A white paw pushed sand to one side. The owner of this white paw was extremely bored.
Mufasa gave a sigh and walked away from his 'home' to find something to do. Life without rules was certainly boring.
Chocolate colored eyes roamed the area in front of the young lion as he glanced from one area to the other. No one in sight, or so he thought. His lazy eyes never picked up anything.
"Blah," he said with a sigh. Today was extremly hot and deathly boring.
The lion cub didn't care where he was going. He would find his way back eventually. He sat where he was suddenly, thinking up something to do for the time being.

Laying in the shadow of a tree Damu tried his best to relax. He had just chased a couple of zebras for the excitement, but had quickly decided that he wasn't hungry at all. His eyes were closed and his body relaxed and he could feel a small breeze making his mane move.
Moments later something caught his attention in the wind and he sat up and put his nose in the air trying to figure out what it was. Years of training had taught this lion to recognize what the wind brought with it, and this was no exception. It appeared a cub was nearby, probably alone. Knowing that he wasn't very good with cubs Damu decided to lay down again, trying to ignore the scent.

Mufasa sighed as he came up with nothing. He started to look around again. He turned lightly to get a better veiw of the area.
Nothing... Nothing... Nothing... Lion... Nothing...
Wait... Lion? Mufasa looked back to where he saw this lion. Another adult? He groaned inwardly. Maybe this Adult Lion new games...
The lion cub stood up again and started toward the lion. He would keep his interest for a little while... maybe. Ah well. He'd give it a shot.

Closing his eyes yet again Damu'maitho heard footsteps coming closer. He figured the cub must have seen him but probably didn't understand that it was best to leave unknown lions alone, especially if they were a lot bigger. Still he admired the cub's courage, or could it be the cub was a bit dumb? No no, he thought for himself. That was probably not the case.
The footsteps came even closer now and Damu did his best to lay as still as he could. There was still a chance the cub hadn't seen him, even if it was unlikely. His brownish red body was easy to see, unless he hid himself in some dry grass or leaves or something else of that sort.

"Excuse me... Sir..." Mufasa said, finially noticed how much bigger this male was than him. It didn't bother him too much, but the fact that he didn't know the lion well is was made his voice softer than he attended.
He sat down in front of the lion, building up a bit of courage. He waited for the older lion to acknowledge him.

Damu heard the cub speak to him but did his best to pretend to be sleeping, though it got harder as the cub sat in front of him. Damu opened one eye to take a look at the cub though. The cub was very small, just like any other, compared to him. He kept his blood red eye focused on the young one as he made up his mind and replied.
"Yes?" Damu's voice was dark and he spoke slowly as if he wasn't sure if the cub would understand him, but it was actually his way to let the young lion in front of him believe that he had been disturbed while doing something very important. Not that resting was the most important thing in the world though, Damu thought to himself, but he had still been disturbed after all.

"I'm sorry if I woke you, but I'm quite bored. You wouldn't know of any games, would you?" Mufasa said. His head was tilted lightly to the side as he spoke calmly.
Yes... He woke a giant lion to ask a question. But what can he say, no rules, no boudries. It could be fun sometimes.

While listening to the young lion speak, Damu kept his eyes on him. There was no signs of fear in his face and Damu was glad. Too many times others had feared him without reason. Sure he was big and might be considered strange since he didn't talk much, but he was actually very sweet once you knew him. Being protective was one of his best qualities.
"I don't play." he said with his dark voice, still with his eyes on the cub. He thought about sitting up instead, which probably would seem less rude. After all, he was awake now and he wasn't angry about being so. He doubted the the cub would react if he did, since it seemed to be a brave one. With his mind made up Damu sat himself up and looked down on the cub.

Mufasa tilted his head in a slight confusion. "Dont play?" He asked like it was the strangest thing in the world for an adult lion not to play.
"What do you do to entertain yourself then, if you don't play," he asked, staring up at the lion. The older lion seemed much bigger now that he was sitting up, but 'Fasa didn't mind.

Damu turned his head from the cub and looked at the herd of zebras far to the east. "I hunt." Again his answer was short and his voice dark. But then it seemed his faced softened a bit and with a somewhat smoother voice he spoke again. "It's more for the practice than the play, though." His blood red eyes were now staring into Mufasa's and what would seem to be a tense smile had now appeared in his face, though it disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

"That's all?" Mufasa asked curiously.
He had never hunted. It made him extremly curious, so he voiced his question. "Is hunting really that fun?"
He stared up the the lion as he was waiting for an answer.

Turning his head from Mufasa he looked at the hoeizon for a moment, trying to remember the last time he had played. It must have been years ago, he thought to himself, figuring it would probably have been when he was still a small cub. A sting of sorrow suddenly made him close his eyes from the memories.
A second later he had opened his eyes again and pretended nothing had happened. He looked back at Mufasa and nodded. He didn't want to speak in case his voice would break. He knew it wouldn't but decided that was a good reason to be silent.

"Well," the cub said, "If hunting's really that fun... I'll have to learn how to sometime!"
He tilted his head and started to speak again. "Where are you from?" he asked. He was quite curious. But that came with cub-hood. Most cubs were naturally curious, right?
Mufasa once again stared curiously up at the large rust colored lion.

Damu only blinked in response when the cub talked about hunting. He remembered bits of his own first hunt, but quickly closed his eyes to get the memories out. When he opened them again a second later, Mufasa had already spoken again, and Damu could see the curiousity the cub was feeling by reading his body language. The way the cub was sitting, how his eyes were glowing, the expressions in his face etc.
"A place far away." Damu said. He knew the cub would probably ask where, so he quickly added the answer before the question was asked. "It no longer exists..." This time Damu was stung by sadness, but did his best to hide it from Mufasa. What was happening to him, he thought to himself. Otherwise he never had problems hiding his feelings and show no emotions at all. He shook his head and his mane flowed from side to side, following his movements. Damu got up on his feet and began walking towards the waterhole nearby. Though showing no signs of it, Damu hoped Mufasa would follow. A voice inside his head kept repeating: I don't want to be alone...

"No longer exists? You must be lonely..." Mufasa said. He stood up to follow the older lion, realizing that he never asked for a name.
"So... what's your name anyways?" He asked, tilting his head a bit to the side. "My name's Mufasa."
Mufasa opted to stay until the older lion shooed him off. He was bored and the older lion seemed interesting. So he would stay.
