish for me to yearn for this place though..." His tail flicked. "But certainly not the lions in it."
He realized he was very happy traveling around with Ausi, but he knew she was growing restless. She certainly wanted a homeland.

Monifa twisted an ear back at his comment on how he hadn't been there since he was a cub. So he was young. Much younger than herself probably and yet capable of thinking his thoughts out so well. Her voice was low, almost a whisper, "It's not completely foolish..." Hadn't she, herself, been found wandering just outside of what was once called home? No one would remember her, though few might no her mother.
But they had tossed her out. Who needed them anyways? It would just be an act of sympathy if they took her in now. Her desire, more than anything, was to take something from another, remove those who were unworthy and build anew. A plot was forming in her head. "So hard to find a place to settle down without having a few village idiots. And even so, you end up on the very bottom or insignificant section of the totem pole."

Fedha smirked and nodded. "This place had gotten bad anyhow. If you were not royalty or friends with the royalty you were being kicked out." He sounded disgusted in that. "I'm not interested in pride life any more. I just liked this place for it's beauty..." He trailed off, not bothering to say the obvious. That beauty and ugliness obviously could never affect her.
Ausi wanted them in a pride. He couldn't believe it... mostly because he didn't want to go into some stupid pride. She said it was near an ocean... a huge pool of water. He sighed slightly, wondering if he'd actually let himself be whipped by Ausi. He didn't think about it long... he'd follow her to the ends of the earth though still not realizing why.

She nodded her head in agreement. "They were weeding things out when I was born." The plague had caused several families to be tossed out in hopes it would spread faster. It was a common, though stupid, action when it came to an illness. How she had come off with just blindness was beyond her, but neither did she care.
"Yes, this place was once more beautiful. I saw it with young eyes before it vanished in the distance." A long ago memory of when she still had sight, but nothing much from that. To her, the place was still as it had been in her mind's eye.
Her face changed from being calm and collective to absolute annoyance. Her mouth was in a constant sneer and she snorted loudly. "Enough of this walk down memory lane. It's a childish thing to want what is never yours. You either take it, make it, or live without."

Ah, so she wasn't blind all her life. And she had seen its beauty. So how could she stay away from it for so long? He guessed it didn't matter. This would be his last trip here until he was perminantly away from these lands.
His ears flattened into the floof on his head as suddenly she changed, her voice and facial expression changed. It made his skin tingle and his stomach turn, but he continued to stare at her with a stoney expression.
"I suppose then I would live without." He managed to reply, calmly enough. Though he was on edge now and wanted to leave.
